The real star of the show - we loved including Penny in our day (even if she preferred to be home).

Right in front of the courthouse!

A little walk through this beautiful underside of a bridge on the Riverwalk!

Adding a little lock to commemorate our day at the downtown San Antonio love lock bridge!

Penny was having a blast sniffing through all of the different locks!

In the front steps of Hotel Havana, a historic hotel along the San Antonio Riverwalk that we stayed at during our wedding weekend!

The beautiful staircase in Hotel Havana! Unfortunately, they closed down a month after our wedding, so we were glad to be able to stay there before they closed!

Some more Hotel Havana "getting ready" pictures!

Penny was not a fan of the creaky floors at Hotel Havana, but she did love this couch!

The swanky tub in this Cuban themed hotel was absolutely gorgeous so you know we had to do a little photoshoot.

From our first trip together! We went to New Mexico during Spring Break 2022, and didn't check the weather so we were so ill prepared for snow. We made a cute little snowman though!

Our very first picture as a couple together that wasn't a selfie in May 2021!

Michael lived in Austin while Naomi finished up school in San Antonio from 2020-2022, so we would Facetime a lot. Michael also sneezes alot so there's a lot of these in our phones lol
