E-Session – Melanie & Michael

I met up with Melanie & Mike in downtown San Antonio early Saturday morning to get some shots of the two of them. They are such a good looking couple… Aren’t they??

We started off around Hemisphere Plaza and then headed towards La Villita and then down to the River Walk for a bit. I’m glad we met up as early as we did since we ended up having most of the locations to ourselves. Towards the end of the shoot it started to get kinda busy and we’d have to wait a bit for the shots. But we got them!

I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next October – back down in La Villita!!

Wedding – Stephanie & Kristofer

I had the pleasure to work again with the amazing Austin photographer Tyler Schmitt. This time the venue was full of modern elegance – Biga On Tha Banks. Stephanie and Kristopher held an intimate ceremony with the reception on the 3rd floor. The venue has a great outdoor patio that overlooks the San Antonio River!

Pearl Market

I took a drive downtown to wander the new River Walk expansion and stopped for a few pics at the produce market at the old Pearl Brewery.. Seems purple was the color of the day!

These are from the San Antonio Museum Of Art and right around it.

Wedding: Cassandra & Vance (Marraige Island)

Cassandra contacted me this summer about covering their wedding. It was just going to be a short ceremony on Marriage Island (downtown on the San Antonio Riverwalk) and just the 2 of them. After talking for a while, I found out that they were coming all the way down from Minnesota, just to get married on our riverwalk! I thought that was too cool to pass up!

For them, the ceremony went off perfect and it was great that both sets of parents and Vances daughter were able to make it down as well… the more the merrier!

For me, the ceremony was slightly more painful.. lol The stones on Marriage Island aren’t set in very firm and (of course) I found the one stone that was loose and higher than the others and took quite a spill! Luckily all I ended up with was a good size bruise on my knee where I landed and I cracked a filter on my camera… Luckily it wasn’t enough to effect the functioning of the camera… but that is why a professional photographer always carries at LEAST two camera bodies to shoots! So with a small limp we finished the ceremony and got a chance to walk around and take a few good shots of them along the river.

Thanks for letting me capture this day for yall!!!

Wedding: Marla & Chris (Marriage Island)

Marla & Chris came over from Beaumont to San Antonio to get married on Marriage Island on the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio … which is a little bump off of the main walkway under a beautiful huge cypress tree.

Even though Marla kept telling me she wasn’t photogenic and never looks good in any photos. I thought she was absolutely gorgeous in her dress and had such a sweet big Texas smile…. but I have to admit, even though I liked the shots, that I was worried she would hate them all. I was quite relieved when I got the email back that she loved every photo!!! ~whew~

Chris was the typical groom.. a little tense and not wanting to smile at first. But after the short ceremony he loosened up and Eric and I caught him smiling in a few photos >;-)
