A Micro Wedding with a Personal Touch

Nonné & Christian’s micro wedding at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas was the perfect blend of intimacy, meaning, and personal touches. With just their closest friends and family in attendance, they exchanged heartfelt vows on a warm and sunny day—and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

A Full-Circle Love Story at the Coffee Shop

My favorite part of their wedding day was the time they set aside to visit a local coffee shop before their reception dinner. This wasn’t just any coffee shop stop—it was a full-circle moment in their love story.

Years ago, I met Nonné when she was a barista at my favorite coffee shop in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was in that very same shop that Christian first saw her while grabbing his daily coffee. After a few visits and a little courage, he asked for her number—and the rest is history! It only made sense to incorporate coffee into their wedding day, making space for a quiet, intimate moment as newlyweds before celebrating with loved ones.

A Relaxed Reception with Meaning

After their coffee shop visit, they headed to a nearby restaurant for an intimate reception dinner, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. The entire day was relaxed, heartfelt, and completely true to who they are as a couple—a beautiful reminder that a micro wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing meaning or beauty. It’s about creating space for connection and celebrating love in a way that feels right to you.

“Lillian is extraordinary!! I’ve been fortunate enough to follow her photography career for a while now and finally had the opportunity to work with her. Lillian took our engagement photos and traveled back down to Texas to capture our wedding! From the start she made everything easy, always going above and beyond, ensuring we were comfortable and not stressed. We ended up with SO many stunning photos that captured our excitement, the big day and all our family. Lillian made sure every moment was perfectly captured and I know I will treasure these forever (I already do). Thank you SO much for capturing our love and our big day so perfectly – we could not be happier!!!” – Nonné & Christian
