1859 Ashton Villa: A Legacy of Resilience

As the first brick mansion on Broadway, 1859 Ashton Villa is a symbol of Galveston's enduring spirit. Having survived the Great Storm of 1900, it stands today as a premier Victorian venue, offering a masterfully preserved ballroom and manicured grounds for the truly discerning couple.

Textures of Time

For those looking for authentic Victorian wedding venues in Galveston, Ashton Villa is the gold standard. As a photographer, I am inspired by the rich brick textures and the historic "patina" of the estate. I often use the high-contrast afternoon sun to create dramatic, black-and-white portraits that look as if they could have been taken a century ago.

Mastering Ashton Villa is about knowing how to work with its historic soul. My 30 years in the industry allow me to see the "timeless" shots—the ones that capture the gravity of your commitment in a place that has witnessed over 160 years of history. It's about creating a legacy that matches the venue's own.
