A Little Something About Us

For as long as I can remember, I've always been "the guy with the camera",  but I became seriously interested in photography when our daughter got involved in high school sports. I honed my skills on the wrestling mats all around the country. Eventually, I transitioned into Wedding Photography, Portraiture and Boudoir. I  continue my education through attending photography conferences and workshops and by working with other photographers.

 

I've been married to my beautiful wife Gina for over 27 years! We have six wonderful children and six grandchildren. We enjoy traveling the world  as well as spending family time in our backyard.

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Don't forget to follow me on your favorite platforms as @magnoliagruene. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Client Reviews

Jorge Gallegos - San Antonio, Texas

"As a musician I can get so caught up in the details of the music that I forget about the little things. I was recording a live album and needed someone to capture moments (the little things). Magnolia Gruene stepped in and delivered! Incredibly captured moments that I get to cherish and share with my friends, family, and fans. They were so good that we hired them to capture moments for my little sisters engagement, and wedding photos."

"I just had my wedding photos taken and they were AMAZING! I am so in love with them all. He really listened to me in what I was expecting out of my pictures and he ran with it! My wedding was not your typical wedding. He dove in head first and took on the challenge. He is always available and responds very quick with answers to your questions. I am so very pleased with my photos and could not of gotten a better photographer,"

Working with Magnolia Gruene Photography was such a pleasure. They were very flexible, great communicators, and they really went the extra mile to get absolutely amazing senior pictures of my daughter. I will definitely use them again and would definitely recommend them!
