1/10
Gardens by the Bay
What could be a better prop to your wedding shoot than the sparkling 16 storey high Supertrees or breathtaking Flower Dome? Gardens by the Bay is stunning at any time of the day but it’s at night when the place takes on a magical vibe with the twinkling lights lighting up the Super Grove and a dazzling display of shooting lights bursting across the inky sky.
2/10
Pulau Ubin
This little island, a mere 15 minute boat ride away is perfect if you want to have a pre-wedding shoot styled around the sea, the beach and endless plots of greenery. Those looking for vintage vibes will also find Pulau Ubin the perfect spot with its rustic old wooden houses, viewing jetty and undeveloped landscape.
3/10
Universal Studios
Didn’t get to make it all the way to Disneyland? Well Singapore’s Universal Studios more than makes up for it with its 7 different-themed areas such as Madagascar, Hollywood, New York, Sci-fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World and Far Far Away – you know what that means: 7 different unique backdrops for your wedding album! Of course, a shot in front of Shrek’s fairy tale castle is a must!
4/10
Henderson Waves
This 274-metre long pedestrian bridge takes credit for being the highest and most unique bridge in Singapore with its distinctive wave-like structure. The golden architectural waves of the bridge make for a beautiful wedding shoot backdrop almost any time of the day but nightfall is when the bridge truly transforms from pumpkin to carriage with its hundreds of colour changing LED lights illuminating the area from 7pm to 2am daily.
5/10
Haji Lane
Those looking to add a pop of colour to their pre-wedding photos will take delight in the beautiful, artsy walls of Haji Lane. The narrow alleyways, quaint little boutiques and creative graffiti will certainly make for a memorable shoot and unique backdrop.
6/10
Chinatown
Singapore may be a modern metropolis but it still retains its ethnic heritage and cultural charm in places like Chinatown. Those having a traditional Chinese wedding or looking to mix things up with an exotic locale will no doubt be impressed with the Oriental vibes of the enclave with its fusion of baroque and Victorian architecture and red Chinese lanterns adorning the street.
7/10
Hort Park
Whoever said Singapore is nothing but a sprawling concrete jungle has never been to Hort Park. With 21 theme gardens boasting unique and beautiful landscapes, this 9-hectare park certainly has some dreamy backdrops up its gardened path.
8/10
Mount Faber
For a stunning bird’s eye view of the Lion City, make it your mission to have your wedding shoot at Singapore’s second highest hill. Getting to the top in a cable car is part of the fun and once there, you’ll certainly want to waste no time capturing the beautiful scenery around –with you and your fiancé in it of course! With nature, telescopes and cable cars surrounding you, you can be sure your shoot won’t be lacking in props or exciting scenes.

Marina Bay Sands
The iconic Marina Bay Sands needs no introduction and if you’re looking for an urban yet luxe feel to your pre-wedding photoshoot, we can’t think of a better venue to immortalize your love in. Even if you choose not to go to the top of MBS Skypark, the surrounding area is filled with architectural marvels like the Esplanade, the National Museum and Anderson Bridge that are sure to provide for a lovely backdrop to your pre-wedding shoot.
10/10
Fort Canning

It’s easy to see why Fort Canning is a popular pre-wedding shoot location with brides. Rich in history and lush with magnificent flora and fauna, the place provides for many charming photo ops with its well-manicured lawns, hilltop tranquillity and magnificent Fort Gate which acts as a ready-made photo frame for your photographer to get some stunning shots.

Whether you like nature, the beach or urban landscapes, there are plenty of gorgeous locales in the Lion City where you can immortalize your love through the wedding album.

Between Pinterest, wedding blogs and well meaning relatives, most brides are certainly not short of ideas when it comes to wedding planning and included in the big day shenanigans is the pre-wedding photoshoot.

More often than not, choosing a pre-wedding shoot location is just as hard as deciding where the actual wedding ceremony will be held. Of course, popular destinations like Paris and Disneyland will always have their advocates, but why break the bank and journey thousands of miles when Singapore has no shortage of beautiful photoshoot locations to choose from? Whether you like nature, the sea or urban landmarks, there’s plenty of places that will meet the wishes of even the fussiest of brides.

Choosing the perfect location that is equal parts dreamy and feasible can be a paralyzing decision, which is why we’ve gone ahead and compiled some of Singapore’s most attractive locales with backdrops that will certainly make for a stunning wedding album.
