Vibrant Fiesta-Inspired Engagement Session from Catherine Smeader Photography

It’s easy for a gorgeous engagement session to catch our eye when it comes across our inbox, but when it also involves not one, but two precious pups? Count us in! This vibrant fiesta-inspired engagement session from Catherine Smeader Photography included nods to Meredith and Jaime’s upcoming wedding in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as their two cute pooches smiling so nicely for the camera. We instantly fell in love! Meredith accompanied a friend to a work happy hour, met Jaime there, and the two hit it off. When it came time to propose, Jaime decided on a relaxed setting and proposed to Meredith in their backyard over a quiet morning’s coffee. Swoon! Now, they’re planning a fall wedding in Mexico but wanted to do an engagement session in Houston before the big day. Blushworthy gave Meredith a beautiful blow-out and classic makeup to complement her vivid red sheath and cream off-the-shoulder cocktail dress – perfect outfit choices paired with Jaime’s blue sport coat! Between the bright colors, customized Mexican banner and two darling puppies, we can’t get enough of this engagement session! Be sure and scroll down to read a fun fact about their upcoming wedding! Cheers to the soon-to-be newlyweds!

From the bride-to-be: “In Oaxaca, they have a wedding parade after you walk out of the church. There are huge bride and groom puppets, a local band, traditional dancers and mezcal. I love different traditions, so I can’t wait for that moment!”
