Proposal at Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg: A Hill Country Day Trip

Justin reached out to us about planning a proposal for Cusandra in Fredericksburg, and we were glad to be part of it. A pumpkin patch was his first idea.

Private After-Hours Proposal at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Antonio

We have photographed a number of proposals at the Japanese Tea Garden, and each one has its own character. This one was different because Joshua and Aspen did not share the garden with anyone.

A Surprise Proposal at The Grotto: A New San Antonio Riverwalk Location Guide

Hemisfair 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.

Trinity University: A San Antonio Location Guide for Engagement Photos and Surprise Proposals

Trinity 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.
