In Asia in countries such as Vietnam and Singapore it is the fashion to do a pre-wedding photo shoot the day or week in advance. If you see a wedding couple in a venue, that's probably a good place to show off your beau and your beautiful holiday clothes.
Los Angeles' Union station is the setting for the Oscars, extending the space needed for social distancing.
The station is open as usual for trains, during the ceremony, as well as before and after. You may have seen the station already as it has appeared in numerous films.
One more place to put on your visit list next time you are in Los Angeles, as well as the stars in the pavement. (NB what the British call the pavement, Americans call the sidewalk. to Americans, pavement is the roadway.)
Many professional photgraphers will offer you a standard venue. sometimes a choice of venues at different prices. Before Covid-19 prevented travel to Malaysia, brides would go to a waterfall in Malaysia.
Many hotels have waterfalls. You can also find lots of waterfalls and fountains at theme parks such as Disney. And major hotels.
