I've been thinking lately about why couples almost never request black and white photos leading up to their wedding. They want things to look real, not like some stiff, over-produced editorial where everyone looks like they’re holding their breath. They mention the light. They mention candid moments that capture the feel and atmosphere of the day.
Read MoreAs a San Antonio wedding photographer team we have photographed weddings where the guest list barely reached ten people and weddings where the dance floor looked like a concert by the end of the night. After more than 200 weddings across Texas and beyond, one thing has become incredibly clear to us. The size of a wedding never determines how meaningful it feels.
Read MoreA few months after a wedding, we’ll sometimes get a message from a couple that says something simple but meaningful.
“We didn’t realize how much these would mean to us.”
Read More“We’re awkward in photos.”
“We have no idea what to do with our hands.”

We had photographed heirlooms passed down through generations and brand new pieces chosen just weeks before a wedding day.

As a team focused on San Antonio wedding photography, we get asked this more often than you might think. Not what it looks like, but what it actually feels like to be there, to move through the day, to experience it as it unfolds.
