Houston Garden Wedding at Shirley Acres

Liz + Aiden are the kind of couple who make your heart feel full. From the way they look at each other to the warmth they radiate, their Houston garden wedding was an amazing celebration. Aiden proposed during a shared birthday dinner at The Melting Pot because their birthdays are just one day apart. How adorable is that?

Their Houston garden wedding was held at the dreamy Shirley Acres, and it was everything you’d imagine a spring wedding to be: soft, romantic, emotional, and filled with beautiful, garden-inspired details. Shirley Acres is a Houston wedding venue that truly embraces the natural, romantic beauty of a spring garden wedding, and it delivered on every level. With its manicured garden, airy ceremony space, and lush greenery, it created the most enchanting atmosphere for their day. If you’re planning a Houston garden wedding, this venue is one you absolutely need to see.

Emotional First Look with Dad

The weather could not have been more perfect. There was warm sunshine, a gentle breeze, and not a cloud in sight. The entire day felt relaxed and full of love, with friends and family soaking in every joyful moment.

One of the most touching parts of the day was Liz’s emotional first look with her father. After the emotional moment, the flower girl brought them tissues. And yes, we were all tearing up. These quiet, intimate moments are what make wedding days unforgettable.

Bridesmaids in Pink

Liz looked absolutely breathtaking in her gown. She was glowing with happiness. And the styling of the entire wedding party complemented the soft spring garden theme so beautifully. Her bridesmaids wore blush pink dresses. Their color palette of pinks, pastels, and fresh greenery was the perfect nod to their spring garden inspiration, and every detail (from florals to attire) felt cohesive and thoughtful.

Groomsmen in Gray

Let’s take a moment for Aiden and his groomsmen because they brought all the laid-back energy to the day. Dressed in light grey suits with pink ties, they perfectly matched the romantic garden palette while still keeping things fresh and modern. Aiden stood out in a darker grey suit, adding a classic contrast. These guys were relaxed and supportive. Whether they were hyping Aiden up before the ceremony or cracking jokes between portraits, they made the day even more enjoyable.

Houston Garden Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony took place under a stunning garden arbor. It created such an enchanting atmosphere for Liz + Aiden to exchange their vows. The setting was intimate, surrounded by greenery and blooms. The love and emotion in the air was so real that you could feel the it, not just between the couple, but among every guest there. From emotional moments with family to the dreamy garden ceremony and soft golden light, Liz + Aiden’s wedding was a perfect reflection of who they are. This Houston garden wedding had everything: heartfelt connections, timeless style, and a relaxed, springtime atmosphere that brought everyone together.

Romantic Bride & Groom Portraits

After the ceremony, as the sun began to dip low, we snuck Liz + Aiden away for their golden hour portraits, and these two were glowing. The light was warm and golden, and they were so at ease with one another. They laughed, danced, and completely soaked in the moment. Honestly, it was magical. These are the kinds of moments that remind us why we love photographing weddings so much.

Houston Garden Wedding Reception

After the ceremony and cocktail hour, the celebration continued inside for the reception. It was a total blast. From a heartfelt first dance to a crazy dance party, every guest was all in on making the night unforgettable. The vibe was fun, joyful, and full of laughter. Exactly how a reception should be.

One of the most special moments? Liz + Aiden shared a private last dance, just the two of them. And as the evening came to a close, they pulled each other close. It was a perfect quiet moment between the two of them before the night ended. Then, surrounded by all their favorite people, they had the most magical sparkler exit, walking through a tunnel of light and love into their next chapter of their love story. 

From the romantic garden ceremony and the soft spring color palette, to emotional moments with family and an unforgettable reception, this wedding was the perfect representation of everything a Houston garden wedding should be. It was heartfelt and full of joy.

Liz + Aiden, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your story. Your day was pure magic from start to finish, and it was such a joy to document every moment. Here’s to a lifetime of spring days, golden hours, and slow dances just for two.
