The Pearl in San Antonio makes the greatest venue for engagement photos! It is a gorgeous downtown area that has so much going on. Their website says “When you visit Pearl, we’d bet you won’t ever walk the same path twice,” and I’m sure that’s correct! Lillie, Trey, and I had so much fun walking around and finding the best spots for pictures. When you scroll down you’ll see we found beautiful fountains, unique architecture, and even a stunning waterfront. I will definitely be returning to the Pearl for more photos, so if you like what you see, reach out to me and let’s get your session on the calendar!
You might be thinking, if this place is so amazing why are there no people in the background of these photos? Well, that is the biggest reason why I love to shoot at sunrise! A sunrise session is always my recommendation to couples who want to avoid crowds. It can be a bit tough to get up so early in the morning, but you can see from these photos that it was so worth it. These two wore the perfect outfits and were natural in front of the camera! I will never stop talking about the importance of your outfit at your session. Even if you chose the most beautiful place for your session if your outfit clashes with the scenery it can throw off the look of the photos. If you’re unsure of what to wear to avoid this, just ask. I’m always here for tips before your session.
Feel free to browse through some of my favorites from Lillie and Trey’s engagement session.

“Lois was amazing! Contacted her through thumbtack to capture the moment I proposed to my fiancé, and she did not disappoint! The candids she got are gorgeous and we will cherish them forever! She did an engagement shoot with us after and made the whole experience fun and extremely memorable. If you’re looking for a great photographer, you’ve found her!”
