Whitney & Taylor in Wimberly, TX

The first time Whitney met Taylor he let her borrow his camera so she could take photos of their night out with mutual friends. The Bride Whitney Howard, 28, sales director The Groom Matthew (Taylor) Field, 28, realty company manager The Date September 27 So it was only fitting when a year-and-a-half later, Taylor used a photo op to propose. The couple was visiting friends in Washington, DC, and Taylor decided to pop the question at the Lincoln Memorial. When he and Whitney arrived at the Memorial, he set his camera up on a bench and said he was taking a picture with the timer. As Whitney stood smiling waiting for the flash, Taylor got down on one knee, recording the whole thing on video!
