Jaipur Shoot Planning Tips

Best season: October to March. Avoid April–June (heat exceeds 42°C). November to February is peak wedding-photo season — book 6–8 weeks in advance.
Combine locations: Amer Fort in the morning + Nahargarh Fort at sunset = two iconic backdrops in one day. Add Hawa Mahal street shoot en route.
Extend to Udaipur: Udaipur is 4 hours from Jaipur by road — combine both cities for a 2-day Rajasthan shoot. Udaipur's Lake Pichola and City Palace are among India's most iconic pre wedding shoot locations.
Photography permits: Amer Fort and Hawa Mahal require a separate photography fee (₹50–₹200) on top of entry. Always confirm on arrival.
