I am super excited! Now that Zac and Emily have gotten hitched, I can finally show off the bridals from a few months ago. We didn’t want the photos in the wild and ruin the surprise of her dress.

In talking with Emily we decided that a San Antonio shoot would work best and after hearing her describe her dress, decided that the Art Deco District near Fredricksburg Road would be the place to get our photos on. We started at Eisenhower Park, so named because Dwight and his wife used to rowboat around the lake.
Then we hit up a couple of places with good sights along the way.

Thanks to Russ for helping me with the lights, and to Kate for helping Emily with her Dress.

Too many photos to share, so here is the slideshow from this gallery

Emily at Woodlawn Park

Emily’s Bridal Portraits went awesome Sunday’s in San Antonio. I was assisted by my longest-time friend, Russ. Emily brought along Kate.

First off, the sky was beautiful, some wispy clouds, but otherwise blue. The wind continued my streak of Lubbock-like breeze patterns, hard and often. Undaunted, we set off on to the Deco District in San Antonio near Woodlawn Park. We roamed up and down the streets utilizing the funky architecture to fit Emily’s personality and wedding style.

Second, Emily is fantastic to work with. She claims to be shy, but I never saw that. Continuing another streak, she learned her model moves from America’s Next Top Model. That is a streak of 4 clients in a row for me, I had to confess again to watching it for the photography/modeling as well. Doesn’t help with the man card, but it helps with the photo card.

Em has a neo-funky dress which fit her awesomely, can’t show the dress yet, don’t want the groom peaking too much. Some traditions still hold and this is one I like.

Our favorite background is the one that Russ is modeling here.

We went with an Orbis Ring Flash as the single light here. When Emily was in the frame, we used a white sheet as a scrim to block the sunlight and bring the ambient down some so that we could carry an aperture and get that ringflash look. If this makes no sense, head over to strobist.com .

Once the wedding happens in May, I will give it the full blog treatment with lots of pretty pictures!
