Isn’t she just stunning? These Chateau Bellevue bridal portraits are hand down some of my favorites. Built in 1874, Chateau Bellevue is romantic and elegant, with French Romanesque arches, beautiful courtyard grounds, a spacious ballroom, ornate hand carved woodwork and stunning stained glass windows. Chateau Bellevue has been the headquarters of the Austin Woman’s Club since 1929 and the Junior Austin Woman’s Club since 1940.

This bride, and the love of her life, finally tied the knot at the stunning new Austin wedding venue Ma Maison in Dripping Springs, so I get the treat of sharing a few of my favorite photos from her bridal session at Chateau Bellevue! And her guests got treated to a gorgeous 20×30″ print that was unveiled at the wedding reception. This Ma Maison wedding also ended up being featured in the The Knot Texas Magazine!

The aerial photo from the top of the stairs is one of my all-time favorites, just for it’s unique perspective and how beautifully it shows off her dress and bouquet with the side lighting. Enjoy this beautiful bride and her Chateau Bellevue bridal portraits!
