1. Choose a Peerspace venue

Gather your loved ones in the space of your choice for a set of festive Easter photos with Peerspace. The world’s largest venue marketplace offers a huge number of possible backdrops for your photoshoot. Using its detailed search tool, you’ll find conventional photo studio-type spaces as well as more unconventional spaces like party venues, picturesque homes, gorgeous gardens, and more.

Speaking of gorgeous gardens, one of our favorite options for your Easter backdrop ideas includes this Spanish villa secret garden in San Diego, CA. Its super lush setting makes it ideal for Easter portraits, while its covered patio and gourmet kitchen make it perfect for a post-photoshoot family gathering.

A photographer who booked this secret garden for a shoot shared the following Peerspace review: “Francesca is absolutely amazing. The house was amazing and the service even better. Would definitely love to work here again.”

2. At the Easter egg hunt

Another place to take sweet candid photos for your Easter photoshoot is at an Easter egg hunt. Dress the kids up in their cutest outfits (bunny costumes, anyone?!) and snap pictures of them searching furiously for Easter eggs!

It’s hard to think of anything more adorable, so this is one of our top Easter backdrop ideas for sure. Plus, it makes it easier for you. Unless you want to get a few more posed photos together, you won’t have to convince the kids to sit still, because some of the best shots of the day are sure to be of them in motion!

3. At Easter brunch

There’s a reason that an Easter brunch is a classic way to celebrate the holiday. Just about everybody loves to share a delicious meal of breakfast foods, especially eaten with the people they care about.

So maybe the brunch itself could be your Easter photoshoot backdrop! This would be a more candid photoshoot. As family and friends are basking in the glow of a delicious meal, the photos are sure to be a real reflection of your relationships and your care for one another. You can even find a stylish (and delicious!) brunch spot near you by using Peerspace.

Speaking of brunch, our special Easter brunch ideas will keep your family happy long after the photoshoot is wrapped!

4. Find a pretty bridge

A picturesque bridge, particularly one in a nice park, makes a visually engaging spot for a photoshoot. Because it’s a location we generally associate with traveling from one place to another, photos of people standing in the middle of a bridge are eye-catching and momentarily take us by surprise. All the better for your photos if the bridge stretches over a beautiful stream and is surrounded by lush greenery!

5. Visit a local farm or petting zoo (especially one with rabbits!)

Rabbits are the quintessential symbol of Easter, so visiting a farm or petting zoo and doing a photoshoot hanging out with some real live rabbits is an unbeatable way to celebrate the holiday. Plus, you’ll end up with some adorable photos by the end! And another adorable symbol of Easter? Baby chicks!

See if you can find a local farm that just hatched some chickens and would be willing to let you take photos with them. Make it easy on yourself by booking a petting zoo through Peerspace and messaging the host with any questions or requests! If you’ve got kids, they’re sure to be absolutely delighted. We bet they won’t complain about posing for photos when they’re cuddling with adorable animals.

6. Explore a local botanic garden

Spring is closely linked to the symbolism of Easter, and there’s no better Easter backdrop idea than an abundant garden. Botanical gardens in particular are home to some of the most beautiful floral specimens in the world. With a botanic garden’s array of colorful blooming spring flowers like tulips, daffodils, pansies, irises, and many more, you’ll have abundant options when it comes to your preferred floral backdrop.

Just be sure to contact the botanic garden in advance and ask them about their policy when it comes to photography and professional photoshoots.

7. Try a cozy cottage

Something about the spring-y and quaint imagery of Easter is perfectly suited to the backdrop of a warm, cozy cottage in the country. Plus, because so many cottages come with their own fabulous gardens, visiting a cottage for your Easter photoshoot means you’ll have opportunities for both indoor and outdoor photos.

To find a suitable cottage, visit Peerspace and use the search tool to look for cottages near you. Our friends in the Austin, TX area can book this super chic modern English cottage as their Easter backdrop. A Peerspace reviewer referred to their time here thusly: “Amazing host, super communicative and helpful which allowed for a seamless shoot day. The kitchen/dining space were lovely.”

8. Flowering trees in full bloom

Numerous flowering trees bloom during the Easter season. These include but are not limited to dogwood, with its white blossoms, as well as Japanese magnolias and cherry trees, with their glorious pink flowers. If you’re lucky enough to live near one, visit an orchard or park with flowering trees! There, you can take photos sitting on the fallen petals and walking between the blooming trees, which will lend an almost otherworldly beauty to your Easter photoshoot.

9. In your own garden

Yes, we’ve mentioned using nature to your advantage and doing photoshoots in parks and at botanic gardens. And while these are great Easter backdrop ideas, they don’t have the same homey appeal of the garden just outside your own back door. If you’re lucky enough to have a home with a garden (or even an apartment balcony/rooftop with some potted plants), consider having your photoshoot there instead of venturing further afield. You’ll feel comfortable and at home, and you can modify the space to your heart’s content.

If your garden isn’t up to par, don’t fret! Instead, book a super photogenic garden space on Peerspace to enjoy for your shoot! For example, we adore this garden oasis right outside of Philadelphia, PA. It’s a super vibrant outdoor garden that features azalea bushes, butterfly bushes, hydrangeas, Japanese maples, cherry blossom trees, and a wall of ivy. In other words, everything you could possibly want for Easter backdrop ideas set in a garden!

10. In a big open field

Be it a wildflower meadow or an open, grassy pasture, the broad vistas you’ll find in these kinds of locations make them a perfect setting for Easter photography celebrating the lush growth of spring. Take photos running through the field or standing with your arms around your loved ones — whatever feels right, it’s up to you!
