Pre-Wedding Destinations to Plan for this Wedding Season
Bali’s Temple Shores
1Plus1 Studio
Bali has long been photographed to the point of familiarity, and yet it feels almost unseen again. The temple spires silhouetted against a restless sky, the salt in the air, the slow flicker of incense smoke, it all folds into a kind of quiet intimacy. These aren’t tourist postcards; they’re stills that hold breath and motion, light and shadow, all at once.
Samode Palace, Rajasthan
The Jaipur city lends itself effortlessly to pre-wedding shoots that blend heritage with intimacy. Its royal arches and sweeping staircases, the pastel courtyards kissed by morning light. Each corner of Jaipur feels made for a lens of grand, golden, and quietly nostalgic, like a love story that’s already stood the test of time.
Kumarakom, Kerala
1Plus1 Studio
In Kumarakom, on the edge of the serene Vembanad Lake, time feels slower, softer. The air smells of water lilies and salt, and mornings unfold in a haze of gold. It’s the kind of setting where romance writes itself—on a houseboat drifting past palm-lined shores or at a resort like The Zuri Kumarakom or Kumarakom Lake Resort, both offering private decks and sunset reflections that look painted. For couples who prefer quiet storytelling over spectacle, Kerala’s backwaters hold a kind of cinematic calm that no set could ever recreate.
Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad
1Plus1 Studio
If love could borrow the grandeur of history, it would look like this. At Falaknuma, marble staircases sweep into endless terraces, and chandeliers spill soft gold onto velvet walls. Balancing the regal with the personal, the heritage with the heartbeat. The result is imagery that feels both cinematic and quietly human, as if the palace itself has paused to listen.
White Rocks Quarry, Bangalore

Bangalore’s White Rocks Quarry is an unexpected canvas: pale cliffs, wide skies, and the kind of stillness that slows everything down. In winter, the light turns silver, sharp, almost translucent.
