Amy Steed talks about going on a romantic voyage around the free flowing colors of the waterfalls using long exposure of the camera.

The green moss and foliage coupled with the rocks gently breaking the flow of the water will add a surreal effect to the photos on a wedding day - Simply Fascinating.

Capturing Smooth waterfalls is not that difficult a task, but one may need to work with long exposures, really long ones. When planning wedding near a waterfall, it is advisable to choose a cloudy day with the help of weather forecast.

The Method:

You should choose a shutter speed between 2 - 1/0 sec. A natural density filter is compulsory so as to prevent excess light from entering the camera. Plus a lot of pre planning will be required to select a suitable location for the perfect shot at the perfect wedding.

It is impossible to get a perfect click in one go, so opt for multiple picture shots for every scene.

Here are some of the most captivating waterfall wedding locations from around the world:

#5 Brazil: Canyon da Fumacinha

This waterfall is one of the best wedding destinations ...
... from South America. It is magnificent and has a lot of hideaways for a photo-perfect scene. This secretive waterfall is comfortably hidden between the mountains and with a drop of 1020 ft. the water bafflingly evaporates creating a surreal yet energetic mist in the inner cavern of the mountains.

#4 Belize: Butterfly Waterfalls

This wonderful waterfall can only be witnessed by the guests residing at The Hidden Valley Inn, Belize. The Maya Mountains has a lot to be explored, filled with activities like hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, and mountain biking in a 90 mile radius. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway wedding location, look no further - The Hidden Valley Inn steals the cake. You can reserve the entire waterfall area for a day or two. Romance at its best -

#3 Mindanao: Tinago Falls

Located in the second largest island in Philippines, this waterfall resides in the city of waterfalls - Mindanao. Though it is situated quite into the city, the effort and time it takes to reach the waterfall is definitely worth it. It is quite a tiresome trek down a 500 step staircase to reach the waterfall, but you will be awestruck after reaching the bottom. The beauty of this place never gets apart. On this small island, there are a lot of picturesque scenes and a lot of hideouts. A wedding day celebrated here will be cherished eternally.

#2 Arizona: Havasu Waterfalls

From this place you can witness the diversity of flora and fauna the Grand Canyon has to offer along with celebrating a breath taking wedding ceremony.

This breath taking waterfall is located in the Guangxi Province in China. This is the greatest contender in the list of waterfall wedding locations of the world. No matter which part of the world you belong to, this waterfall is going to blow your mind with its picturesque setup and beauty. This is not just one waterfall, but a group of waterfalls falling from various ridges in the mountain. All the flat surfaces of this mountain and intertwined and connected with the help of bridges and walkways so a wedding can be setup on any location desired surrounded by waterfall on all sides. Amazing.
