If you want mother nature to be the star of your pre-wedding shoot, Krabi is the place to be.

Pack your bags for this epic shoot in this tropical paradise! 

 

2. Mui Ne, Vietnam 

The sand dunes of Mui Ne are one of its biggest attractions and also provide a stunning Sahara-like background closer to home. Just four hours away from Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne is a coastal town and its dunes are constantly shaped and reshaped by the coastal winds. There is no shortage of creative possibilities that you can explore at Mui Ne - go ahead, run barefoot on the sand and capture the moment!

 

3. Siem Reap, Cambodia

Explore the opportunity of shooting pre-wedding photography in locations like the iconic Angkor Wat or the Bayon. Drone shots will be ideal in Angkor Thom, while Banteay Srei also makes for a stunning background to pose in. While the rustic beauty and appeal of Angkor Wat is no secret, it is worth knowing that the Bayon sits right in the center of Angkor Thom and represents the intersection of heaven and Earth. If you love your future spouse to heaven and back, this will be the ideal shooting spot to represent your love!  Basically, it is impossible to go to Siem Reap and not come back with an album that looks nothing short of cinematic and absolutely dreamy!

 

4. Bali, Indonesia 

Pick any spot in Bali and you can be sure that it’ll be as picturesque as the next. Bali has always been considered an exotic Southeast Asian holiday destination in the past few years but recently, even wedding photographers are turning to this idyllic ‘Island of Gods’ for pre-wedding shoots that you’d be hard pressed to believe are shot in Southeast Asia! The Bamboo Forest in Bangli, Doors of Heaven in Pura Lempuyang and Ubud are just a few of the numerous spots to consider.
