For romantic travelers The Taipa Houses-Museum, which is made up of five buildings with an emerald and white color scheme,

adds an exotic flair and Portuguese flavor to your photos. Complemented by a tranquil lake, the museum is a perfect wedding photography spot for the nostalgics.

You don’t need to fly all the way to Venice for blissful photos of you and your spouse on a gondola ride down the world-famous Grand Canal. At The Venetian Macao, not only can you get the gondola experience, you can also have stunning photos taken at the outdoor plaza with the hotel’s gorgeous Gothic exterior as the backdrop.

As the city’s first theme park, the Macao Fisherman’s Wharf takes you around the world with the variety of backdrops it offers, such as its architecture built in the style of Cape Town and Amsterdam, as well as the Roman Amphitheatre.For history buffs

Situated at the highest point of the Macao Peninsula, the Guia Lighthouse, a white tower body outlined with bright yellow that is known for its historical charm, is an excellent spot to celebrate the marriage of a couple. Just next to the lighthouse is the Guia Chapel, a 17th century Portuguese chapel that exudes true continental elegance.

Appearing in many films and dramas, the Rua da Felicidade, also known as the Happiness Street, is lined by numerous two-storey traditional Chinese buildings. Built with traditional grey bricks and decorated with red adornments, the location adds Chinese nostalgia to your wedding pictures.

With Portuguese buildings that are reminiscent of the colonial period, the Bairro de São Lázaro exudes a charming ambience. Our recommendation is to have your wedding shoot

here at night, so you can capture the beauty of the Portuguese tiles and European street lights.

For chic fashionistasFor the adrenaline junkies out there, the 338-m Macao

Tower, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks which offers the Skywalk and Tandem SkyJump, is an exhilarating spot for your wedding photography.

When in Macao, many love birds will take the opportunity to take photos with and exchange vows at the huge heart-shaped tree in the Macao Science Centre. Don’t forget to head outside for

some outdoor shots too, as you can have the Macao Tower and Macao Peninsula as

your backdrop.
