10 Ideas for a Vintage Style Luxury Car Wedding Photoshoot

Not gonna lie — when I first started planning my wedding photoshoot, all I knew was that I wanted something different. You know that vibe when you see an old car in a movie and it just makes everything feel… cooler? Yeah, that. That’s why luxury car hire for photoshoot popped up on my radar.

Honestly, there’s something crazy timeless about a vintage car. It’s not just a prop. It’s like a whole feeling. And if you’re even thinking about doing it, here’s a bunch of ideas (some obvious, some totally random) you might wanna steal.

1. Bring Back the Classic “Just Married” Moment

Okay first up — that cheesy “Just Married” thing? Do it. Seriously. Tin cans, a messy little sign hanging off the bumper, maybe even your grandma’s handwriting on the back window. It sounds dumb when you say it out loud but it photographs so freaking well. Especially if the car’s like a ’57 Chevy or a Bentley from the 60s.

2. Forget Posing — Just Hang Out in the Backseat

Another one: skip the fancy staged photos for a sec. Just jump into the backseat. Laugh. Kiss. Steal a glass of champagne from the reception and just vibe. The real moments in that leather backseat? Way better than the stiff smiling-at-the-camera stuff.

3. If You Can, Get a Convertible

If you can snag a convertible, do it. I’m serious. One of my friends rented this ancient white Cadillac with the top down, and her veil was flying like crazy — it made the whole picture look like it belonged in some retro magazine. 

4. Vintage Mirrors = Hidden Photo Gold

Also: old mirrors are photo gold. Those round little side mirrors on vintage cars? Reflections, baby. Half the time, those shots end up being people’s favorites because they feel so sneaky and intimate.

5. Don’t Sleep on Nighttime City Shots

Honestly though, one thing I wish I had thought of earlier? City lights. Like a nighttime photoshoot. Imagine pulling up to some neon diner in a shiny old Rolls-Royce, headlights bouncing off the chrome, your dress glowing under the streetlights.

6. Please, Please Do a Black and White Series

And not to get all bossy but, PLEASE do a black and white series. Vintage cars and black-and-white film are like peanut butter and jelly. Even if you’re obsessed with color edits, trust me — you’re gonna want a few frames that feel like they could’ve been shot in 1942.

7. Decorate the Car With Flowers

Oh and flowers — not just for the bouquet. Throw flowers on the car too. Draping them across the hood or tucking them around the license plate just makes everything feel lush and extra. If you’re lucky, a few will fall off naturally while you’re driving and it’ll look even better.

8. Fake a Grand Getaway

Here’s another dumb little idea that turned out amazing: fake drive-off. Like pretending you’re leaving for your honeymoon, even if you’re not. Photographers love this because it adds this kinda bittersweet, storybook ending to your album.

9. Make Sure You Hire the Right People

Side note? Make sure your car rental service actually gets weddings. Not just, like, “oh yeah, we rent cars for photos.” Some companies specialize in exactly this — they’ll know how to position the car, clean it up, even match it to your vibe. Search carefully for Luxury Car Hire For Photoshoot options that talk about weddings specifically — it makes a difference, trust me.

Final Thoughts

Anyway, End of the day? Vintage cars make everything cooler. They just do. You don’t have to go to a full 1920s Gatsby party (unless you want to), but even one old beauty parked outside your venue can change the whole mood of your photos. And hey — you get to say you rode into marriage in a Rolls. Not everybody can say that.
