They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we think a great wedding photo is worth a million. And while choosing your photographer is crucial, securing a stunning backdrop is just as important. We’ve rounded up 10 of the most photo-worthy wedding venues across the country so you don’t have to.

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
Situated in the heart of Miami, Vizcaya is a favorite wedding venue that lends itself to every style from cocktail-glam to Cuban-inspired. It has lush gardens, water views, and intricate stonework all over the grounds. (Photography via KT Merry)
Post Ranch Inn
If you’re a sucker for oceanfront views, the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur has them in spades.

Haiku Mill
Who doesn’t dream of a tropical Hawaiian wedding? Beachfront may be more common, but celebrating among the lush greenery of the island is equally as exquisite. Haiku Mill offers a gorgeous reception backdrop of ruins draped in vines and florals. (Photography via Anna Kim Photography)
Lowndes Grove Plantation
The grandeur of a Southern plantation house is hard to argue with. Take a picturesque front facade with impressively large windows, a second-story balcony, and a lakefront location, and you are in for some unique shots of your special day. (Photography via Danielle Harris Photography)
Biltmore Estate
Stately and impressive, the Biltmore’s sprawling grounds actually have many venue options, including a conservatory, a vineyard, gardens, the barn, and more.(Photography via The Biltmore Company)
The Icehouse

The Little Nell
Instead of saving the money shot for pre-ceremony photos, why not welcome the whole guest list to partake in scenic views during your I do’s? (Photography via Erik Clausen)
Barnsley Resort
Housed on an estate in North Georgia, the Barnsley Resort has the best of both worlds with its relaxed ranch-feel and romantic chandelier-adorned ceremony location in their manor ruins. (Photography via Nadia D Photography )
The Observatory at Alta Lakes
Jaw-dropping landscapes for a backdrop are all the rage right now. So if you can’t make it to Norway for your nuptials, check out Telluride for some raw natural beauty. (Photography via Heather Payne Photography)
