Merry Christmas

So it’s close to Christmas and a good friend of mine took this photo for my wife and I. I went ahead and used the image to make a Hallmark Movie Poster in Photoshop. Enjoy!

Day Before San Antonio Snow

As you may know, here in San Antonio it never snows. So it was unusual to have such a cold front come our way. The day before the snowfall I was covering a beautiful wedding is freezing temperature. The couple was awesome and came out of their warm tent to do their first dance in a light rain.

San Antonio Wedding Photographer - Why its good to have a second photographer

This past New Years Day,  I had the privilege to shoot Jordan and Kelsey Schultz wedding at  beautiful Kendall Plantation. The wedding day was unbelievable with unexpected moments. Which brings me to having a second photographer. As the reception was in full swing, I overheard someone say the groom was going to do a flip. I shared the info with Anthony, my second and we got ready. As you can see I was in the wrong place but luckily Anthony was on point as always. Big props to Anthony Gauna for capturing this image.
