Venue Spotlight: Chateau Nouvelle | Houston, Texas

If you’re searching for a venue that feels like a European escape without ever leaving Texas, look no further than Chateau Nouvelle in Houston. This breathtaking estate is one of the most luxurious and romantic venues I’ve had the joy of photographing. It’s easy to see why so many couples fall in love with it at first sight!

A Touch of France in the Heart of Texas

Chateau Nouvelle is a true gem, bringing the elegance of a French château to the Houston wedding scene. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with grand architecture, intricate stonework, and towering iron doors that set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

Whether you’re hosting a classic black-tie affair or a whimsical garden-inspired soirée, this venue is a stunning backdrop for every kind of wedding day.

The Grand Staircase & Ballrooms: Elegance at Every Turn

One of Chateau Nouvelle’s most iconic features is its dramatic staircase! This is perfect for that “walking down the stairs to see your groom” moment or a show-stopping bridal portrait. Inside, the grand ballroom features sparkling chandeliers, high ceilings, and ornate details that make every reception feel like a royal event.

As a photographer, I love how the venue is full of natural light during the day. Not to mention the glow with romantic ambiance at night. It’s a dream for capturing every emotion and elegant detail.

Luxurious Getting Ready Spaces

Both the bridal and groom’s suites are as beautiful as they are functional. The bridal suite is spacious, light-filled, and full of windows and mirrors which is ideal for those joyful getting-ready moments. Meanwhile, the groom’s suite gives the guys a stylish, comfortable place to hang out and prepare for the day.

European Gardens & Outdoor Ceremony Options

The manicured gardens and romantic courtyard areas offer beautiful options for outdoor ceremonies and portraits. Whether it’s golden hour by the fountain or a quiet moment under the arches, there’s no shortage of stunning photo locations on the property.
