Aga Khan Museum Wedding Photography FAQ
A Wedding Photographer's Tips for Shooting at Aga Khan Museum
Tip 1: Use the Reflecting Pools for Symmetry and Light
The Aga Khan Museum's architecture is a study in light and geometry. The five reflecting pools in the park are a photographer's dream. Use them to capture perfect symmetrical shots of the building and the couple, or to play with reflections of the sky and light. Schedule time to shoot here just after sunrise or before sunset to catch the softest, most flattering light.
Tip 2: Embrace the Minimalist Architecture for a Modern Aesthetic
The building itself is a clean, minimalist masterpiece. Use the vast, white stone walls and precise lines as a backdrop. This style works beautifully for bold, graphic portraits that emphasize the couple's connection while letting the stunning architecture serve as a clean, modern canvas.
Tip 3: Be Aware of Permit and Interior Limitations
Unlike many other venues, photography inside the Aga Khan Museum is only permitted for couples who are holding their wedding there. If you're only shooting an engagement or portrait session, be prepared to stick to the park and grounds. A photography permit is required for any professional shoot in the park.
