There’s something undeniably timeless about bridal portraits at Longue Vue House and Gardens . With its European-inspired architecture, manicured lawns, and stunning oak-lined driveway, this venue provides the perfect setting for a bride who wants an elevated and refined look for her portraits.
Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing Taylor’s bridal session here, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect location for her classic and sophisticated bridal style.
Why Longue Vue House and Gardens is a Stunning Choice for Bridal Portraits
Longue Vue House and Gardens is a hidden gem for brides who want something that feels luxurious, elegant, and European, but still has that Southern charm. Unlike traditional plantation-style venues with grand white columns, Longue Vue offers a unique alternative with its refined, old-world feel.
Some of my favorite features for bridal portraits at this venue include:
The European-style architecture, which adds a regal touch.
The oak-lined driveway, offering a breathtaking natural frame.
The outdoor staircase, which creates elegant, high-fashion bridal moments.
The manicured lawns, providing a lush, polished backdrop.
Every angle at Longue Vue feels polished and editorial, making it ideal for modern brides or classic Southern brides alike.

Taylor’s Classic & Elegant Bridal Session
Taylor’s vision for her bridal session was nothing short of timeless elegance. She chose a strapless gown with clean lines and a removable train, embodying understated sophistication. To elevate her bridal look even further, she wore gloves and statement earrings, giving her portraits a touch of vintage glamour with a modern edge.
Even though the day was overcast, the soft, diffused light made the session feel even more romantic and ethereal. We embraced the natural elegance of the venue, capturing stunning portraits in the oak-lined driveway and along the outdoor staircase, which complemented Taylor’s refined bridal aesthetic beautifully.
