Photo: Maxim Koliberdin

Moscow has incredibly beautiful and photogenic places for wedding photography, and in this article you will see it. We have selected seven completely different venues to suit every taste, where you can take the best shots, as well as hold the celebration itself.

Sparrow Hills

Vorobyovy Gory is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the capital, offering a stunning panorama of the city. According to ancient legends, Vorobyovy Gory is one of the “Seven Hills” on which Moscow stands. The vast territory of the park allows you to take beautiful and unusual photographs.

Pros: Beautiful panoramic view of the city, plenty of scenery, large park.

Cons: Difficult to find a parking space and difficult to get to by public transport, crowded.

Metro: Vorobyovy Gory/University

Address: Moscow, intersection of st. Kosygin and Universitetsky proezd

Hotel Korston

I recently managed to photograph a wedding there, and the impressions were quite pleasant. The hotel is located on the banks of the Moscow River, in the Vorobyovy Gory area, a 10-minute drive from the historical center of the city, which, however, is fraught with traffic jams. When pre-ordering a wedding banquet or buffet for guests, photography is free. The hotel launched the “Brides' Ball” project, within which every Saturday from 12.00 to 17.00 and sometimes on Fridays the doors are opened for wedding photographers. Several specially designed rooms are available for filming:

1. Bar with panoramic views on the 20th floor
2. The hotel lobby, with the adjoining European restaurant Bonjour Café and its main attraction - a snow-white Bluthner grand piano. The piano plays on its own, we laughed a lot with the newlyweds.
3. Restaurant Galileo, stylized as a Greek galley
4. Banquet hall Place de Paris, designed in the form of a French square under the “open sky”, with tables, ladders, lanterns and a stage illuminated by lights. In my experience, it’s quite difficult to shoot there - the French square is in twilight, despite the completely daytime painted sky, and it’s dark there.

Also, according to the information from the hotel’s website, “business” and “comfort” category rooms are available for photography – 1000 rubles, filming time is no more than 4 hours. This offer is valid only upon presentation of a marriage certificate.

VDNKh (VVC)

All-Russian Exhibition Center is the largest exhibition center in Moscow. It is quite difficult to get around everything in one day, so think about the route and means of transportation in advance (it is possible to rent small electric cars). It is especially beautiful at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in the summer and spring - the time of flower beds and exhibitions. You should definitely visit distant corners, such as the Michurinsky Garden and the cascade of ponds. In addition, at the entrance to VDNKh, on the left and right there are two amusement parks, the pearl of which remains Moscow’s largest Ferris wheel (“Ferris Wheel”).

Pros: Large territory, abundance of architectural monuments and installations, beautiful landscapes.

Cons: Problems with parking, crowded, seasonal (fountains don’t work in cold weather), in summer there are a lot of cyclists/roller skaters.

Metro: VDNH

What to wear for a photo shoot

In order for the photo shoot to leave only pleasant impressions, you need to think through your wardrobe in advance. Here are some tips on what to wear for a rooftop shoot:

• paired costumes of any superheroes, for example, Batman;
• matching pajamas;
• the wedding suits themselves;
• You also need to bring warm clothes with you to use between shots;
• Girls should wear shoes with heels and replace them with low-soled shoes.

You can stay in your festive attire.

If the newlyweds want to shoot in a themed restaurant, then they need to choose suitable costumes. For a restaurant stylized as the Middle Ages, chic dresses and tailcoats are suitable, and for an establishment in the style of “minimalism” - laconic outfits without much decor. It is advisable to have luxurious carpets on the floor. A piano is welcome in the hall.

Do weather forecasters promise rain on your wedding day? Don’t be upset, in another article we told you how to organize the perfect wedding photo shoot in rainy weather.

Well, if the ceremony takes place in the cold season, all that remains is to prepare according to all the rules for the winter photo shoot of the newlyweds. What poses are best to choose, where to shoot, in what style? We answered these questions earlier.

Luzhkov Bridge and Reconciliation Bench

Recently built, Luzhkov Bridge has become one of the favorite places for lovers and newlyweds. Located between Bolotnaya Square and the Tretyakov Gallery. All along the bridge and the adjacent embankment there are iron trees hung with locks. The lovers hang locks with their names on the branches, make wishes, and throw the keys into the water. It is believed that this ritual will bring happiness and prosperity to the new family. At the end of the bridge there is the well-known “Bench of Reconciliation”. Its peculiarity is that it is impossible to sit on it on opposite sides, only side by side and only hugging. Wonderful place!

Pros: Beautiful photos, the opportunity to perform a ceremony with a padlock (there is also a tent nearby where you can purchase a padlock if you don’t have one)

Cons: Poor parking, a lot of people.

Metro: Tretyakovskaya

Address: Luzhkov Bridge connects Bolotnaya Square and Kadashevskaya Embankment, 10 minutes walk from the metro

Bagrationovsky Bridge

This pedestrian bridge is part of the Moscow City complex. It is just like the Kyiv one, closed with transparent, gracefully curved glass walls, which makes it indispensable in bad weather conditions, when no sane bride would agree to walk in the park.

I once photographed a wedding there in exactly these conditions. The rain poured down with no sign of stopping. The idea of ​​going to the park was discarded as impractical and we went there. It was very difficult to photograph because of some absolutely crazy crowd of newlyweds and photographers. Obviously, they all faced the same problem as we did, and since in normal times this bridge is much more beautiful and deserted than the Kiev bridge, they also chose it.

In good weather it is also very beautiful there and, I believe, there are still fewer people. Shooting on the bridge is unlikely to pass for a full-fledged walk, but then it is quite possible to stroll along the embankment and continue the photo shoot there.

Gorky Park of Culture and Leisure and Neskuchny Garden

Gorky Park is one of the most visited in the capital. A huge territory of 119 hectares contains an amusement park, all kinds of shops and cafes, an embankment and, of course, fountains.

Neskuchny Garden is a landscape park that has been preserved from a noble estate called “Neskuchnoye”. It is located on the right bank of the Moscow River and is often considered as part of the Gorky Cultural Park. The garden area is approximately 59.3 hectares. The garden has a huge number of interesting beauties and, of course, one of the popular places for a photo shoot is a beautiful huge wooden arch.

Pros: Large territory, beautiful landscapes for photos at any time of the year, the park is open 24 hours a day

Cons: Problems with parking (due to high traffic it is difficult to find a place), many people on weekends and holidays.

Metro: Park Kultury

Address: st. Krymsky Val, 9; from the metro 5 minutes walk along the Crimean Bridge

Museum-Reserve "Kolomenskoye"

Kolomenskoye is a state art historical-architectural and natural-landscape museum-reserve. Located south of the center of Moscow, it is part of the Moscow State United Museum-Reserve Kolomenskoye-Lefortovo-Lublino-Izmailovo. The advantages of this place include a large territory, location within the city and interesting places for shooting.

There are several colorful churches on the territory of Kolomenskoye. You can go down to the river and take pictures on the wooden stairs that connect the different levels of the park. Streams appear in spring and autumn. Well, the main attraction of Kolomenskoye for photographers is the apple orchard. The even rows of curved old apple trees leave few people indifferent at any time of the year; in the spring, during flowering, it is especially beautiful there, and even in the summer, when the apple trees bear fruit, you can take wonderful pictures.

I haven’t met too many newlyweds in Kolomenskoye, and this, coupled with the large area, makes it easy to shoot there. However, in the summer quite a lot of people come there for a walk, so sometimes you have to wait until passersby leave the frame. I never had any problems with filming there. Although, compared to Arkhangelsk, there are still fewer interesting places for filming.

Bagration Bridge and Moscow City

The Bagration Bridge is a shopping and pedestrian bridge across the Moscow River as part of the Moscow City complex under construction. Stunning views on one side of the bridge and huge glass towers on the other. Inside, the bridge itself is also an interesting object. On the one hand, this is a small shopping center, and on the other, an excellent viewing point on both sides of the Moscow River.

Pros: Filming can be done in any weather (on the bridge), unusual shots against the backdrop of the well-known Moscow City business complex.

Cons: there are often homeless people near the bridge; Bagration’s opening hours are on even days from 5:35 to 2:00, on odd days from 5:25 to 2:00. The route from Vystavochnaya station operates from 7:30 to 23:30.

Metro: Exhibition

Indoor places for photo sessions

Sokolniki Park

In addition, the park has several amusement towns that operate at above-zero temperatures and without precipitation.

Ideas if you don't want to get wet

These options may be useful for those who are suddenly caught in bad weather. Most often, newlyweds choose different rooms:

• Photo studio. The most obvious option. Rent a room for a few hours with an interesting interior and additional lighting that will highlight important details. Some photographers suggest moving immediately to your photography studio after it starts to rain.
• Palaces of culture, art galleries, antique salons. Massive columns, frescoes, vintage interiors - everything is created for an elegant, magnificent and solemn wedding.
• Cafes, bars and restaurants. A popular option that allows you to create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort. And if it’s summer, you can sit on the veranda or terrace.
• Shopping centers. Today, the architecture of these premises is striking in its originality. The large areas of the shopping center will allow you to arrange a photo shoot on a grand scale, without disturbing strangers.
• Hotel number. Rent a suite for the whole day. It will be useful not only for the first wedding night, but also for a daytime photo shoot.
• Automobile. Quite a winning option in rainy weather. Thanks to wet glass, photographs will be filled with mystery and charm. This is a timeless classic.

The author of this video suggests going to the library or billiards.

Hermitage Garden

The Hermitage Garden is a monument of landscape art, located in the central part of Moscow, in the area of ​​Karetny Ryad Street.

Pros: An island of nature in a big city, beautiful landscapes for photographs

Cons: Small area

From the metro 5-7 minutes on foot

Banquet and refreshments at a wedding in November

We do not shy away from the chosen theme of naturalness and naturalness when decorating tables and creating banquet menus.

Every detail should convey notes of family comfort and love.

November wedding table

A special atmosphere will be created by lit candles on the tables. When serving, it is better to use dishes of the same style.

Plates and flowerpots with gilding will look beautiful. It is better to use napkins to match the wedding color scheme. “Sprinkle” the glasses with artificial frost. Let them sparkle like the first November snow.

The autumn abundance of fruits and vegetables helps not only to diversify serving ideas, but also to prepare many interesting dishes. The menu simply must include grilled vegetables, mushrooms, and fruit pies.

In November, the idea of ​​a buffet is not entirely appropriate.

The cold forces guests to warm themselves with something. And those invited do not always choose outdoor games or dancing for this purpose. To avoid strong alcoholic drinks to warm you up, be sure to include hot dishes in the menu.

And if the banquet begins immediately after a walk, it is better to change traditions and start not with light salads and festive snacks, but with serving hot dishes. They will envelop guests with their unforgettable aromas and, of course, warm them up.

In November, you can already put various punches and grog on the tables. Even ladies will like such warming drinks with rum.

Wedding cake in November

The cake occupies a special place on the wedding table. How should it be different at a November wedding?

Of course, the design. To do this, you can make leaves and bunches of rowan from mastic.

Fruits, even fresh ones, would also be appropriate on the cake as decoration, as well as berries.

Chocolate cakes or sweets with chocolate icing fit perfectly into the November theme.

Botanical Garden of Moscow State University "Apothecary Garden"

The Main Botanical Garden named after N.V. Tsitsin RAS is the largest botanical garden in Europe, has the richest collections of plants representing the diverse flora of almost all continents and climatic zones of the globe. This is one of the most beautiful places in Moscow.

On the territory of the “Apothecary Garden” there is a beautiful Japanese garden.

Pros: Beautiful landscape

Cons: Paid entrance (from 200 rubles) and filming (from 2000 rubles), the Botanical Garden is open from April 29 to October 19. In April and October, planting work is carried out in the garden. In winter the garden is closed. Monday and Thursday are days off.

Other months:

A wedding in November is the ideal solution for those who want to fill this significant day with unusual contrasts, a special twist and vivid impressions. There always comes a time in the lives of people in love when they decide to move to a new stage in their relationship - to get married. And this solemn day should remain in the memory of the young for many years, as the happiest day in their lives. The first question that arises when planning a wedding is the question of the time of year and the date of the festive event. It all depends on the desires and preferences of the future spouses. Winter, spring, summer and autumn are absolutely equal to each other and have their own charms. There are not so many people who want to get married in November, so the queues at the registry office are noticeably decreasing, but the likelihood that the day chosen by the newlyweds will be free increases. This is a definite plus. For all lovers, a wedding is the happiest day of their life. And nothing can overshadow this holiday. So don’t count November out of the wedding season, it’s just as good as other months.

Tsaritsyno

A one-of-a-kind example of Russian Gothic architecture, it has a huge area with many neat alleys, paths and ponds. At the entrance, guests are greeted by a musical fountain, which can be approached via two graceful bridges. When approaching the palaces, you will see stylized fortress gates with towers.

How to entertain guests during a walk?

Buffet and area for wishes

If you are planning a banquet or off-site registration at a country hotel or cottage, prepare a buffet table with light snacks and drinks for guests. It is also worth organizing a special relaxation area where guests can relax and spend time in a calm environment while waiting for you.

An excellent addition to the buffet table can be live music or a mini-concert. Set up a special area for wishes in advance. While waiting for you, guests will be able to leisurely write pleasant words in your book of wishes or take part in the filming of a wedding video.

Guest photo session

While you're capturing unforgettable images of your wedding day, you can encourage your guests to do the same! Prepare a special photo zone for guests, choose a background and the necessary props. To diversify the shooting, you can come up with a plot for the photo shoot in advance or even assign roles to the guests.

Prepare special slate boards on which guests can write wishes and capture them in photos. A great find for a wedding would be a Polaroid, with which guests can take snapshots and paste them into your wish book or take them with them as a small souvenir.

Quest

One of the most interesting options could be organizing a quest for your guests! Divide them into teams, draw up a map, come up with tasks and a prize for which they will fight. As tasks, you can choose different forms of wishes for the bride and groom: compose a wish poem, record a congratulation video, or solve riddles about the couple.

The quest should be conducted by a professional leader who will oversee the entire process and who guests can contact for details.

Excursions

If the wedding is taking place abroad or you have chosen an old manor with an interesting history as the venue, you can organize a sightseeing tour for your guests. Invite a guide who can tell you interesting facts about the city or individual historical places. A sea of ​​emotions is guaranteed for your guests! In addition, such an excursion will give them many new topics for conversation at the wedding table.

Master Class

The master class will take exactly the 1-2 hours that you will spend on a walk. Don't plan something big - just choose a creative but simple theme. For example, invite guests to learn a new dance, put together a bouquet with a professional florist, or decorate cupcakes for a sweet table. Find specialists in advance who can organize the process. Don’t forget to prepare the place for the master class, as well as the necessary accessories: gloves, scissors, aprons, etc.

Izmailovsky Park

Izmailovo is divided into two parts - a forest park, similar to a real forest with dark thickets, and an elegant park of culture and recreation.

Favorable shooting time

In late autumn, it is important to choose the right time for shooting so that daylight beautifully emphasizes the subject of the photo. Daylight hours are divided into several ranges:

• Morning dawn light from 8-15 to 9-00. The sun is at its zenith 12-20. Evening pre-sunset light from 15-30 to 16-10.

Pros of a November wedding

• Inexpensive wedding services;
• Large selection of holiday dates;
• A large number of free restaurants;
• The wedding will not be standard;
• There is no queue at the registry office.

In November, restaurants, just like in other months, hold holiday celebrations, only at lower prices. And all because November is no longer wedding season. This means that finding a suitable place for the celebration will not be difficult. In general, in November, prices for holding events drop noticeably. This is an ideal month for holding both a modest and a magnificent wedding. Young people will not have to stand in lines, order an outfit in advance, or look for a free hall. Preparing for the holiday will be calm and pleasant.

Kuskovo Estate

Recommendations for newlyweds

• Use only waterproof cosmetics and strong hair fixatives. Professional makeup artists have long been able to apply makeup in such a way that it not only lasts all day, but also does not run due to the rain.
• Spray your clothes with a moisture-repellent spray before going outside. This will help keep things from getting wet.
• Be sure to take extra pairs of shoes, stockings and socks. Unfortunately, water will definitely get into your shoes, and then your whole day risks being ruined. And if it’s autumn, there’s a risk of catching a cold.

With these simple tips, your looks will be perfect for the rest of the day.

Arkhangelskoye Estate

The large palace and park ensemble Arkhangelskoye estate is located near Krasnogorsk. On its territory there are three beautiful parks - Italian with terraces, sculptures and balustrades, regular French with berceau galleries and trimmed trees, and landscape English. The Big Palace, the Small Palace "Caprice", the Colonnade-Tomb, the Church of Michael the Archangel, beautiful views - there is something to see and where to walk, this is a very pleasant and beautiful place.

Pros: Beautiful landscape, huge territory, many places for a photo shoot.

Cons: Paid entrance (from 150 rubles) and filming (3000 rubles), remoteness from Moscow.

Address: st. Pavshino village MPS, Krasnogorsk, Moscow region.

Wedding photo shoot in Moscow

A wedding photo shoot should be entrusted to an experienced photographer who knows how to navigate the location well. In a short period of time, it is important to take many beautiful and varied photographs that will remain for the newlyweds a memory of a happy day. When planning a walk route, you need to choose the locations wisely, combining outdoor photography with architectural or interior photography.

Less popular sites and irrelevant places:

Other places (without photos): Izmailovsky Park, Taganka Furniture Museum, Dorfman, Yusupov Palace, Sokolniki, Patriarchal Bridge, Ararat Park Hyatt, Krylatsky Hills, Arbat, Serednikovo Estate, Marfino Estate.

Red Square and GUM

Perhaps the most famous landmark of Moscow is Red Square. Business card and city center. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come here for the most beautiful photographs. After walking around the square, you can go to GUM and take very interesting pictures.

Pros:

The center of the capital, beautiful bright shots in any season

Minuses:

Very crowded, paid parking

Metro: Revolution Square, Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya

Poses for the bride and groom

This moment is perhaps the most important in the entire photo shoot. Of course, a good photographer knows what poses will make for great photos, but you should have several options in your arsenal that you can be 100% confident in.

• Face to face. Some of the most tender wedding shots are those in which the newlyweds look at each other. Such photos are most romantic when taken in a long shot, however, even a close-up will not spoil the shots.

• Holding hands. You can walk in the rain along a beautiful alley, or you can hide under an umbrella - there are many options for this pose. Choose places where there are no large crowds of people, then this pose will look doubly advantageous. As if no one around exists for these two, the Universe belongs only to them. Shots in which hands are captured close-up look great. Such photos look very touching.

• The groom carries the bride in his arms. This option is suitable only for those who are confident in their abilities. Just taking the bride in your arms and not dropping her is not enough. For good photos you need to pose, so you will have to hold your loved one in your arms for a while. For such shots, a long shot would be appropriate. And in the rain, such photographs look much more impressive.

• Embrace. This pose can be played out in different ways. In rainy weather, hugs under an umbrella will look appropriate - this attribute will serve as a kind of shelter for two, creating a “separate world” for them. Usually, in this pose, the eyes of lovers are half-closed - this adds romance to the shots.

• Kisses. They can be modest, romantic, passionate - there is plenty to roam here. A kiss on the bride's forehead or nose looks very sweet and gentle. Kisses in an embrace, with a bride's bouquet or under a veil will look romantic. A close-up will add passion to your photos.

We also suggest that you watch this video and take note of several interesting poses.

Cathedral of Christ the Savior and Patriarchal Bridge

Immediately after its opening, this bridge became a popular place among lovers and newlyweds. It was on this bridge that a new phenomenon was first noticed in Moscow - “love locks” began to appear on its fence: large barn ones, small and elegant ones, with or without names. Here is a stunningly beautiful view of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Kremlin and Yakimanskaya embankment.

Pros: Picturesque view, opportunity to take beautiful pictures.

Cons: Problems with parking, crowded.

Metro: Kropotkinskaya

Address: st. Volkhonka, 15

Wedding photo shoot in good weather

I conduct outdoor wedding photo shoots using creative lenses. They give a gorgeous artistic picture. It is convenient to use two cameras at once: one with a portrait lens, and the second with a wide-angle lens.

Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill

Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill is one of the most iconic places in Russia. People come here from all over the world. During a wedding walk, many traditionally come to lay flowers at the Eternal Flame. Poklonnaya Gora is one of the most beautiful places for photo shoots. Green alleys, majestic architecture and, of course, unique fountains.

Pros: Large area, beautiful view

Cons: Paid parking, windy in cold weather

Metro: Victory Park

Novodevichy Convent

The monastery is located in the southwest of Moscow, near the Sportivnaya metro station, close to many of the main “wedding points”: from Vorobyovy Gory to Poklonnaya Gora. Not the best place for a main walk, but the area adjacent to the monastery with a pond is very beautiful. During the shooting, one of my couples stopped by there to walk around the walls of the monastery and along the alleys, and also to hang a symbol of love and fidelity, a personalized padlock, on a small bridge on the territory.

Gifts for guests at a wedding in November

Place gifts in bags. The main thing is to choose the right fabric.

Take coarse burlap, which is used to make original bonbonniere bags. They can be filled like regular bonbonnieres with chocolates, lollipops, and cookies.

But the fashion for bonbonnieres is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Today, young people are trying to give guests more original souvenirs.

Take advantage of seasonal gift ideas for guests. These can be jars of jam, honey or jam.

More substantial gift options are also suitable. Seasonal gifts in the form of warm blankets, scarves, and pillows will help you warm up and surprise your guests.
