Fall Wedding at Paniolo Ranch with Cy and Alyson
It is so wonderful when you can really feel the personalities of the couple in the style, feel and ambience of their wedding day. Cy and Alyson chose the Central Texas Bed and Breakfast and wedding venue, Paniolo Ranch as the perfect location for their outdoor ceremony. The bridal suite alone, which overlooks the rolling hills of the cattle-lined ranch is such a fabulous reason to get married there. The couple are major foodies and decided to have their favorite Food Truck cater the wedding dinner as well as a salsa bar for their guests to munch as they danced the night away. I love that the resident cat weaved her way in and out of the rock benches during their ceremony. As Alyson walked down the aisle she exclaimed how happy she was to have her closest friends and family around her during this special moment. Congratulations to Cy and Alyson! Leave them some love below in the comments!!!

Video: Ina's Bridal Photoshoot at Southwest School of Art
My first time meeting Ina Minjarez was at her bridal photoshoot at Southwest School of Art on a warm September afternoon. I was blown away by her grace, poise and beauty, and I loved her elegantly ruched taffeta wedding gown with bell train. Southwest School of Art offers an amazing location for a bridal session, with large vaulted ceilings, historic stained glass and magnificent chandeliers. The addition of a stone open air patio leading up to a Gazebo overlooking the San Antonio Riverwalk also adds a perfect outdoor setting for this location. Watch the video with some of my favorite images from her photoshoot!

Engagement Photoshoot at Marquardt Ranch
For some couples, an engagement photoshoot can be a little nerve-wracking. When your photographer can find the light, put you there and give you something romantic to do, you have a winning situation! For Tess and Mark, I set up the scene: golden sunset, picnic basket, wine, and a little mosquito repellent! Check out the video of their Marquardt Ranch engagement session:
We loved working with Tess and Mark and cannot wait to shoot their wedding at Marquardt Ranch in the spring! Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

The advantage to having a first look prior to your ceremony is you are fresh and photo ready along with your bridal party. You can schedule this time to have a few daytime portraits made with your bridal party, and then you don't have to miss too much time enjoying your cocktail hour directly after the ceremony.
