Destination....EUROPE! {San Antonio Family Portrait Photographer}

We are SO EXCITED to have the opportunity to travel to Europe in June 2015 and photograph families and couples. Seriously, this is like a DREAM!

You know you WANT to go, so let's make it happen!
Paris....June 9-14
However, we are not limited to Paris the city. If you want to do portraits in Versailles....GREAT! If you have a favorite little spot you LOVE that is fairly close...AWESOME!
As of today, we already have the mornings of June 13th and 14th booked with two lucky families!
Germany...June 15-19
We are still deciding on our itinerary in Germany. We will be staying at a place close to Trier (the oldest city in Germany) and are planning on a trip to Luxemburg and wherever there are some beautiful castles. Call now before we finalize if you want to go to someplace you LOVE in Germany. I believe the biggest city closest to me will be Frankfurt.
London...June 19-25
The Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Big Ben, and much much more! Don't forget the countryside close to London, as we are open to venture out of the city a little too!
We are already booked for the morning of the 20th (or it could be the afternoon...still deciding) with another lucky family, but we still have plenty of openings!

What is the first step?
Call me! 210-497-3809
There is no obligation if you just call, right? Let's chat details and we will go from there.
If you would rather email...send me one HERE

What are the details?
The session fee is $650. This is for a sunrise or sunset session (whole session is about 3 hours depending on the desired locations)
There is a minimum order of $2000. All of that goes towards a portrait, or an album, or whatever your would like!
It is all PAID in ADVANCE of the trip.
You do NOT have to pay my expenses (since I have at least TWO sessions already).

What do I guarantee?
A FABULOUS experience! AMAZING portraits at an AMAZING location or two!


So....COME TO EUROPE WITH US!!!

It Only Takes TWO to make a DESTINATION portrait work! {San Antonio Destination Portrait Photographer}

How do these DESTINATION portraits work?

Here is the scoop:

Do you have a favorite Vacation spot that would be PERFECT for your next family portrait?

We would LOVE to go with you and make that a reality!

If we are only going for you, there is a session fee, a minimum order and hotel/airfare expenses involved. IF, you can get another family to join you on your vacation and I can do their portrait session as well at the same location, then the hotel/airfare expenses are waived.
In some cases, if we plan the trip well in advance, I can advertise that we are going in the hopes that someone else would love to join us at that location. Each family will have their own portrait session on different days/times.
If a location OVERSEAS is your destination of choice, we do have to have THREE separate sessions in order for my travel expenses to be waived.
However, if you are willing and able to pay my travel expenses for myself and my assistant, then I am willing to go whenever and wherever you want! All you have to do is ask!

So, here are some of the locations that have been mentioned by clients as a possibility. None of these have dates or anything...yet.

Breckenridge, Colorado
Park City, Utah
Both of these locations have an incredible place that would make for stunning portraits...ICE CASTLES
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/05/ice-castles_n_4393738.html
not to mention incredible mountain views and something we rarely see in San Antonio...SNOW!

Puerto Rico
Costa Rica
St. Lucia
Bahamas
Playa del Carmen
Cabo san Lucas
Destin, Florida
Yellowstone National Park
Crested Butte, Colorado
Oregon
Tahiti

If any one of these locations is your favorite spot, chances are there is 

someone else that is wanting to go there too!

Fees:
Destination Session (sunrise or sunset...total 3 hours max)....$650
Minimum Purchase....$2000
OR
The Complete Destination Package...by quotation
Have Elizabeth spend all day with you!
Multiple Locations included.

The Wedding of Melissa and Justin {San Antonio Wedding Photographer}

It is crazy to think how long I have known Melissa.  I photographed her sister's wedding 11 years ago. Her brother's senior portraits even before that. And her family portrait sometime in between. In fact, her mom reminded me that this was their 12th portrait/wedding experience with me. WOW! I am humbled. Blown away that through the years this fabulous family has continued to use me for all of their big life events.

I met Justin as we planned the wedding photography. What a great guy, a total romantic. We had a great time at the engagement portraits created in Gruene. A beautiful spring morning, a gorgeous location and a couple in love. It just doesn't get any better than that!

 

 

 

 

Another beautiful day, we photographed Melissa's Bridal Portrait at the gorgeous, newly restored event location, The Veranda. We had a blast photographing in this place that I had never photographed in before. I loved playing with all the different vignettes The Veranda had to offer. Melissa looked stunning, of course!

 

Happy Wedding Day to Melissa and Justin!
