How about a pre-wedding photography in Parc De La Ciutadella, Spain?

Over the years, wedding planners and photographers have been introducing various creative ideas in making pre-wedding photography fun, interesting, and most importantly, a memorable one. It is no longer a pose and shoot affair but all the sessions come with story boards and cheeky gimmicks!

The recent wedding dinners had given me an idea what you could do in Parc De La Ciutadella, a mid 19th century Catalonian Park in Barcelona.

Exactly, pre-wedding photos!

The Cascada Fountain in Parc De La Ciutadella reminded me of Trevi Fountain in Rome. Apparently, the Cascada didn't have any meticulous sculptures initially. It was amended later, after receiving some criticism.
The fountain was constructed by Josep Fontsére with some contribution from the then unknown architecture student who turned into a renowned architecture of Spain - Gaudi.

Fontsére wanted Cascada to have slight resemblance of the Trevi in Rome.
Well, it did. Yet, it is beautiful in its own unique way.

When I revisited these photos, a sudden crazy idea trespassed my mind. Wouldn't it be cool if a simple wedding ceremony is held here too? Imagine the bride is waiting at the upper tier of the fountain facade while the groom walks up to her.

I know, the norm is the other way around. But aren't we always trying to be different, to be special on our weddings?

And finally, if you wish, you can give a wild African touch to the photographs. There is a monumental elephant right in the park at your service ;)

Apart from the glorious fountain, the northeastern edge of the old town where Parc De La Ciutadella is located, is also home to the famous zoo.

Perhaps, not a pretty idea for pre-wedding pictures' theme. However, certainly a brilliant idea to keep your little ones entertained. It has about 7000 animals, except the albino gorilla Snowflake, who had sadly left the zoo's family in 2004.

Ciutadella is huge but you will not realise it if you stroll the park hand in hand with the love of your life.
