3 Things NOT to Cut From Your Wedding Budget

 

3-thing-to-not-cut-from-your-wedding-budget_san-antonio-photographer-7

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur”

According to Business Insider, the average wedding cost in the US is $33,391. You might say “There’s no way, I’ll spend that much on my wedding” – then find yourself stressing a few weeks later as the costs start adding up. All of a sudden you catch yourself saying “Ok what can I cut out”. Cutting things out can be liberating but it’s SOOOO important to remember, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur”.  Also, this is so cheesy and I hate saying it but the truth is, “You get what you pay for” and believe me- 99% of the time it’s not in a good way. But have no fear! We are here to help you! Below are 3 things you should definitely not cut out of your wedding budget.

Fine Art Mom/Daughter Portraits – San Antonio, TX. Photographer

Last month, we had the honor of documenting these two beautiful women. A mother battling a rare form of cancer and her daughter soaking up every minute with her mother. We have had the privilege of photographing Marlynne’s family these last few years and it has been a pleasure getting to know her family. Marlynne’s mother in law, Peggy had contacted us a few weeks prior, she wanted to do something special for the two of them. She knew Herminia would be taking another chemo treatment soon and wanted to gift them a special mother/daughter session.

An Engagement Session at Hemisfair Park and Yanaguana Garden

A ROMANTIC ENGAGEMENT SESSION & PROPOSAL RE-ENACTMENT IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

We just love our couples! When Sarah & Ian came over for their wedding consultation, I couldn’t believe we had been chatting for over 2 hours. I love how they are so outgoing and easy to talk to, when you talk to them it’s like talking to a friend you have known for years. Ian is such a fun storyteller. We enjoyed hearing their love story, from how they met to how he proposed to their wedding plans – when they are together, you can clearly see that they are soulmates.

Senior Portraits – San Antonio Fiesta Style

Fiesta themed Senior Portraits_San Antonio TX Senior Photographer 12

Hello April! It’s Fiesta Time in San Antonio!!

 

April is here and you know what that means, it means springtime, graduation, and senior portraits. And if you live in San Antonio or South Texas for that matter, April means FIESTA!!!! Because the Strawberry Festival is this coming weekend and that’s the event that kicks off Fiesta I thought I’d share this Fiesta inspired high school senior portrait session. We love themed sessions and love that our seniors have so much fun with us at sessions. They put up with our corny jokes and we get to learn what’s “hip” at the moment. Oh god- now I feel old! Melanie was one of senior models last year when she was a junior at Clemens High School (you can see those photos here). It was so nice to work with her again for her official Senior photos this year. She’s such a sweet girl with a huge heart and such a fun and spunky personality! Oh, and did I mention the girl is in theater at Clemens- and can seriously do an outfit change in less than a minute- we love her!!!

Alex | Fashion and Cheerleading Senior Photos | San Antonio, TX. 

Can you believe graduation is almost here! I know it doesn’t really seem like it because January in San Antonio, TX. is absolutely crazy with this cold, but in just a little over 100 days graduation will be here and summer will soon torture us with its blistering heat! That also means that you have less than 100 days to get those Senior portraits done. Senior Portraits are some of our favorite sessions, so many gorgeous and talented young people just waiting to make a difference in this world! Senior year is such an important milestone in not only the student’s life but for the parents as well. These young minds are ready to embark on this journey to adulthood and for parents it’s seeing their baby growing up! We want to help you preserve these memories. We want to be able to capture the smile you have right now, the unique personality of each and every one of the Seniors we photograph is what makes our job so much fun. If you still need to book your senior session we still have a few dates available. Give us a call to ensure your date is reserved as we are almost completely booked through July and already booking the Class of 2019 fall sessions.
