The grandeur of this historical monument near Golconda Fort is like no other. With a legendary love story behind this structure and the medieval architecture giving photographers stunning frames, Taramati Baradari is a top choice amongst city folks as a pre-wedding photoshoot venue in Hyderabad.

Having recently became a bio-diversity heritage site, the first of its kind for a lake—this place is a great attraction for bird photographers. But, come evening, portrait photographers are here doing pre-wedding shoots for couples. Be careful here though, as beautiful as this place is, it does have lots of birds and animals, so make sure you stay out of their way.

Distance from Hyderabad: Approximately 20 km

This is one of the most historic and most recognised monuments of our country and obviously, the cultural icon of Hyderabad. Plus, this 400-year-old architectural masterpiece is also a UNESCO world heritage site. Cutting short, Charminar can set a background that won't let you take your eyes off it! It's immensely beautiful and easily captures the old charm. However, it is always crowded. So, the best time to go for the shoot would be in the morning.

If you don't mind travelling a few hours, we recommend heading to the Laknavaram lake to make a trip out of your photoshoot days. The hanging bridge over the lake is where you can get some stunning shots of you and your boo. While you're there, you can also indulge in bird watching, kayaking, stargazing, bonfire nights, and camping. Do check the weather forecast and the prevailing weather conditions before heading there, since the lake tends to overflow during the monsoon season. 

Distance from Hyderabad: Approximately 211 km

Nizam film city claims to be the biggest air conditioned studio for pre wedding shoots in Hyderabad with forty set themes spread across a five acre property. From minimal to rustic to traditional South Indian, there are several sets here that'll let your imagination run wild. We recommend conducting a recce at the spot to pre-decide on which sets you'll be using, since there's a huge variety to choose from. While they do have caravans on rent, they also have green rooms right next to the sets to save you the tedious walk. And even though there are numerous indoor sets here, the outdoor ones like the palace and a European style villa caught our eye.

Looking for the nearest beach destination around Hyderabad? Head to the Chirala beach in the early hours of the morning while the fishermen set out to sail. The beach here is truly stunning and tranquil, and you can book your stay at the Sea Breeze Resorts (where you can also get some shots.) As the day goes by, the beach gets slightly crowded, so we recommend timing it in the early morning hours.

The heritage property has a lot to offer, right from the absolutely stunning staircases, ballrooms and of course, the panoramic city view.

Formerly a part of the Koti Women's College, the British Residency has been restored to its former glory, complete with the ballroom and the iconic staircase. Get some shots on the stairway leading up to the building, or at the Durbar Hall. The 216 year old monument photographs supremely well, which is probably why you may have spotted it in several movies as well.

Several couples choose the Ramappa Temple, a UNESCO heritage site and the Thousand Pillar Temple at Warangal for their stunning architecture. Both the temples are a few centuries old, are iconic and hold immense historic significance to Telangana. If you're picking the spots for your shoot, we recommend heading there during off season and early hours, so you can shoot at leisure without any disturbances, or disturbing the other tourists. Since they're such significant monuments, it's best to be as careful as you can while you're shooting there.

Foto Garage feels less like a studio and more like a dreamscape build for love stories. It’s a playground for couples who want their pre-wedding shoot to be anything but ordinary, think themed sets, quirky backdrops, and that cinematic touch that makes every frame look like a movie still. The vibe here is fun and polished. You can move from a rustic, vintage set up to a bright, whimsical corner within minutes, which means your photos get that layered, editorial charm without the need to hop across different locations in the city.
