We are going to be taking family pictures in June. We are looking for something "Texasy".?

Question

Does anyone have any suggestions for an outdoor location shoot in or around San Antonio?

Answer 1

Please diregard the BITTER comment above as I believe he's ranting in the wrong section.  I believe the Alamo is about the most recongized Texas monument in the US so be sure to snap pictures outside as last time I went no pics are allowed to be taken inside.  Also take some time to check out the famous riverwalk take a small boat and see all the nice shops and restaurants along the way.

Answer 2

Make sure you get a shot next to a lazy Mexican, nothing says "Texas" like a dirty immigrant taking a job from an American and doing a half *** job for a quarter of the pay.

Answer 3

I would suggest the Alamo too.  You can take photos outside it if you would like, but you cannot take it inside because it is a mission or church.

There's also a lot of other misions around town that might have more space to take a "landscape" like photo.  Especially Mission San Jose with the rose window.  Even though I'm a native Texan and shouldn't say this, Mission San Jose is really a bit prettier than the Alamo.  But of course the Alamo is more reconizable as a Texas landscape.

And yes, please disregard Joe B's comment. That's not a very friendly Texas thing to say.  Let's hope he's just visiting.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I don't think you can beat the Alamo for something Texasy in San Antonio.
