From misty mornings by the Hooghly River to cozy café dates in Park Street, monsoon pre-wedding photography in Kolkata is everything but basic.
And guess what? At Kolkata Wedding Photographers, we’ve captured love stories that look like they’ve walked straight out of a Netflix romance drama.
Top Monsoon Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Ideas in Kolkata
1. Rain-Kissed Romance at Princep Ghat
Imagine you and your partner in soft pastel outfits with the iconic colonial pillars behind and light rain creating a natural mist—dreamy, right? This location is a total classic and looks ethereal in overcast weather.
Pro Tip: Use a transparent umbrella to keep the vibe romantic and the rain visible.
2. Maidan’s Misty Fields & Yellow Taxi Moments
The vast green of Maidan, the iconic yellow taxis, and a splash of puddles create an adorable chaotic vibe. Be playful—run across wet grass, dance under light drizzle, or share a chai stall moment.
Outfit Vibe: Earthy tones, sarees for her, suspenders for him!
3. Coffee & Cuddles in a Park Street Café
Take the shoot indoors for a bit with a cozy café session in Park Street. Window seat, a warm latte, stolen kisses, and rain outside? That’s reel AND real love goals.
Frame Idea: Foggy glass, your initials written with a heart, blurred kisses behind it.
4. Heritage Romance at Kumartuli
Kumartuli in the monsoon is photogenic in ways you wouldn’t expect. Narrow alleys, wet bricks, artists at work, and old Kolkata charm make for aesthetic editorial shots that scream culture meets love.
Add a vintage umbrella and ethnic wear for a timeless look.
5. Terrace Love Story with Fairy Lights
Rain is pouring, the sky is dramatic, and you’re dancing together on your own terrace. Sounds like a music video, doesn’t it? We’ll bring in fairy lights, candles, and props to give it a magical twist.
