As the wedding day approaches, brides and grooms-to-be seek that striking, yet familiar, ambience which sets their nuptials apart from the rest. Depending on the individual tastes and preferences, from modern to the traditional, Macau offers an array of venues that can act as a backdrop for photographs.
Whether your dress is creme chiffon or bold chartreuse, staging wedding photos in most places in the enclave require no fees, and locations are painless to find.
The Dom Pedro V Theatre ranks near the top of the list of places ideal for photographs on the Macau peninsula. The olive green stucco facade of this structure, which dates back to the 1800s, is a marvel to behold.
As one of the oldest theatres in China, Dom Pedro is a reminder of a bygone era as the backdrop for timeless memories. Virtually every side of the theatre is worthy of note but the most renowned is the front entrance with its three-domed archways and neo-classical columns plastered in stark white and olive green.
Bordered on all sides by cobblestone streets, Dom Pedro is stunning in daytime brilliance but is even more resonant in the late afternoon as the sun begins to fade.
Although it is a part of Macau's Unesco World Heritage site, the theatre is an active centre for classical music concerts, and it is highly recommended that you seek permission from either the Macau Government Tourist Office or the government's Cultural Affairs Bureau for use of the inside of the building for wedding photos.
