1. Beachside

One of the classic locations to have a wedding these days is by the coast, for the landlocked ones amongst you there are always beautiful and inspiring lakes to the same effect.

It makes for a very cinematic and unforgettable portrait and a memory for the couple and guests that won’t be soon forgotten.
2. Forest
A classic alternative to the typical cathedral, and an antithesis to the man-made paradigm that plagues so many. Going back to nature seems to be increasing in popularity, with a range of wedding planners specializing in the greenery nuptials. The endless possibilities that reside in a forested environment make for a unique and completely private experience for your special day and allows everyone to gather in a quieter location to enjoy the moment all the more.
3. Barn Weddings
