Places To Do A Couple Shoot Pretoria

Last week we shared with you the best places to do e-shoots in Jo’;burg. This week the focus moves to Pretorie, otherwise known as Tshwane. With some assistance from fellow lovilees we made a small list. We would love to hear about more places or where you did your e-shoot in Pretoria!

;
Again, it is worth noting that some of the venues do charge a fee or that require some permission forms to be completed, to let you photograph there. It is always best to either check with your photographer or with the venue itself.

1. Pretville

Pretville, {aka, FUNville} is exactly as the name sugst, FUN! It was created specifically for the Afrikaans film, Pretville. With all the fun colours of the 50′s styled theme, you will definitely enjoy your couple session here. Darrell Fraser and Laura Jane both captured previous sessions here and shared their images with us:

2. SAAF Museum

Put your air-hostess outfit on or get stylish with a pair of boots. Be inspired by Amelia Earhart to put your wardrobe together for the day and use some aeroplanes as background to your shoot. The SAAF Museum will also work perfectly if you like a travel themed shoot. Images by: Darrell Fraser.

The Pretoria Zoo has plenty undiscovered places to photograph, from stables to a cable car up high. You can even make a wish at the big fountain! Images by Marinda May.

9. Bellbottoms Thrift Shop & Edd’;s Diner

browse the antique shop, Bellbottoms, whilst scouting the gold mine for some memorabilia for your photo session. Or enjoy the massive Edd’;s Diner Hamburgers and Chilli-cheese.
