The Witte Museum Wedding + Reception | Kelsey + Dan

ByPhilip Thomas

Here’s a curated set of images from Kelsey and Dan’s wedding a few weeks ago at The Witte Museum, San Antonio. I’m so thankful to have met this fantastic couple, and to Peggy Walker, mother of Sara, a bride a photographed many years ago and referred me to them. Kelsey and Dan met in New York City and now reside in Austin. I loved working with this couple from their families and friends, to Kelsey’s infectious laugh and Dan’s sense of humor.

We start with the welcome dinner at fabulous Cub Giraud. The family had booked out the Havana Hotel where the couple and the wedding party started getting ready. The Witte Museum ceremony and reception layout were astonishing. Check out the beautiful floral design for the ceremony overlooking the bank of the river.

As always, pleasant to work with so many amazing vendors, including planner Diana Boucher, floral designer Erin McClarty, Cakes by Cathy, In10City Band, Illusion rentals, videographer Derek Copenhaver, paper and designed accessories by The Girl General, Rose Mary Catering, and the Madam Makeup team.
