Lauren + Alex {Hilton San Antonio Hill Country Hotel wedding & reception}

Lauren has been a faithful blog reader of ours for a long time now. :-) She has followed our photography and has read along as we’ve shared some of our big “life moments” here on the blog … so we are incredibly excited to share one of LAUREN’S big “life moments” (dare I say the BIGGEST?) with you today. :-D

Lauren and Alex’ wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Hilton Hill Country Hotel here in San Antonio. It was our first time shooting a wedding there… we love shooting new venues! It keeps things interesting and fun. :-) Here are our favorite images from their big day. Enjoy! :-D
-Jenn, Sada & Kaylinn
Check our Lauren’s bold wedding color scheme: hot pink, fuschia and grey. Get ready for lots of color!!
Alex reading a super sweet card from Lauren, right before walking down the aisle. :-)
As you know, we love when a bride and groom do a “first look” (see each other before the ceremony). It allows lots of time for photos and relaxes the bride and groom. But did you know that first looks aren’t just for grooms? That’s right… dads can get in on the fun too. :-) Lauren wanted to capture the moment her dad saw her (as a bride) for the first time, so she chose to do a first look with her dad before the ceremony. Love this!
Can’t forget about Lauren’s mom! Love these 2 shots. :-)

Lauren, you are bee-yoo-tee-ful!

Who says bridal bouquets have to be white? Not us! We’re lovin’ the pop of color that Lauren’s bridal bouquet brought to her photos (For tips about how to add color to your wedding day, check out this post.)

What happens when one of your groomsmen is wearing a cast and is on crutches? For starters, mis-matched socks and awesome photos like this one! :-)

What color would you call these bridesmaid dresses? Different shades of pink? Fuschia? Whatever they are, I LOVE them!! :-D

Ceremony time! The guests were preeeeepared for the moment that Lauren walked down the aisle! How many cameras can you find in this shot? Gotta love that there are so many aspiring photogs out there :-)
Here comes the bride. :-)

We are often asked if we take traditional/classic images at each wedding. Why yes, we do! To read about how we infuse the modern and classic photography styles, check out this post. :-)
We love love LOVED the uplighting that Lauren & Alex had at their reception!! Having your reception lighting professionally done adds so much to your photos and to the atmosphere of the room. For more info about why we suggest professional lighting, click here.

Love these two sweet moments that Jenn captured between Lauren and Alex at their bride/groom table. :-)
Hug after the best maid-of-honor speech ever!! :-D
Our long-time blog readers will remember Melissa & Austin’s wedding from a few years back. Well, guess who we spotted on the dance floor! Reunited and it feels so good! <– my attempt at a lame joke. Ha! Anyhoo… It means so much to us when our past brides and grooms send their friends our way. :-) Melissa & Austin, without you guys we would’ve never met Lauren & Alex…so THANK YOU!! :-)

Annnnd we will leave you with this! We wanted to end on the right foot, after all. <—there I go again with my lame jokes. Ha! Lauren and Alex, thank you thank you THANK YOU for allowing us to capture these moments on your wedding day!! Have an amazing time in Hawaii!!  :-D
