Why we love engagement sessions | San Antonio Wedding Photographer

San Antonio Engagement Portraits_Cibolo Nature Center

Will and Brittany are getting married today!!! We can’t wait to capture all the sweet memories for them this afternoon-from Will’s face when he sees her for the first time to those awesome dance moves we all love to see at weddings. And from what I heard about Will’s bachelor party- I know it’s going to be so much fun!! 

I wasn’t sure who had more fun at their engagement session at Cibolo Nature Center in Boerne, TX. – us or Will & Brittany. Will had us laughing the entire time. He loves the camera and was ready to pose (See if you can spot his fun personality in the last photos below)! This is how we know it’s gonna be a fun day!!! And although though it started to rain on us – it still turned out to be a gorgeous evening!

Making a Military Couple’s Dream Wedding Come True this Christmas | San Antonio, TX. Wedding Photographer

Best of weddings_San Antonio_new braunfels_TX_photographer

We Donated A Wedding to a Military Couple

I was contacted about a month and a half ago by a sweet kindergarten teacher in Alaska to photograph an elopement at a park. She informed me that she had just gotten engaged a few days prior. Her fiance, who is serving in our U.S. Military here in San Antonio, had originally planned to propose to her when she came to visit San Antonio in December but he had just received information that he would be getting orders to an unknown location in March. He told her that he had planned to hire a photographer to capture the proposal but because of the recent news, instead of hiring a photographer to capture the proposal, what if he hired a photographer to capture them getting married instead?!! And so they decided to get married when she comes to visit him in December. Since she only had a little over a month to plan, she didn’t have anything – she didn’t even have her ring yet but she didn’t care- she said they were in love and they just wanted to get married! One thing was important to them and that was to have a photographer to capture the memory. Since Sam is retired from serving 22 years in the military and we love helping our fellow military families- I thought of the idea of gifting them the photography. But I felt a connection with this bride and something in me just wanted to make it a little more special. I called my friend, (and amazing wedding planner/stylist) Kelsea from Touch of Whimsy Design and Coordination and asked her for help and to see if this was possible just 2 days after Christmas. She said yes almost instantly!

Romantic Vineyard Engagement Portraits| San Antonio, TX.

 Jason & Mariana’s Engagement Session | Singing Water Vineyards, Comfort, TX.

Engagement Photos_Singing Water Vineyards_ San Antonio, TX. 1

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” – Aristotle

Romance can be a tricky thing to capture if you are an engagement/wedding photographer. Not one couple is alike and not all couples are comfortable letting true emotions show. Although I didn’t meet Mariana until after almost 8 months of knowing Jason, I felt like I knew her the entire time. [Read more…] about Romantic Vineyard Engagement Portraits| San Antonio, TX.

Riverwalk Proposal on Marriage Island, San Antonio, TX.

Riverwalk Proposal Marriage Island 2

How cute is this couple! I am getting nervous all over again just thinking about that day.  Last weekend’s Riverwalk proposal on Marriage Island was a first for us.  My good friend at 3.Feet.Tall sent me a random message last week asking if we would be interested in shooting a proposal, I automatically said Yes- how fun is that?!  Before I could finish telling Sam about it my phone rings and its Nick- he wants to know if we are available on Saturday- its a little short notice (and you guys know how I love to plan sessions weeks/months in advance to make it perfect) but we were actually available that day and I was so excited for him!  Right off the bat I could tell this guy was so sweet! He wanted everything to be perfect and although it wasn’t a planned session for us, I could tell he had been thinking about this for awhile.  He had done his research and knew exactly when, where and even what time he wanted to propose.
