A wedding is an auspicious moment in everyone’s life, and I believe choosing a casual banquet or a big garden is cliché nowadays.
As a landscape photographer for many big travel firms, my first advice for couples planning their marriage is to consider beautiful destinations around the world.
Surprisingly, 19% of couples selected a destination wedding, and the number of couples selecting destination weddings is growing.
In this article, I’ll offer some of the best suggestions for this, according to everyone’s preferences.
Let’s get started!
The Middle East Is Calling
You cannot deny the fact that luxury is a major concern for many people when planning their marriage destination.
I seriously love resorts and flourishing palaces when it comes to craving celebration, and if you are like me, then Middle Eastern countries are the perfect pick for you.
These states offer you a variety of exclusive experiences, like personalized theme weddings in seven-star hotels and entry of grooms in premium rented sports cars.
Now I’m going to provide a list of some of these resorts that you must consider.

Iceland: Love Among the Volcanoes
Now, this place is for those people who are planning to celebrate their love in the cold sky filled with northern lights and surrounded by big, hot volcanoes. Then Iceland is calling you.
My bucket list says that couples who adore natural harmony and the essence of exclusive weather beauties will adore this place till the last breath.
This destination also offers some exclusive benefits, like resorts and hotels that provide amazing panoramic views at sunrise and sunset.
Now for the recommendation part, here are my top picks
Kirkjufell Mountain: also popularly known as “Church Mountain,” is a zone stuffed with iconic hilltops and waterfall paradises. Some scene footage of the show “Game of Thrones” has been shot there.
Arnarstapi Stone Bridge: This is a natural bridge that was formed over the years and is located near the village of Hellnar. You can enjoy a beautiful rigged coastline and huge basalt caves.
Budir Black Church: It is a historical place that was built in 1848, and it’s still operational for tourists to experience the cozy aesthetics of the place. This small sacred place can be perfect for capturing memories.

Believe It or Not, Portland, Oregon
In my opinion, exclusivity with premium aesthetics shines the brightest in the Portland, OR city. Numerous hotels and palaces located here can be perfect options for a wedding venue.
They are all filled with luxury and auspiciousness at very affordable prices compared to others on the list. The other name of this city is considered the “City of Roses” because of the streets surrounded by rose gardens, and that’s the reason it is a dream location for many couples.

A Wedding Cruise
If you have a spark of adventure that ignites every day, then you should glance at your views on checking out weddings on the cruise. This is the latest trend that is emerging as the next big thing around the globe.
According to me, people having no financial constraints can prefer this luxury because you can celebrate this one in a lifetime between the eye-pleasing views and cozy weather of the sea.
While planning a cruise marriage in another city, make sure to follow these instructions:
Decide the location according to your preference and whether it is sustainable.
Arrange the cruise destination as per your schedules, for example, 2 weeks or 4 days.
Book the ship size according to your guest because big ships cost way more than small ones.
Choose amenities like personalized wedding themes and color palettes of cruise walls.
