Carr Mansion: A Greek Revival Hidden Gem

For the couple seeking "classic meets chic," Carr Mansion is Galveston's ultimate hidden gem. This carefully restored 19th-century Greek Revival estate balances historic character with a modern, sophisticated design sensibility that is rare in the South.

The Ethereal Solarium

In the world of Galveston boutique wedding venues, Carr Mansion stands out for its flexibility and style. As a photographer with 30 years of experience, I am drawn to the mansion’s incredible natural light. The Solarium and white-pillared porches act as giant softboxes, allowing me to use my L-series 50mm f/1.2 to create glowing, editorial bridal portraits that feel effortless and high-fashion.

Whether you're hosting an intimate celebration for 50 or a weekend retreat in their 8 gorgeous suites, Carr Mansion provides a backdrop that is stand-alone in its beauty. My goal is always to maximize that coastal light to tell a story of grace and modern elegance.
