Somewhere in that conversation we learned that Steve works for M&S Engineering. Royce knew the company well, having photographed for them back in 2011. A first meeting turned out to have an older thread running through it. We settled on eight hours of wedding day coverage and waited for the date to arrive.
Read MoreMost couples in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country book their wedding photographer 9 to 14 months before their wedding date. If your date falls in peak season, or you have your heart set on a popular venue, booking closer to the 12-14 month mark gives you the best shot at getting who you actually want.
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. But it was still a workaround, an extra step between what the camera captured and what we actually wanted the photo to look like.
Read MoreEvery 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 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 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 MoreEmiliano and Sofia made the drive from Houston with a few nights in San Antonio ahead of them. They had restaurants to try, things to see, the kind of easy trip that gives a couple a getaway form the stresses of work and responsibilities. Emiliano had something else in mind for one of those mornings, and he had been thinking about it for a while.
The Japanese Tea Garden was going to play right into that plan.
Read MoreMost couples start searching for a San Antonio wedding photographer the same way, they open a browser, scroll through a few websites, look at some galleries, and quickly realize that nearly every photographer they find seems talented. The images are beautiful. The websites are polished. The reviews are glowing. And yet none of it tells them what they actually need to know before making a decision that will shape how they remember one of the most significant days of their lives.
