Pedernales Cellars is a special place for A.J. and McKenzie, as they have made so many memories spending time there with people they hold dear. We enjoyed shooting their engagement portraits as they opened a bottle of the Signature Tempranillo and took in the view of the rolling Texas Hill Country on a temperamental spring day. I've known A.J. his whole life and have always thought of him as a little brother. His charm and kind nature are a perfect fit for the sweet beauty that is McKenzie. They met working in the travel industry and they enjoy traveling to tropical destinations and cheering on the San Antonio Spurs!

I can't wait to see these two get married early next year. Enjoy this sweet vineyard engagement photoshoot!

Engagement at The Hotel Emma: Katia + Forrest

March 15, 2017 • Leave a Comment

We shot Katia and Forrest on a cloudy day at The Pearl in San Antonio and really focused on creating the feeling of an actual date with this young couple out on the town. Katia and Forrest met at work, and soon found themselves wanting to spend extra hours together. Their first date, Forrest admits he didn't make too much of an effort. They went to see a war movie at The Palladium, which is not the most romantic way to get to know each other better. Katia also gave Forrest a hard time for showing up in flip-flops! These two were destined to learn each other's love language. By the time Forrest was ready to propose, he knew the perfect setting and date to make his move. He made reservations at Piatti's and set the scene under an iron gazebo at Eîlan. You can see that spark between this beautiful young couple as they enjoy the culinary scene at Supper and then have a cocktail at The Hotel Emma. Those romantic first dates are what keeps a marriage blooming. May they have a lifetime of romantic dates after their wedding day in April!

Engagement Session at The Pearl San Antonio {JP + Erica}

March 01, 2017 • Leave a Comment

If it weren't for the help of a matchmaker couple, Erica and J.P. may never have found each other and fallen head over heels in love. They are so sweet together, that you have to feel grateful for the little miracles that have led to such a perfect union. I had the pleasure of photographing this cute couple, and capturing that look she only gives him, that smile she draws from him.

They chose The Pearl to shoot their engagement session. The urban, industrial architecture balanced with a rustic Texan atmosphere perfectly represents their lifestyle. When not working hard on their careers, J.P. and Erica enjoy exploring San Antonio and the surrounding Texas Hill Country, visiting vineyards and checking out the local culinary scene.

They plan to marry in Boerne, Texas next fall, and I can't wait to capture their beautiful wedding! Congratulations to J.P. and Erica!

New Year's Eve Wedding at Southwest School of Art

Drew and Nancy met in middle school and were always by each other's side as they grew into the strong young adults they have become. Drew proposed to Nancy on New Year's Eve in 2015, so it was only fitting that they would plan an elegant New Year's Eve Celebration to bring their family and friends together for their wedding at Southwest School of Art. Sparkly gold, berry and pink hues were used in the bride's bouquet, and reception decor. The bridesmaids all looked so beautiful and ready to bring in the New Year in their metallic gold gowns. This was a spectacular party and beginning of a new marriage, new beginning and new year. Congratulations to The Stocktons!
