Weddings feel more personal when couples add details that show who they are. One fun way to do that is with a mobile drink bar. We’ve seen a lot of bar setups at San Antonio and Hill Country weddings, but The Thirsty Cowboy Bar always stands out. It’s a hit with guests and photographs well. It also saves space inside the venue, which most couples don’t think about until setup day.
Read MoreWhen we started photographing weddings, small guest lists were rare. Now, couples want something deeper. They want fewer people, less pressure, and more time to enjoy the day. We’ve seen it again and again — the quiet moments hit harder when the room isn’t full.
If you’re planning a micro-wedding in San Antonio or the Hill Country, you’re in a good place. This area is full of venues made for close-knit celebrations. From historic courtyards to vineyards with sunset views, there’s no shortage of beauty here.
Read MoreYou’ve got the ring, the date, and a Pinterest board full of ideas. But now what? Between finding a venue, booking vendors, and staying sane, it’s easy to feel lost in the planning fog.
After photographing more than 200 weddings across Texas, we’ve learned what actually helps couples plan a wedding day that feels calm, joyful, and true to them.
Read MoreThere’s something about a Texas Hill Country wedding that invites personality. Maybe it’s the oak trees, the big skies, or that easy, laid-back rhythm that says come as you are. And lately, couples have been taking that idea to heart — by adding a hat bar to their wedding day.
If you haven’t seen one yet, prepare to fall in love with this trend. We’ve photographed dozens of weddings around San Antonio and the Hill Country, and every time a hat bar appears, it becomes a highlight. Guests light up, cameras click nonstop, and everyone leaves with something they’ll actually keep — a hat that tells a story.
Read MoreYou don’t forget mornings like this. A calm, cool breeze. The sound of the river far below. The first glow of sunrise slipping over the edge of the cliffs at Lovers’ Leap. That’s where Chris got down on one knee and asked Layla to marry him.
We’ve photographed hundreds of proposals, but this one had its own quiet beauty. No crowd. No pressure. Just two people and a view that stretched for miles.
Read MoreElizabeth and Joseph’s wedding at Paniolo Ranch was spread over two beautiful days in the Texas Hill Country. It was full of laughter, quiet moments, and the kind of joy that only happens when people slow down and soak it in.
Paniolo Ranch sits just outside of Boerne, overlooking wide open hills and oak trees. It’s peaceful and private—perfect for couples who want a stress-free day surrounded by family, friends, and nature. As San Antonio wedding photographers, we’ve seen a lot of venues, but few offer the mix of views and calm that Paniolo does.
Read MoreThere’s a reason photographers can’t stop talking about golden hour — it’s that quiet moment when the day slows down, the light turns to gold, and everything just feels right. Guests are laughing, the band’s warming up, and the sky outside? Pure magic.
We’ve photographed golden hours all across Texas, but San Antonio sunsets have their own kind of drama. The Hill Country light has this way of wrapping everything in warmth — from limestone chapels to vineyard hillsides. It’s cinematic, romantic, and fleeting — but not impossible to plan for.
Read MoreThere’s something magnetic about downtown San Antonio at sunset — the way the light hits the Tower of the Americas, the sound of fountains splashing in Hemisfair Park, and the subtle hum of the city all coming alive. For us, it’s a place where we’ve seen countless love stories begin, and every single one feels brand new.
This one was Dylan + Andrea’s.
He’d been planning for weeks. Every text and phone call had that tone we know well — part excitement, part nerves, part “how do I make this absolutely perfect?” And honestly, that’s our favorite kind of call to get.
Read MoreIf there’s one thing that can make or break a photo—other than composition—it’s light. Light shapes everything: mood, depth, and even emotion. It can turn a simple moment into something cinematic or, if handled poorly, make it look like a middle school dance in a gymnasium.
We’ve photographed hundreds of weddings across San Antonio and the Hill Country, and one lesson has stayed with us through every sparkler exit and late-night dance floor moment: the right light tells the right story.
