We know how overwhelming planning a wedding can be. It happens so often when we are meeting a newly engaged couple for the first time; they’re excited, a little overwhelmed, and already apologizing for the number of questions they have about pricing. We laugh and tell them what we tell every couple. If you are not asking questions, you are probably doing it wrong.
Read MoreWe usually meet couples at our in-home studio, sometimes closer to where they live, sometimes over a video call when life is busy. Almost every time, the conversation starts the same way. They tell us how excited they are, how fast everything feels, and then, usually with a little laugh, they say they are not sure what they are supposed to do in front of the camera. That moment is where documentary style wedding photography really begins, even if they do not know the term yet.
Read MoreSome 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 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.
Read MoreSome weddings feel polished. Others feel personal. Brenda and Christian’s wedding at The Veranda managed to be both—and that’s harder to pull off than it looks.
Read MoreI still remember the warmth of that late October day in 2009. I had stepped away from weddings for a while, and Cassie and Brian’s small ceremony at the Marriott Plaza Hotel pulled me back in. It felt like a return to something I once knew well, but with a new way of seeing.
This was long before Michelle and I worked as a team. It was just me, a couple of digital cameras, having made the jump from film,, and my son, who joined me to help with lighting. He carried the light helped by aiming it wherever I pointed. It was a new style of wedding photography for me built around off-camera lighting.
Read MoreSmall weddings have a way of slowing things down. When you invite only the people who matter most, the day feels warm and honest. That’s what made Hina and Mark’s intimate wedding at Restaurant Claudine so special. It had heart. It had style. And it gave their closest friends and family a front seat to every moment.
