Every 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 MoreEvery engagement session starts with the same question: where should we shoot? Over the years we've photographed couples across San Antonio and the Hill Country, and we've come to believe the location matters less than the two people standing in it. 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 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.
Read MoreLa Cantera sits high above the Texas Hill Country, and that elevation shapes everything about how a wedding day unfolds there. We've now photographed two very different celebrations on this property, one a full evening celebration with sunset vows and golden hour portraits, the other a smaller gathering built around an outdoor dinner and quiet sunset light. Both days looked nothing alike. Both were unmistakably La Cantera.
Read MoreCouples who choose the Texas Hill Country for their wedding are usually looking for the same thing; somewhere that feels real. Not a backdrop, not a stage set, but a place with its own character that the wedding gets to inhabit. Camp Lucy's Vineyard is that kind of place, and it is one of the few venues in the Dripping Springs area where the setting does as much work as anything the couple brings to it.
Read MoreWe have photographed at the McNay across multiple contexts: a full wedding, an elopement session, proposals, and engagement sessions on the grounds. Each time, the venue brings something that is difficult to create elsewhere. The Spanish Colonial Revival mansion, the 23 acres of manicured grounds, the art collection inside, none of it feels like a backdrop. It feels like a place that was built with intention, and that intention carries through into everything that happens there.
Read MoreThere are venues that beg you to dress the space, and there are venues that do the work for you. Hotel Emma is the second kind.
Situated in the Pearl District along the northern reach of the San Antonio River, Hotel Emma occupies the 19th-century historic Pearl brewhouse that was never fully scrubbed of its past. The exposed brick, the vintage brewery tanks standing sentinel in the Elephant Cellar, the ivy climbing the open courtyard walls — none of it was staged. It was already there, already telling a story. For couples who care about that kind of authenticity, there may not be a more natural fit in San Antonio.
