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.

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.

There was no rush to get to the next thing, no audience waiting. Just the two of them, newly married, stepping into this next chapter with a quiet kind of confidence.
Read MoreThere are some wedding days that follow a plan from beginning to end, unfolding exactly as imagined. And then there are the ones that take on a life of their own, where the unexpected doesn’t interrupt the story but becomes the reason it is remembered so vividly.
