I really need help finding a place to take our Engagement photos here within the next few weeks! Every place that is usually suggested has a fee to it if you want to take a professional photographer out (Missions, McNay, Tea Gardens...) Does anyone have any suggestions on any FREE locations besides the Riverwalk? It will be on a Sunday afternoon/evening...we are not really industrial/city kinds of people so something more "country" would work...any little out of the way places, old buildings, maybe!?
Thanks for the help!

We took some at the Pearl Brewery location, they have a nice area down the river right there. It's along the river but not necessarily the main riverwalk area. We took one session of ours there.

My photographer also suggested the Rose Emporium I think, I am currently trying to find somewhere for bridals that is free too. I think an important thing to remember for engagement pics is what kind of mood/theme do you want to set for them, or what are some places that you guys frequent that could make for some good photo ops. Once you go from there it may stir up some creative juices.

If you don't mind waiting a bit and going for a drive, there are lavender fields in Wimberly that bloom in March. That's where I'm getting my bridal portraits done. And Wimberly is a cute little town if you want to take pictures in town too.

till I become a Mrs.

Japanese Tea Gardens are no longer free. And I heard they are going to only allow photo sessions by appointment only in the very near future. Try Gruene in the morning before the stores open. I guess my first question would be what kind of a setting are you looking for in your e-pics?

We are thinking some place out by the Pearl Brewery. I am looking for something that is "San Anotnio" but not the typical SA locations like main part of Riverwalk or the Alamo. I have been told by several that the Riverwalk area out behind the Brewery is pretty nice. The photos will be taken on a Sunday afternoon before dusk so hopefully it wont be too busy.

That is when we took ours there, it was Sunday around 4pm. Not very busy at all.
