Bolner Wedding Highlights - The St. Anthony Hotel - San Antonio, TX
“What came home the semester after wasn’t the Andrew that left before. He had changed, wearing a felt cowboy hat, a belt buckle the size of a billboard, and the boots from North Star Mall. What happened? Who was this girl?” Andrew and Madeline are two of the most fun, funny, and outgoing people you’ll ever meet. But behind the fun exterior are two very sentimental, very in love people, who deeply value their friends and family. The bigness of the day was filled with so many small, emotional moments between each other, their parents, their siblings, and their friends. Led by the always wonderful Elegant Events team at the historic St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio, this classically beautiful design was straight out of a fairytale. The night ended in the most epic dance party led by Intensity Bands. It was truly a “Bolner’s Fiesta” to remember!

Bolner Wedding Teaser - The St. Anthony Hotel - San Antonio, TX
Decided I wanted to start the week off right with a preview of the Bolner wedding! (Or should I say, Bolner Fiesta?) I’m not sure I’ve ever shot such a fun couple with the most fun friend group. Madeline and Andrew are the life of the party and this party was tough to beat! Cheers to the Bolners!

Dodds Wedding Highlights - San Antonio Country Club - San Antonio, TX
It only takes a few minutes around Lane and Natalie to see that they’re the type of couple that’s going to keep each other laughing for years to come. Despite the rainy weather (which I truthfully still find beautiful!), they kept each other smiling and had the best attitudes throughout the day. There was such a beautiful atmosphere of love and support from their friends and family, and you could tell at the end of the day that these two complement each other so well. The night ended with an epic dance party, and I think I could’ve watched these two on the dance floor all night! Congrats to the Dodds!

Bays Wedding Highlights - Jack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe - San Antonio, TX
When I saw Jordan on her wedding day, one of the first things she told me was that I looked pretty. On HER wedding day, she was making me feel so special and seen. That’s the type of person and friend Jordan is to others, and part of the reason I know Jake is so special too. Their relationship formed from online chats while Jake was stationed overseas in the military, and they quickly fell in love when they finally met in person. And it totally makes sense. They are both passionate, caring people who stand up for what they believe in, and fight for what they believe is right.
When I heard Jordan’s stunning poem that she had written as part of her vows, I immediately knew that it needed to be incorporated into their video in some special way. Getting the chance to stretch some creative muscles and try to create a moment in their video that was slow and beautiful and poetic was so rewarding. Jordan and Jake’s love for each other just feels so authentic and deep, I loved the chance to be a part of their day. Congrats to the Bays!
