Vanessa and Tony Wedding at The Cafe Ole San Antonio

As a wedding photographer in San Antonio, I get to witness all kinds of love stories — and Vanessa and Tony’s wedding was one I’ll never forget.

I met Vanessa through her brother, a real estate agent who helped me out a few months ago. It’s always a special experience when there’s a personal connection like that. From our first chat, I could tell their day was going to be something memorable.

They chose to celebrate their wedding at Café Olé, right on the iconic San Antonio Riverwalk. The ceremony was held in a nearby little church, filled with warmth, quiet emotion, and the closest of family and friends. Once it ended, we made our way — walking through the Riverwalk — to the reception.

And wow… what a moment. Everyone passing by was cheering, clapping, and celebrating with us. It felt like I was photographing a red carpet event or a rock concert! That spontaneous energy, combined with the intimacy of their guest list, created a unique, electric atmosphere that I’ll always remember.

The weather was perfect — sunny with a soft breeze — and the vibe throughout the day was heartfelt and full of joy. I’ve always loved intimate weddings. They offer space for genuine emotion, thoughtful details, and deep connections. This one reminded me why I do what I do.

Vanessa and Tony, thank you for trusting me to document your story. It means the world to be invited into such a special day and to do what I love most: capturing real, unscripted moments.
