A pre-wedding shoot isn’t just a trend—it’s a beautiful way to tell your love story before the big day. And what better place to do it than Jaipur, the Pink City? With its majestic forts, regal palaces, colorful streets, and timeless charm, Jaipur has become one of India’s top destinations for pre-wedding photography.
At Vishalphotos, we’ve captured pre-wedding and wedding moments across Jaipur since 1999. After working with thousands of couples and exploring the city’s hidden gems, we’ve created this curated list of the top 10 pre-wedding photoshoot locations in Jaipur—complete with pro tips to make your shoot unforgettable.
1. Amber Fort (Amer Fort)
Best for: Royal themes, golden hour portraits, traditional outfits
Pro Tip: Early morning or late afternoon offers the best light and fewer crowds.
Amber Fort is one of Jaipur’s most iconic heritage sites, known for its massive gates, cobbled paths, and majestic architecture. Its grand courtyards, jharokhas (balconies), and ancient walls set the perfect tone for regal, cinematic portraits.
2. Jal Mahal (Water Palace)
Best for: Romantic silhouettes, tranquil lake reflections
Pro Tip: Use a wide lens to capture the palace’s reflection and frame the couple from a nearby viewpoint.
Floating peacefully in the center of Man Sagar Lake, Jal Mahal creates a magical, serene backdrop—especially at sunrise or sunset. Although entry inside the palace isn’t allowed, the lakeside view is ideal for creating dreamlike portraits.
3. Patrika Gate (Jawahar Circle)
Best for: Vibrant traditional outfits, colorful and artistic frames
Pro Tip: Go early to avoid heavy foot traffic; experiment with long shots through the arches for depth.
Arguably the most photographed gate in Jaipur, Patrika Gate is an architectural marvel painted in rich Rajasthani hues. Each archway tells a visual story, making it ideal for editorial-style photoshoots.
4. Nahargarh Fort
Best for: Dramatic sunset views, couple silhouettes, candid rooftop shots
Pro Tip: The rooftop (Padao Café side) offers one of the best panoramic city views for wide-angle shots.
Overlooking Jaipur from the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh Fort offers a quiet escape with breathtaking vistas. Its sandstone structures and peaceful ambiance make it perfect for romantic golden-hour shoots.
5. City Palace
Best for: Royal, timeless, and luxurious looks
Pro Tip: Check for photography permissions or opt for a guided couple shoot session inside the palace.
City Palace combines Mughal and Rajput architecture in a luxurious blend. The vivid doors (like the Peacock Gate), carved courtyards, and intricate ceilings lend themselves to elegant and poised couple portraits.
6. Albert Hall Museum
Best for: Vintage tones, Indo-Saracenic architecture, formal couple portraits
Pro Tip: Plan your shoot during blue hour (twilight) to capture the lit façade.
A true historical gem, Albert Hall Museum boasts grand arches, colonial charm, and stunning outdoor lighting in the evening. It’s an ideal choice for couples who want a classic and cultured backdrop.
7. Samode Palace
Best for: Royal heritage look, offbeat elegance, luxurious couples
Pro Tip: Ideal for destination couples; opt for indoor + courtyard shots for variety.
Located about an hour outside Jaipur, Samode Palace is a luxury heritage property that feels like a fairy tale. From mirror-work halls to beautifully lit terraces, every corner is photo-worthy.
8. Jaigarh Fort
Best for: Rugged, earthy textures, bold looks
Pro Tip: Use contrast—soft couple poses against bold fort walls for cinematic balance.
Known for its strong walls and massive architecture, Jaigarh offers rustic vibes and fewer crowds. It’s a great spot for couples who want a bolder, more raw look to their shoot.
9. Panna Meena Ka Kund
Best for: Artistic shots, geometric patterns, candid moments
Pro Tip: Use symmetry in your compositions and avoid cluttered angles.
This stepwell near Amber is a visual delight for lovers of symmetry and geometry. Its zig-zag staircases and calm setting provide a unique and unconventional shoot location.
10. Jawahar Circle Garden
Best for: Nature-based shots, casual and candid storytelling
Pro Tip: Perfect for outfit changes or light-hearted moments like walking, laughing, or picnic-style shots.
A well-maintained park with fountains, arches, and flowers—Jawahar Circle offers a mix of nature and structure. Ideal for couples who want a joyful, playful vibe in their shoot.
