Bright Shawl Ballroom, San Antonio- February 2011

Tiffany and Raymond were married on February 2011. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, and the reception took place at the Bright Shawl Ballroom. Tiffany was one of many brides who takes advantage of the individual services that we offer. The French Connection provided the photography for Tiffany's wedding. Just look at that picture of the wedding bands in her flowers! The church provided great lighting for wonderful pictures.

Our photographer was able to capture their special day perfectly. Just look at how happy they were! Now that the special day is over, Tiffany and Raymond will always have gorgeous pictures to remind them of all the fun that they had and the people who were there to celebrate with them.

Texas Wine Country

Whether or not you’re a wine lover, there are some new great ideas for weddings and engagement parties!

The Texas wine country is quickly growing and becoming more popular. A great place to host a wedding is at a vineyard in the Hill Country. There are a lot of fun options available when you do this. You can get a vineyard that is close to town and just rent out the space for the wedding, or you can even stay at the location overnight. There are many vineyards in Texas that now provide accommodations for you and your guests to stay there. Let your guests take a mini-vacation where they can enjoy beautiful grounds and fresh air. The scenery for your wedding photography is gorgeous. This can also be a great spin on having a wedding where you want to showcase your love for the Lone Star State.

You do not have to go to a vineyard to enjoy wine; you can do it in your own home or local restaurant! Why not have a wine-tasting for your engagement party? If you are a wine lover, this is a great activity to share with your family and friends. If you are not a wine lover, your wine-loving friends and family can help you pick out the wine for your wedding by giving you their opinions in a fun atmosphere. When you do the party at your home, you can hire a professional to come in and guide you through the tasting. Here is a good site that provides some great tips for the wine-tasting beginner: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/wine-tasting-party-101. Shhhhh, do not tell your friends about this, you can just surprise them with your impressive knowledge of wines!
