Some wedding days feel loud and fast from the moment they begin. Others unfold more gently, like they’re in no rush to prove anything. Kimberly and Donald’s wedding at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country—hosted at the Sunday House—was very much the second kind.
Read MoreSome wedding venues feel impressive the moment you arrive. Others reveal themselves more slowly. La Cantera Resort does both. There is an immediate sense of polish and intention when you drive onto the property, but what really stands out is how seamlessly luxury is woven into the experience. Nothing feels overdone. Everything feels considered. Liz and Josh’s wedding fit that rhythm perfectly, especially with how intentionally they chose to celebrate their day.
Read MoreWe’ve lost count of how many times we’ve been standing quietly at the back of a ceremony space, cameras ready, watching guests trickle in and thinking, Ah, transportation day. Not in a dramatic way—more in the way you recognize a familiar rhythm. The hum of a shuttle pulling up. A car door slamming a little too hard because someone’s late. The relieved laughter of guests who made it with time to spare and can finally breathe.
Read MoreEvery once in a while, we photograph a wedding day that feels like everyone collectively exhales the moment they arrive. Shoulders drop. Conversations slow down. Phones stay in pockets a little longer. Comfort, Texas has a way of doing that.
Read MoreMost of our favorite conversations with couples don’t happen on wedding days at all. They happen beforehand, usually over coffee or a video call, when nerves are still soft and excitement hasn’t yet turned into a full sprint. Somewhere in that conversation, almost without fail, a couple will say something like, “We’re a little awkward in front of the camera,” or, “We just don’t want the day to feel like a photoshoot.”
We always smile at that point, because

The kind that settles in your chest before you even realize it’s happening. We’ve photographed a lot of churches over the years—big city cathedrals, tiny country chapels, everything in between—but St. Mary’s in Fredericksburg has a way of slowing the moment down. And honestly, that’s one of the things we love most about it.
Read MoreWe’ve learned over the years that couples don’t choose a location just because it looks good in photos. They choose it because it feels like something. A place that reminds them of a trip they took together, or a season of life they want to remember forever. Sometimes it’s the place they met. Sometimes it’s the place they go when life gets loud and they need space to breathe. And sometimes, it’s simply the place that feels right in their hearts.
Read MoreWe didn’t notice it all at once. It wasn’t like one wedding suddenly flipped a switch and every couple after that asked about cigars. It was slower than that. Quieter. The kind of thing you only catch when you’ve been around long enough to notice patterns instead of trends.
Read MoreWe usually meet couples sitting across a small table, coffee cups between us, nerves and excitement mixed together in that way that only engagement seems to bring. Somewhere early in the conversation, almost without fail, one of you will say something like, “We just don’t want to feel awkward,” or “We really want our photos to feel real.” That’s usually when we smile at each other, because it opens the door to something we care deeply about—what it actually means to be inside a wedding as photographers, especially when we’re talking about San Antonio wedding photography.
