When it comes to Iceland as a setting of your wedding photo session it’s difficult to decide upon only one, specific spot. This country has a mysterious feeling to it, with whites and grays in majority, monumental nature, rocks, rocky beaches, rough sea, waterfalls as well as volcanos... and glaciers. It's a country full of  contradictions, which can be a real paradise for fans of wild nature.

The Amaltifan Coast is on the UNESCO heritage list and is one of the most picturesque places in Europe. It's famous for its mediterrenean climate and mountainous views with beautiful houses cascading down steep slopes which makes them look like they were glued onto the cliffs. It's no surprise that this region attracts millions of tourists each year. It's also an ideal place for organizing a wedding photo session. For newlyweds, we especially recommend two towns – Amalfi which is most famous for its shiny, white houses, located on a hill with a view of the sea and surrounded by a plantation of citruses, and Positano with picturesque colourful houses located on steep rocks. Photos taken in both of these places will look amazing. Tip: It's best to travel to the Amaltifan Coast outside of the high season. :)

#9 Violet fields of lavender – Provance, France

Another idea for a photo session on the bosom of nature? Violet fields of lavender. And if we're speaking of lavender, then only about the one from Provance. Before going there, however, remember that lavender blooms in violet only for about less then a month - from the second half of June till the second half of July. It would be best to plan ahead. Valensole and its surroundings is the place which we reccommend the most. it's full of big and small lavender plantations, lavender oil manufacturers, souvenirs and there's also the museum of lavender there. Provance is a place that offers lots of charm and romance - it's ideal for a wedding photo session. If you're not taken by fields of lavender then you might consider a session in the field of sunflowers or crocuses which you'll find in other parts of Europe. The most important part is the colour that you want to have in your photos in the background.
