I just don’t take pretty pictures! I pour every ounce of myself into your wedding planning process by making your photography experience an enjoyable part of the special memories that lead up to your magical day.

Valentine’s Day gets a bad wrap. There are many people who are dead set against the made-up holiday and feel it’s nothing more than a ploy to sell stuff. But guys, your ladies do enjoy getting flowers at the office if for no other reason than showing their co-workers that they are loved and not forgotten. No one likes to feel left out. And besides, it’s nice to have fresh flowers in your office for a few days. However, if you’re still not willing to give into the social pressure to buy the traditional chocolates and flowers, here are 50 other ways you can let her know she is special on this day and every day. And the best part is, some of them won’t cost you a dime AND you don’t just have to pick one! Indulge!!

About Ata-Girl
I am San Antonio’s most unique wedding photographer. I specialize in a 10-day image delivery, same-day prints, same-day slideshows, Italian handcrafted wedding albums and I have a mobile meeting space.
I am a full-time, internationally-awarded and WPPI-C certified professional wedding photographer based in South Texas near San Antonio. I offer a premier and personal service coupled with an unforgettable photography experience. I cater to clients who appreciate quality photography and help them to create family heirlooms that will last for generations.
I started Ata-Girl Photography Co., LLC in 2010. I firmly believe that the unique set of circumstances I have faced in life has prepared me to take a personal and genuine interest in my photography clients. I enjoy documenting the important milestones and captivating moments in people’s lives. I love being a part of people’s journey and consider myself privileged to document their legacies.
When I’m not photographing a wedding, I love to spend my spare time hiking, camping, cycling, reading, listening to Elvis and Prince. The most important things in life are for me to see my two daughters happy and to create a family history my grandparents and grandson would be proud of!
