Most couples in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country book their wedding photographer 9 to 14 months before their wedding date.

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.

They want things to look real, not like some stiff, over-produced editorial where everyone looks like they’re holding their breath. They mention the light. They mention candid moments that capture the feel and atmosphere of the day.
Read MoreAs a San Antonio wedding photographer team we have photographed weddings where the guest list barely reached ten people and weddings where the dance floor looked like a concert by the end of the night. After more than 200 weddings across Texas and beyond, one thing has become incredibly clear to us. The size of a wedding never determines how meaningful it feels.

“We didn’t realize how much these would mean to us.”
