Jeff & Adriana

I first met up with Jeff & Adriana back in February at one of my favorite places, Starbucks! While I sucked down a double chocolate chip frappacino, I couldn’t help but notice how these two are truly made for each other. They went on to tell me the story of how they first met, and I knew an awesome couple like this deserves the very best, and I couldn’t let these two down! So, fast forward to October 22 and we end up on their beautiful wedding day, at the gorgeous ZaZa Gardens, a fairly new venue in downtown San Antonio. The ceremony setting was outdoors on a beautiful day, which allowed me to created some amazing shots! Enjoy and feel free to comment!

Y-M-C-A!!

Sarah & John

When I was told I was going to be shooting a wedding at the Scenic Loop Cafe, I couldn’t have been more happy! The place is beautiful, and Sarah & John were a terrific couple to be shooting a wedding with. They were very calm and relaxed, which is pretty unusual during a wedding, but very welcoming. I had a great time creating these images, and hope you enjoy them as well.

gabbi’s quinceanera….party on!

MJ Photography — Wed, 25 May 2011 23:04:35 +0000

After her portraits at hemisfair park, I knew shooting Gabbi’s quinceanera was gonna be awesome. What I didn’t know was that I was about to get an education on how to do “The Dougie.” Yes folk, the dougie is another pretty cool dance among a long list of others I don’t think I’ll ever learn, but I will enjoy watching others do it:( Oh well, it was all for Gabbi who I know had a blast and I am very happy to be apart of her special day! Please enjoy and feel free to leave a comment!

Gabbi’s very emotional dance with the only man she knew during her younger years…grandpa.

Let the dancing begin!

Gabbi turns 15 on May 14, and her Mardi Gras themed quinceanera is promising to be a blast to shoot. These first couple of images are going on her invitations and the main portrait session is still in the works, so stay tuned!

erica’s quinceanera in castroville

MJ Photography — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:28:34 +0000

This weekend I had the priviledge of shooting Erica’s quinceanera. For those of you who don’t know, a quinceanera is a celebration of a young hispanic girl blossoming into a young lady once she turns 15. The dynamics of the event mirror that of a wedding. From the church ceremony, to the party at the dance hall, everything is almost identical. This event was a blast to photograph! Seeing Erica with all her friends and family surrounding her made for an easy assignment, as her beautiful smile never left her face! Please enjoy and feel free to vote & leave a comment:)

Yep, that’s the chicken dance

Let me start out by saying, baby Lillian loves the camera. At first she was a little hesitant. Every time I came close with this big camera and this huge lens she’d freak out. She eventually got the hang of it, and I think she was kinda showing off after a while! Her mom, Amy, did a great job settling her down, enabling me to get some great shots!

The freakout…

…the aftermath…

…the showing off!

sabrina’s sweet 16 portraits

Shooting this Sweet 16 was an awesome experience! Sabrina was very outgoing, and willing to let me be as creative as I wanted. I also enjoyed turning her mom, Lisa, into one of my assistants for a couple of these shots. Enjoy!
