Ethereal Lakeside Bridal Inspiration from Catherine Smeader Photography

We’re completely swooning over the organic beauty in this ethereal lakeside bridal inspiration shoot from Catherine Smeader Photography. The picturesque setting has us feeling like we’ve been transported to a far away land, with the pines, pristine lake and vibrant greenery! The model bride exemplifies a classic romantic look with a loose braided updo, off-the-shoulder dress and low back to show off her perfect porcelain skin, complemented by timeless jewelry. The florals by Blush and Vine with burgeoning pale yellow blooms add an understated pop of color, while the greenery-adorned cake from Buttercup Bakery gives a touch of garden whimsy. We’re in love!

From the photographer: “The inspiration behind this warm lagoon bridal session was really drawn from the location. We shot at a hidden gem located outside of Houston, Texas, that is known and loved for its pristine water. The lagoon is a cool shade of blue – almost turquoise – which makes for a stunning backdrop. I chose it for the hues of beautiful blues and greens and the landscape of the location, knowing I wanted to keep the details classic and simple.”
