Wedding photographs taking advantage of the natural environment create breathtaking wedding photos, but the built world can also prove to be equally remarkable as a backdrop to your special day's photos.

See our choice of wedding photos illustrating how well architecture can be combined with wedding photography to create stunning results – sometimes blending in, sometimes creating a stark contrast between the couple and their environment. Combined with a knowledge of composition, lighting, colour and special effects, the following wedding photographers have captured our imagination with 25 amazing architectural inspired shots.

If you're getting married, you might find the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos here, or at the least get some ideas to help you decide what type of photos you'd like included in your wedding photo album.
