She-N-He Top 3: San Antonio Wedding Venues / July 26, 2016 by Melanie Grizzel

San Antonio is a city full of culture. There are so many beautiful cathedrals, missions and historic locations that provide the perfect setting for weddings. While I've only had the pleasure of shooting a couple of weddings in San Antonio, below are my top three San Antonio wedding venues based on beauty, location and reputation.

The Southwest School of Art

The Southwest School of Art building has been part of San Antonio history since 1851 when it was established as the Ursaline convent and school for girls. Over a century later, the art school moved to the premises and turned the historical site into a beautiful mecca for art and education that is still vibrant today.

The Hotel Emma

While I haven't had the pleasure of shooting at The Hotel Emma yet, I look forward to the day I do. The hotel building was originally Pearl's Brewhouse, built in 1894, and reimagined as The Hotel Emma, which opened in November 2015. The architecture and design of the hotel sends you back in time as soon as you step inside.

The St. Anthony Hotel

The St. Anthony Hotel was originally built in 1909 as the first luxury hotel in San Antonio. Over the years it kept it's reputation by redesigning and innovating the luxury hospitality industry in SA. Thanks to a recent two-year renovation, the St. Anthony has been restored to it's original glamour with chandeliers lining the ceilings, marble floors and more.

Carolyn -N- Eric Pearl Brewery San Antonio Engagement Photography / September 30, 2015 by Melanie Grizzel

Carolyn and Eric, engagement session in their home city of San Antonio. We went to Pearl Brewery district. I LOVE it there. seriously folks I only want to shoot there from now on. and the couple just purchased a home in the beautiful and historic sSouth Town. So we ran over there before it got to dark to nab a few shots. it was outstanding. Plus I got to take my whole family for a much needed 20 hours in San Antonio. These guys are going to tie the knot in the spring and I am so excited to be there. They are fun and funny. and I am getting the sense that Eric might be a little unruly. We'll see ;)

Erica -N- Alan / Chapel Dulcinea Wedding Photography / Austin Wedding Photographer / April 8, 2015 by Melanie Grizzel

"...at the end of the day you are married, and the wedding was perfect!"

From the Bride - I remember the afternoon of the wedding pulling up to the venue and having to hide under my sister’s pashmina because guests were walking right by the car. Of course my uncle saw me and started laughing and pointing me out to other guests! Finally once we were in line to walk into the chapel, the musicians began playing the most beautiful rendition of “Concerning Hobbits” from the Lord of the Rings Soundtrack and I finally felt excited instead of just ready to get it over with. Fast forward to the reception, I was happy to see my new husband and guests having a great time. While there were plenty of hiccups in the planning process, both Alan and I had a great time with all the different people in our lives coming together and celebrating. Seeing my 80-something year old Grandma jamming to our ragtag bluegrass band was pretty heartwarming, too :) I feel like I should add a disclaimer here: I feel like there is a lot of pressure on brides to orchestrate the most perfect and flawless day. My advice is to let it go. Flowers will get knocked over, people will get drunk, someone might still be hung up on your pink wedding dress and non-diamond engagement ring and will choose your reception to remind you of this, and you may get stuck in your Spanx and nearly have to cut it off at the hotel that night, but if at the end of the day you are married, the wedding was perfect!

From the Groom - Once "Concerning Hobbits" started playing I almost choked up. Luckily both of us maintained composure through the whole ceremony (I'm an ugly crier). It was just so exciting to take my new wife's hand and walk down the aisle together after ringing the chapel bell. After Mel took some shots of the party, family and us newlyweds, we headed back to the Barn for the reception. Our families and friends did an amazing job of decorating-- my grandpa even made custom etched pine centerpieces for all of the tables. Once we arrived for the reception it moved incredibly fast. Damon, my best man, and Thomas, our mutual friend who introduced us, both had great speeches which doubled as passable stand up routines. Our friends from school also brought fiddles, guitars, banjos and mandolins for some live music out on the patio. Probably the most memorable moment of the night was when they had Erica and I to join them on the washboard and wash-tub bass for an impromptu jam session.

Thanks to all of these wonderful Austin Wedding Vendors

K+K / Vista West Ranch Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer / November 21, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

K+K

Katie and Kieran met in New York City while working as copywriters for an ad agency. Katie is from Houston while Kieran is from New York. To celebrate the great distance they crossed to come together, and in honor of all the worldly places their guests traveled from, they created a lavish destination affair.

Their centerpieces and table numbers were custom designed maps of locales that the couple hold dear to them including Manhattan, Mexico and Austin. Carrying the theme of travel throughout the wedding, K+K added to their guests' escort cards the couples favorite travel destinations. They also included nods to their host city of Austin with charming cowboy boots, BBQ from Gourmet Gals and Guys, and tabasco sauce party favors. Their awesome wedding color combo of turquoise and pink was in every detail including bridesmaid's dresses, flowers from Petal Pushers and a 4 tiered pink gradient wedding cake by Simon Lee Bakery. The whole affair was pulled together perfectly by Aimee Villa of Lizze Belle Event Planning

Kieran mentioned during their engagement session that Katie requests or plays "Boot Scoot Boogie" everywhere they go in New York. hmmm, sounds familiar. With the Matt Wilson Band at the helm there was not a still moment on their dance floor. It was an amazing Sunday evening with the most perfect sunset. A day any couple would proudly relive again and again.

Anna-N-Rohan - A Fort Worth Engagement - Austin Engagement Photography / July 11, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

Fort Worth Engagement Photography Anna and Rohan met in the office (they're both in accounting). At first, she ignored his advances, but finally gave in and went out with him. And a good thing she did. Rohan, I have never met ayone who needs his joe as much as you do. Thank god for Starbucks! He even had a Starbucks logo-shaped grooms cake made of, you guessed it, coffee cake. Far and away, THE best wedding cake I've had the pleasure of enjoying. More on that later.

They live in Fort Worth, but their wedding was in Austin(ish). So we got together in Fort Worth to photograph their engagement session. The Fort Worth Water Gardens was their setting, a place we all remembered from childhood outings. It was gorgeous to shoot there. I imagine Fort Worth photographers shoot there all the time, but it was fresh and inspiring for me. I love to travel for sessions and weddings! A note to you all ;)

Thank you Anna and Rohan for having me along for your special day. I will edit your wedding soon. Promise!

Keri -N- Justin - A wedding at Vineyard at Florence - Austin Wedding Photography / June 29, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

bride and groom vineyard weddings Keri and Justin, adorable, no? And totally amazing. So much fun to spend time with and that's how photographing their wedding felt, like we were guests. The were married in an intimate service at The Vineyard at Florence. There wanted to keep it simple so they did not have a wedding party, their flowers, from Petal Pushers, were extraordinary. Hair and Make-up by the super amazingly talented miss Erica Gray. Southern's fine dining kicked off the party with down home cooking including fried green tomatoes. yummo!

We met quite a while ago and with some pressing we figured out that Keri and my sister (who lives in D/FW) used to work together. weird. small world.

Meejin -N- Jay - A Barr Mansion Wedding - Austin Wedding Photographer / June 17, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

Bride and Groom at BArr Mansion Meejin and Jay's perfect-but-not-fussy wedding at Barr Mansion. It was stunning and also comfortable, low key. During their first look, Meejin's grandpa was walking out of the restroom and made it into some of their first look shots. Meejin was hysterical. I love that! Let your day be your day! It was one of the loveliest weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. Single stem flowers in several different vases of varying colors and sizes from Stems floral, the groomsman in mixed-matched vintage snap button shirts with suspenders, table assignments painted on panes of window glass, and Meejin hand-painted their cake topper. Wow!

You might remember them from their animal-loving engagement session at the Austin Zoo.

Kelly -N- Jeff Married! - Inn at Wild Rose Hall - Austin Wedding Photography / June 9, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

Austin Bridal Extravaganza Kelly and Jeffrey met while she was tending bar in Washington DC and attending school. She vowed she would not date a customer, but slipped him her number on a CC receipt and the rest is history. They currently live in the Bay area. They chose to have a wedding in Austin, Tx because she has family here.

It was important to them to leave a small carbon footprint so she used all locally-sourced vendors. Including hand-picking wild flowers from a Arnosky Wildflower Farm. Their entire vegan menu and cupcakes came from Green Island Catering. They also wanted to work with local woman-owned businesses The Inn at Wild Rose Hall and She-N-He among them.

Austin Wedding Extravaganza Anna -N- Rohan's wedding at Thurman Mansion, flowers are from Wow Factor Design. Anna wanted to have a destination wedding because the sheer number of folks who would come to a local wedding would have left them penny-less. They chose Austin and Rohan chose BBQ, good man ;) Austin Wedding Guide

Kathleen -N- Nick - Sneak Peek! - Austin Wedding Photographer / June 6, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

Austin Wedding Extravaganza Kathleen -N- Nick how I will miss thee. Off to Virginia, I think. Nick just got out of school at Westpoint, Kathleen lives in New York City to be close. They both packed their things, had a wedding, went on a honeymoon, and now they are moving to Virginia.

We got to go to New York to shoot their engagement session. It was a part of their lives that most of their friends and family didn't get to see. They decorated all of Vintage Villas with their engagement pictures. FUN!

Christy -N- Greg -A South Austin Farm Wedding- Austin Wedding Photographer / May 11, 2011 by Melanie Grizzel

I met Christy and Greg in very unlikely place, they had never seen my work before but fell in love and trusted me on the spot. They went to my website, met a week later and the deal was done. We had a blast! I'm glad we found each other.
