Why We Love AvantGarden: Houston’s Hidden Gem

Vintage Charm Meets Artistic Ambiance

When it comes to wedding venues in Houston, AvantGarden is hands down one of our absolute favorites to photograph. As Houston wedding photographer & videographer, we’re always on the lookout for venues with character—and this one has it in spades. Located in the heart of Houston’s vibrant Montrose neighborhood, AvantGarden offers a unique, picturesque setting that’s perfect for couples who want something a little different. Whether you're planning an intimate wedding, an elopement, or a big celebration, this venue gives you the perfect blend of charm, history, and style. This beautiful three-story building was once visited by legendary Houstonian Howard Hughes when he was a child. That kind of local history is part of what makes AvantGarden so special. From the inviting front garden porch to the expansive back patio, there’s no shortage of beautiful spots for wedding portraits—rain or shine.

Whether we’re capturing a cozy indoor wedding ceremony, a colorful outdoor celebration, or a sparkler exit under the string lights, AvantGarden always delivers. The space allows couples to truly make it their own, and that freedom of expression always leads to the most unforgettable images.
