A Playful And Romantic Evening, Boerne, Texas, Couples Photography Session

San Antonio, TX Engagement & Couples Photographer

During the last couple of months I had been shooting many families here in the San Antonio area. It had been a while since I had been able to do a couple’s session before Ashton reached out to me looking for one. This particular session was going to be special because Ashton and her husband Ryan were hoping to get a session before she started showing! Pretty soon, they would be starting their own family. This was a very exciting time in their lives that I wanted to capture, and it definitely did not disappoint one bit. We ended up having a lot of fun and capturing some of the best photographs I have taken!

One of the things that helped tremendously with Ashton and Ryan was how much information they gave me in their questionnaire. One of the most important things for me before a shoot is to give all my clients a set of questions to get a feel of how I want to capture their moments. I usually do this by just having conversations with them before the shoot, but just to make sure I get exactly what they want is by giving a questionnaire to cover as much ground as possible.

The first question I asked them on the questionnaire is to give me a short and sweet biography of themselves! I got a great idea of how Ashton and Ryan were as individuals. They are two hard working people that enjoy to spend time with their dog and watch movies! Ashton is a pharmacist and Ryan is in the Air Force. This actually led to my next question, which was how exactly they met and fell in love. Ashton was an intern at a pharmacy where Ryan had to come in to get a flu shot while he was training in the Air Force! By the end of the flu shot they agreed to continue talking even though Ryan would be leaving shortly for two months to train. It wasn’t too long after all this that they fell in love. It truly was a beautiful story that both of them shared with me in the questionnaire!


Part of all these questions in the questionnaire are about getting to know my clients as much as possible, but the other serves the purpose of seeing how the session will play out. One of the things I was able to know before I saw them in person was that they were a playful couple that was very much in love, and excited to be starting a new family. One of the key questions I ask is “What kind of overall vibes do you have in mind for your session? *This could be adventurous, cozy, urban, natural, romantic, fun, casual, or artistic. These aren’t the only options you have, get creative and have fun thinking about what you want out of your photos”. This is where they both answered that they were hoping to capture the playful, romantic, loving and natural love that we have for each other, with a warm aesthetic


Right when I met Ashton and Ryan in person I saw why it was that they wanted to capture a playful session. They were both lovely people that were up for anything during the session! I didn’t have to direct them both to do much because they were complete naturals at just being themselves and forgetting the camera was there. These are the best shoots, when families and couples are just themselves and I just happen to be there to capture some of those moments. During this shoot I mainly just had to move them to different locations to be able to locate where the light was to make sure the background stayed beautiful for them.


Not only was this couple beautiful inside and out, but the light this day did not disappoint at all. This was some of the best background I had captured in a while. The colors came off beautifully from the couple and the background. The playfulness of both Ashton and Ryan was obvious from beginning. They were up for anything and we got to try many different things while we did our shoot. We got some of the most beautiful pictures I have had in a while. I could not have asked for a better couple than Ashton and Ryan to let me capture they playfulness and love they have between each other.
