    Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To find the best cities for a bridal photoshoot, we started with a list of the 100 most populated cities in the U.S. and ranked them from 1 to 100 based on factors that would be important to bridal photoshoots. We broke those factors down into three categories: conditions, backdrop, and details. We then assigned weights to each factor depending on how important it would be to a bridal photoshoot. Based on those weights, each city we analyzed was given a score out of 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
