San Antonio Engagement Photography Sessions
RELAXED DOWN-TO-EARTH PHOTOGRAPHY
Looking for a San Antonio engagement photographer who can authentically document your love story? I’m Christian Margain, and I specialize in capturing relaxed, real, and heartfelt engagement photos that reflect your true connection. Whether we’re walking through the Pearl, chasing golden hour light at Cibolo Nature Center, or exploring the quiet charm of the King William District, your session will feel more like a fun date than a photo shoot.
What Makes My Engagement Sessions Different?
My approach is simple: no stiff poses or forced smiles. I believe the best engagement photography comes from real moments—genuine laughs, quiet glances, spontaneous hugs. Each session is guided by your comfort, energy, and personality. I’m there to document how you naturally connect, offering gentle direction only when needed to help you feel at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Location would you recommend for our shoot?
There are so many fantastic locations in San Antonio where we could do your shoot, and I’d be pleased to recommend several based on your characters/interests and what you’re looking for.
But first, I’d like to know whether you have any specific locations in mind for the shoot. Perhaps somewhere meaningful to you or somewhere you enjoy spending time as a couple.
What would you recommend we wear?
Wear something that makes you feel good. Wear shoes you’re comfortable walking around in for a number of hours, and bundle yourself warm if it’s cold. If you are uncomfortable throughout the shoot, it will not only be less fun, but it may also be shown in the images.
To avoid distracting your clothes from you in photos, avoid crazy patterns, big logos, and too much white (it reflects light and seems very shining in photos).
What if myself or my partner are uncomfortable in front of the camera?
You are not alone. Most people, including myself, feel the same way. I purposefully keep my approach relaxed and fun during engagement shoots to put you at ease. We could always have a short pint and chat before your engagement shoot if you’re feeling really worried. You would not be the first to do so 🙂
How long after our shoot will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive your photos within 10-15 working days after the shoot in your private online gallery.
What to Expect During Your Session
ON THE DAY, WE GO ON A WALK, LAUGH, AND PHOTOGRAPH THE TWO OF YOU BEING YOURSELVES. MAYBE WE’LL STOP FOR A COFFEE, A PINT, OR SOME ICE CREAM ON THE WAY. I’LL GIVE YOU SOME POINTERS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO DO, BUT IT’LL ALL BE VERY RELAXED WITH NO WEIRD POSING.
