N.D. Kalu Youth Football Camp Event

Batts Media Group is delighted to bring to you a spirited chronicle of an inspiring event – the N.D. Kalu Youth Football Camp was held at Cornerstone Christian Schools in San Antonio, Texas.

Former NFL Defensive End N.D. Kalu, known for his ferocious tenacity on the field, showcased his commitment to mentoring future generations by hosting the camp. The event was a thrilling convergence of sport, education, and community development. Adding to the high stakes atmosphere were several NFL greats who lent their expertise and shared their experiences with the enthusiastic young participants.

One of the unique facets of the camp was the integration of holistic athletic education. Distinguished orthopedic surgeon Dr. Antonio Webb delivered an enlightening discussion based on his book, “Overcoming the Odds.” His presentation served as a potent reminder of the resilience required, not just in sports, but in all walks of life.

The event also brought to the forefront critical health issues concerning athletes. Renowned sports cardiologist, Dr. Travis Batts, presented his groundbreaking program – Everyone Can Assist, or E.C.A. The program emphasized the importance of healthy lifestyles for athletes and shed light on the often overlooked topic of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in athletes. E.C.A gives young athletes the ability to learn basic life saving techniques and exposure to Automatic External Defibrillators (AED).

The N.D. Kalu Youth Football Camp went beyond the traditional boundaries of a sports event. It was a melting pot of athletic training, inspirational talks, and crucial health education. The fusion of sporting icons with medical professionals offered an enriched learning environment, molding our youth into well-rounded athletes equipped to tackle any challenges they may encounter on and off the field.

Daughters of the American Revolution | San Antonio Event Photography

Daughters of the American Revolution Event:

Batts Media Group had the pleasure of capturing a historic event that reflects the pride and heritage found in San Antonio. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) America 250 Patriots Marker project has been established to raise public awareness of the men and women who achieved American independence. The National Society’s goal is to place at least one marker in every state in advance of the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary in 2026. The Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution is proud to place the first America 250 marker in Texas at the Spanish Governor’s Palace in recognition of the essential contributions made by Spanish ranchers in the quest for American independence.

The event was filled with optimism, pride and hope as the members of the Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution were joined by national leaders of the storied organization. DAR members in attendance who participated directly in program were Pamela Wright (President General), Susan Greene Tillman (Vice President General, NSDAR), Lynn Young (Commissioner, U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission), Suzanne Marie Heske (Historian General, NSDAR), Kathryn Walker West (National Chair, America 250! Committee, NSDAR), Marcy Carter-Lovick (State Regent at TXDAR), Katherine Louise Johanns (State Chair, America 250! Committee, NSDAR), GeorgiAnne Uribe Brochstein (State Chaplain, Texas Society DAR), Donna Miller Raymond (Honorary State Regent), Judy Callaway Ostler (Honorary State Regent, Texas Society DAR) and Betty Sue Bird (State Historian, Texas Society DAR). In addition to the Daughters of the American Revolution members in attendance, governmental officials and representatives from many Hispanic heritage societies were present to participate in the historic occasion.

This project was unique in its efforts to highlight the sacrifice played by Spain in America’s freedom. The essential role played by Spain in the fight for American independence is not a story many of us learned in school, yet members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) have traced their lineage to more than 500 Spanish Patriots who were residents of Spanish Louisiana or Nueva España, which included portions of the present-day states of Texas, California, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, as well as Mexico. Spain also supported American forces with money, food supplies, uniforms, blankets, medicines, weapons, and munitions.

In 1780, Carlos III, the King of Spain, issued a royal decree that all subjects in Nueva España make a voluntary contribution, or donativo, of one or two pesos to help fund the American Revolution. In 1781, Spain provided financing for the Battle of Yorktown with gold and silver coins collected in Havana, alleviating the financial difficulties faced by General George Washington and the Continental Army. Spain also financed French land and naval forces critical to the American war effort and ultimate victory at Yorktown. Here in Texas, Spanish ranching activity had reaching “astonishing proportions” in the 1770s and 1780s, as documented by the Honorable Robert H. Thonhoff in his seminal work “The Texas Connection with the American Revolution.” The area now occupied by present-day San Antonio was home to the Presidio de San Antonio de Béxar, which included the Spanish Governor’s Palace, residence of the presidio’s senior ranking officer.

SAAC Kappa COVID-19 Event:

Batts Media Group had the pleasure of capturing a moment that epitomizes an ever growing movement. Whether it be the negative health impact COVID-19, social unrest or political underrepresentation, the San Antonio Alumni Chapter (SAAC) of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was galvanized to create, cultivate and collaborate for change.

The event was filled with optimism, hope and an over arching theme of progress. The SAAC of Kappa Alpha Psi partnered with a host of community groups to include: Resurrection Baptist Church, ADMT Solutions Home Health Care, Galen College of Nursing, Radical Registrars and Bright Consulting Solutions. The air was electric as the energy of the event permeated thoughts, attitudes and conversations.

Resurrection Baptist Church provided the perfect setting for such an awe-inspiring event. Prior to entering the building voter registration officials worked to ensure all were registered to vote and understood the power they welded in their vote. The patient flow to the Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic was impeccable. With adequate social distancing and one-way flow, individuals moved seamlessly from vaccine delivery room to observation room. At this point, Galen College provided health screening information ranging from blood pressure checks to blood sugar screening.

South Texas Alamo Derby Event:

Batts Media Group had the unique opportunity to participate in one of San Antonio’s newest events, The South Texas Alamo Derby. The event draws its roots from the Kentucky Derby, but has quickly grown into one region’s premier events.

The kick-off event for this year’s South Texas Alamo Derby was the Wine & Cheese Reception featuring the vocal talents of Mr. Naybu Fullman. Bella on the Vine Event Center provided an atmosphere of elegance and romance, as the soulful sounds of Mr. Fullman’s vocals, echoed though of banquet hall. The Wine & Cheese Reception provided a prelude to the signature events planned for the coming weeks.

The South Texas Alamo Derby provides pageantry with a purpose, as proceeds benefit a great cause, the Alpha Educational Fund/Youth Programs. The energy, passion and attention to detail shown in the organization of the South Texas Alamo Derby’s Wine & Cheese Reception is truly a reflection of the selfless nature of the South Texas Alamo Derby organizers.

Dunn Graduation Party | San Antonio Event Photography

By | Blogs, Event Photography, Photography, San Antonio, Texas

The Dunn Graduation Party Event:

Graduation from professional school or advanced degrees are often a less celebrated endeavor. However, for the individual, these moments in their life serves as an important milestone to career progression or a start of a new career. In any case, the attainment of an advanced degree speaks not only to the dedication and commitment of the student, yet speaks volumes to the support of their family.

The Dunn Graduation Party Event was nothing short of amazing. This display of love was a heart warming reminder that family truly matters. Sharonda Dunn made preparation at one of San Antonio’s premier Italian eateries. Paesanos at Lincoln Heights provided the perfect backdrop of elegance and style for this awe-inspiring event. As friends and family members filled a beautifully adorned wine room, the chatter of excitement loomed as onlookers awaited the arrival of Brian Dunn, the guest of honor.

One of the more unique aspects of this shoot, was the ability to organize, orchestrate and coordinate all of the actions required, without Mr. Dunn knowing. Mrs. Dunn took special care to ensure he was truly surprised. This effort is one that truly reflects her love and appreciation. Batts Media Group was delighted to share in such a special event.

Texas Society of Professional Engineers Proclamation Breakfast | San Antonio Event Photography

By | Blogs, Event Photography, Photography, San Antonio, Texas

Texas Society of Professional Engineers Proclamation (TSPE) Breakfast Event:

Batts Media Group had the opportunity to participate in our nation’s key event for engineering professionals. Engineers Week was founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). The goal of Engineers Week or E-week is to foster continued growth in diversity, understanding and interest in engineering. The Bexar Chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers kicked off E-week with their signature Proclamation Breakfast which highlights the accomplishments of young engineers. The E-week Proclamation Breakfast event also names, this year’s Young Engineer of the Year Award.

The shooting experience was phenomenal. The quaint, yet exquisite beauty of the Magnolia Halle Urban Barn, provided the perfect backdrop for engineering professionals to highlight a long list of accomplishments culminating in the announcement of the Young Engineer of the Year.

This year’s E-week events have special significance, as it was unclear if COVID-19 restrictions would thwart the efforts of the TSPE Bexar Chapter to hold any of the E-week events including the SMPS E-week Mixer, Family Fun 5K Nerd Run and the elegant Engineer of the Year Banquet. E-week traditionally occurs during the month of February (Feb 23-27) in coordination with President George Washington’s birthday (February 22nd). The TSPE Bexar Chapter delayed the event with guarded optimism as they awaited further information regarding COVID-19 restrictions in the San Antonio area. Once local constraints permitted in person meeting, the TSPE Bexar Chapter went to work planning, formatting and successfully completing the kickoff event for Engineers Week 2021.

Spartans 8 Man Football | San Antonio Sports Photography

Spartans 8 Man Football Project:

Batts Media Group has the opportunity to witness one of Texas’s most unique events, 8 Man Football. Modern day gladiators take the field to partake in civilized warfare to determine, who will dominate south Texas. This battle was for a noble cause to raise awareness to breast cancer.

Breast cancer impacts the lives of over 200,000 women each year and the Spartan wanted to show their solidarity in the Breast Cancer Awareness Bowl. The Cougars Den Sports Complex provided the venue where teams from near and far united to fight breast cancer.

The Spartans were the last game of the day. They were set to battle one of South Texas’ powerhouse teams, The South Texas Sharks. Early on, the Sharks jumped out to a lead behind the nimble footwork of the Sharks’ speed running back. The Spartans true to their name, fought back with defensive dominance forcing two critical turnovers to shift the tide of the game! As the setting sun cast a golden hue upon the field, the Spartans truly could treasure a hard fought victory.

Will and Teresita Scott 25th Wedding Anniversary Event:

Batts Media Group had the pleasure to be a part of a truly special event. Will and Teresita Scott invited our team to take part of their 25th Wedding Anniversary. The couple’s storybook romance started in high school and continued to blossom as the over the past three decades.

Words cannot describe the beauty of the event. Set in the majestic Texas hill country, the picturesque forest green hills, line the horizon as an amber sunset slowly drifts into the evening. Friends and family admire the smartly placed teal and silver decorations that punctuate the well manicured Scott estate.

Although the couple made clear the event was about them, they created an environment that made all who attended feel like they were a part of something truly special. The night was capped off when national recording artist, John Philip of PhilFreeMusic, performed his brand new single, “Eternally”. This song provided the soundtrack to the couple’s amazing love story.
