Today’s inspiration shoot is like a blossom scented breath of fresh air! Filled with pretty pastels, delicate blooms (as well as a splash of greenery) and the loveliest, most pin-worthy details, it is just perfect for Spring….

A few words from photographer Catherine Smeader….. “I loved photographing this romantic Texas garden wedding inspiration shoot! It was the first of Heather Benge Events‘ Styled Shoots Across American series, and it was so much fun to partner with such a talented vendor team. The look that was dreamt up for Houston Oaks featured a soft color palette of pinks, beiges blues and neutrals; eclectic mix-matched vintage rentals; the most amazing blooms and a stunning + sweet real couple (Fashion Blogger Jessica Crum and her husband). 

Not much is needed for Houston Oaks – it’s that pretty! From the moment you step foot on the property, you fall in love! The chapel at Houston Oaks came from the Luberon region of France and was rebuilt stone by stone in Houston as if it was meant to be there forever. The grounds also feature 200-year-old oak trees and impeccably landscaped gardens that created a very whimsical and gorgeous backdrop for this shoot. With such a beautiful location and details (can we just talk about that beautiful laurel cake by Who Made The Cake! with those sugar flowers?), I knew I wanted to photograph the shoot in both medium format film and digital to capture all the beauty. Every little detail was perfectly thought out! But if I had to choose, my favorite detail was a framed vase of florals at the escort card table that the talented florist, F. Dellit Designs, created. A close second was the beautiful get away car!”
