Best Pre-wedding Photography Spots In Taipei

Up north of Taiwan, near the very edge of the island, lies its capital, Taipei. Considered an economic and cultural centre, it comes as no surprise that it combines the best of both worlds when it comes to pre-wedding photography backdrops: leafy forests and stone buildings, natural and historical, golden sunshine and bright city lights.

Together with TaipeiRoyalWed, — a company which specialises in gown rentals and photography among other services — we have gathered 10 of the best places for pre-wedding photography and exactly why they belong on this list.

1. Lengshueikeng, Mt. Yangming (陽明山 - 冷水坑)

A picture-perfect view. With a wide blue lake, suspended bridge, and sprawling grass fields, Lengshueikeng makes you feel as though you're in a forest, but without the creepy Grimm Brothers' vibe. The cloud-flecked sapphire sky further cements its fairytale atmosphere. During autumn and winter months, the field turns from green to a beautiful ethereal silver. Newlyweds who want to get married in a meadow of silver can make a visit here between October to December. 

2. Lin An Tai Mansion (台灣傳統建築：林安泰古厝)

Lin An Tai Mansion is one of Taiwan's best-known historical structures. Merely walking through its panelled hallways is like going back in time. Couples that favour a historic theme with a dash of Eastern tradition in their pre-wedding pictures should book this gorgeous manor. 

3. ZhenAiTaoHuaYuan, Mt. Yangming (真愛桃花源婚紗攝影基地)

This gorgeous place combines the natural beauty of Mt. Yangming with the elegance of man-made structures. Spanning across 7000 square meters, the place comes with meadows of flowers, a small forest, a church, and a lake for your photography pleasure. There are also lots of indoor studios scattered throughout, each with their own style and colour palette. Your wedding album will be diverse and beautiful.

4. Shalun Beach, Tamsui (沙崙海水浴場)

Sea views have long since been a favoured backdrop. And who can blame couples? The foam splashing at your ankles, strolling on the beach with a gorgeous sunset behind you—make for some pretty romantic shots.

5. Floriculture Experiment Center, Mt. Yangming (陽明山 - 花卉試驗中心)

In comparison with Lengshuikeng, the trees at the Floriculture Experiment Center are taller and bigger, giving it a more forest-like atmosphere. A few trees have fallen over due to storms in the past and they make for a beautiful, imposing photo-op. The sunlight streaming through the leaves will add an extra layer of innocence and ethereality for white-clad brides.

6. NanYa Wonderful Rock, Jiufen (九份 - 南雅奇岩)

On Taiwan's northeast coast rests an enormous boulder that, through the centuries and elements, has been weathered into a piece of art. Taking your pre-wedding photos here is like leaving a note that declares, "May our love be like this stone. Let the winds of time, waves of hardship weather us, accumulating into beautiful, mysterious scars that will one day become one of nature's most magnificent sights."

7. Buyen Pavilion, Jiufen (九份 - 不厭亭)

Not far from Buyen Pavilion is Taiwan's most scenic highway: Ruishaung Road. Highly favoured by advertisers and fellow wedding couples, it even features traces of Taiwan's early development. Pre-wedding photos taken here will be infused with history and mystery. 

8. Tamsui Manor (淡水莊園婚紗攝影基地)

The Tamsui Manor spans over ten thousand square meters and features ocean-themed chapels, gothic churches, Mediterranean architecture, and all kinds of indoor sets with different cultural influences. Regardless of what theme you prefer, this manor is sure to have it. 

9. Datun Manor (大屯莊園婚紗攝影基地)

Located at the foot of Datun Mountain, this mansion is a striking combination of wilderness beauty and elegant architecture. The romantic European overtones ties in the rolling fields, flowerbeds, and lakes as well as the range of indoor studios. You'll feel like you're actually in Europe, breathing the rich history and culture of the country that birthed the Renaissance.

10. Tatung University(大同大學)

Tatung University's splendid white European buildings have turned into a hotspot for pre-wedding photos. It's practically a mini-Europe. Other than the majestic main structure, it boasts Roman-style corridors, fountains, and other constructions. White Western gowns or crimson Chinese robes would look great here.
