Bridal Portrait Session at Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC

Today, I met with Vanessa to do the bridals for her upcoming wedding in April. She chose the beautiful Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC for the location. Stowe is a 1920's southern mansion with a renaissance revival style that fit perfectly with Vanessa's antique style wedding gown. I'll showcase some of my favorites from her session after the wedding. Stowe boasts 8500 square feet of heated living space with a beautiful double arm staircase so of course we took full advantage of its southern flair. It also has a wonderful grand foyer, library, parlor and dining room to host the grandest of weddings. So all of you brides out there looking for a venue with some real southern charm, Stowe Manor is just the venue for you.
