Anthony Gauna Photography

he wedding, including that we absolutely hate taking photos and feel super awkward in front of the camera. He listened to our concerns and took that into account when we did our engagement session; we ended up working out those jitters and felt incredibly comfortable by the end of it. This helped so much on the actual wedding day because we knew what to expect. I'm so eternally grateful to have had Anthony as our photographer; the photos are gorgeous and exactly what I hoped for. Thank you, Anthony!

ible to what we needed and was able to work around the craziness of our wedding, including some cacti. We look forward to working with Anthony again in the future. Would highly recommend!

ul photos for you and your partner. Now that we’ve received our photos we couldn’t be more pleased! My fiancé and I both feel that the they capture our personality well and he made us feel so beautiful and special. He also goes above and beyond for his clients (drove to meet us in rural hill country with no cell service, walked around in a creek with us to get the perfect shot). We cannot recommend Anthony enough!!

t uncomfortable space that exists between the beautiful and nebulous feeling that is love, and the frequent commercialism of said feeling. Anthony made it undeniably clear from the beginning that his only intention was to have fun, build relationships, and take great photos. What he does, in essence, is capture moments with an unparalleled level of authenticity. Looking over our photos, we get the sense that he really and truly knows us. How else could he capture images that so perfectly capture who we are and how we want to be seen?? I’d call it magic but I think it’s really more a combination of skill and caring. He will take the time to know you as human beings, and the relationships he builds create a space in which authentic moments have room to comfortably happen... that’s where the magic is. Plus whatever amazing technical/artistic things he’s able to do with that camera, obviously. Our original wedding was supposed to be about 6 weeks after this global pandemic hit (lol) so after a bunch of postponements and plan changes we ended up spending more than a year working with Anthony on this one “event”. Over that time he photographed our engagement session and our elopement, and spent many hours on the way having drinks with us, talking about our plans and plan changes, and generally being a source of relief and fun during this bizarre time. He’s also incredibly easygoing, which for us was very helpful since we never had a very clear or structured plan for anything. We consider him a true friend and I’m grateful to have found him. Can’t recommend him enough.

Anthony was beyond flexible, radiating positivity, adapting quickly to our changes (even giving recommendations), and our pictures came out warm, exceeding expectations. Anthony's true gift is capturing organic moments; he took photos of me with my mothers that can tell entire stories. Our photos have helped us feel like our wedding wasn't defeated by COVID-19, and that something beautiful came out of the stress and chaos. Thank you, Anthony, for gracefully documenting our special day that will certainly go in the history books.

ach other and drank some beer/wine/whisky) and were pretty much completely sold right then, but Anthony made sure we did not feel rushed or pressured in any way. He gave us time to think about things and reach out to other photographers before we booked with him. We then scheduled our couples session with him. Even though this was our first time meeting face-to-face, it felt like we were old friends already. Even so, having your photo taken a million times was not something either of us was used to, so having that time to connect with Anthony (while he was holding a camera) was a great way to get some of those jitters out before the big day :) And what a day it was! Anthony was an integral part of our ceremony, even more than most other photographers would have been. I couldn't recommend Anthony more. He was easy to talk to and communicate with throughout the entire planning process and the day of. My planner LOVED working with him and said he is one of her favorite wedding photographers now. Our photos were stunning! And we got our digital photos and our wedding album incredibly fast, especially considering we got married on 2/29/2020, right before everything shut down.

e very happy with the result and would gladly work with Anthony again for any of life’s professional picture taking moments.

fore talking any business. In this way, Anthony makes you feel like family. He's genuinely cares, he's responsive, and is super helpful throughout the entire process. We appreciated the the month-out survey and meeting that ensured we had a detailed game plan for the big day. And y'all, this guy creates magic. Anthony captures moments in the most beautiful and honest way, and is extremely dedicated - guests even noted he laid on the floor to get the perfect angle photo of our first dance. We had a semi-challenging/unique indoor performing arts theater wedding venue, and chose some pretty urban/concrete-filled spots for our couple's shoot, and literally everything came out beautifully vibrant, and just perfect! We can't wait for our book to arrive (btw - another easy but thoughtful process)! We highly recommend Anthony!

anted natural looking, fun photos and that’s exactly what we got. Anthony was warm from start to beginning, his suggestions were so fun and he incorporated naturally throughout our time together. I can’t say enough about his skills. HIRE HIM!

erywhere doing all the things during our big day and even though he worked solo, he was able to catch a ton of wonderful moments that was beyond the amount I'd have expected for a single photographer to do. The final products came out AMAZING and highlighted the best of us, our guests, and our court of honor. I cannot recommend Anthony enough!

or anyone in the San Antonio area!

ce, AGAIN! My husband and I are complete goofballs and incredibly awkward, but it didn't feel like that because Anthony was right there laughing with us and having fun. When we got our photos, again like lightning speed, they were absolutely perfect and I cried. I don't know how he does it, but he gets the pictures that I didn't even know I needed/wanted. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Anthony!! Cant wait for the next one! <3, The Harringtons

the eye and talent to capture the most beautiful photos. Anthony exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to receive our wedding photo album!

d so many personal touches. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, and we received them much sooner than expected, which was an awesome bonus! Thank you so much, Anthony!

hony had photographed my friends’ wedding. After a brief convo with them, we contacted Anthony for a meeting. He is so authentic and raw and all of that shows in his photography style as well. I love that in every single one of our photos, we look like we are living in the moment, and that’s because we were. He has a way of making us be ourselves and he just captured it. Anthony not only became a friend during this whole process, but he is now family. We couldn’t imagine our wedding having been photographed by anyone other than him and were thoroughly pleased with everything from beginning to end, including the ease for scheduling meetings, making payments, and overall communication. We even got our photos way sooner than expected and loved them all!

amazing, when we received our photos we kept saying “how and when did he capture this!” Anthony is a photo ninja. Oh, and the small personal touches Anthony gives throughout the process is incomparable. Thank you Anthony for the beautiful moments you captured – we couldn’t be happier!

so in love with all of the photos and cannot stop looking at them! Every bride needs to know that there are most definitely going to be things that go wrong. While a few handful of things were frustrating, Anthony was far from that list. From the very beginning, he has been the most amazing person (and vendor). He was hands down our #1 favorite. From start to finish, everything was easy, organized, fun, he was punctual, and more. His work truly reflects the experience you will have with him. I will be using him for any important life event sin our life, meaning we will be flying back to Texas from Seattle to do just that. We didn't just hire a photographer, we gained a friend :)

d many weddings, including his own!). On the day of he gets everywhere (in a good way!), lots of family members and friends mentioned how impressed they were with his presence throughout the night. Of course, the most important part is the pictures. I should say that I truly hate having my picture taken and am rarely ever happy with photos of myself, but Anthony's photos are absolutely incredible. I don't know how he managed to quickly and effortlessly capture such perfect images, but he truly did. He also tailored our couple's shoot on the spot, taking inspiration from the ceremony. I am beyond happy with our photos and the experience of working with Anthony and highly recommend his work!

ely suggested us to check Anthony´s portfolio. As soon as we checked his portfolio, we knew he had to document our day, so we didn't think twice and we reached out to him. Our wedding was very short notice, we planned everything in less than a month, and for that reason we were pretty scared that Anthony wouldn't have the time to fit us into his busy schedule, but he actually had that day available... It was certainly meant to be! Anthony is a fantastic person who makes sure to connect with him prior any photo session. The pictures we got are absolutely stunning - we love every single one of them! With Anthony you don't get the posing/standard photos, you get more than that!! Every photo tells our story, and it shows the real chemistry between Jeannie and myself. We got more of what we expected, Anthony made us feel super comfortable while capturing our first moment as a married couple. We laughed lots and really loved the guidance he gave us. If you ever need to hire someone to photograph your wedding in Texas don't hesitate and call Anthony! We highly recommend him. Thanks again for all these beautiful images, we will cherish them forever.

for us. Just from one of his cover photos we knew this guy had some serious talent behind the lense, but the awesomeness didn’t stop there. When we had our first Skype call with him it felt like we were talking to one of our best friends. Not only was he super cool but we were able to see that this isn’t just a job for Anthony, this is his passion and he truly cares so much about every single detail of your special day and the time leading up to it as well. He is unlike any photographer we have ever met. He doesn’t stage, no fake smiles or phony poses. He captures such raw beautiful moments. You don’t have to worry about the awkwardness that comes with being in front of a camera and a strange new person because Anthony becomes a friend hanging out with you that just happens to be taking pictures. The day of the wedding he was like a photographer ninja! Capturing every single moment and then some not skipping a beat. We got our photos back and MY GOODNESS he continues to amaze us with his work. Choosing Anthony was one of the best decisions we made. We walked away with the most beautiful memories and an awesome new friend!

t also how pleasant he is to work with and how much I like him as a person! Anthony photographed our engagement session and wedding. His photos are thoughtful and really capture emotion. There’s less posing and so much more depth. Every picture he took, I remember the moment and how I felt in that moment. He does all of this while being kind and courteous to guests. Everyone loved him! I will treasure these photos forever and can’t thank Anthony enough.

and obsess over his pictures before we even reached out to him to ask him to photograph our wedding. I was nervous in the way that you're nervous to talk to anyone that your admire. I am beyond grateful that he agreed to help us capture memories for our wedding. He made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. His approach felt natural and effortless. Its not easy having your picture taken but the results when we got our pictures were beautiful. I couldn't believe that we were looking as US!!! I've never been very confident in my appearance but when I looked at our pictures I truly felt beautiful. Not only that, but he captured the essence of the relationship Nick and I have and that was more beautiful than anything. During the wedding, he was fantastic. I feel like he went above and beyond to help us out and not because were family but because that is just the person he is. He is passionate about what he does and it shines through when you are working with him. He is so kind and understanding. There is no better person we could have had to do this for us. I didn't know how to write a review without sounding the least bit biased because I was marrying into his family. But I can honestly say with out a doubt I would have hired him no matter what. We didn't get a family discount. We didn't ask for one, and to be honest we wouldn't have wanted to regardless. Anthony's work is pure and wonderful and the way that it will make you feel just when you receive your pictures is beyond what I would have expected. Nick and I are truly grateful for the work he did and I am truly blessed to get to call him family now. I can't thank him enough.

and thoughtful person. It is so clear that he is passionate about authenticity, and that shines through all of his work very clearly as well as in every interaction we had with him. He ensured that we were comfortable throughout the photo shoots as well as on the day of the wedding. I have complete confidence in Anthony, and his reliability (both professionally and artistically) was such a valuable aspect of having him as our photographer. We are so incredibly pleased with our photos and are thankful to have gained a friend in Anthony in the process.
