San Antonio Wedding Photographer
If you are a newly engaged bride or groom looking for a San Antonio Wedding Photographer, look no further! Parish Photography is one of the best and most experienced wedding photographers in San Antonio. Our studio was founded in 1964 by Charles Parish – check out his decades-spanning timeline, here! After mentoring Jenna-Beth (JB) for several years, she eventually bought the business in 2011. JB was the perfect fit to take over Parish because of her fun, outgoing personality, her passion for people, and her artistic background. She graduated from Trinity University with a minor in art and a major in business. Owning a photography studio was the perfect career fit. She brought a new, modern, and clean vibe to the already established Parish brand.
Our team at Parish Photography absolutely love photographing weddings. Our favorite aspect of being San Antonio wedding photographers is the emphasis on forming relationships with the bride and groom and their families. Oftentimes, we photograph engagement photos and bridal portraits before the big day. Check out an example here! This helps our team get to know the bride and groom and helps them become more familiar in front of a camera. Being photographed is a vulnerable experience, and we do our best to make our couples feel as comfortable as possible before their wedding day.
A San Antonio Country Club Wedding
Our team recently photographed a wedding at the San Antonio Country Club. The couple, Jordan and David, said their vows at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church. Everyone on the Parish team is very familiar with both of these venues. We love photographing at the country club because the grounds are beautiful (check out their individual and group photos outside) and the indoor space offers several different venues. The staff and food is also fantastic!
After the ceremony, the couple had their first dance and then the party began. Towards the end of the night, party favors came out and made our job even more fun to photograph. The crowd even sent the bride crowd surfing! The different aspects and people we encounter at each wedding make our job forever interesting.
Why Parish?
Our business philosophy at Parish Photography is unique and sets us apart from other photographers in San Antonio. First, we do not have hourly rates for weddings. We tell your story from start to finish. That means we are there for your pajama photos to the pinning of the boutonnieres, all the way until the final dance and exit of the night. Many photographers have hourly limits, making you pay for any extra hours beyond what they offer. We offer full day coverage, which usually lasts about 8-10 hours.
In addition, we always have two photographers at every wedding and we do not charge extra for it. We believe that to tell your story in the most comprehensive way, it is imperative to have two perspectives throughout the day to capture different angles and moments. Everyone on our team is Parish trained, so your photographs will have a seamless stylistic look.
Finally, we offer a print credit in every package. We believe it is important for our customers to have something tangible to keep in their homes. While we understand we live in the digital age, we do not want photographs of one of the most important days of your life to live in the cloud forever.
Something else that sets us apart is our turnaround time. We know our bride, groom, and families are excited to relive their momentous day. That is why we promise a 3-week turnaround time for photos. Many photographers take months to deliver photos (sometimes up to 6-8 months!). We know photography at a wedding is an investment, and we want to honor that investment by providing timely photos.
