Wedding Photographers in San Antonio
At Parish Photography, we pride ourselves as being one of the best Wedding Photographers in San Antonio. Our decades of experience combine modern photography with a classical background. Parish was established in 1964 by Charles Parish, before he handed the reins over to JB in 2011, a Trinity graduate with a minor in art and masters in business. She learned many of the foundations of wedding photography and has since added a modern element. This makes our wedding coverage especially well-rounded and sure to please the bride and groom as well as family members.
Our team recently captured a wedding at the chapel at Incarnate Word with the reception at the McNay Art Museum. We love photographing at Incarnate Word. The chapel is absolutely gorgeous with stained glass windows and a unique seating arrangement for guests. We are one of the few photographers on their preferred photography list – make sure to reach out if you are planning a wedding at the chapel!
Following the Catholic ceremony, guests headed over to the McNay Art Museum. This museum is full of history. It was gifted to the city by an entrepreneurial woman in the late 20th century. Marion McNay was an avid art collector, and the museum used to be her personal residence. There is a stunning courtyard that frames the mansion inside the museum, which is a perfect place for cocktail hour. In addition, the grounds of the McNay are hard to rival in the city. They are filled with art sculptures, greenery, and even a Japanese section with a koi pond and arched bridge. We often photograph bridal portraits on the grounds.
After the ceremony, we photographed family portraits at the altar. When the bride and groom arrived at their reception, we whisked them away for a couple of minutes to get some great portraits of the two of them. And then it was party time!
Why Parish?
At Parish, we have several foundational beliefs. First, we do not charge by the hour. We believe your wedding should be fully documented from the time the bride and groom get ready until the final dance and exit. This usually adds up to 8-10 hours of coverage. Second, we always have two photographers at every wedding. While many photographers charge extra for an additional photographer, we believe it is important to always have two in order to capture different angles and events throughout the night. We want to document your day as best as possible! Finally, we offer a print credit in each package. While we live in a digital age now, we believe it is important for our customers to have something tangible for the walls of their home. We don’t want your images to live in the digital space forever!
Something else that sets us apart is our turnaround time. We know our bride, groom, and families are excited to relive one of the most momentous days of their lives. 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.
As one of the best Wedding Photographers in San Antonio, we would love to document your day and tell your story in an authentic way. Please reach out for more information about our packages and services.
