Zaza Gardens, a downtown San Antonio wedding venue

Update edit: 4-8-2023 Zaza Gardens has been closed for awhile and does not look to be reopening as a wedding venue.

I had the privileged of creating some beautiful bridal portraits this past weekend at Zaza Gardens.  A relatively new wedding venue, Zaza Gardens blends the perfect mixture of historic architecture with classic beauty.  Updated and renovated from an old pickle factory Zaza Gardens sits in downtown San Antonio, and provides brides and grooms with a versatile venue that works great for ceremony and reception.

The garden area, complete with contemporary pool sets a perfect atmosphere for outdoor ceremonies.  The reception can be split between indoor luxury and the outdoor courtyard, giving couples the flexibility needed for Texas weddings.  In fact it is almost impossible to not fall in love with this venue and I urge anyone shopping locations to set up an appointment to tour the facilities.

Lea, who tends to bookings and venue coordination was gracious enough to allow me to tour the facility and create some promotional photographs of the venue.  Later in the evening I had the opportunity to create some stunning bridal portraits using Zaza Gardens as the perfect backdrop.  It is so easy to be inspired by the building, architecture, and atmosphere.  For the photographer Zaza Gardens has the perfect blend of charm, light, location, and look.  For the engaged couple Zaza Gardens has the charm you may be looking for.
