San Antonio Engagement Photos | Nicole & Tony

Hello and happy Spring! I am so thrilled to begin this season with an absolutely stunning couple! Nicole, Tony and I spent a wonderful morning recently capturing photos at the San Antonio Riverwalk and Mission San José. It was a great way to officially start my new chapter as a San Antonio wedding photographer!
Nicole and Tony’s story is very inspirational because it speaks to True Love’s tendency to appear at just the right moment – perhaps where and when we least expect it. Nicole and Tony knew each other for over a decade before they got together. Early on, they worked in the same company, in a tight-knit team that enjoyed happy hours and social events as a group. Their connection was friendly, but that was it. As time went on, work and personal situations changed, they eventually lost touch. Cut to a few years later: Nicole and Tony found themselves working in the same building once more. At this point, the timing was right and they began spending more and more time together. Soon the spark between them became difficult to ignore! They decided to give it a try…and now they are so very much in love. It absolutely radiates from them!
Tony surprised Nicole with a Valentine’s Day proposal on Marriage Island, located on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Amidst joyous applause from on-lookers, Nicole said ‘Yes!’ Truly a sweet proposal, to which Tony gave a lot of thought: he later told Nicole he chose the spot because he wanted them to be able to return again and again. And that’s exactly what we did for their engagement session! I can’t tell you how much I love doing a session in a location that’s deeply meaningful to the couple. It’s a wonderful way to incorporate more of their story into the photographs, and to make the session extra comfortable and special on the whole. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Nicole and Tony would have been comfortable anywhere we went! They are so in tune with one another and clearly share an incredible connection! They were relaxed and giggling, and it was a privilege to be behind the lens as they enjoyed the time together. And I have to confess: I am a little bit obsessed with Nicole’s hair! Holy moly, it’s so long and beautiful! Truly a stunning, smart, kind woman – with a groom to match! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in May and to work with Sweet August Events. I hope you enjoy these photos from their San Antonio Riverwalk and Mission San José engagement session.
