Beautiful Photography Locations in the RGV

We were so excited to get a private tour of this iconic spot that just opened its doors for photography and content creation! Pagewick Manor, located in San Juan, Texas, is truly one of a kind. It’s an actual residence — a true labor of love by a husband and wife who have spent years collecting every book, piece of art, and vintage artifact you see inside.

They’ve put so much care into transforming and styling the interior, and they plan to expand the photo-worthy spaces outdoors too. So many hidden details make it feel like stepping into another time. Just a heads up: since this is their personal home, all bookings are by appointment only and respect for the space is key.

If you’re on the hunt for dreamy backdrops in the RGV, Chateau on 5th in McAllen is another favorite. This French-style venue is picture-perfect for bridal portraits, styled shoots, or romantic sessions.

And don’t miss Chateau D’Mont in Harlingen — its timeless architecture and elegant details make it such a classic spot for photographers and creators alike.
