Brittany’s Bridal Portraits at Chateau Cocomar

Many brides use their wedding day venue for their bridal session. However, Brittany wanted two different styles! Her now-husband, Chip, and she knew they wanted a little less formal wedding. After touring Chateau Cocomar in Houston the couple had mixed feelings if it was for them. Chip immediately knew it was too grand and fancy for what he was envisioning. Brittany thought it was perfect but a little too formal for her plans as well.

But Brittany didn’t let go of her chateau dreams! A perfect example of when to use a venue different than your venue for your bridal portrait session. It truly gave Chip and Brittany the best of both worlds. The couple got the day the were dreaming of at their Jennings Trace Wedding and they also got amazing photos from a venue that they loved but wasn’t quite perfect for them.

Chateau Cocomar has so many stunning rooms it’s almost overwhelming to choose favorite spots for your bridal portraits! Each room is elegant and grand however each has a little different character. There are more library-esque rooms, all-white rooms, rooms with fireplaces, amazing bedrooms for getting ready style portraits- all the things! And don’t even get me started on the outdoor gardens. They are an absolute dream with the chateau in the backdrop. Truly stunning outdoor portraits when weather allows.

The chateau reminds me so much of France and is so inspirational to me personally. I love that Brittany felt inspired by Chateau Cocomar as well!
