E-Session – Melanie & Michael

Melinda Ledsome — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:42:27 +0000

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!

Wedding – Geralyn & David

Geralyn & David got married at Granburry Hills. It was supposed to be outside in front of the gazebo, but it had been raining all day and so they moved the ceremony to under the covered patio. The ceremony was held inside the “barn”.. Which really isn’t a barn at all and is quite a beautiful room with windows down both long sides to let in all kinds of natural light.

This truly was a family affair! The Brides maids were the daughters, the groomsman was the son. Even the baby granddaughter was there!

The day started out with the Bride helping get her two daughters/bridesmaids ready:

Then Geralyn gets ready with help from 2 of her sisters..

The older daughter helped the younger one get ready..

Geralyn gets more help from her sisters..

The mariachis were waiting to announce the new couple and greet them with music!

The youngest daughter was on the dance floor all night!

E-Session – Catherine & Steve

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!

Wedding – Sam & Natasha

Melinda Ledsome — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 04:00:00 +0000

It was a hot August summer day here in San Antonio when Sam & Natasha said their I Do’s! But even with the heat, the bride was stunning and beautiful and the groom all smiles and handsome!

But before they headed out into the heat the guys got ready at a really cool little hotel called Aloft. Eric was over there getting shots of the guys getting ready, and got some great photos of them in the lobby and bar!

The wedding was at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. I love this part of the gardens – with its picturesque pond, trees and cabin in the woods. It made for the perfect backdrop to their ceremony.

OpLove – July 09

I met up with Lori on a beautiful morning at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. We were meeting up to do a photo shoot of her to send off to her deployed husband.

Lori is such a beautiful girl with a cute sweet personality… he is one lucky soldier!!

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.

OpLove – Maternity

Melinda Ledsome — Sat, 02 May 2009 22:08:00 +0000

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!

Fashion at the Euphorium

Melinda Ledsome — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:02:00 +0000

Met up with my friend and hair stylist Sam for a day long fashion shoot! Sam is an instructor at Toni & Guy and wanted some of his fellow co-workers to get some experience at a photo shoot. So he set this up with the folks from Vintage House Clothing and the Euphorium Salon.
