OUR STORY

I met Carl 12 years ago while I was working as the director of a fine art gallery in the lively French Quarter of New Orleans. He was in town from San Antonio for business and, while wandering the streets, happened to catch sight of a captivating painting of a bass player. Intrigued, (partly because he plays bass) he stepped inside my gallery, and that’s where our story began.

Fast forward 12 years, and here we are, living in San Antonio and happily married for 7 years. Our paths might have started in different cities, but we quickly discovered that we shared many interests, with our love of photography being the strongest connection.

I’ve since established my own portrait business, Schexnayder Photography, where I focus on creating senior portraits, business branding photography, fine art school portraiture, and family and travel photography. Recently, we’ve expanded to include wedding photography, a decision fueled by our passion for capturing the unique love stories of couples on their special day. Together, we are dedicated to artfully documenting the connections, emotions, and love that unfold during these unforgettable moments.

Our Approach
At Schexnayder & James Wedding Photography, we strive to artfully document your wedding journey through the unique two perspectives that a husband and wife photography team brings. We believe in the power of storytelling and capturing each moment with creativity and precision. Our commitment to complete transparency and open communication allows us to customize our services to match your vision, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully represented. We strive to create a seamless experience that reflects your unique love story, preserving memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Our Style

Our photography style is all about documenting authentic connections in a natural way to tell your unique story. We may position a bride in good light, or suggest a groom to put his hand in a pocket, but the emotions and the unfolding celebration are all theirs. Family and Bridal portraits will lean towards a more traditional style, while the reception and ceremony will nod towards photojournalism—all with the main intent on capturing those beautiful emotions in an artful way.

Intimate and Personal
When you choose our services, you can expect an intimate and personal touch. We take the time to get to know you as a couple, to understand your vision for your wedding day, and to capture the essence of your relationship. Our goal is to create timeless images that reflect who you are as a couple and the love that you share.

Attention to Detail
Attention to detail is at the core of our work. We understand the significance of capturing the love that radiates through every smile, every tear, and every special moment. From the exchanging of vows to the first dance as newlyweds, we are there to capture it all, preserving each detail and emotion in stunning photographs.

A Collaboration of Talents
As a husband and wife team, we bring together our individual talents to create a seamless and dynamic experience for our clients. Our diverse perspectives allow us to capture every angle and emotion, while our shared passion for photography ensures that we deliver exceptional results every time.

Tailored Collections
We offer a variety of tailored collections designed to suit your needs and preferences. From full-day coverage to smaller, more intimate events, our collections are flexible and can be customized to match your unique vision. We believe that every couple deserves high-quality, professional wedding photography regardless of the size of their celebration.
