Jennifer and Alan

March 13, 2010

Jennifer and Alan were married at the gorgeous McNay Art Museum in San Antonio this morning. We could not have asked for a more perfect day!! This event was Cheri's deal, so I was happy to tag along and second shoot.

There are so many great things to photograph on the grounds outside...Cheri and I took our time walking around, enjoying the morning and picking out spots for portraits. Soon, the couple arrived with about 30 family members and friends. A very intimate gathering.

Jennifer made all the flower arrangements, including the men's boutonnieres.

Jennifer has two children, Laurali and Matthias, ages 5 and 7. Two sweeter siblings I have not met! They were great at posing for me.

The sun was getting hot and it was almost time for the ceremony, so we quickly snapped photos of this sweet scene. With all the rain we've gotten, everything was brilliant green.

I love cool ring shots!

We were about done but I wanted to take advantage of the staircase leading down to a maintenance closet under the main fountain. I don't think many people use it for pictures, but to me, it's awesome. This shot was almost missed--she leaned in for a quick smooch and I just grabbed it.

Alan was totally at home in front of the camera! I so enjoyed photographing him.

While Cheri finished with them, I took the bouquet and walked around, looking for a nice spot.

Then we were off to Piatti's! It's a restaurant in the Alamo Quarry marketplace. Very tasty food! I had the grilled salmon.

They had a very small, simple wedding cake topped with this. I loved it.

Congratulations, Jennifer and Alan! We wish you and your family a long and happy life together.
