Monica thought the trip was about her aunt. She and Alejandro had driven in from Mexico with a few days planned around a visit, the kind of trip built around family rather than anything else. What she did not know was that Alejandro had been planning something else entirely, and it was happening the very next morning.
Read MoreMost of the planning conversation happens before the wedding: what time the ceremony starts, who's in which photo, how the day will flow. Less gets said about what happens after, once the day is actually over and you're waiting to see it. Here's how that part works.
Read MoreIf you want your wedding day surrounded by actual gardens instead of rented greenery, the Pavilion at Carleen Bright Arboretum in Woodway, just outside Waco, is worth a look. The arboretum sits on sixteen acres, with eight acres of landscaped botanical gardens wrapping the event space, and it's become one of the more requested garden-style venues in Central Texas.
Read MoreHemisfair Park sits just off the Riverwalk, close enough to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center that most people walking past assume it is only a stop between conference halls. Tucked into the park, though, is The Grotto: a shaded waterfall feature that most visitors to downtown San Antonio never find. It is where Nolan proposed to Kelly on a late afternoon in August, around 3pm, with the sound of the water covering most of the conversation until the moment itself.
Read MoreMost couples in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country book their wedding photographer 9 to 14 months before their wedding date. If your date falls in peak season, or you have your heart set on a popular venue, booking closer to the 12-14 month mark gives you the best shot at getting who you actually want.
Read MoreTrinity University sits on a hill above downtown San Antonio, and the campus has a scale to it that a lot of city locations do not. Wide lawns, red brick buildings with clean modernist lines, courtyards that open and close as you move through them. It is a place built for walking and lingering, which happens to be exactly what an engagement session or a proposal needs.
Read MoreTucked into Monte Vista, Landa Library does not announce itself the way some of San Antonio's better known photo spots do. There is no ticket line, no crowd angling for the same shot. It is a neighborhood library, small and unassuming, and that is exactly what makes it work so well for a proposal or an engagement session.
Read MoreFor years, our Nikon Z6 files went through the same process after every wedding. We'd edit them to emulate Kodak Portra, chasing that warm, filmic color that the camera didn't quite give us straight out of the box. It worked, and a lot of the images you've seen from us over the years came from that process. But it was still a workaround, an extra step between what the camera captured and what we actually wanted the photo to look like.
Read MoreWilson and Jillian live in Fort Worth, which meant most of this proposal came together long distance. But the location was never really in question. Jillian's mother and father both went to the University of the Incarnate Word, and that connection was the whole reason Wilson wanted to propose there instead of somewhere closer to home.
