This past Fall we documented a proposal at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, and it reminded us why this is one of our favorite places in the city for exactly this kind of moment. The garden was designed with distinct sections, each with its own character, which gives a charm that is enchanting and unique.
Read MoreEvery wedding we photograph is captured in color. The black-and-white images a couple eventually sees are not shot that way in the moment. They are chosen that way afterward, during editing, once we can look at the full day and decide which photographs are actually about color and which ones are about something else.
Read MoreLast week we photographed an engagement session for Frances and Jhean, whose wedding is coming up later this year. Their session took place at two of the spots where their wedding will unfold: Hotel Valencia, where they'll get ready, and San Fernando Cathedral, where they'll say their vows. Since the day was about capturing great content for their wedding website and invitations, we joined up with Chris Ramey of Made In Texas Productions, their videographer, to walk the spaces and set the stage ahead of the big day.
Read MoreWe've spent a lot of time at the San Antonio Botanical Garden over the years, mostly for weddings, but the same qualities that make it work for a ceremony make it one of our favorite spots for engagement and bridal sessions too. It's rare to find one location with this much range in a single afternoon: palm and cycad groves, open lawns, formal gardens, and quiet wooded paths, all within a short walk of each other.

Still, the right setting gives a session atmosphere. It sets the pace, the light, the mood.
Read MoreSome venues ask a photographer to bring energy to the day. JW Marriott Hill Country asks the opposite. It's a resort built for people who want to slow down, and that shapes how a wedding day unfolds here more than almost anything else about the property. We've now photographed two weddings on this property, each different in size and rhythm, and both shaped by that same unhurried quality.
Read MoreWe spent a Saturday evening in July at Contra/Common in Bee Cave, documenting the opening reception for "Shifting Terrain," a two-person exhibition from San Antonio painter Kristina Salinas and her mentor, Thomas Crowther. Kristina and her husband, Simon, asked us to cover the night, and we said yes without hesitation.
Read MoreMost couples searching for a Waco wedding photographer run into the same wall the San Antonio search produces: a lot of talented photographers, a lot of polished portfolios, and no clear way to tell who actually knows this city versus who's willing to drive here for a booking.
Read MoreBefore Meghan and Patrick said their vows at Crystal Bridges, their morning started somewhere just as memorable: 21c Museum Hotel in downtown Bentonville. If Crystal Bridges is where the ceremony happens, 21c is where the day actually begins, and it turns out to be one of our favorite settings in Northwest Arkansas for exactly that reason.
