I met up with Catherine & Steve at the Japanese Tea Gardens near downtown San Antonio to capture some images to celebrate their engagement. Despite Steve suffering through all the kissing I made him do with Catherine – they managed to keep it together long enough to get some great shots!

After having so much fun shooting them in the park – I can’t wait for their spring wedding!

The cutest couple! This was a ‘rush’ session. She called me and wanted the session and the book before he took off since he wouldn’t be able to get her a mailing address for a few months. She is pregnant with their first baby and he will be deployed for the birth. Oh, and we had to include their pup Jake in the session!

E-Session – Will & Kirsten (Japanese Tea Gardens)

My 2nd shooter Eric and I had the fun opportunity to shoot some engagement pictures for the cutest couple! Will, who is in the military and stationed here in San Antonio set it all up for Kirsten’s Birthday weekend. Kirsten is finishing up school up in Kentucky so when we got together they hadn’t seen each other in 5 weeks!!!!

They were fun, playful and most of the shots we got were of them just being them (my favorite kinds of shots).

E-Session – Patti & Hoby (Japanese Tea Gardens)

Well, we did these kinda backwards.. I shot Patti’s bridals one weekend, her engagement the next weekend and their wedding the following weekend! But backwards or not – what a GREAT couple! Patti was worried that we wouldn’t be able to get Hoby to smile (since I hear he doesn’t like to have his photo taken)… But his smiles came easy and the love was evident when ever he looked at his beautiful bride-to-be, and we came away with many adorable and memorable photos that they will enjoy for a lifetime!

Thanks to Hoby for being such an agreeable subject!

This was the first time I have been to the newly renovated Japanese Tea Gardens (at Sunken Gardens near the San Antonio Zoo and Brackenridge park) and I am so glad I did! It’s not back to as lush as it used to be – but it is beautiful and is sure to get only better!
