San Antonio is home, and I've been documenting weddings and the memories you'll cherish forever since 2015. With 400+ weddings behind me, from sunlit courtyards at Hotel Emma and grand ballrooms at the St. Anthony to golden-hour portraits in Texas Hill Country, I'll gently guide your day so you can let go of the stress and simply enjoy it. And yes, we're going to have so much fun along the way!

historic hotels to hill country estates
san antonio wedding venues i love
Whether you're planning a downtown celebration or a Hill Country wedding just outside the city, I'll help you make the most of your venue. Couples often bring me to historic downtown spots like Hotel Emma, the St. Anthony, the Pearl District, the Southwest School of Art and the Spanish missions, and to Hill Country favorites like Kendall Point in Boerne, Park 31, Stoney Creek, The Preserve at Canyon Lake, Chandelier of Gruene and so many others.
golden light, seasons & timing
planning your san antonio wedding photos
After more than a decade as a San Antonio wedding photographer, I've learned how our light and seasons shape a wedding day. Spring is gorgeous and busy, and if your date falls during Fiesta in April, we'll plan around downtown parades and traffic. Summer calls for shaded courtyard portraits and a golden-hour stroll once the heat softens, while fall and winter bring the softest light of the year and earlier sunsets that make an evening reception glow. I'll help you build a relaxed photo timeline around your venue and season, so you never feel rushed and every portrait feels like you.
Hi, I'm Jessica
Meet your photographer
Since 2015, couples have trusted me with one of the most meaningful days of their lives, and I've had the honor of photographing more than 400 Texas weddings. My work is romantic and joyful, with a refined, timeless feel: I capture the design details you curated with such care and the unscripted moments with the people you love, creating images meant to be passed down. I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so every couple has my full attention, from our first conversation to the day your gallery arrives.

step two.
Booking: You’re ready to book your wedding photography! I will send over a quote and contract to you so that you can reserve your date. A 33.3% non-refundable retainer and signed contract is required to book. Once booked, we will schedule any sessions you've chosen. Your date is not reserved until this step is complete and my availability is limited so please don’t delay here!
step three.
Engagement Session: I love engagement sessions because they give us a chance to work together before the big day! We will work through some posing in a way that feels natural, comfortable and authentic so that you feel prepared and confident for your photos on wedding day. It is such a joy to me when my couples come into their engagement session feeling uncertain and leave their session with confidence and excitement. After your session, you’ll have a whole gallery full of beautiful images to show off your engagement, delivered to your inbox within 2-3 weeks.
step four.
Wedding Day: The big day is here! After months of preparation and planning, now it’s time to sit back, relax and CELEBRATE with all your family and friends! It’s my goal to help the day go as smoothly as possible and to help you have the best day of your life. A wedding questionnaire that I’ll send you a month before your wedding will help give me all the important details including family photo lists and any priority photographs and you can expect a week-of email with important reminders to help you and your family best prep for a smooth and incredible wedding day.
step five.
Gallery Delivery: With a gallery of 35-40 sneak peek images delivered to you within 3-5 days after your wedding, you’ll have lots of images to share and relive your beautiful day. Your full wedding gallery will be ready within 6-8 weeks.
