Ashley’s Bridal Session at Longue Vue House and Gardens

The picturesque Longue Vue House and Gardens in New Orleans set the perfect backdrop for Ashley’s stunning bridal session. As a destination wedding photographer, I am always drawn to locations that blend natural beauty with a touch of old-world charm, and this historic venue provided just that. The lush gardens, elegant architecture, and serene ambiance beautifully complemented Ashley’s sophisticated style, creating a timeless atmosphere that was ideal for capturing her bridal portraits. Longue Vue is known for it’s beautiful tree lined driveway leading up to the home, and it was the perfect spot for photos.

Ashley, adorned in a breathtaking gown with a detachable piece, exuded grace and elegance. Her choice of attire was a perfect match for the vintage charm of the Longue Vue House, and the versatility of her gown allowed for a variety of captivating looks throughout the session. From soft, romantic shots in the garden to more structured, posed images against the stately backdrop of the house, each photo showcased her radiant beauty and the exquisite details of her ensemble.

Embracing Authentic Moments Through Film Photography

As a film wedding photographer, my approach focuses on capturing genuine, heartfelt moments that tell a unique story. During Ashley’s session, I aimed to blend candid shots with artistic compositions, ensuring that each image reflected the true essence of her personality and the joy of this special time. The use of film photography added a nostalgic, timeless quality to the images, enhancing the emotional resonance of the moments we captured.

One of the highlights of the session was the golden hour, where the soft, warm light enveloped Ashley, creating a dreamy, ethereal glow. This light-driven approach brought out the natural beauty of both the bride and the surroundings, resulting in images that felt organic and true to life. Each photograph not only documented Ashley’s elegance but also the enchanting ambiance of the Longue Vue House and Gardens.

Ashley’s bridal session at Longue Vue House and Gardens was a perfect reflection of her timeless elegance and sophisticated style. By combining the natural beauty of the venue with the emotional depth of film photography, we created a stunning collection of images that tell her unique story. For brides who value authenticity, sentimental details, and the artistry of film, this approach offers a beautiful way to capture the essence of your special day.
