Hemisfair Park and Tower of The Americas Proposal – Dylan + Andrea

There’s something magnetic about downtown San Antonio at sunset — the way the light hits the Tower of the Americas, the sound of fountains splashing in Hemisfair Park, and the subtle hum of the city all coming alive. For us, it’s a place where we’ve seen countless love stories begin, and every single one feels brand new.

This one was Dylan + Andrea’s.

He’d been planning for weeks. Every text and phone call had that tone we know well — part excitement, part nerves, part “how do I make this absolutely perfect?” And honestly, that’s our favorite kind of call to get.

When Elizabeth and Joseph told us they wanted their engagement session there, we couldn’t help but grin. It’s one of those spots that gives you endless creative possibilities and a golden sunset that feels tailor-made for love stories like theirs.

We knew exactly where to take them.
