Looking to immortalise your engagement experience with a shoot that will last a lifetime? Here are 10 inspirational locations around the islands that will make beautiful backdrops for your engagement photos.
1. Gnejna
Located on the west coast of Malta, Gnejna Bay’s rugged surrounding countryside is equal parts pretty and dramatic.
2. Ghajn Tuffieha
Further up north is the picturesque Ghajn Tuffieha – that view from the top of the stairs alone is pretty breath-taking.
3. Buskett
Head over to Malta’s oldest garden, which provides large green areas with beautiful trees and flowers, perfect for a bucolic background.
4. Manoel Island
Want stunning views of Valletta? Manoel Island is your spot, which offers an unparalleled cityscape view of the capital.
5. Golden Bay
Adjacent to Ghajn Tuffieha is Golden Bay, most famous for its golden sands. Consider a shoot on the beach here, or head up to the top of the hill for photos with views of the beach below.
6. Upper Barrakka Gardens
Whether during day or night, your photographer can capture beautiful shots of you and your beau with panoramic views of the Grand Harbour in this incredible location.
7. Red Tower
The Red Tower in Mellieha provides a romantic backdrop for engagement photos, and offers the best of both worlds: views of the Mediterranean on one side and Mellieha bay on the other.
8. Sannat, Gozo
A quaint village in the south of Malta’s sister isle, Sannat in Gozo is popular for its high cliffs, ancient cart ruts, temples and dolmens, so there are plenty of areas to experiment with here!
9. Valletta Old Town
The backstreets of the capital city have so much to offer! Simply wander through one narrow street after another with your partner in crime and photographer, and good luck choosing your best shots at the end of it.
10. Dingli Cliffs
With gorgeous panoramic sea views of the island of Filfla, Dingli Cliffs create the perfect setting for a relaxed pre-wedding photo shoot for you and your beau to enjoy.
