Why Udaipur Is the Perfect City for an Anniversary Photoshoot

When couples ask us where in India they should celebrate their anniversary through photography, our answer is almost always the same: Udaipur. Having photographed over 400 anniversary sessions across Rajasthan, we’ve seen first-hand how this city transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary images.

The City of Lakes offers a rare combination — ancient palaces that glow amber at dusk, still lake reflections that double every frame, vibrant bazaars full of colour, and a landscape that shifts from desert to lush ghats within minutes. Whether you’re celebrating your first anniversary or your twenty-fifth, Udaipur provides a backdrop that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in India.

In this guide, we share the exact locations we use for our clients, the timing secrets that make the difference between a good shoot and an extraordinary one, and the practical tips we’ve learned from hundreds of real anniversary sessions.

“The best anniversary photographs aren’t posed — they’re stolen moments. And Udaipur gives you so many places to steal them.”

Our 7 Best Locations for Anniversary Photoshoots in Udaipur

These are the locations we return to again and again — not because they’re the most famous, but because we know exactly how the light falls, which angles work, and what time of day brings out the magic. Every location listed here has been personally scouted and tested across multiple shoots.

01

Most Popular

Lake Pichola & Jag Mandir

The still waters at sunrise create mirror reflections that make every frame look like a painting. Boat sessions during golden hour are our personal favourite for anniversary couples.

02

Heritage Pick

City Palace Ghats

The steps and archways of the City Palace offer incredible architectural framing. The play of light through Rajput pillars between 7–9 AM is unmatched for soft, dramatic portraits.

03

Romantic Sunset

Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace)

The hilltop location above the city gives panoramic views and a dramatic sky backdrop. Best shot 45 minutes before sunset. The drive up also gives you incredible forest-road portrait stops.

04

Hidden Gem

Bagore Ki Haveli Ghats

Less crowded than City Palace, the old haveli’s ghats and narrow lanes provide an intimate, authentic Udaipur setting. Ideal for candid, storytelling-style anniversary sessions.

05

Colourful & Vibrant

Fateh Sagar Lake

The promenade walk, boat rides, and the small Nehru Island in the middle offer a relaxed, cheerful backdrop — perfect for couples who want a more playful anniversary session.

06

Rustic & Raw

Shilpgram Craft Village

Traditional Rajasthani mud-wall structures, vibrant folk colours, and terracotta textures make this a standout location for couples wanting something visually distinct and less touristy.

Pro tip from our team: The most cinematic anniversary shoots we’ve done in Udaipur combine two locations — one lakeside (early morning) and one heritage architectural spot (evening golden hour). The contrast in mood and colour palette gives the final gallery incredible variety.

When to Book Your Anniversary Photoshoot in Udaipur

The Ideal Season: October to March

From our experience photographing across all seasons in Udaipur, the October–March window is consistently the best. Temperatures stay between 18°C and 28°C, the skies are clear, and the light during this period has a particular warmth that simply photographs beautifully. Lake levels are also at their best after the monsoon, which means richer reflections and greener surroundings.

The Golden Hours

If you ask any WedClick photographer their single most important tip, it’s this: plan around the light, not just the location. The golden hour in Udaipur — roughly 6:30–8:00 AM and 5:30–7:00 PM — produces a soft, warm, almost cinematic quality of light that no studio setup can replicate. We always schedule anniversary sessions to capture at least one of these windows.

Dates to Avoid

Peak summer (May–June) sees temperatures above 40°C, which is challenging for both the couple and the photography equipment. We also advise booking early around Diwali and peak wedding season (November–February) as our calendar fills up months in advance during these periods.

What Makes a Great Anniversary Photoshoot: Our Expert Tips

01
Wear outfits that contrast gently with the location. At Lake Pichola, deep jewel tones (navy, burgundy, emerald) photograph beautifully. At heritage locations, ivory, cream, and pastel peach work wonderfully. We’ll guide you based on your confirmed locations.
02
Bring a meaningful prop — or don’t bring any at all. We’ve seen beautiful anniversary shoots with nothing but the couple and the landscape. If you want a prop, make it personal: a framed photo from your wedding day, a favourite book, a small bouquet from a local flower market.
03
Trust candid moments over posed ones. The images that make couples cry when they see them are almost never the posed ones. We use a conversational, relaxed approach — we’ll ask you to walk, laugh, whisper, or simply look at each other — and capture what happens naturally.
04
Budget 2–3 hours minimum for a proper session. A rushed shoot rarely produces the best images. Give yourself time to settle into the camera, explore the location, and change outfits if you’ve planned two looks. Most of our anniversary sessions run 2.5 to 3 hours.
05
Book your permit locations in advance. Some heritage sites in Udaipur require photography passes. We handle all of this for our clients as part of the shoot planning — it’s one less thing for you to worry about on the day.

We booked WedClick for our 5th anniversary and honestly had no idea what to expect. They took us to spots we’d never have found ourselves — a small ghat near Bagore Ki Haveli just as the light was turning golden. The photos were beyond anything we imagined. These are the images we’ll pass on to our children one day.

Anniversary Shoot Ideas by Milestone

First Anniversary — Fresh & Playful

For first anniversaries, we love shoots that capture joy and spontaneity. Fateh Sagar’s promenade, the colourful lanes near the old city, and a boat session on Lake Pichola work beautifully. This is a celebration of the beginning — keep the energy light and fun.

Fifth & Tenth Anniversary — Romantic & Reflective

By this milestone, couples have a deeper comfort with each other that shows on camera in wonderful ways. We recommend heritage locations — City Palace ghats, Jag Mandir, Bagore Ki Haveli — where the weight and beauty of the architecture mirrors the depth of the relationship. Sunrise sessions work particularly well here.

Silver & Golden Jubilee — Grand & Celebratory

For 25th and 50th anniversaries, we design full-day shoots that often include family, traditional outfits, and multiple iconic locations. These sessions become treasured family heirlooms. If you’re planning a significant milestone, contact us early so we can design something truly special.


October to March is our recommended window. Pleasant temperatures (18–28°C), clear skies, and full lakes create ideal conditions. Sunrise and sunset sessions during this period produce particularly beautiful light.

Our anniversary packages begin at ₹8,000 and vary based on session length, number of locations, and deliverables. We customise every package — visit our Get a Quote page or WhatsApp us for a tailored estimate.

Some heritage locations, including City Palace areas, require photography passes. WedClick handles all necessary permissions as part of the shoot planning process — our clients never have to deal with permit logistics themselves.

Absolutely — many of our anniversary clients travel from Jaipur, Mumbai, Delhi, and internationally to shoot in Udaipur. We assist with shoot-day planning, location timing, and can coordinate with your travel itinerary to make the session seamless.

A 2.5–3 hour anniversary session typically delivers 80–150 professionally edited photographs depending on the locations and how many looks you shoot. We deliver a private online gallery within 7–10 working days.
