Too popular places for a photo shoot in St. Petersburg

As a rule, before or after the marriage ceremony, a walking photo session follows. The city of St. Petersburg is just perfect in this respect. There is a high concentration of historical buildings, beautiful places, intertwined antiquity and modernity.

So many interesting and unusual places for a photo shoot. But there are also such locations, which, although beautiful, are too popular. Every day there you can meet more than one couple of newlyweds. These places are located in the city center, within walking distance of each other. All but one.

Probably the most popular place for photo shoots. And not only for brides, but also for graduates and tourists. Here you can always meet Peter the Great and Catherine, who offer to take a photo with them for a rather high price. Probably because it is the nearest attraction to the Marriage Palace No. 1, it is so popular.

Literally 200 meters away from the Bronze Horseman is one of the most imposing and impressive cathedrals in St. Petersburg - St. Isaac's Cathedral. There is also a public garden where everyone takes pictures. If you look from the side, this place reminds something of the clearing near the Leaning Tower of Pisa. A lot of people taking pictures! If you turn to one side - St. Isaac's Cathedral, to the other - historical hotels of St. Petersburg Astoria and Angleterre. And there is a nice cafe “Happiness” right next to it. 70% of all wedding photos are from these places

Everything is simple here! You only have to leave the Palace of Marriage No. 1, and there it is - the English embankment. Here you can go down to the water and take a photo against the background of the bridge. And the most important thing is that you don't need to go anywhere. But what to occupy the guests at this time

The most famous and, of course, popular square for photo shoots. Here, too, you can meet both Peter and Catherine. But unlike the Bronze Horseman, there is enough space here for everyone, it is so gigantic. However, not only tourists gather on it, but also local youth. Especially in summer they like to ride skateboards, bicycles or just sit on the warm stone masonry. And also various concerts and events are often held here. So if you want to have a photo shoot on Palace Square, check the schedule in advance!

Here we have reached the place that you can't walk to from the center. Although this bridge is not famous for its beauty, it is the most popular among honeymooners. Sometimes couples and their photographers go right out onto the roadway and endanger themselves.

In any guide on places for a wedding photo shoot you will meet at least one of these places. But our city is really an open-air museum! And if you drive away from it at least 20 kilometers, there will be even more interesting and unusual places. Ask your photographer to choose not the most popular and easily accessible place, but something really interesting!

Beautiful weddings and unique photos
