1. Desert

That's the first thing that crosses one's mind and it's also probably the most popular choice for wedding photographers. Just let your bright outfits flow with the natural breeze and add a striking contrast to the low-lit sand dunes.

The serenity and the openness make it the perfect setting for a pre-wedding photoshoot session!

2. Dubai Metro

Ever thought that the Dubai metro with all its loud announcements and hustle bustle could be made to appear all romantic and peaceful? Why not! It just needs the right mood, lighting and the magic fingers of the photographer.

3. Madinat Jumeirah

Pick any nook or corner of the magnificent Madinat Jumeirah - and add just the right touch of magic to every frame. Each brick and stone of the iconic structure has a love story to tell if gifted with a tongue.

4. The beaches

If it's a beach wedding you're considering in the UAE, then why not tie in your pre-wedding shoot with your invites? The blue turquoise setting of the beach or the dusky shades of yellow during sunset can turn a wedding invitation into a pretty photo that will set the tone for your beach celebrations.

5. Find love under water

Get a little offbeat and skip the run-of -mill ideas. Wear your bathing suits (or just suits) and dive in for this unusual wedding shoot. If there's something called the most romantic place, it is underwater. Even more so if adventure sports is your thing.

6. Fujairah Mountains

Just about two hours from the chaos of Dubai, ithere's this romantic getaway. If mountains are your taste then UAE has it all. The rocks add a beautiful reddish tone that can be paired up with beautiful bright or light coloured clothing. Just grab your partner's hand and a camera and soar high!

7. Yas Island, Abu Dhabi

In Abu Dhabi, Yas Island is one of the all time favourites for pre-wedding shoots. Dine alongside the boats at Yas Marina, or sit next to the water front, and let romance bloom.
