Over the summer we had the honor of photographing this darling elopement. Over a candlelit, intimate ceremony done at the historic Hacienda Vargas adobe chapel, Charlotte and Jacob traveled all the way from the east coast to join together in holy matrimony. Together with their precious daughter, we had a blast adventuring and taking their beautiful portraits!

I sincerely love engagement sessions. Especially with couples who are head over heels in love, down for any adventure and not afraid to get a little dirty! Kayla and Austin were no exception and were such a dream to work with. They didn't hesitate when asked to walk through the tall grass, weeds + cactus, they hiked up hills, and braved all the different desert elements. Not only did they travel from out of the state and set aside the time to get their engagement photos done, but they put all their trust in me and gave me the creative freedom to do my thing.
Ask any creative entrepreneur out there, that has got to be the. best. feeling. ever.
We explored one of my favorite, most coveted trails just outside of Albuquerque and got to know each other better. I love hearing all about my couples love for each other, and their wedding plans so far. I can't wait for their La Fonda/Coyote Cafe wedding in Santa Fe in a couple months.. Until then, here are just a few of the many favorite images from our time together!

Oh the Moorehead wedding...where to begin! The beauty.. The smiles.. The details.. The Fun.. The love.. It was all undeniably present. Every single aspect of Rosalyn and Aaron's wedding was pure perfection.
When Rosalyn chose us to be her wedding photographers we were incredibly humbled, super pumped and just a bit more nervous then normal. She is a photographer herself, so naturally, everything HAD to be just perfect! And that it was. Rosalyn incorporated her grandmothers vintage clutch, muted tones of Jade bridesmaids dresses, custom cut wood grain signage and chose soft tones for floral pieces, which all complimented the whimsical and timeless feel of their equestrian venue, La Mesita Ranch.
Aaron and Rosalyn, you two have turned from clients, to friends to now more like family to us, we adore you both, love love love your kiddos and absolutely LOVE your family! The venue was amazing, the wedding was out of this world breathtaking and the photos-lets just say I sobbed like a baby while prepping this post!

Meet Jacquelyn & Peter, both New Jersey transplants living in the beautiful Land Of Enchantment. We traveled up to the foothills for their engagement session where I learned more about their love! I'm obsessing over all the fun touches about this session. Firstly, Jacquelyn made, yes handmade her gorgeous tulle skirt while her mother crafted the beautiful oversized red rose! All so fun and complimenting to the different elements of the foot hills. I'm excited to get to know this sweet couple this next year and of course ecstatic to photograph their beautiful 2015 wedding!

It was a perfect day with just the right amount of sunlight for the lovely wedding of Charles & Alissa. The beauty and joy poured from every detail of their gorgeous day. From their touching "First Look" reveal, to their amazing vows, the sweet rose ceremony they did to honor both of their mothers, down to the hilarious surprise from the Best Man, during the ring ceremony! It was certainly a joyous day.
Both Alissa & Charles put so much thought and detail to make it absolutely perfect. So enough from me... here I give you Charles & Alissa's perfect day.

A huge thank you to my wonderful 2nd shooter, Emma Murphy!
A couple weeks ago, some of Albuquerque's most lovely and talented vendors got together and created absolute magic. The inspiration came from the timeless trend of illusion lace wedding gowns seen on the runway this season (also seen on Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian). It was a dream to photograph such a stunning, one of kind piece designed by Jasmine Bridal.
The dress, stunning Fatima, enchanting florals, out of this world beautiful diamonds, then adding a twist of classic yet bold bridal hair & makeup, plus the ever so gorgeous vineyard we shot at and the outcome is absolutely majestic.
