Makela and Peter Wedding at Zaza Gardens San Antonio

Let’s be honest — keeping up with blogging and posting on social media is a full-time job on its own. Between editing, delivering galleries, and documenting beautiful moments, blogging sometimes falls behind. But some weddings are just too special not to share, even if it takes a little time.

Makela and Peter’s wedding was one of those unforgettable celebrations. They reached out to me almost a year in advance, and I knew right away that this was going to be something special. One of the first things I remember was Makela’s mom telling me how much she loved my black and white photos — and that meant a lot.

Their venue, Zaza Gardens in downtown San Antonio, is a dream location. It’s charming, romantic, and full of character — perfect for a documentary-style wedding photographer like myself. From the getting ready moments to the sparkler exit, their day was full of authentic emotion and beautiful details.

One of the proudest moments for me was seeing their wedding published in San Antonio Weddings Magazine in the 2018 issue. It’s always an honor when my couples are featured — not just for me, but for them too. Their love story and celebration were recognized and shared with so many others, and it’s a reminder of how important and beautiful these real moments are.

If you’re reading this in 2018, you might still be able to pick up a copy and see their feature. And if you’re planning your own wedding in San Antonio, I highly recommend considering submitting your day for publication — you never know!

Makela and Peter, thank you for letting me be a part of your amazing day. It was a true joy to document it all.

If you’re looking for a San Antonio wedding photographer who values candid moments, timeless edits, and honest storytelling, I’d love to hear from you.
