The pre-wedding shoot trend is not going to die anytime soon. It’s great how you can document yourself with the love of your life before marriage, in the prime of your life, with young radiant faces and excited smiles. Gleeing couples on social media with their heartthrobs hand-in-hand make our hearts skip a beat. Be it the stunning outdoor locations, or the perky backdrops, we keep imagining our perfect photo-shoot when our time comes. The problem however arises when we actually start looking for such destinations ourselves. Packing our bags and travelling sounds great, but having to pack a ton of dresses, makeup, and paying the travel and living cost of the photographer will definitely hint towards a high strung budget!
If you are researching on a perfect place to have your pre-wedding, one stunning location among others is Gulawat, which is a lotus valley in Indore. With a beautiful backdrop of lotuses, the valley, and places around it with a heavy green belt are amazing locations to travel to for getting yourself clicked. With a freshwater lake flowing alongside, this can be a perfect spot to get yourselves clicked. You can hop on a boat, sit among the flowers, or tread in the nearby forest for a dreamy photoshoot.
Let’s take you quickly through this beautiful place, how to reach, and what to do.
Gulawat is 25 kms from Indore, and can be easily reached by road. A self-forested area, it is surrounded by eucalyptus and bamboo trees, this huge forest has water coming in from the Yashwant sagar dam. Now, let’s take you through different ways you can use Gulawat’s raw beauty to add an exotic destination vibe to your pre-wedding shoot!
