You probably already know The Hummingbird Chateau as a Maryland wedding venue, but there’s another way to enjoy our little corner of Maryland that you might not know about! Our farmhouse and bridal suites are also available for glam sessions, bridal photoshoots and rentals. Our farmhouse has an eclectic feel with vintage furniture, colorful details, plenty of plants and so many fun little corners to photograph. There’s room to spread out, get glammed up, pop a bottle of bubbly and create photos that are different from traditional bridal portraits you see everywhere. Whether you’re getting married here or simply looking for a Maryland bridal photoshoot location with plenty of personality, there’s a lot you can do with this space.

A Bridal Suite With Plenty of Personality

We’ve always wanted the spaces at The Hummingbird Chateau to feel interesting, comfortable and a little unexpected, and our bridal suite is no exception. Throughout the farmhouse, you’ll find a mix of vintage and eclectic pieces, from antique-style sofas and colorful velvet chairs to vanity stations, plants, rugs and fun little details tucked throughout the rooms. Rather than having one designated spot where everyone takes the same photo, there are different setups to play with depending on the look you’re going for.

You can keep things soft and romantic on one of our vintage sofas or add a little more drama with the peacock chair and greenery. There’s also plenty of room to have fun with champagne, flowers and all those getting-ready details. You can create a surprising amount of variety without having to pack everything up and travel from one place to another.

Turn Getting Ready Into Part of the Photoshoot

Of course, the bridal suites were designed with actual wedding mornings in mind, too! There’s plenty of room to settle in before the ceremony, get ready with your favorite people and enjoy those hours leading up to “I do.” But having a beautiful space around you also means the getting-ready portion of the day can become part of the photos rather than simply something happening in the background.

From getting ready with your bridal party to popping a bottle of champagne before the ceremony, the bridal suite gives you plenty of opportunities for fun photos throughout the morning. And because there are so many different spaces within the farmhouse, your photographer has plenty to work with while everyone is getting ready.

Bridal Portraits Without the Wedding-Day Rush

There’s also no rule that says your bridal photos have to happen on your actual wedding day. A separate bridal session gives you a chance to get dressed, have your hair and makeup done and spend more time creating portraits. There’s no need to watch the clock or worry about getting back in time for the ceremony.

Want to wear your wedding dress again? Bring a completely different bridal look? Try something a little more editorial or glamorous than what you have planned for the wedding itself? Go for it. Our bridal glam and photoshoot rentals give you the space to have fun with it.

One Maryland Bridal Photoshoot Location, So Many Different Looks

One of our favorite things about the farmhouse is that it doesn’t have one single “look.” There are bright, airy areas and moodier little corners. There’s vintage furniture alongside boho details, pops of color, greenery, hardwood floors and antique-inspired pieces. Even moving from one room to the next can give your photos a completely different feel. That makes the space especially fun for photographers, creatives and brides who want a full gallery with plenty of variety. Bring your bouquet, veil, fun shoes and your favorite bottle of bubbly. You can make the session as bridal, glamorous, playful or creative as you’d like.

It Doesn’t Have to Be All White to Feel Bridal

We love a beautiful, classic bridal moment, but we also love when brides make things their own. Your photos don’t have to be limited to a white dress against a white wall. In fact, all the color, texture and personality inside the farmhouse can make those bridal details stand out even more. We’ve seen brides have so much fun making the space their own. Pair a simple white look with bold florals, or add metallic shoes, a little rosé and plenty of glam.
