McNay Art Museum Ceremony + Wedding Reception
Taylor and John celebrated their wedding during a lively fiesta week with friends and family. This day was extra special because it marked both the 100th anniversary of their historic Monticello Park home and their third wedding anniversary. To honor these milestones, they hosted a full wedding reception with loved ones exactly three years after their courthouse wedding, on April 17, 2026, at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio.
I loved getting to know Taylor and John a little over the last few weeks and finally meeting their four-legged friends – a dream to work with. Like with all my couples, I’m grateful they trusted me to capture the real spirit of their day and avoid the usual wedding clichés. I also want to thank my second shooter, Christian Margain, for his talent, and Mitzi from Bride on a Budget for her help with planning.
We start this sneak peek with a few pictures from their rehearsal backyard gathering, followed by their wedding celebration at the McNay. Here’s a sneak peek of my favorites.
