Wilson and Jillian live in Fort Worth, which meant most of this proposal came together long distance. But the location was never really in question. Jillian's mother and father both went to the University of the Incarnate Word, and that connection was the whole reason Wilson wanted to propose there instead of somewhere closer to home.
Read MoreThis past Fall we documented a proposal at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, and it reminded us why this is one of our favorite places in the city for exactly this kind of moment. The garden was designed with distinct sections, each with its own character, which gives a charm that is enchanting and unique.
Read MoreMeena had a short list of requirements, and none of them were negotiable. The spot had to be quiet. It had to feel somewhat private, not tucked away where getting Josette there would look suspicious, but private enough that the moment itself would not feel like it was happening in the middle of a crowd. It needed easy access, no long walks, no complicated logistics to explain away. And it needed to carry some of the charm that makes the Riverwalk what it is.
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.

Read MoreWhen it came time for us to choose our own, we thought we understood what mattered. We had seen so many versions of love expressed through metal and stone. We had photographed heirlooms passed down through generations and brand new pieces chosen just weeks before a wedding day. We had opinions, preferences, and what we thought was a clear sense of direction.
And then we started looking.
Read MoreThere is a certain kind of stillness in San Antonio just after sunrise, the kind that feels borrowed, as if the city has not quite decided to wake up yet. It is in those early hours that places like the Japanese Tea Garden feel entirely different. Softer. More intimate. Almost like they are meant for only a few people at a time.
Read MoreWe arrived at St. Louis Catholic Church in the afternoon, the air carrying that gentle warmth only a Texas spring can offer. Castroville, founded in 1844 by Henri Castro, still has the charm of a town that has held onto its roots. You can almost feel the stories in the air, and right at the center of it stands St. Louis Catholic Church. Its limestone walls and towering spire have watched over generations, quietly observing milestones that have shaped the lives of countless families. For Briggs and Jordyn, it was about to witness something brand new, a moment that would mark the beginning of their lifelong story together.
Read MoreWhen someone reaches out to us about San Antonio proposal photography, the conversations almost always begin the same way. There is excitement underneath the words, but also a careful hesitation. Someone has an idea. Someone wants it to feel meaningful. And almost always, someone wants to make sure the surprise stays intact.
