3 Things NOT to Cut From Your Wedding Budget

“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.

Senior Portraits – San Antonio Fiesta Style

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!!!

Class of 2018 | Brandeis High School | San Antonio, TX. Senior Photographer

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.

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