Somewhere around 5 years ago I had a vision of taking a bride and groom out to some of the most spectacular New Mexico landscape that I knew of for a session. I had a picture in my head of a long veil, a blue sky, and an expanse of gray New Mexico clay hills anchoring it all together. I had gone out to this location a few other times for shoots but on this day it was a bit different. David and Kris booked me for their wedding day coverage with this day-after vision in mind so I knew I had to dig deeper. I will start by showing off their day-after session images – because sometimes its fun to have dessert before your dinner. 😉

 

Tomas and Alex’s wedding was such a special, emotion-driven, and fun-filled day. The setting was special to Tomas’ family since the Luna Mansion is part of his family heritage. Family and friends all came together to make this day so memorable. We even got to do a day-after session out on the mesa. The session featured everything I love about shooting in the high desert -> sweeping views of the New Mexico landscape, a couple in love, a setting sun, and the glow of warm candlelight.

Big thanks to Karen of Celebrations! Events and Weddings for making this whole day come together so effortlessly. Also to Thao Trinh for second shooting this wedding with me and capturing some stunning images for the bride and groom.
