Austin Bridal Session - Waterfalls, Riverside, and Sunset Portraits for
Bridal Session along the Colorado River in the Texas Hill Country
Seeing 100s of bridal sessions over the years, Stephanies truly stands out as one of the Best Bridal Sessions of all time. Her beauty is an obvious reason for that, but more so, her bridal look was uniquely hers. Her gown, makeup, hair, bouquet, and complete bridal ensemble were not overly stand-out and certainly not “wild.” But together, her look was one of a kind and classic in a way that has stayed with us for years. If you are looking for outdoor bridal glam inspiration, then Stephanie’s bridal session at Shiraz Garden on the Colorado River is your Pinterest-worthy bridal inspiration!
The stitched pattern on her sleek gown created an immediately eye-catching dynamic look. The beads and stitches created a geometric shape and design on her wedding gown, giving her outdoor look the perfect touch of glittery and shape against the natural beauty of Shiraz Garden. A beaded gown for an outdoor wedding can be a delicate choice. Brides don’t want to lose the effortlessness of an outdoor wedding, but some want just enough beading for a dramatic look that compliments the day. Stephanies beaded geometric wedding dress did just that.
And the CAPE.
You can’t reminisce on this gorgeous session without remembering the reaction when she pulled out these sleeves that created the most amazing capped bridal look.
If you are considering a bridal cape, rather than a veil, this is your sign to go with your intuition! Your wedding style should be nothing less than what makes you happiest.
The silhouette of this beaded gown was stunning against the backdrop of the Hidden Staircase. Something about the lines on the gown perfectly complimented the lines of the staircase and the water flow to create stunning images here. The Hidden Staircase is a must-have photo spot for weddings, and photo shoots at Shiraz Garden. We do host brides getting married at other venues for their Bridal Portraits only here at Shiraz Garden — you can see our Hill Country Bridal Session info here.

Stephanie took full advantage of Shiraz Gardens’ forested areas, the River Amphitear, Mohana Outlook, Sunset Vista, and more. By choosing a Shiraz Garden Recommended Photograph Team — Main Squeeze Photography — she was able to let loose and spend a gorgeous evening soaking in her bridal look and getting to know her photographers. Plus, she could take her time and not rush through the small spaces. Like taking a moment to fully get the gorgeous photos in from the antique gates at the Formal Garden, which most brides miss!
BOHO BRIDE WITH CLASSIC BRIDAL BOUQUET OF DEEP PURPLE DETAIL AND WHITES
The deeper colors in her bouquet against the light and whites of her flowers created an elegant bridal bouquet. Something about the deeper purple running through that elevated her look to a classic, iconic style. A bridal bouquet can do that in so many ways. Your flowers and the structure of our bridal bouquet are major elements to completing your bridal look. A loose or wild-bunk style bouquet will echo your “wild and free” personality, as much as a compact and rounded bouquet will nod to your love for classic or modern design.
