Bonjour,
Congratulations on your engagement!
I always suggest to family & friends that the best way to start looking for your venue is to define 3 -4 "must haves". These could include service ratios, water views, ceremony locations, budget etc.
When you start going for site inspections make a shortlist of around 5 venues, I would suggest going into the venues as well. Photos can be out dated or used to show the venues desired perspective. Take your partner, or someone else who has your idea in mind, so that you can get another perspective as well.
Good luck in finding a venue for your Special day!
