The Scenic Spots of Los Angeles
Los Angeles is home to wonderful sights for engaged couples hoping to document their wedding. Professional wedding photographers will know all the best spots. However, there are places you can go to take your own photos if you’re camera savvy. If you have a friend who’s a skilled photographer, call them up for a favor, or offer a rate that will benefit all by saving you money while they earn supplemental income. Whether you use a professional or not, these are some of the best spots to take outdoor wedding photos in Los Angeles.
The most obvious spot for outdoor wedding photos in California is the beach. Not all beaches are equal, so you’ll need to do some hunting for the perfect spot. The best recommendation we have for beach photos is at El Matador State Beach. Located in Malibu, this beach is a perfect blend of ocean, sand, and magnificent rock caves to bring enchantment to your wedding photos. It’s accessible every day from 8 a.m. until the sun goes down. Photos of the sunset at El Matador will be unforgettable and bring the beauty you’ve been searching for.
The Griffith Observatory is another great spot to take wedding photos. I know what you’re thinking, “Really? An observatory?” Yes! This observatory has beautiful architecture and is truly a great spectacle. Not to mention it’s higher than 1,300 feet in elevation and provides one of the best views of Los Angeles anyone could hope for. With the entire city below you, and a top notch display of open sky above, you’ll have wedding photos that capture the magnitude of earth and heaven.
The city has places that create ambiance as well. Perhaps you’d like a nighttime, city photoshoot in addition to your beach and auditorium shots. The Urban Lights at LACMA seems like the setting of a modern fairytale. It’s a hotspot for local photographers and provides more than adequate lighting to illuminate your wedding photos. With 202 antique streetlamps this urban spectacle is marvelous.
If you’re looking for a foreign flavor in your photos, you can visit the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden to appear well traveled. The garden is a very popular venue for wedding photos. The price to take photos varies depending on how many people will be on location, including your hired photographers and their staff.
Finally there’s the Exposition Rose Garden. Nothing says romance like an abundance of roses in the backdrop of your wedding photos. There are tons of vibrant colors to choose from, especially in Spring, Summer, and Fall. The architecture of the Natural History Museum, and the surrounding array of beautiful roses, make this a prime spot for forging memories.
Those are my top five favorite places in Los Angeles to take wedding photos. I don have a few honorable mentions that didn’t quite make the list. The first is the Walt Disney Concert Hall. This building’s architecture is unique, contorted, and brings a modern twist to your photos. The honorable mention for California culture is Venice Beach. If growing up around Venice Beach is something you’re proud, or if you just love its culture, there are plenty of great spots to take high quality wedding photos.
