Engagement Session at Devil’s River Distillery

Chris and Alma are getting married at Devil’s River Distillery so naturally, we had their engagement session there. We walked around downtown and then took some pictures at their wedding venue, and just walking around made me so excited to photograph their wedding day! After we took some photos near the River Walk, we went to a rooftop and I am in love with those shots. Even though this was their first time getting pictures taken, Chris and Alma were so natural in front of the camera.

Before the session, Alma told me that she was pretty nervous. But afterwards, she told me she felt so much more confident and ready for the wedding day! This is why I always recommend scheduling an engagement session with your wedding photographer. It is the perfect, low-stress moment to not only get more comfortable in front of the camera but more comfortable with your photographer. Alma said after this session she felt relieved because her trust in me as her photographer strengthened.

Kind Words

“Lois was so great for my engagement photoshoot!! She was super kind and patient with us and she gave us recommendations for poses to help us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Our sneak peek and full gallery came to us so much quicker than I expected and all the pictures looked amazing! When there were issues with viewing my gallery she responded quickly with a solution! I would recommend Lois to anyone who is looking for someone fun and professional to do their photoshoot!”

editorial WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN SAN ANTONIO

Hi, I’m Lois

Long before I ever photographed a wedding, I was the kid in Oregon who noticed everything. When I picked up a camera, I became fascinated with angles, perspective, and preserving what was already happening while interpreting moments the way I saw them.

Photography, for me, has always been about observing what’s already there and preserving it with care. Growing up as one of eight children, the daughter of Romanian immigrants who built everything from the ground up, I learned to notice the quiet moments inside the chaos.

I was always drawn to creative ways of interpreting emotion, whether through music—I studied viola and piano in college—or through a camera. Those are the moments that matter most to me: the ones where connection becomes obvious without anyone trying too hard.






Photography has always felt like an extension of how I move through the world

Inside the work 

A deeper view of my process — how light, timing, and direction shape images that feel honest and lasting.
