The Pearl Farmer\u2019s Market is so popular; we love shopping local vendors for produce, salsas, cheeses, and all kinds of wonderful goodies. I will admit that The Pearl has a special place in my heart because I\u2019ve been photographing sessions there for years. On top of that, my husband and I had our first date at one of my favorite restaurants there, La Gloria. He also proposed at the amphitheater, and we got married in the same spot.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seaworld San Antonio<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located just 20 minutes from the River Walk, SeaWorld San Antonio is one of the ultimate entertainment spots in the city.
