The Grand Canal, according to Britannica.com, is three kilometres long and sits between 100 and 225 feet wide. It has an average depth of about five metres and carries the majority of the transport in Venice.

And, if you are looking to make your photos even more British-eque, Big Ben is a few steps away.

Brides looking for a beach backdrop with a twist will adore this cliffside Australian photoshoot.

For the best backdrop, take the path to the Guardiola Tower, which has the prettiest view of the homes and water.
