One thing that I will miss when I move will be the relationships I have made with all my great clients... One couple that I adore would have to be Hilary & William. I met the two of them right before their beautiful ceremony last year at the McNay Museum. Fountain side, with friends and family as witnesses, the two of them exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony followed by a small reception hosted by a close friends, including those via satellite over the Internet. It was one of my first, and still, one of my best times. I think the small ceremonies are so much more fun...
Today we all met up for an anniversary, of sorts... a portrait session to mark their big day. One year later. Pearl Brewery is the local of choice and dinner off S. Alamo was their treat at the sessions end. Didn't I tell you... fabulous people! We talked and talked, about the past year and year ahead. It was wonderful!
Thank you so much you two, I had a great time!!! Be sure to come see us when you come to Germany next year~
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) :)
This evening was beautiful! A light breeze was in the air as my friend Tracy, baby Jack, Grandma and Great-Grandma all headed with me the fields behind our homes for a photo shoot with 4 generations. It was amazing to see and be a part of. This was the first time everyone was here to see baby Jackson... I on the other hand, have known Mr. Jackson since he was in his moms belly. He was beautiful then too!!!
Thank you for allowing me the honor of photographing 4 generations of family. What wonderful memories indeed. I will miss you so much Tracy, you have been a wonderful friend! Army wives ROCK!!!
Your family is beautiful... I am so blessed.
I love this last image... three sets of hands on Jacksons head. Moms holding, grandma and great-grandma on each side. Beautiful!
