I absolutely adored my September bride, Sara as we prepared for her wedding day!  She was so genuinely excited to be getting married to her handsome groom Ray, and I enjoyed capturing that joy from their engagement session to her bridal session, and finally to their beautiful September wedding day at Gardens At Old Town Helotes.

We started the day with a first look, a private moment between the bride and groom to see each other for the first time before they walked down the aisle.
