This week has been one that I will never, ever forget! The Shoot Crawl at @elkinsestate will go down in history as one of my most favorite editorial events we’ve ever done. From concept to execution and every design detail, logistical spreadsheet and late nights in between .. it was all brought to life in the most magical way. Seeing something you pour your heart & soul into come to fruition in the most perfect way is a level of satisfaction I can’t explain. 

4 full styled shoots, headshots, portrait stations, an amazing team of vendors and 200 photographers loving it all = one very thankful and overly grateful Heather! 

Here’s a peek at just one of the shoots from this week. Can we say SWOON! 🥰

There’s something about bringing a vision to life like this that never gets old for me.

From the first spark of an idea to the final images you see here, these luxury editorials are more than just “pretty shoots.” They’re built with intention, with heart, and with a deep love for creating something that feels elevated, immersive, and meaningful.

Planning and executing these experiences is truly one of my greatest passions. Every detail is considered. Every element has a purpose. And getting to watch it all come together in real time… it’s the part I’ll never take for granted.

To the incredible vendors who poured their talent into this, THANK YOU! Your artistry, your trust, and your commitment to the vision is what makes this level of work possible. It’s an honor to create alongside people who care this deeply.

And to everyone who attends, supports, shows up, and believes in what we’re building here, this doesn’t exist without you. Your presence, your energy, and your willingness to be part of something bigger means more than you probably realize.

What do you think? Do you love this one or do you loveeee this one?! I don’t think I’m getting over this one for a really long time!

🎉2016 🎉
Phew - what a year!! I just went on a trip down memory lane and what a treat to reminisce on such a special time in my life & career. For me — the highlights of 2016 included…

- Creating styled shoots for 7 magazine covers among many other shoots that were featured in several publications (!!!)
- Hosted “Pretty & Published” styled shoot workshops - which eventually led to the idea of SSAA!
- Heather Benge Events planned 24 amazing couples wedding days — I kinda miss this!
- Won lots of Industry awards — y’all remember when this was a thing?!
- Taught the “Wedding & Event Planning” class at our local community college - just call me Professor Heather!
- Spoke on stages across the country including the Wedding MBA in Vegas and David Tutera’s traveling expo - the start of many amazing relationships with lots of industry experts!
- Worked with the amazing Madera Estates team - a favorite time in my career seeing the venue side of the industry!

Most of all - where we’ve been is a road map to where we are going and without 2016 and all of it’s fabulousness I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing today!

What is your favorite memory from 2016?? by @heatherbengeofficial

Just found this in my camera roll from a few years ago and it makes me laugh! Social media is a highlight reel and 9 times out of 10 it doesn’t show the whole story. We’re all real humans with real lives doing the best we can with what we have. These images are a perfect example…. I was working on flat lay examples for a class I was teaching that year and while the outcome of the flat lays were absolutely beautiful swipe to see my REAL life behind the scenes. 

I see you — mom of mutilples working on every nap break to make your dream a reality. 

I see you - full time employee putting in all the hours on the weekends to build your own business.

I see you - starting from scratch and spending countless dollars and time on education and trail & errors to make your craft a career. 

So…. don’t compare yourself to what you see online, it’s probably not the whole picture!! by @heatherbengeofficial

It’s been awhile, friends - allow me to re-introduce myself! 

Hi! I’m Heather - mama of 3, wedding industry expert, Disney adult, and lover of all things pretty + practical. From styled shoots to kids clothes, I’m all about curating beauty and a bit of magic in everything. I design dreamy editorials by day and scroll lifestyle reels by night — sharing it all as I try to turn that one viral video into something a little bigger. Basically, I’m a multitasking mama with big dreams and spit up stains. 

Since you can find my portfolio of shoots over at @styledshootsacrossamerica, this page will be the “real and raw” me…. featuring my favorite people, places and things one iPhone picture at a time!! 

Welcome to my world — it’s a little chaotic, but full of heart.

Our newest (and final!) addition is here!  Sweet baby boy, Levi Tate, made his debut in this great big world 2 weeks ago today and I realized I never shared here. He and I are both doing great, just adjusting to life with 3 kids. We are so blessed by this little IVF miracle. ❤️ taken in Orlando, Florida by @heatherbengeofficial

We’ve had the absolute BEST time making magic this week with 150 photographers and more than 60 vendors and models coming together for our Shoot Crawl at Bella Collina! I’m always left speechless as I just admire everything falling into place for the most perfect event that we spend months and months preparing for. I remember when I dreamed of this life and here I am living my dreams out loud! I am so beyond THANKFUL for each and every person who continues to support us, work with us and believe in us to create the most beautiful editorials you’ve ever seen! I have SO much to share over the next few weeks so buckle up for content overload but for today I’m going to take a reallyyyyy long nap. 🩷🩷

It’s safe to say I’m obsessed with this little girl! Our newest addition to the family, sweet Nora Blaire Benge. Sorry not sorry if this page becomes nothing but photos of my adorable kids from now on 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️
