Every once in a while, we photograph a wedding day that feels like everyone collectively exhales the moment they arrive. Shoulders drop. Conversations slow down. Phones stay in pockets a little longer. Comfort, Texas has a way of doing that.
Read MoreMost of our favorite conversations with couples don’t happen on wedding days at all. They happen beforehand, usually over coffee or a video call, when nerves are still soft and excitement hasn’t yet turned into a full sprint. Somewhere in that conversation, almost without fail, a couple will say something like, “We’re a little awkward in front of the camera,” or, “We just don’t want the day to feel like a photoshoot.”
We always smile at that point, because
Read MoreThere’s something about walking into St. Mary’s Catholic Church that makes people instinctively lower their voices. Not out of obligation, but out of reverence. The kind that settles in your chest before you even realize it’s happening. We’ve photographed a lot of churches over the years—big city cathedrals, tiny country chapels, everything in between—but St. Mary’s in Fredericksburg has a way of slowing the moment down. And honestly, that’s one of the things we love most about it.
Read MoreWe’ve learned over the years that couples don’t choose a location just because it looks good in photos. They choose it because it feels like something. A place that reminds them of a trip they took together, or a season of life they want to remember forever. Sometimes it’s the place they met.

Over the years, Michelle and I have photographed hundreds of weddings across Texas—from intimate hill country elopements to grand riverfront celebrations—and we’ve noticed a pattern: the weddings that feel truly unforgettable are the ones alive with energy. There’s a sense of momentum, of joy flowing through the guests, that no perfectly curated playlist can ever replicate. And that’s where live music comes in.
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.
