There’s just something about a location that makes you want to dress up, grab a cocktail, and pretend you’re living your best old money life. And The Faust Hotel in New Braunfels, Texas, is exactly that kind of place!
I recently had the opportunity to photograph Emma and Seth during a wedding-inspired styled shoot hosted by The Faust Hotel, Sudhaus Creative, and A Perfect Day New Braunfels. The entire experience was all about timeless romance, sophisticated details, and a little bit of that effortlessly swanky vibe that I absolutely love.
If you love classic style with a little personality, The Faust Hotel is definitely a location to consider for your wedding photos.
This shoot was all about showcasing the hotel’s character and the different spaces it has to offer. Think romantic portraits, elegant styling, and images that feel like they could have been taken decades ago but still feel fresh and modern today.
And one of my favorite things about this location? You can lean into that classic, luxurious aesthetic without your photos feeling overly formal or stuffy.
A little romance, a little edge, and a whole lot of personality!




One of my favorite parts of this shoot was photographing Emma and Seth inside Wilhelm and Werner Bar and Restaurant.
I’m such a fan of locations that give photos a completely different feel, and this space was perfect for creating something a little moodier, more intimate, and sophisticated.
It’s a reminder that your wedding or engagement photos don’t have to look exactly like everyone else’s. You can have timeless images that are also romantic, a little sexy, and completely your own.




If you’re planning wedding portraits, an engagement session, or even a romantic couples session at The Faust Hotel, my biggest advice is to go all in with your outfits!
This is the kind of location where you can really embrace a more dressed-up look. Think tailored suits, beautiful dresses, luxurious textures, and classic pieces that make you feel amazing.
Don’t be afraid to make a statement. The setting already has so much personality, so have fun with it!









As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love opportunities like this.
Styled shoots give me the freedom to try something different, experiment creatively, and push myself to become an even better photographer. They’re also such a fun way to show couples what’s possible when you embrace a location and make it your own.
And this one definitely reminded me how much I love creating images that feel romantic, timeless, and full of personality.






Whether you’re planning your wedding at The Faust Hotel, dreaming up a dressed-up engagement session, or looking for a New Braunfels wedding photographer who loves a little creativity, I’d love to hear what you have in mind!
