Hi 👋🏽 ,

I've been shooting pre wedding and destination weddings across Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh for over 8 years - mostly in Udaipur's palace courtyards, Jaipur's forts, and up in Manali when couples want snow instead of sand. No two shoots look the same, because no two couples pose the same way, and I'd rather work with that than fight it. If you want a pre wedding shoot that looks like your actual relationship - not a stock template with your faces swapped in - that's the kind of work I do.

For couples who want a pre wedding shoot that feels natural, timeless, and full of emotion.

Destinations

Top Pre Wedding Shoot Destinations in Rajasthan & Himachal Pradesh

Where you shoot changes the whole feel of the album. Here's where I take couples most often, and why.

Mount Abu

Mount Abu

Nakki Lake and the Aravalli hills give a cooler, greener backdrop than most of Rajasthan. Good pick if you want mountains without leaving the state.

Jaipur

Jaipur

Hawa Mahal, Amer Fort, and the old city lanes for couples who want that unmistakable pink-city royal look.

Udaipur

Udaipur

Lake Pichola at sunrise, City Palace in the afternoon light. Still the most requested pre wedding shoot destination in Rajasthan, and for good reason.

Split Trip - Rajasthan + Manali

Split Trip - Rajasthan + Manali

A growing number of couples book two locations in one trip: royal architecture in Udaipur or Jaipur, then snow and pine forests in Manali or Old Manali. I plan the route and timing so it doesn't feel rushed.

Common Queries

Pre Wedding Shoot FAQs - Rakesh Photography

Q1:How much does a pre wedding shoot cost in Rajasthan or Manali?
Packages usually start around ₹25,000–₹30,000 for a single-location shoot and go up based on number of days, locations, and whether you want a cinematic film included. I'll send an exact quote once I know your dates and locations.
Q2: What is the best time of year for a pre wedding shoot in Rajasthan?
October to March - the heat drops enough to shoot comfortably through the afternoon, and the light stays soft into the evening.
Q3: What is the best season for a pre wedding shoot in Manali?
Winter (December–February) if you want snow, summer (April–June) for green valleys and clearer mountain views. Monsoon months are riskier for outdoor shoots.
Q4: Do I need permits for locations like City Palace Udaipur or Rohtang Pass?
Some heritage and forest sites do need permission. I handle the paperwork for locations that require it, so you don't have to chase it yourself.
Q5:Can you shoot both Rajasthan and Manali in one trip?
Yes - this is one of the most requested combinations. I build the itinerary so travel days don't eat into shoot days.
Q6: How many outfits should we bring for a pre wedding shoot?
Two to three is usually enough for one location — one traditional, one contemporary, and one that suits the specific backdrop (snow gear for Manali, flowing fabric for lake or fort locations).
