    Join the Bend The Light Family!

    From my first phone call with Kaylinn at Bend The Light I immediately knew I had found the most perfect photography vendor for our wedding! Kaylinn and Jenn are childhood best friends and they truly treat all of their clients as family! My husband and I truly enjoyed our engagement session with Jenn! She made us feel so comfortable and offered great tips so any personal insecurities about being photographed were quickly forgotten. I also truly enjoyed my bridal session with Jenn too! Every picture was so beautiful it was very difficult to select a photo to display for the reception! Kaylinn is an expert with her photo editing and her excitement with any "sneak peek" photos is simply contagious! They coordinated with my wedding planner for our day of timeline and multiple times we were ahead of schedule! My husband and I CANNOT wait to see how our wedding photos turned out!

    Works of Art!

    I had Bend the Light do my engagement and wedding day photos. They came out so stunning! I had a small intimate ceremony but still wanted to hire a professional photographer to capture the memories of our special day. If you are on the fence about hiring this company, rest assured that they will go above and beyond your expectations. Book them as soon as you know a date you want photos so you don't miss out. You will be so excited at how GORGEOUS your photos will come out. Even the word "photos" do not do them justice, they are truly works of art.

    Jenn and Kaylinn were absolutely amazing to work with!! They are fun, flexible, professional, and most importantly, produce AMAZING photos! The engagement shoot my husband and I did with Jenn at the Botanic Gardens was one of the highlights of wedding planning for me. We both had so much fun and Jenn kept us laughing the whole time. As we were preparing for our wedding, Kaylinn was so helpful about going over every detail and the timeline. She even helped us decide on our pre-ceremony photo location based on which one would work best with our wedding colors! My husband and I will always treasure our wedding photos from Bend the Light!

    We cannot recommend Bend the Light enough! They were so detail orientated and are every bride’s dream. Kaylinn has a gift for going through every planning detail prior to the wedding and Jenn is beyond talented in her photography. We absolutely adore every one of our wedding photos and could not be happier with our choice in photographers! We hope to have many more important life events for them to capture in our future!

    Book Bend the Light! These ladies are incredible! You will not be disappointed. From the moment we booked them, Kaylinn had me hooked. She’s so incredible and instantly feels like the best friend you’ve had since kindergarten. Kaylinn will take care of everything leading up to the big day and you won’t stress a second. Jenn is a true talent. When she arrived my bridesmaids and I felt like we were just hanging out with our friend who happens to be an amazing photographer. These ladies are talented beyond their years but what makes them truly special is their connection to their clients. You will feel like the most important bride ever with them. Jenn captured our true personalities and produced the most stunning photos. You will not only be obsessed with your photos, you will thoroughly enjoy the entire process with Kaylinn and Jenn. Book Bend the Light now!

    Picking Bend The Light for our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. Kaylinn (studio manager) is incredibly helpful and was a wonderful resource for me. She gladly answered the million questions I had and was just a joy to talk to. Since I was planning a wedding from the UK, the first time I met Jenn (lead photographer) and Dawn (second photographer) was on our wedding day and they were so professional and caring. I don't like the flabby bit under my chin and Jenn and Dawn made sure I "turtled!" to get the best angles. It felt weird, but oh boy does it work! Our pictures looks AMAZING. I cannot speak highly enough of Kaylinn, Jenn, and Dawn. They are worth every penny and I would book them again and again and again!

    Let me start this review by saying the ladies at Bend the Light are AMAZING! We could not have picked a better photography team to document such a special time in our lives (and neither could you…seriously…you need to hire these ladies right now!). Bend the Light’s photos are stunning and as soon as I came across their website, I knew we had to hire them immediately.

    From the get go Kaylinn was super helpful. She helped us plan our timeline and any other details of our wedding day that might affect our photos. She was quick to respond to all my emails and is such a genuinely sweet person. Jenn was equally amazing and we had so much fun with her at both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. I am pretty camera shy and was worried about whether I would like our photos, but Jenn captured “us” perfectly. Her ability to capture a couple’s unique love story is an amazing gift.

    But what really makes Bend the Light so special is that Jenn and Kaylinn really care about all of their clients so much. And, by the time our wedding day finally arrived, it didn’t feel like a stranger behind a camera anymore as much as it felt like celebrating with friends.

    All this to say, you should totally hire these ladies. I promise you will not be disappointed.

    When it came to wedding photographers I knew I needed the best and I was not willing to gamble on the quality. That's what lead me directly to Bend the Light. Their portfolio is beautiful, and a quick phone call with Kaylinn assured me that we could easily have a great working relationship. They were there to answer any and all questions along the way. It goes without saying, but the photos are PHENOMENAL. I'm the third child in my family and my dad openly commented that these are the best wedding photos he's ever seen :) They did a great job on our engagement session, even with our unruly dog! They were so helpful and available on the wedding day, while not being over-bearing or too demanding. We got every photo we wanted and a ton more -- all within THREE WEEKS of the wedding. That's unheard of. They really captured the details beautifully, which meant a lot to us. I could go on and on, but basically, I highly recommend and I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

    Kaylinn and Jenn were the best team my husband and I could have asked for! From my first (45 minute) call with Kaylinn, to receiving our images less than 3 weeks after our wedding, they were true partners throughout our experience. Kaylinn has a great demeanor, knows what she is doing and is quick to respond to all questions. Jenn was a true professional at our engagement session and again for our wedding day. She’s great about checking in, making sure you have all the photos you want. And the second photographer Josh was great too. They make it easy to plan everything out and give you the confidence everything will turn out how you imagined (or even better!). I would highly recommend Bend the Light, you can see their quality through their blog online, but their personalities really set them apart! Thanks for everything ladies!

    The ladies at Bend the Light are fantastic and are so talented! We are in love with all the photos they captured during our engagement session and on our wedding day! I was so impressed at their professionalism, quick response to my emails and phone calls and of course the quality of their pictures. You will not be disappointed with BTL. Thank you Jenn and Kaylinn for being the best and making the process seamless!

    I fell in love with Jen and Kaylinn's work when they did my best friend's wedding in 2012, and I remember wishing we could have them at our wedding, but we live on the east coast. Fast forward a few years and when we actually decided to get married, we settled on San Antonio after all, and I got to have my dream photographer!

    Both Jen and Kaylinn were incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the wedding, and even though we were doing almost everything long distance they helped make all of the planning go seamlessly. Day-of, Jen and Adrien were AMAZING. They caught all the best moments, both posed and spontaneous, and I can't stop looking at all of our photos.

    Thank you for capturing everything that made our wedding such a special day! Your work will help us remember the day forever.

Seriously, budget elsewhere and hire Bend The Light! <3

    The ladies at Bend the Light are simply incredible. They made everything so easy and stress free! Kaylinn responded absurdly quick to all of my many questions before and after our wedding, and always seemed to share our excitement for our big day. She assured me they would be prepared for our purple uplighting, and that we wouldn't look like martians in the photos. She helped me put together a reasonable timeline, and the list of family photos we wanted. I couldn't have done it without her!

    We did an engagement photo session to get used to the idea of having our photos taken, and we ended up loving almost every picture! Our wedding day was no different. Jenn worked with our coordinator flawlessly. We didn't make it easy on them by having our ceremony very close to sunset and not doing a first look, but they were still able to get tons of beautiful photos for us. They seemed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once... I never noticed them during the ceremony and didn't feel they intruded in any way whatsoever during the night.

    Best of all, we had our photos back in TWO WEEKS! I truly don't know how they are able to produce such high quality work so quickly, but it was amazing to have pictures to show everyone when we got home from our honeymoon. I can't recommend Bend the Light highly enough... in all of the stress of planning a wedding, I didn't consider how the photographer is really the key to preserving the great memories from our big day. I am so thankful we chose Bend the Light and will have their beautiful work as a keepsake forever.

    I'm a visual person but yet very low maintenance when it came to what type of cake, flowers, etc. - I even let my husband pick our wedding colors. My only 'must' was to have a great photographer. After many many long hours of searching and for a right fit, I stumbled upon Bend the Light. I was thrilled they were available for the wedding day! Though it did rain on our wedding day, their photos turned out magnificent (even without a lot of natural lighting to work with!). I wouldn't have been as happy without them as a big part of my day. Throughout the planning, they worked closely with me to pick out everything! They were extremely 'on top of their game' and made the whole process so smooth! They really do love what they do - and to make the bride and groom happy! They encourage stepping outside the box and making each wedding unique and catered to the client. I highly recommend Bend the Light to anyone who wants great pictures and a great experience to go along.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing! Jenn and Kaylinn definitely know what they are doing! I had such a wonderful experience with Bend the Light and could not be happier with how our engagement, bridal portraits and wedding photos turned out. There are sooooo many awesome photos to choose from, I don't have enough surfaces in my house for them all! I am so happy I chose them to photograph our special day, because I now have the most amazing photos to look back on and relive!
    Jenn has an incredible eye and truly does have the ability to bend the light in her favor! Truly amazing. If you have any doubts, just look through their blog and you'll be amazed! Such beautiful, modern photos.
    They were also very professional and prompt with all communication and were available to answer any questions, and even helped me select locations for engagement and bridal portraits. Kaylinn is also a fantastic resource for helping with planning out the timeline, and Jenn did an awesome job of sticking to it and moving it along the day of to make sure we got all the shots we wanted! They both do an amazing job and you will definitely not regret using them! Love, love, love all of the photos they've taken and definitely plan to use them in the future!

    All I can say is BOOK THEM NOW! Bend The Light was SOOOO AMAZING & everything I ever wanted! They were so flexible with all of my last minute requests, and wedding date changes. We felt so comfortable during our engagement and wedding day photos. (Which is hard because we are usually really awkward while taking pictures) The way our photos came out made me speechless. I look at our photos literally every day since we received them, and I am sooo happy with how everything turned out! Looks like everyone is getting pictures of my husband and I for Christmas haha! I just love them so much, and wish all of my friends would get married in San Antonio so they can use Bend the Light!

    Bend the Light is the best photography in San Antonio. My daughter and I searched the internet and reviewed many wedding photos before choosing Bend the Light. Their photos were less posed and seemed to capture the happiness and emotions of a wedding better than other photographers. Kaylinn, the Studio Manager, and Jennifer, the photographer, are friendly, professional, prompt, and thorough. Jennifer instantly made my daughter and her fiancé feel at ease with her energy and bubbly personality. Jennifer took their engagement photos at Market Square, spent two hours taking photos at the rehearsal dinner, and spent 10 hours on the wedding day with an additional photographer. Every facet and every emotion was captured. If you want top quality photos, friendly and professional photographers, and more natural, less posed photos, then Bend the Light is your only choice. We love them and plan to use them for all our photography needs in the future.

    These girls have been so sweet and fun to work with from the very first email I exchanged with them. They even went beyond their call of duty by helping me find a few other vendors I was still needing to book for the reception. I felt completely comfortable asking them any questions, and they also were very helpful in providing ideas and suggestions for photos we wanted to make sure we added to our list and continued throughout the night to make sure I knew they were there to take any photo with someone that I thought of last minute as well. They are very professional, and get the photos back to you in a timely manner. After taking my bridal portraits and being absolutely blown away with how many my family and I just loved, we knew we made the right choice with these girls! We were excited and relieved to know that we had nothing to worry about how the pictures would turn out for the wedding after seeing the quality of service they provided for the bridal session. And with no surprise, they exceeded our expectations on the wedding photos! I would recommend Bend the Light to anyone looking for a photographer in the area, not just for a wedding but any event or photo session you interesting in. They were phenomenal!!

    You will NOT regret this choice for your wedding. I researched many photographers and kept coming back to their beautiful work. I was exceedingly impressed with their beforehand process (asking me specific questions, taking the time to get to know me, my wedding "look", etc.). Seriously, no detail was left out! The day of the wedding, they were incredibly attentive and got every shot I had asked for and more. Both our families made numerous comments on how impressed they were with them! Now the hardest part of booking them...choosing which pictures to print/purchase!! I have already recommended them to friends and family for their special day!

    We chose Bend the Light as our engagement and wedding photographers after several days of research. From the first email and phone call we received to our AMAZING wedding photos, they remained professional, efficient, and never once disappointed us. We are SO in love with our engagement photos, bridal photos, and of course our breathtaking wedding photos. Jenn and Lisa were such a joy to have with us on our wedding day, and Kaylinn was extremely quick at responding to our emails/phone calls and assisting us with all of our questions and concerns. We will forever cherish all of the memories captured throughout the most important time of our lives. My husband and I can't wait to book more photo sessions with Jenn in the near future!
