February 4, 202120423
In such a large metropolis as Moscow, it is quite difficult to decide on a place for a wedding walk. This article presents an announcement of popular locations with their advantages and disadvantages, which will undoubtedly help you narrow down your search area.
Wedding photo shoot in Moscow - Serebryany Bor
No. 1. Wedding at VDNH
The Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy is located in the north of the capital, a few meters from the metro station of the same name. The construction and arrangement of VDNKh began back in the Soviet era. The embodiment of the ideas of that time can still be seen now. There are such cultural and architectural monuments as: the monument to the Worker and the Collective Farm Woman, the huge obelisk “Conquerors of Space”, the fountain “Friendship of Peoples” and the “Golden Spike”. Of course, VDNKh is now being modernized, but the spirit of socialism still hovers here. And this can be played out competently and stylishly.
It is worth noting that the All-Russian Exhibition Center is not limited to the central part. If you walk further inland, you can find yourself in small parks with picturesque nature and beautiful buildings; here there are smaller pavilions with ivy-covered staircases and columns. There is also access to the water, which makes it possible to diversify your wedding walk.

Wedding Palace at VDNH
Since February 2014, the Wedding Palace has been operating on the territory of VDNH; it is located in a historical building, stylized as a 17th-century mansion. The small white building, located in a picturesque clearing, is an excellent backdrop for photographs; in addition, there are friendly staff and a spacious, bright hall for the ceremony.
Thus, a wedding photo shoot at VDNKh can be successfully combined with marriage registration. In addition, the entire wedding can be held at VDNKh, because in addition to beautiful places for a photo shoot and the possibility of holding a wedding ceremony, you can hold a wedding banquet here. For example, the restaurant “Wedding of the Jays” located at VDNKh is extremely popular among newlyweds, judging by the reviews. You can read more about it here.

- A variety of interesting locations from architectural ensembles to cozy public gardens
- Convenient location
- Possibility of holding a wedding reception in one of the many restaurants on site
Disadvantages of the location:
- Large area, requires a lot of walking

JEAN REMY
A wedding in a beautiful and cozy French town is the cherished dream of many girls. And in order to implement it, it is not at all necessary to leave the Moscow region. In the village of Trouville, the architecture and atmosphere of this romantic country are completely recreated. It is there, on the shore of a picturesque lake, that the Jean Remy restaurant is located. For the wedding ceremony there is a special area near the water and a summer terrace designed for 150 people. There is also a more intimate hall for 40 people.
But there is absolutely nothing in the hall, not even chandeliers and curtains. Therefore, you will have to spend a considerable amount on decorating the space. This circumstance only benefits those who plan to create a unique celebration design. But not at all suitable for couples on a limited budget.

No. 2. Photo session in Neskuchny Garden and Gorky Park
Neskuchny Garden is a park formed from three estates: the Golitsyns, the Trubetskoys and the Demidovs. One of the oldest parks in the city, it occupies a huge territory. Among the architectural monuments here are: the House of Count Orlov, a grotto, and an ancient stone bridge, as well as benches with romantic signs.
Wedding photo shoots in Neskuchny Garden are not as popular as in other Moscow parks, but, nevertheless, it is always very crowded, which makes the process somewhat more complicated. The choice of this place was also successful because in case of bad weather, you can take wedding photos in the covered bridge.

Wedding photo shoot in Gorky Park
Immediately behind the Andreevsky Bridge, Neskuchny Garden smoothly turns into Gorko Park; photo shoots here are also popular among newlyweds in the capital. Beautiful panoramic views, many fountains and access to the embankment - here you can take interesting shots. But do not forget that the park is popular among city residents, so it is always crowded, which certainly makes filming difficult.
St. Andrew's Bridge for wedding photography
The bridge is popularly known as Pushkinsky; it connects the Central Park of Culture with Frunzenskaya Embankment and Khamovniki, and will hospitably host a wedding procession in absolutely any weather.
Modern design and broken lines will create dynamics in the frame, and the cheerful yellow color of metal structures will give a good mood and a charge of positivity. It received its name in honor of the nearby St. Andrew's Monastery.
Photo session in St. Andrew's Bridge
Advantages of the location:

No. 3. Wedding photo shoot at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and on the Patriarchal Bridge
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the adjacent Patriarchal Bridge are one of the most remarkable and beautiful places in Moscow. The history of the construction of the cathedral is truly tragic: it took a long time to build, was rebuilt, and during the Soviet era it was completely blown up, fortunately, in our time the temple was completely restored.
Now rebuilt, it is truly a majestic and spiritual sanctuary. That is why many newlyweds choose the Cathedral of Christ the Savior as the venue for their wedding photo shoot.
Erected in 2004, the Patriarchal Bridge complements the architectural ensemble well. It offers stunning views of the Temple, the Kremlin and the Moscow River. Here you can take excellent panoramic shots.

Advantages of the location:

- Convenient location in the center of the capital
Flaws:

SENESHAL
Here you will find everything you need to organize your dream wedding: stunning views of the mirror lake; beautiful areas for on-site registration; veranda for the Welcome area, luxurious rooms for photo shoots and bridal mornings, designed in Baroque, Rococo, Provence and Postmodern styles. For a gala banquet, the Catherine Hall (110 people) and the Winter Garden (25 people) are provided. There is also a wine library and a fireplace room with antique furniture on the territory.
The residence was created as a unique private estate, so the interiors contain many unique and exquisite details that cannot be found in ordinary hotels. High ceilings and panoramic windows will require appropriate room decor. But you will be able to save on dishes and beautiful textiles - these are available in the halls.
The service at Seneshal is top notch, as is the cuisine. But newlyweds need to carefully read the pricing policy of the establishment in order to avoid additional costs (corkage fee, payment for using an iron, etc.). And a couple more points: fireworks are prohibited on the territory, and getting to the site is quite far.

No. 4. Wedding walk along Red Square
In the very heart of the capital of Russia is the main square of the country - Red Square. Since ancient times, it has occupied an important place in the political and cultural life of the country. There is hardly a person in Russia who has never heard of Red Square. The name means "beautiful", and it really is.
The most important events of the country take place here: parades and demonstrations. Therefore, it is not surprising that on such an important day, newlyweds also prefer to have a wedding walk on Red Square and Vasilyevsky Spusk. This gives the frames a special solemnity and significance.
A photo session on Red Square is an opportunity to take many pictures against the backdrop of historical architectural monuments. Here are located: the Kremlin with its famous towers and the Historical Museum, the GUM building, and, of course, St. Basil's Cathedral. The picturesque, originally Russian, bright and colorful cathedral is an excellent backdrop for pictures.

Kolomenskoye is one of the most beautiful places for wedding photography in the south of the capital; its peculiarity is that it is the oldest estate in Moscow. The unique architectural ensemble of the museum-reserve has evolved over centuries and has absorbed the spirit of different times.
Built in 1532, the Church of the Ascension has been preserved in excellent condition and is a unique architectural monument that has no analogues. That is why it is on the UNESCO cultural heritage list.

What do you associate with a wedding? Beauty, grandeur, luxury... a whole bunch of associations? There is a place in Moscow where all this is embodied in the landscape and architecture. Do you think this doesn't happen? Then welcome to the family estate of the Sheremetyev counts - Kuskovo. The architectural ensemble is truly unique, and the landscape design is striking in its simplicity and unusualness.
Here time has frozen forever in the 18th century, and now we can enjoy this serene beauty. The embodiment of the spirit of French romanticism, the Kuskovo estate is an ideal place for a wedding photo shoot. The pearl of the architectural ensemble is a delightful manor house made of wood, decorated in pink and white tones.

What locations are interesting for a photo shoot in Kuskovo?
During the shooting, you should definitely visit: the Palace, the Grotto, the Italian House, the Great Stone Greenhouse and the ancient church with a bell tower - all of them will be an ideal photo backdrop and decoration for a wedding album.

AGALAROV ESTATE
Just 24 km along the Novorizhskoe highway and you will find yourself in a stunning country complex. Professionals from all over the world have worked for years to create its magnificent landscapes and architecture. On site there is a banquet hall, a hotel with a presidential suite for the bride and rooms for guests. The premises are decorated very beautifully, so you don’t have to worry about the decor. There is also an area for on-site registration, access to the water, a swimming pool and a SPA complex. If you wish, you can spend a second holiday with a barbecue at Agalarov Estate. The service at the estate is excellent, you can make noise until 2 am.
However, the cost of holding a wedding at Agalarov Estate will be quite high. It is also worth noting that fireworks are prohibited on site (but floor fireworks can be used). The restaurant also has low ceilings and rather narrow passages. Therefore, if there is a very large cake at your party, you will have to think in advance about how to bring it into the hall. The venue is also not suitable for too lavish ceremonies - the banquet hall can comfortably accommodate no more than 80 guests, and the hotels only have about 24 rooms. Also, there is no equipment in the hall, and the descent to the water is quite steep and not very convenient.

No. 7. Wedding photo shoot at the Tsaritsyno estate
This is perhaps the largest nature reserve in the capital. Thanks to the beauty of the palace ensemble, it attracts many newlyweds. The construction of this palace and park ensemble took three centuries and was completed recently.
This place has absorbed all the best from the architecture of three centuries: a palace and park ensemble, many bridges and arches, a large park with picturesque alleys and ponds - everything you need for beautiful wedding photography. Both lovers of natural landscapes and connoisseurs of architecture will find interesting locations for a wedding in the Tsaritsyno estate.

Paid places for wedding photo shoots in Moscow
- Arkhangelskoe. Great place, but paid. The price is usually from 3,000 rubles. The downside is that there are a lot of people at the main venues. There is often a queue at the most popular places. But the territory is huge and if you have time and your shoes aren’t too tight, you can arrange a wonderful photo shoot
- The Museum of Retro Cars is not far from the Ploshchad Ilyich metro station; if newlyweds love cars, then it’s a very good place, but for others it’s controversial. Essentially, it’s a hangar with vintage cars.
- Apothecary garden (Small Botanical Garden of Moscow State University)
Moscow and its surroundings are a large and beautiful city, with a very large park infrastructure. Here I have listed only the most popular places, but there are still a bunch of all kinds of places that few people know about, and few people go there. If we work with you, I will definitely help you create a daily plan with detailed timing. There will be options for both rain and good weather. Naturally, there are options for wedding photography in winter and options for a studio wedding photo shoot. Call +7-8-916-597-94-78. Let's arrange a meeting and let's work.

No. 8. Wedding photo shoot at the Korston Hotel
In Moscow there are several restaurants and hotels with beautiful interiors and the possibility of filming, one of them is the Korston Hotel.
Back in the summer of 2010, after a series of significant reconstructions, the former Orlyonok Hotel appeared renovated to its guests, and then for the first time it became possible to conduct a wedding photo shoot in the interiors. At first, Korston practiced the so-called “Brides’ Balls” on Saturdays, during which filming on the premises was free, you just had to get permission in advance.
Wedding at the Korston Hotel
Soon there were too many people wanting to take wedding photos here, and now the hotel has switched to a deposit system. In other words, photography on site is possible only if you pay a deposit, which can be spent on a buffet for guests in one of the hotel restaurants.
Thus, by the way, another important question for newlyweds is resolved: “What should guests do during a photo shoot?”, because in addition to the buffet table, Korston provides them with a whole entertainment program “Visiting Hymen,” including competitions and lotteries with special prizes from the hotel .
Interesting locations for wedding photography in Korston
While the guests are having fun, the newlyweds can go for a photo shoot; fortunately, there are plenty of interesting locations in the hotel. On the ground floor of the hotel there is a bright and spacious Bonjour Cafe restaurant, undoubtedly its main attraction is the chic white grand piano.
Wedding photo shoot in Korston
I still recommend starting your shooting from the Extra Lounge restaurant, conveniently located on the 20th floor of the building. In addition to huge panoramic windows offering views of the capital, there are stylish modern interiors that give scope to the photographer’s imagination.
There are chic red sofas, a stylish bar counter, and cozy tables overlooking the city; you can’t ignore the cozy elevator landing, where you can also take original shots. Of course, sometimes it can get a little dark here, so it’s better for the photographer to stock up on external light sources in advance for better quality pictures.
For a series of photos from the wedding at the Korston Hotel, see the link
Wedding at the Place de Paris
One of my favorite places for a photo shoot in Corston, I would call the chic banquet hall “Place de Paris”, the hall is stylized as an open-air square of the French capital. There are charming arches with columns, many different houses, and, of course, a magnificent stage.
What is especially wonderful about this banquet hall is that each house in the square is not just a decoration, you can go up to it and take pictures inside, because each of them is a small hall with beautiful interiors and crystal chandeliers.
By going up to the second floor landing, you can also take interesting shots overlooking the square itself. Here, the photographer certainly cannot do without external light, because the hall is designed in such a way that there is not a single window in it, and the room itself is quite dark.
By the way, subject to booking a hotel room, a photo shoot is also allowed here, especially since the rooms here also have beautiful interiors and are perfect for photographing the bride and groom getting ready.
Advantages of a wedding photo shoot in Korston
- Lots of interesting locations to shoot
- Location in the heart of the city
- Possibility of shooting in any weather
Flaws:
- Sometimes a hall is closed for a banquet, and filming in it is impossible. However, the staff always goes to meet couples and, if the hall is just preparing for banquets, they are still allowed to take a few shots there.

Note! Since 2021, the hotel has closed and photo shoots are not held there
Places for a wedding photo shoot in Moscow
The main thing is to think through everything in advance: find out if there are parking spaces, agree on a rental (if necessary), and sort out the entrance fee. It is also necessary to go to the place with a photographer a few days before the shooting and think about where exactly you want to take a photo, so as not to waste time on this on the day of the celebration.

Top 7 beautiful places for an outdoor photo shoot
Open spaces for wedding photo sessions are an ideal solution for the warm season. These can be parks and gardens, squares and bridges, city streets and small courtyards, embankments and observation platforms. And all this can be found in Moscow.
Red Square
A wedding photo shoot on Red Square is always relevant. The pictures here turn out to be very solemn, but at the same time romantic. And choosing an interesting background for a shot is not a problem here. These are the advantages. But there are also disadvantages. So, there are always a lot of people on Red Square, even at night. Therefore, sometimes you have to wait a long time to get a good shot. In addition, it is often windy here. And finally, driving up to the square and parking successfully is almost impossible.
Tsaritsyno
This 18th-century palace complex, now an open-air museum-reserve, is an excellent place for colorful, rich photographs. There are luxurious architectural monuments built in pseudo-Gothic style, shady alleys, ponds, and secluded paths. There are also indoor places for a unique wedding photo shoot in a classic style, but more on that below. You can also arrange an outdoor wedding ceremony in Tsaritsyno Park. The disadvantages of the location include a large territory (you need to walk a lot) and a large number of visitors in the warm season.
Sparrow Hills
Gorgeous location with panoramic views of the city. The photos here come out very atmospheric and joyful. Almost all newlyweds in the capital traditionally come to Vorobyovy Gory, so you can often see several couples taking pictures here at once. In addition, parking nearby can be quite difficult.
Neskuchny Garden and Gorky Park
The Neskuchny Garden garden and park complex is the largest in the historical part of Moscow. The atmosphere here is romantic, quiet, there is a lot of greenery everywhere, small ponds, bridges, fountains, flower beds, and there are colorful architectural monuments. St. Andrew's Bridge is also a popular location. It is good to have a wedding photo shoot in this place in spring and summer. The main advantages of shooting in Neskuchny Garden include the fact that it is a free location, which is conveniently located in the center; you can always find a secluded corner here. But among the disadvantages are the vast territory, the need to walk a lot, and the lack of parking.
Sokolniki Park
It is considered a good place for a traditional wedding photo shoot, thanks to its beautiful nature, amazing landscape solutions, and a large number of romantic corners. There are also famous rose gardens here, where you can arrange very delicate and sophisticated photography. For those who want to add dynamism to their wedding photo shoot, Sokolniki Park has several amusement parks. There is only one downside to this location - it will be difficult to park nearby.
Kuzminki Park
This picturesque corner of Moscow with a rich history is an excellent place for a photo shoot. Local ponds, alleys, gazebos and bridges will provide a wonderful backdrop for wedding photos. Here you can take interesting pictures on a boat, on horseback, or in an old carriage. Kuzminki Park is perfect for filming in the warm season, as well as in the fall. The disadvantages of the location include (like other large parks) long distances and the need to walk a lot.
Kolomenskoye
The Kolomenskoye estate is perfect for a classic photo shoot. Shots against the background of a vast apple orchard, near the palace of Alexei Mikhailovich, against the background of wooden fences or on the embankment turn out to be very colorful. On the territory of this park you can also hold an outdoor wedding ceremony and a wedding banquet.
Top 7 private places for a wedding photo shoot
Is your wedding planned for the cold season? Are you afraid that your wedding photo shoot will be ruined by rain or frost? Then it’s worth choosing a closed place for shooting, where unfavorable weather factors will not interfere with taking wonderful pictures.
Hotel Korston
The luxurious interiors of this four-star hotel allow you to arrange a truly unforgettable, chic photo shoot. Shooting here is also convenient because, subject to making a deposit (this is required), a buffet with entertainment can be arranged for the guests of the newlyweds during the photo session. The shooting can be arranged in a restaurant, in a banquet hall, in the lobby.
GUM
An excellent free indoor location for a wedding photo shoot in the very center of the city. There are very beautiful interiors, colorful decor, various places for shooting, good light during the daytime. The only negative is that there are always a lot of people here, which can make work difficult.
Hotel Milan
The chic interiors of this hotel are perfect for a classic wedding photo shoot. Photos are especially colorful and solemn against the backdrop of a luxurious marble staircase with wrought iron railings, in the lobby, or in the restaurant hall.
Tsaritsyn Palace
It is located in Tsaritsyno Park and offers truly royal opportunities for a wedding photo shoot. Here, newlyweds will find gilded interiors in a classic style, luxurious parquet flooring, an abundance of mirrors and other attributes of luxurious palace life. This is a great place to feel like royalty and take gorgeous photos as a souvenir of your wedding. If the weather is good, you can have a photo shoot both outdoors and inside the palace.
Furniture Museum on Taganka
Have you decided to arrange a photo shoot in a noble style? The Taganka Furniture Museum is perfect for this. Here, in 10 spacious rooms, pieces of manor furniture from the 18th to 20th centuries are presented, located in the corresponding interiors. This allows you to practically travel back in time and arrange an unusual, interesting photograph.
Halls of the Izmailovo Kremlin
A photo session in the halls of the Izmailovo Kremlin is usually chosen by those couples who decided to get married here (there is a Wedding Palace on the premises). If you wish and if the weather permits, you can walk around the complex and also take great photos in the fresh air. What is interesting about this location? The interior is richly decorated with unusual carvings and bright paintings, decorative stucco panels and various wooden elements. Here you can conduct a photo shoot in a traditional Russian style or arrange a shoot based on Russian fairy tales. There are several banquet halls inside, each decorated in its own style.
Restaurant Turandot
Many photographers agree that this is one of the most attractive and interesting places for wedding photography. The interiors of the Turandot restaurant are very diverse and you can choose your own special option for any image of the newlyweds. There are luxurious staircases, colorful arches with statues, beautiful balconies, and rooms decorated with skillful carvings and paintings! What else do you need to feel like the heroes of a modern fairy tale on your wedding day? In addition, this restaurant is located in the very center of Moscow, so you can get here without any problems. But because of the great popularity of the location and the large number of people who want to have a photo shoot here, you need to book this place in advance.
Of course, you can find many other bright and unusual places for a photo shoot in Moscow - the main thing is to know in advance what exactly you are looking for.
No. 9. Wedding at the Kuzminki estate
The estate is successfully located in the east of Moscow, well preserved to this day. Most of her buildings - a greenhouse, a barnyard, a stable, a poultry house and other outbuildings, and, most importantly, a courtyard - fit comfortably into the splendor of the local nature - forests and ponds. Some buildings have recently been restored, there are access to the water and you can find interesting angles, this makes the Kuzminki estate a good place for a wedding photo shoot.
In terms of scale, the estate will not be much in competition with Tsaritsyn or Kuskovskaya, but there is no large wedding pilgrimage here even in high season, but there are plenty of vacationers here, especially in the warm season.

No. 11. Wedding at the Dubrovitsy estate
An ideal estate for a wedding in the Moscow region, because there is everything for it.
The estate is located near Podolsk, twenty kilometers from Moscow, on the high bank of the Pakhra River. The owners of the estate were once the princes Golitsyn, and some of the buildings, such as the manor house, a number of outbuildings, stables and the linden park with its alleys, have survived to this day. It is this splendor that will serve as a wonderful backdrop for photos.
Features of a wedding photo shoot at the Dubrovitsy estate
Where is the best place to have a wedding photo shoot in Dubrovitsy?
One of the main buildings that deserves your attention is the Church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which has a history of over three hundred years. The construction began with the permission of the great Russian Emperor Peter I. The church building has long been added to the treasury of world culture due to its uniqueness. It is based on the features of the Baroque style; the building is made of white stone, framed by an open gallery and raised on a plinth.
For the last twenty-five years, the Church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Dubrovitsy has been restored and is functioning; wedding ceremonies can be held there. The manor house was restored a little earlier, and now there is a Wedding Palace here, where you can register relationships.
But that’s not all. The Dubrovitsy estate in general is an excellent place for a wedding, because here you can spend the whole day, not only taking photographs, but also fully welcoming guests, since there is a restaurant on site, which often hosts wedding buffets and banquets.
Disadvantages of a wedding in Dubrovitsy:
In the warm season, it is quite crowded here, due to the fact that after registering a marriage, each couple tries to take several shots on the territory.
No. 12. Leninskie Gorki Estate
10 km from Moscow along the Kashirskoye Highway there is a picturesque place - the Leninskie Gorki estate. No one will remain indifferent to the ancient forest park, which amazes with its splendor.
Two outbuildings and a house, built in a classical style, are the center of the composition. They are located on the edge of a cliff, above the Turovka River. There is a small pond below.
Original photographs can be taken in romantic gazebos, in a stable, on a working dam, in a greenhouse where fruit trees grow, in a magnificent grotto, with a balustrade and in a carriage house.
A wedding photo shoot at the Leninskie Gorki estate is especially good in the warm season, when everything is fragrant. However, you should expect that it will be a short walk to the newlyweds’ estate, as there is no parking near Leninskie Gorki.
Wedding walk around the Leninskie Gorki estate
Advantages of the location:
- Magnificent architecture and picturesque landscapes
- Lots of interesting places to shoot
Flaws:
- Distance from Moscow
No. 13. Ostafyevo Estate
Near Podolsk, south of Moscow, there is the Ostafyevo estate. It is known primarily for the fact that at different times it was visited by great Russian writers, now included in the classics of Russian literature, who were guests of the then owner, Prince Vyazemsky. It was at that time that the now famous “Russian Parnassus” alley was planted in the estate.
In the mid-nineties, the estate acquired the status of a cultural heritage site, in which it successfully operates to this day, under the name “Russian Parnassus” already known to you.
During the photo shoot, you can book a tour for your guests and immerse yourself in a journey through the estate. There are very few people here, so the conditions for a wedding photo shoot in Ostafyevo are more than convenient.

Advantages of the location:

No. 14. Wedding photo shoot in Serednikovo
Not far from the capital there is another magnificent old estate - Serednikovo. There are many beautiful locations for a photo shoot at any time of the year. In addition, the estate is located in the nearest Moscow region, it is convenient to get to it.
Wedding in winter
History of the estate
The village of Serednikovo traces its history back to the 16th century, and the architectural ensemble of the estate in the form in which it is known to us was formed by the end of the 18th century. It was here that the poetic talent of M.Yu. was born. Lermontov, poets, composers and artists often visited here. There really is some kind of extraordinary spirit reigning in the estate; it is very easy and calm here.
Wedding in the interiors of the Serednikovo estate
From a shooting point of view, this is a very beautiful location - a manor house with a gazebo, beautiful wrought-iron gates and access to a linden alley. If you go around the house, on the back side there will be an equally interesting porch with a high staircase that goes down directly to the pond. It is very picturesque here in winter.
Wedding in Serednikovo
Wedding in Serednikovo in winter
In the midst of the winter cold, we filmed a very bright, emotional wedding of Lesha and Natasha. Despite the severe frost, the shooting was fun and dynamic. The wedding photo shoot of Lesha and Natasha took place in the Serednikovo estate, so as not to freeze we alternated between walking and interior, especially since there are very beautiful unusual locations for wedding photography.
We met Lesha and Natasha at the estate; the guys decided not to film the ceremony. They started taking photographs in the linden alley.
Natasha really wanted shots without outerwear, so she took off her fur coat, but due to the extreme cold, she had to wrap herself in a blanket. The guys thought through the style in advance, adding bright red color to the winter landscapes.
Photo session in Serednikovo
To warm up, we went for a photo shoot in the manor house. It is worth noting that the interiors are very cozy with a beautiful grand staircase. On a sunny day you can shoot here with natural light.
After filming in the estate, we went outside again, here the guys had a real adventure planned - a photo shoot with three charming huskies. In general, shooting with animals is a great idea for a photo shoot; such shots always come out very lively and emotional. If you don’t have your own pets, but want such shots, it doesn’t matter, now you can rent an animal for shooting, starting with a simple dog and ending with a fox or raccoon.
Wedding walk with husky
Despite the fact that the strong huskies dropped the guys into a snowdrift several times, the shooting was a lot of fun. In addition, we all managed to warm up by moving in time with the fast dogs. Natasha definitely wanted to take pictures on the stairs that lead to the pond, but unfortunately, we didn’t succeed. Since the steps were swept away and they turned into a slide, we didn’t even immediately realize that this was the same staircase. The shooting ended at dusk with the cutting of a giant cake. This is such an eventful sunny frosty day.
Advantages of the location:
- Magnificent architecture and picturesque landscapes
- Many different locations for photos
- It is possible to shoot both outside and inside the estate
Flaws:
- Long distance, requires a lot of walking
- Distance from the capital center
- There is a fee for filming on site

Wedding photo shoot in Serebryany Bor
Free places for wedding photo shoots in Moscow
Wedding photo shoot on Red Square
Usually there are a lot of people, it’s hot in the summer, cold and windy in winter. Parking lots are far away, the minimum time spent on the street is 50 minutes, you won’t get from the parking lots and back faster. In order to warm up or hide from the rain, go to the toilet - the nearby Gum helps.
Wedding photo shoot in Guma
A good place for small photography in winter. It is imperative that you have a hired car that can drop you off and then come when you call, parking is difficult. I’ll tell you in more detail how photography takes place in gum at the meeting.
- Moskvoretsky Bridge has a good view of the Kremlin, but it blows away in almost any weather. In terms of light, the place is not very good for photography, but it is suitable for those who want to have a photo with the Kremlin for their wedding.
Wedding photo shoot at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior park and bridge near it
The park is a good place for quick photo sessions if the restaurant is in the center and all the roads are clogged with traffic jams. Patriarchal Bridge. A nice postcard view of the Kremlin, but also windy in almost any weather.
Wedding photos on the Bagration Bridge.
The covered bridge is opposite Kutuzovsky Prospekt, and next to Moscow City. It can be a salvation if it suddenly rains. I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip if you don’t have any memories associated with this place. Nearby there is a platform with an excellent view of Moscow City. If you like this kind of architecture, then this is a good place to take good photos.
Wedding boat trip along the Moscow River.
This option is quite suitable for a wedding for two. You can take a couple of stops on the boat, then get off at TsPKO or on Vorobyovy Gory. driving the entire route is long and usually makes no sense.
Park of Culture with carousels, interesting mainly on weekdays, crowded on weekends
But if you know the places, you can make a very interesting photo session. Cons: Difficulty parking, especially for limousines. For small cars, there are convenient and little-known places. Pobeda Park on Poklonnaya Gora - If you are skillful, you can do a good photo shoot there, especially in the back part of the park. A huge minus of this place is the abundance of all kinds of beggars.
Wedding photography on Vorobyovy Gory
– there is a lot of space there, I categorically do not recommend going to the observation deck, there are a lot of beggars, drunken citizens and everything else. But there are very nice and quiet places near the MGU building. I’m always ready to tell you more at a meeting.
Novodevichy Convent.
Nice place, sometimes parking can be difficult. Disadvantages - the surrounding people walk their dogs, so the lawns in the park are not always clean. A wedding walk is only possible near the monastery and near the pond; you are not allowed inside the wedding (if you do not have a wedding planned).
Wedding photography in Vorontsovsky Park.
An excellent place for a photo shoot, you can skillfully photograph everything there and not have to go anywhere else.
Muzeon Park.
The location is good, especially from the embankment and behind the artist’s house.
Boring Garden
It’s a good place if you don’t go by limousine and know the parking spots and the park itself.
Kuskovo.
A good place. minus – very popular, many brides per square meter. However, even on the “red hill” I was able to take pictures without strangers. It's a matter of experience and excellent knowledge of the territory.
Tsaritsyno
A very diverse place in terms of locations. There are many options but it takes time. Don't just walk around the palace and the fountain.
Kolomenskoye
A place with very diverse locations, the main thing is to choose good and comfortable shoes and set aside time for photography.
Kuzminki Park
If you are registering at the 3rd wedding palace, have a large limousine and don’t want to go far, then this is a completely suitable place. But again, I want to remind you that it’s not the location that makes a wedding photo shoot, but the photographer.
Wedding photo shoot in the Alexander Garden and Manezhnaya Square.
The option is a little better than Red Square, because there is no wind, but parking is very difficult. the nearest one is near the Metropol Hotel.
- Luzhkov Bridge and the Tree of Love, and the park on Bolotnaya Square - a lot of people, gypsies and other beggars.
Hermitage Garden.
You just need to follow the event poster and not get caught in the middle of the holiday.
River Station
Or rather a park near the river station. A good place, but now the station itself is under reconstruction and access to the piers is closed, so only a few alleys remain. For those who sign at the Left Bank registry office and do not want to go anywhere, this is a completely convenient place. There is also a friendship park nearby.
Trubetskoy Estate
Lefortovo Park
if you have an event taking place somewhere nearby, then this is a very good place for photography. Their disadvantages are a large area. There is a rotunda near an abandoned pond, and there are endless paths.
Andronnikov Monastery
on the high bank of the Yauza not far from Ilyich Square. Nowadays wedding couples are not allowed into the monastery, but those who want a retro wedding are quite interested in the slope next to the monastery. Opposite there is another place, Shkolnaya Street.
near Shkolnaya street,
with the remains of the appearance of ancient Moscow. The first row of houses remains in the 19th century style. But the abundance of cars usually spoils it. Pros: very convenient access.
Winzavod
for lovers of graffiti and contemporary art
Main Botanical Garden
An excellent place for those who register in the North of Moscow at the Medvedkovsky registry office, Babushkinsky registry office, or at the fourth wedding palace.
Sokolniki Park
Great place for wedding photography. It is of course impossible to go around it all. there are ponds and gardens, and carousels, so choose what is closest to you and you can go. There are both paid and free places for photography on the territory.
In Zelenograd
For a wedding walk, newlyweds traditionally go to Serednyakovo, less often to Istra, and Arkhangelskoye. In addition, in Zelenograd, great photography can be done in the Birch Grove and near the lake in 10 microdistrict, in the forested area near 11, 12 and 5 microdistrict.
No. 15. Wedding in Serebryany Bor
This is one of the most picturesque and large parks in Moscow, there are a lot of different beautiful locations: forest, lakes, with numerous wooden bridges and gazebos, beaches and an incredibly beautiful pine forest with centuries-old trees growing on the sand.
The park is conveniently located in the North-West of Moscow, not far from the center; to get beautiful wedding photos in the forest, you don’t need to travel far or even go outside the Moscow Ring Road.
What do you need to consider when choosing a wedding photo shoot in Serebryany Bor?
- You need to allow at least 2 hours for a walk here, since the length of the park is very large; you will need a lot of time to get around several interesting locations. Another factor is that you cannot enter the park by car, so you need to allow an extra 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the location and back to the parking lot.
- Keep in mind in advance that you will have to walk a lot, a lot, and since there are not paved paths everywhere in the park (very often these are just well-trodden paths), it is better to provide comfortable shoes. Even if you have beautiful dress shoes, leave them for the ceremony, gathering and banquet, and change into a comfortable pair of shoes in the park. It is better to wear sneakers or sneakers, since we will go to the beach, go out onto the grass and paths, and sand will be poured into more open shoes.
- Take drinking water with you to your photo shoot, especially in summer. Serebryany Bor is a fairly wild park (this is its charm), there are no water kiosks or ice cream vendors, and during a photo shoot you may get tired and want to drink.
Symbolic exit registration in Serebryany Bor
Is it possible to hold the entire wedding in Serebryany Bor?
Yes, this is quite possible. The Khoroshevsky civil registry office is located very close to the park, and it is also convenient to get here from other registry offices located in the center of Moscow.
If you want an on-site marriage registration, it is also possible to carry it out in Serebryany Bor; starting from 2021, on the territory of the park you can carry out an official on-site registration in the Serebryany Bor mansion; the application must be submitted at the same Khoroshevsky registry office.
You can also hold a symbolic ceremony in any location within the park.
In the warm season, you can organize a banquet here in one of the tents on the shore; there are also restaurants and houses for rent in the park.
Advantages of a wedding in Serebryany Bor:
- Convenient location
- Large territory - many locations for photos
- You can spend your entire wedding here
Flaws
- You need to budget at least 2 hours for filming here, as you will have to walk a lot; if time is limited, this option will not work
- There is nowhere to hide in case of bad weather, since all locations for a photo shoot in Serebryany Bor are open
Of course, the final decision on choosing a location is always yours, but for me Serebryany Bor is one of my favorite places for a photo shoot in Moscow; it is not only beautiful here, but also has a lot of room for creativity.

The most beautiful places for a wedding in Moscow and the Moscow region
I am often asked to recommend the most beautiful places for a wedding in Moscow and the Moscow region . I recommend choosing a location so that it is ideal for three things: beautiful for the bride's morning, for the outdoor ceremony and for the banquet itself.
It is also very important to choose a place that will give you the opportunity to get rid of the hassle of moving. Otherwise, moving will greatly tire you out. And it’s not entirely right to spend precious minutes of your wedding day going on rides. Therefore, a beautiful wedding location simply “must” have chic nature and interior that will give you the opportunity to have a photo shoot, take a walk and enjoy each other’s company in a magical atmosphere.
If you want space and truly decent places, then you should turn your attention to the Moscow region.

No. 16. Wedding photo shoot in the Apothecary Garden (Botanical Garden of Moscow State University)
The garden is very conveniently located in the city center, on Mira Avenue, this is its main advantage, since there are not many locations for shooting in the center.
The park itself is very compact, you can get around it and gain material in about an hour and a half, so if you are limited on time, this is a good option.
There are a lot of exotic plants here; in the warm season, something is almost always in bloom. The greenhouse website has a section “What’s in bloom now,” which contains up-to-date information. Despite the fact that the garden is very compact, the background here is very diverse, the shots are very interesting.
In addition to the open-air park area, on the territory of the Apothecary Garden there are indoor greenhouses: Palm, Subtropical and Succulent, you can also take pictures in them. Yes, it is not as spacious as in the Stock Greenhouse, but there is still something to see. In addition, if the weather suddenly deteriorates, you do not have to go to another place, you just need to go to the greenhouse.

Filming on site, as well as entrance, are paid. In 2021, the cost of an entrance ticket per person is 300 rubles, the cost of a wedding photo shoot is 3,000 rubles. at one o'clock. The website lists the cost per hour, but no one records the time, so, as a rule, we shoot a little longer.

No. 17. Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences named after. Tsitsyn
Not far from the center of the capital, the Central Botanical Garden is located - one of the largest such gardens in Europe; here you can find plants that are amazing for the capital.
For those who want an outdoor photo shoot, this is a great option, as there are many locations for shooting. There is almost no architecture on the territory of the park; the only building here is a laboratory building, so it makes sense to enter the park from the central entrance, which is located nearby.
Laboratory building of the botanical garden
TOP 3 interesting places for a photo shoot in the Botanical Garden
Laboratory building and pond
The laboratory building itself is a large-scale brick building with columns, built during the Stalinist period. On both sides of the porch there are also columns shrouded in ivy; there is almost always shade there, so even on sunny days you can take good pictures.
The building is adjacent to a large pond with ducks and seagulls; you can also take pictures against it. Also on the back side of the pond there is an iron fence on which the newlyweds hang locks.
Old stock greenhouse
This is an ideal place to shoot in rain or cool weather if you want to photograph with nature as a backdrop. It’s also the largest indoor greenhouse in Europe, so even when it’s crowded, there’s still plenty of room to take photos.
It is worth considering that it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the greenhouse from the main entrance to the Botanical Garden, so there is no point in driving straight to the other entrance.
Japanese garden
One of the most interesting outdoor exhibitions of the Central Botanical Garden is the Japanese Garden, which is especially beautiful here in the spring, when the sakura blossoms. The landscape design of the garden is in the classic Japanese style, there are small bridges and a rock garden, and the trees are brought from Japan.
The garden itself is located at a decent distance from the main entrance, this must be taken into account when planning the route.
