I love discovering venues, new or old. Sometimes the best are new venues at old locations. They bring a permanence and longevity to your nuptials. You just get the feeling that a place that has been around this long and has seen so much of life is good luck for a lifetime of happiness! Recently, Chateau Vie opened its doors to vendors to get a preview of this soon to be hit for triad weddings. In just a few weeks, owners Tyler and Mary Rhodes, have already started on some amazing changes and upgrades to this property and booked several weddings. Brides are scrambling for these special introductory prices for their 2018 weddings. 

The property has seen many weddings over the years but the original owners of the estate found it was time to retire and move on. Tyler and Mary, having another venue in Walnut Cove, stepped in and I'm sure the rest is soon to be history. We were honored to take the first photos at Chateau Vie at the Vendor open house. A quick styled shoot was organized by the industrious Katy at Songbirds Consignment and Bridal. We really are blessed to work with such an amazing network of vendors all over the triad that these things can come together quickly. With two amazing models (Lauren and Cameron) this turned out to be a wonderful experience and I'm sure brides will find the same on their big day with beautiful photo opportunities and owners who are focused on the details. We can't wait to see some weddings out here! 

We hope you enjoy this first look at Chateau Vie. We envision some beautiful weddings here. If you decide to make this THE PLACE for your special day keep us in mind to capture it for you!
