Why not let some colonial architecture frame your shots with its stunning marble facades and grand domes and pillars? Even though it’s long past the Renaissance era, these locations easily reimagine that period and its splendour. So take advantage of the numerous museums in Singapore and conduct your photoshoots against our local historic beauties!

Speaking of alleyways, Singapore’s historically rich passageways can’t be left out. For instance, the popular Joo Chiat estate is full of vibrant shophouses that capture the elements of rich Peranakan heritage. The contrasting shades of pink and green easily add visual interest to your photograph without diverting attention away from you and your partner.

If alleys aren’t your thing, rooftops are also capable of adding the vintage charm you desire. In particular, rooftops constructed with the brutalist style offer a rugged look to your photographs. Buildings of this architectural style are characterised by their barebone structure and neutral colour palettes — perfect elements of a simple backdrop.

One building with this architectural style is the People’s Park Complex. Be sure to check out its spacious and old-fashioned rooftop!

Choosing the right location for pre-wedding photography in Singapore doesn’t have to be a difficult process. For starters, you can draw up a list of your preferences — be it natural or historical locations. This would help streamline your choices and recreate romance in wedding photographs that will last a lifetime.
