Cristina and Joshua San Antonio Engagement Photos

One of the things I love most about being an engagement photographer in San Antonio is getting to explore some of the most charming towns nearby—and Gruene, Texas is always at the top of my list.

For this engagement session, we headed to the historic streets and rustic scenery that make Gruene so magical. Cobblestone pathways, vintage storefronts, and those iconic water tower views all made the perfect backdrop for this sweet couple’s love story. There’s something about the pace and character of this town that naturally puts couples at ease—it’s like stepping into a little time capsule full of warmth and Texas charm.

As a photographer, I’m always looking for authentic, unscripted moments—those little in-between glances, quiet smiles, and spontaneous laughs. And this session had it all. From walking through the heart of town to relaxing by the river, every frame felt personal and timeless.

Whether you’re planning a wedding or just want to celebrate your love with a photo session, Gruene is an incredible place for engagement photos. The textures, light, and character of this location truly shine on camera.

Here are some of my favorite shots from this unforgettable session. If you’re looking for a San Antonio engagement photographer and want to capture your love in a place as special as Gruene, I’d be honored to help tell your story.
