San Antonio Family Photographers | Bend the Light Photography

The Phelt Family • Hotel Eilan • San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio family photographers have the best job, y’all. Something I didn’t expect to gain when we started our San Antonio family photography business was a whole community of amazing new friends. Over the years, this job has become about so much more than taking pretty pictures. It’s about building relationships, watching families grow, and getting the chance to be part of people’s lives in a meaningful way.

A friendship that spans years (and photos!)

We photographed Brian and Carolyn’s wedding way back in 2011. From that very first day, we knew they were something special. Since then, they’ve trusted us to photograph their family year after year—and honestly, we couldn’t be more grateful. Watching their love grow, seeing their family evolve, and capturing those moments along the way? It’s been an absolute joy.

Hotel Eilan never disappoints

This year, we met up at the always-beautiful Hotel Eilan in San Antonio for their annual photo session. It’s such a dreamy spot with that perfect mix of elegance and charm. And it matched their easy, laid-back vibe so well. Every time we photograph them, it feels like catching up with old friends—and that comfort and connection always shines through in their photos.

Here’s to many more

Brian and Carolyn, here’s to many more years of marital and photograph-arial bliss (yes, I made that word up and I’m standing by it!). Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for continuing to let us be part of your story.

Here are a few of my favorites from this year’s San Antonio family session at Hotel Eilan—I hope you love them as much as I do!
