Meet the McKnights~

One of my last 3 weddings in the states, and it was held at the famous River Walk Marriage Island this evening under calm skies and light winds... and it was wonderful! I have such a personal attachment to my clients, and this couple was no exception. In fact, as Jennifer and I stood in her suite talking about the ceremony I welled up. Just after Matthew came to me bag in hand, Jeni was giggling "Go ahead Deb, open your gift!" My gift? Me... a gift? But its your day?
That's what kind of people Jennifer and Matt are. Beautiful, thankful, humble, kind, and amazing! In the box was an amazing bracelet with a camera charm!!! It was custom made just for me and it was incredible! I will cherish this forever... so thoughtful of you both. I love it!

Clayton joined me this wedding, playing with his new Mark II... I'm so jealous! :) So together we started snapping images of the bride preparing for her groom, as the groom grabbed a drink at the bar in the lobby of the Historic Mengar Hotel. Then we all waited, as Jen opened the patio door and walked up to an anxiously awaiting Matt. It was so wonderful to watch that first look. Matthew cried, I just love when they do that!

We all headed to Marriage Island where Rev. Henry Kahl performed the ceremony for the excited couple. Following the ceremony we took portraits of the bride and the groom then set them free to an evening at the Achiote Cafe' at the Hyatt.

Thank you for my beautiful bracelet! Thank you for allowing me the honor of being the one to capture this precious moment in your lives. It has been a pleasure! Oh, and I have to tell you that it takes one heck of a woman to climb a cement post in the middle of the street just for that "money shot", as Jen put it! You're the best girl!

Huge thank you to Clayton Austin for his beautiful video of Jennifer and Matthew!!! He has MAD skills!!!! (Be sure to turn off the volume for this blog before playing video) :)
