We've Picked Out Lovely Spots In And Around Bangalore For Your Wedding Photoshoot

We know weddings call for impeccable attention to detail, right from the venue to what you wear on the big day. Going beyond the D-day, there are pre- and post-wedding shoots to add to the mix, all so you get to capture the beauty of the occasion and your relationship in lovely settings. Want to skip the usual resorts for your wedding photoshoot but not sure where to head to? We've picked out a diverse bunch of offbeat spots in and around Bangalore to sort you out.

Located near Nandi Hills, this 9th-century temple has ornate architectural details, pillared halls and a good dose of old-world charm. Perfect if you want to give your wedding pictures a rustic touch. When you're done making most of the temple complex and its picture-perfect corners, head to the stepped temple tank (our personal favourite spot!) for another round of stunning photographs. If only you could add the soft ripples and the calm vibes into these pictures, right?

A brick-red house with verdant surroundings, a spacious courtyard and plenty of open spaces - the place is sure to delight you. Go on and strike some romantic poses, add on some fun props or just let your love shine through the photos, accentuated by the striking background, of course.

Fancy photographs amidst the earthy shades of a hillside or an old railway track? Well, then, Makalidurga is the place to go to. Roughly 60 km from the ooru, the hill fort is an offbeat spot where you can experiment with shots, poses and other elements. Plus, there's always the appeal of the surrounding views to take your pics up a notch. While you're at it, make sure to get a few clicks at the railway tracks as well.

After the photography ban in Cubbon Park and Lalbagh came into effect, professional photographers have been turning to other parks in the city. Recently renovated with an expansive park, Hebbal Lake is an obvious option for photoshoots. Around summer, the park turns all the more beautiful with blooms all around, letting nature add the finishing touches to your wedding clicks.
Where: Hebbal Lake Park, Outer Ring Road, Hebbal

7. Grover Zampa Vineyards

What better place than a vineyard to get some great photographs, right? There's plenty of greenery around, vine-lined paths to stroll about and, of course, wines to sip on to keep you both in high spirits. If you reach the spot during the golden hours, you'll also get some cool photos under the canopy of the vines, with the soft sunlight streaming down through the leaves. Absolutely romantic, we say!
