Daily Destination | San Antonio, TX with Philip Thomas
Monday December 13th, 2010
Janine & Shaun
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Here in Pennsylvania homes are decorated in lights, snow is falling and we’re anxiously awaiting Santa. San Antonio-based photographer Philip Thomas says this is his favorite time of year to photograph weddings “First, the light is just incredible and challenging to work with, second, no rain and third there’s very little humidity which is always a welcome in South Texas and a British bloke like myself,” said Philip.
Philip has graciously shared Janine and Shaun’s San Antonio wedding with us. Janine and Shaun are high school sweethearts that finally tied the knot after many years of dating. On the big day, the girls and guys got ready at the Hotel Valencia on the famous San Antonio River Walk. Janine had her make up done by KM Impressions and hair styled by Kellie Buckingham.
Wedding planner Carly Derstine organized everyone at the First Presbyterian Church for the ceremony and designed the décor for the reception at Weston Centre. “I have many favorite images from their day but one for me that really stick out is of the two little children, Maddie and Drew touching the flowing water with their hands,” said Philip. “They were just playing together right at the bottom of the Weston Centre and totally unaware of me capturing their fun moment.”
Guests enjoyed dinner catered by Page Barteau Catering, dessert by Seventh Heaven Cakes and music by Eric Holtz of Holtz Entertainment all while Eric Adam and Micha-Angel Productions captured all the special moments on video.
Congratulations, Janine & Shaun! Fore more of Philip’s great work, visit his blog.
