Surrounded by the crisp beauty of mid-November leaves and the warmth of loved ones, the Langfords’ wedding at The Chateau of Longview was a dream come true. Their day was the perfect blend of authenticity and timeless elegance. From our first consult call, I knew Jayden and Avery were different from most young couples; having been friends since middle school and dating since 16 and 17 years old, they understood the importance of loving each other’s authentic selves. Jayden shared with me, “We can’t wait to have photos of our wedding day that feel like us! Our biggest pet peeve are wedding photos that are completely staged… Our relationship is centered around authenticity and we strive for everything else to align with it!” How golden?!
Not only had I completely fallen in love with their vision, but their choice of wedding venue was also golden. The Chateau of Longview, a modern Longview wedding venue, is a hidden gem that can be found just north of the city. From their grand architectural elements, such as their bridal house and reception bard, to their outdoor ceremony space, they intricately designed their venue to feel like a home away from home. Similarly, my East Texas Wedding Photography Team strives for you to feel the same when you look at your wedding photos. We want to deliver wedding photos that authentically feel like you and the excitement of your celebration.
The morning began with an air of excitement as Jayden prepared alongside her closest friends and family in The Chateau’s modern bridal house. She wore a cozy pajama set paired with a white robe that radiated her bridal glow. Meanwhile, Avery and his groomsmen shared laughter and stories as they got ready at the groom’s house. His tailored suit reflected the couple’s modern wedding theme. These quiet moments set the tone for a joy-filled day to come.
Their outdoor ceremony was a dream come true! The aisle was sprinkled with crisp white rose petals to welcome Jayden and her father as they approached a highly-anticipated moment. Jayden and Avery exchanged vows and their first kiss in the presence of their loved ones. After being pronounced as Mr and Mrs, their celebration continued with a stunning reception. The newlyweds chose to highlight the versatility of the venue by hosting a grand gathering for their guests inside the reception barn along with their cake-cutting table and Dr. Pepper tower! These unique details pulled together Jayden and Avery’s wedding vision seamlessly. And to top the entire day off, the bride and groom chose to take a dip in the pool located in their outdoor reception area. The ultimate touch to their wedding gallery to show off how spontaneous these two truly are!
The Langford’s Wedding at The Chateau of Longview was more than a celebration. A goal was achieved: to bring their closest family and friends together in a space that perfectly reflects their authenticity as a couple… A value they made known to me from the beginning.
