Editorial Policy

Who publishes this site

Valdovinos Photography is a portrait and wedding photography business in San Antonio, Texas. Articles are published under the business name rather than an individual byline. There is no invented author profile on this site — no fictional writer, no fabricated biography and no stock or generated portrait presented as a real person.

How the guides are researched

Guides covering rules, fees or permissions are written from primary sources. Where a specific requirement is stated — a permit fee, an application window, a restriction on where photography is allowed — the source is linked in a Sources block at the foot of that article so you can check it yourself.

Rules of this kind change without notice. The date on each article is the date it was published, and a visible Updated line appears whenever the content has genuinely been revised. Neither date is adjusted to make an article look fresher than it is.

Where AI assistance is used

AI tools are used to help draft and structure written content on this site. Drafts are reviewed before publication, factual claims about permits and fees are checked against the linked primary sources, and local detail is checked for accuracy.

Photographs currently shown across this site are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs taken by Valdovinos Photography. They are placeholders used while the site is being built, and they depict scenes and people that do not exist. They are not a portfolio, they are not client work, and they should not be treated as examples of what a session with Valdovinos Photography produced. To see actual work, ask for a portfolio directly on (210) 529-1513.

What this site will not publish

• Invented first-hand experience. You will not find claims on this site about specific sessions, clients or events presented as personal recollection.
• Prices that were not set. Service pages explain the factors that move a quote rather than publishing figures. If a number is not published, it is because it depends on your date, hours and venues.
• Ratings that were not earned. No star rating is displayed anywhere on this site. 3 Google reviews are quoted exactly as written, including one left without a written comment. See the reviews page for why no stars appear.
• Credentials, awards or affiliations that do not exist. No licence, certification, award or membership is claimed on this site.

Advertising and independence

This site may display third-party advertising. Advertisers have no involvement in what is written here and no ability to commission, review or influence any article or recommendation. How advertising cookies work is set out in the privacy policy.

There are no affiliate links on this site and nothing here earns a commission on a purchase. Venues, parks and suppliers named in the guides are named because they are relevant, not because of any commercial arrangement.
