Winter Wedding at Botanical Gardens, San Antonio, Texas

ByPhilip Thomas

Photographing Christine and Delia’s wedding at the San Antonio Botanical Garden was a joy. With Spring just around the corner, the gardens are showing signs of life, creating a beautiful atmosphere.
As a documentary photographer, I’m always grateful when couples trust me. That trust allows me to capture a wedding honestly, without staging or disrupting the day. With Christine and Delia, I felt that freedom immediately, which let me focus on telling their true story.
Every wedding has its own personality, and I strive to show that in my photos by focusing on the genuine connections and unique moments that set each couple apart. My goal is to capture the mood, feelings, and small details that make the day truly special—those are the moments that stay with us.
Christine and Delia’s wedding inspired me. The botanical setting and energy of their friends and family made the day elegant and personal.
Here are a few favorite photos from their wedding. I hope these moments show the true spirit of their day.
