The Herron Wedding

Some love stories begin with a quiet thought that never really goes away.

When I asked the groom to tell me their love story, he said the following:

"When we were in high school and I saw you in your dress for your quince, I couldn't help but want to fall in love. When that day passed, I thought a lot about seeing you in another dress like that. Years later, I get to see you in another beautiful dress—this time as my bride."

There is something incredibly beautiful about a love that waits.

Long before wedding planning, engagement photos, or saying "I do," there was a teenage boy watching the girl he admired celebrate one of the biggest milestones of her life. He had no way of knowing what the future would hold, but somewhere in that moment, he imagined seeing her dressed in white one day.

Years later, that dream became reality.

As she walked toward him, she wasn't just wearing another beautiful dress. She was wearing the dress he had unknowingly been waiting to see for years. The quinceañera gown had become a wedding gown, and the girl he admired had become his wife.

Moments like these are why I love documenting weddings.

It's never just about beautiful florals, elegant venues, or perfectly timed sunsets. It's about preserving the stories that live between the photographs—the memories, the anticipation, the years of growing together, and the words that will mean even more decades from now.

Every couple has a story that's uniquely theirs. Sometimes it's found in a first glance. Sometimes it's hidden in handwritten vows. And sometimes, it's in a groom remembering a quinceañera from years ago and realizing that God had been writing their story long before either of them knew how it would end.

These are the moments worth remembering.

These are the moments worth photographing.

Melissa + Erwing Wedding


What does Nicaragua and the Philippines have in common? I’ll tell you with pictures.

Erwing and Missy met a few years ago when Missy decided to go to Nicaragua for work. Little did she know in 2014 that she was to fall madly in love with Erwing (from Nicaragua) and that she was going to be in a long distance relationship for a year and half only to realize the inevitable; they were meant to be together.

This began a journey for both of them as they navigated through the U.S system delays and Nicaragua’s socio-political crisis. It was, indeed, a hard patch, but together they overcame what life was throwing at them. Fast forward five years and here we are…

I must say that what I enjoyed most of this wedding was not only to observe true love, but to observe family and what it really means to honor them. One thing that stood out to me during a speech Missy made to her guests was that she grew up with dad being in the military, meaning that she learned to value the times when family was all together. It challenged me, as an observer and a documenter, to value such precious family times. I hope that I was able to capture the true entity of this night. Love reigns.

P.S Missy and Erwing decided to do a “First Look” before their ceremony. I was NOT disappointed :).

Caleb + Elizabeth

I am not sure how many San Antonio photographers have ever done a session in La Villita, but let’s just say I was blown away with the colors I got to play with. Not only were Caleb and Elizabeth a great couple to work with, but their chemistry in these pictures left no doubt to the unbeliever. From slow dancing to hanging out with their pup Mia, I was left enchanted. I hope you are too.
