The newest issue of Arizona Bride Magazine came out this month! I couldn’t be more excited for it. Also, they just re-launched a new design of their Website. Please check it out and visit the Real Weddings section (see my clients Desiree and Sam are featured on the front page!). They have two of my wedding featured in there, Desiree and Sam and Lea Ann and Heath. So go pick up a copy today!

I also won a recent contest hosted by The Wedding Chicks! So I won a free week of advertising on their front page. I was excited and honored. Check out the beautiful photo of Natalie and Patrick!

A few weeks ago I was asked by Denise and Eddie to take their engagement photos at La Villita in San Antonio. Right off the Riverwalk in San Antonio, it’s a little artist’s village with lots of color and beautiful surroundings. I love to travel for my clients for destination weddings or destination engagement sessions. I just ask for a travel fee, which is a flat fee. I try to make it less complicated for my clients! So if you are interested in traveling for your wedding to a destination, or for your engagement session, just ask and I’m game!

I stayed at the Emily Morgan Hotel, a boutique hotel, close to the Riverwalk area. I’ve never actually been to San Antonio, other than the airport. It was really nice. I went to the Alamo and walked around the Riverwalk. It was a bit hot though! I still haven’t gotten used to the humidity here. But I had a great time with Denise and Eddie. Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know my couples before the wedding, and also get them used to being in front of a camera.

I can’t wait for their wedding at the Inn at Chacalaca Bend! I went there a few weeks ago to preview the property, and it was amazing! I’m so excited for September! Thanks again Denise and Eddie for spending time with me in San Antonio!

Check out this beautiful slide show of their entire session!
