If you ever want to learn more about yourself, listen to someone interview you on a podcast.  Things you never think of come up.  Like, I am definitely a behind the scenes person, and I don't tend to get in front of the camera to be the star of the show.  However, I do bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my craft in portrait photography and video production.  I was recently interviewed by Erika Perez on the Bridal Buzz podcast.  Check it out;

Dancing in September at The Club at Garden Ridge | Katie + David

October 22, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Catherine & David met in geometry class during summer before their sophomore year in high school.  Little did they know, they had just met their soul mate they would eventually fall in love and forever go through life learning together.  Seven years later on New Year's as the clock struck midnight, and the fireworks began to sprinkle over the Hayes Street Bridge,  David got down on one knee, reached into his camera bag and pulled out a ring.  As always their entire family was there to witness an amazing moment.  It was important to them that they be able to witness their wedding.

They had to change their wedding date once, to ensure David's brother would be able to travel to be there for the wedding, and then the COVID pandemic put us all in limbo.  As we got closer to the wedding date, Katie worked with her vendor team to ensure we would be able to pull off a safe, beautiful and fun event to bring their families and close friends together for such an important and momentous occasion.  Masks, sanitizer, and social distancing practices were all implemented to ensure we would have a safe event.

San Antonio Wedding with Rosa and Victor Garcia

August 05, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Plans were made, and then they were adjusted, and then they were rescheduled, and adjusted again.  In these COVID times, we must be flexible.  Rose and Victor had been planning their wedding for eighteen months.  However, their wedding day could not have been more perfect, even though the party has been postponed until next year.  They celebrated the sacrament of marriage at St. Leo The  Great with their close friends and family supporting them with love on July 25, 2020.  It was a beautiful, safe and socially distanced Catholic Mass wedding.  As Victor was getting ready, he selected a song to play as they exited the church so he would have his first dance with his beautiful bride and all their friends and family around to witness.  He knew he had found the perfect song, when he broke down in tears.  She was so surprised, and the moment was magical.

After the ceremony we headed downtown to the riverwalk behind the Tobin Center for bridal party photos.  We love capturing large bridal parties having fun, and on this day we got some extra dramatic wind for our photos since Hurricane Hanna was just blowing through the area.  By special request we also got some epic portraits of Rose and Victor in the theater district.  I love a good dramatic bride and groom portrait, and these two lovely people were such a pleasure to capture!

I cannot wait to celebrate these two as they intended.  The champagne will flow and the dancing will be epic.  But until then, I wish Mr. & Mrs. Garcia all the best in their marriage and happy ever after!

Happily Ever Althaus | Two gorgeous brides at Granberry Hills

July 06, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Candi and Jessica were married on SuperBowl Sunday at Granberry Hills in San Antonio, Texas. Their wedding was absolutely perfect for them, with all their supportive family and friends showing so much love. The couple met at an ACTS Retreat five years ago, and in many ways they felt God had brought them together to walk through life showing love to each other and to all those around them.  See their story here.  

 

This wedding was even more fun, because the couple competed in and won the very first Battle of the Rings grand prize of catering by Heavenly Gourmet. We of course filmed and photographed that event, and it was a great way to meet this amazing couple for the first time and get to know their personalities.  I was so excited to be able to work with them again as we planned their bridal portraits and wedding.  See the film and some of our favorite pictures from their wedding day.
