Bianca and Sergio Zapico’s sleek black-and-white celebration was everything we love about modern romance, with just the right amount of timeless elegance! And here’s what makes it even more special: they made history by being the very first couple to tie the knot at the gorgeous new Kimpton Santo San Antonio Riverwalk Hotel, setting an absolutely beautiful standard for this stunning new venue.

Here’s what had us swooning: their private vows were hands down their favorite moment of the entire day. While their guests waited, Bianca and Sergio stole away for the most intimate exchange of promises, just the two of them. It’s those quiet, sacred moments that really make a wedding day unforgettable.

Stella Shots Media was absolutely perfect behind the lens, capturing every single moment with that editorial magic we’re obsessed with. You know how some photographers just have that special eye? That’s exactly what happened here. The couple had fun with some creative portraits, looking effortlessly cool in sunglasses by the hotel’s pool.

Cello Vida provided the most beautiful strings during the ceremony that had all the guests feeling so emotional. They really went above & beyond, even inviting the couple into their home to select the perfect songs for their wedding. But the music didn’t stop there. Mariachi Azul San Antonio welcomed guests into cocktail hour and set the mood for a fun night!

But here’s our favorite detail: guests actually got to create a collaborative painting for Bianca and Sergio throughout the night! How cool is that? Instead of a traditional guest book, everyone contributed to this gorgeous artwork that the couple will treasure forever. Such a meaningful keepsake that’s way more fun than signing your name on a piece of paper.

Bianca and Sergio pulled off the kind of celebration that perfectly captured who they are as a couple. What a beautiful start to forever! ✨
