Marcella and Diego’s wedding, photographed a few weeks ago, was both intimate and beautiful. It began at their home in the historic Monte Vista area of San Antonio, Texas. The wedding ceremony occurred at St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Catholic Church, followed by a candlelit dinner reception at Hotel Emma’s Supper. I love fall weddings as the light is gorgeous, and the lower sun in the sky, yes, even in hot Texas, aids shadows and light perfectly for images.

Here are a few of my favorite moments from their special day.

It's one of my favorite shots. The story behind this picture, if anyone’s interested….I had my second shooter making sure we got the shot from the front- in the bag. Fortunately, there’s a bridge near the venue, so I had this shot planned in my mind with my fingers crossed it might work. I do this for many shots I know are covered by the second shooter. I don’t stage or direct couples, so that’s my work's fun and challenging aspect. I hope I can make unique and exciting juxtapositions - but of course, you never know if it will work. This one did, thankfully. Shot with a Leica M240 + 50mm Noctilux.

Fave wedding image 2023

This is my favorite wedding image of 2023. It's not a picture of a bride or a groom. Ha! Kids are kids and I feel the joy of life when I look at this one. This image encapsulates everything I love about photography.
