The St. Anthony Hotel Ceremony

Mercedes and Jeremiah picked The St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio for their wedding. Known for its timeless style and elegant charm, the hotel gave them the perfect setting to say their vows. The architecture, lighting, and rich history helped create a warm and meaningful atmosphere for their big day.

What made this ceremony extra special was their choice of officiant. Jeremiah’s 17-year-old daughter led the day of ceremony, bringing a deeply personal touch to the moment. Watching her stand by their side and guide them through their vows showed just how close their family really is. It turned the wedding into a family celebration full of heart.

Since having a minor officiate isn’t always enough to make things legally binding, Mercedes and Jeremiah made sure their marriage was official with help from Texas Wedding Ministers. This step brought everything together in a way that honored both their love and the importance of doing things right.

The ceremony itself was short but full of emotion. It reflected the true bond between the couple and the love they share for each other and their blended family. Every part of the event was heartfelt and real, making it a day they’ll cherish forever.

Engagement Session on the Rooftop

Right after the ceremony, Mercedes and Jeremiah leaned into the fun part of their day: their engagement photo session. The lighting was just right, giving each photo a soft, dreamy feel that highlighted their connection.

Later, they found themselves snapping some playful shots in the hotel elevator. These pictures showed the fun side of their love and gave their photo album a unique twist. It was clear that they weren’t just serious about each other—they truly enjoy each other too.

Whether on the rooftop or in the elevator, Mercedes and Jeremiah made each moment their own. The day wasn’t just about tradition—it was about celebrating their love in ways that felt real to them.
