Interesting locations for your wedding photography portraits.

It’s important that your wedding photography portraits reflect your style and your personality. Extra special portraits are in handpicked locations that mean something to you and your partner or can bring out what you both love the most. It’s also fun to add a little bit of imagination and unique qualities to these portraits, so we’ve compiled a list of some creative and interesting locations for you!

The Beach

If you love the sound of crashing waves, and the feeling of sandy toes, then look no further than a beach location. To make it extra exciting, you can even dive right in and get wet. The beach always looks great beneath the golden glow of the sunset, so ask your photographer if these photos can be taken during the ‘golden hour’.

A Lake

A lakeside setting evokes a lot of emotions and reflects many activities that you may want to incorporate into your wedding portraits. The lakeside itself can create a very dramatic and wide-scope, natural atmosphere. You can even play around with the idea of being on a row boat or getting creative with the Lake’s surroundings and opportunities.

A Vineyard

The elegant and natural setting of a vineyard is traditional and beautiful. Often surrounded by lush green rolling hills, as well as quaint little towns and houses, a vineyard can create a storybook-like and grand environment for your portraits.

Botanic Gardens and Parks

Visit a nearby botanical garden, park or arboretum to find your flower and garden inspiration. Gorgeous natural beauty can be the perfect addition to your wedding photography portraits.

Mountain Top

Have a spirit of adventure? Get your heart racing and adrenaline pumping as you pose atop a mountain. If you and your partner enjoy staying active, hiking, and just soaking up the sun and the scenic beauty of the earth, a mountain top portrait is perfect for you! The great heights and cinematic scope of the location will add a whole new level of excitement and intrigue to your photos.

Carousel or Carnival

Release your inner child and imagination with wedding photography portraits at your favourite carousel or carnival. There are so many colourful and exciting things to think about. Will you be sitting on the merry-go-round, shooting water pistols for the best prize, or soaring high into the air on a Ferris wheel?

Street Art

Melbourne has an iconic selection of street art, and they could be perfect for your wedding photography portraits! Find your style of graphic art and murals and use them as larger than life backdrops for your photos. You can even let them serve as inspiration to your poses and outfits!

Sport Stadium

Are you and your partner big sports fans? Show off your team colours in their home ground on your wedding day. You can rent out an entire stadium for some amazing photos and memorable moments, or even find some locations around the outside and get your poses ready!

Monument

Wedding photography portraits at your favourite landmark can add a new layer of depth and meaning to your special day. Whether historical or contemporary, monuments and landmarks have great qualities for photo shoots. They have a unique sense of scale and angles and can tell stories beyond your wedding.

Rooftops

If you’re a city lover, or just obsessed with the skyline of your home town, a rooftop setting is calling your name. Whether during the day with the world looking back at you, or during the night as the city lights glisten in the distance, there are so many interesting ways to capture your portrait. It’s surprisingly stunning to head up to the top of a building or hotel and witness the scenic views of your city of choice.

Private Mansion or Castle

There’s no such thing as over the top when taking your wedding photography portraits. Why not spend your time strolling through stunning gardens and grand architecture, while finding perfect little spots to pose with your partner? You can never go wrong with a sophisticated and elegant style. Or why not have even more fun and add a playful and energetic touch to the mansion or castle you visit.

Plane Hangar

If you have a passion for travelling, or are just looking for something different, a plane hangar can create a unique atmosphere for your wedding portraits. You might even be able to find a local flight instructor or pilot who can give you exclusive access to an airplane.

Bridges

Melbourne has a large variety of bridges, and bridge styles throughout the city and wider region. From natural environments, to city hustle and bustle, posing on an overlooking bridge can create an interesting element of seclusion yet immersion with your surrounding of choice. The narrow space also frames you and your partner perfectly to make it easy to pose naturally and beautifully.

Ski Slope

If you’re having a winter wedding, why not head up to one of Melbourne’s snowy peaks and show off your best moves. The scenic beauty of snowy landscapes is unique and exciting, it will definitely stand out from your friend’s photos.

Place of Work

If you and your partner met at work, or are passionate about what you do for a living, why not bring that into your wedding photography portraits? In an office, on the road, on the stage, or in a studio, there are many different ideas that can come about when thinking of these locations. There are no rules saying you have to stay traditional with your photos.

University or School

Sometimes true love can begin in the hallways of your university or school. If you and your partner attended and met at the same university, you can retrace your steps and have your wedding photography portraits taken back where it all began! Many universities around Melbourne are extremely photogenic and have beautiful old buildings and great photography spaces.

Home

If the idea of location scouting is stressing you out, feel free to remain in the comfort of your own home. This can give your portraits an honest and authentic feeling.

Movie Theatre / Live Theatre

If you’re a film buff or lover of the performing arts, this is a great opportunity to capture your interests in a stunning and memorable way. Melbourne theatres are historical and gorgeous venues for a photo shoot and can be mixed up with traditional outdoor portraits and candid indoor shots too. Feeling brave? Get up on stage!
