Wedding Photography Built on Experience

Wedding photography for me was “love at first sight” — the perfect profession, the perfect outlet for creativity, and a natural fit for my people skills. Weddings are never sad, never boring, and no two are ever the same. After all of this time, I still love every second of every wedding.

Real Weddings. Real Emotion. No Forced Performance.

My philosophy is that all weddings are amazing - but they are stressful. My job is to bring calm to everyone by using my excellent people skills, make everyone feel at ease and have fun, focus on documenting the day as if I were a reporter, and lastly, deliver images to my clients that show them a story of their day which always include moments and scenes that if it weren’t for my presence, they would have missed forever.

I begin the editing process every time I raise the camera to my eye. I compose the frame, inspect all the elements I see, chose the perfect exposure and calmly press the shutter. The image is born. Then, in the editing room, I apply simple changes to make that composition a perfect image. My photos are not overly posed, my candid photos are real and not forced and the end result are photos that become timeless and never seem outdated. The color, the cropping, the content - all natural and they reflect you and your special day.

From Sandia Mountain sunsets and Old Town architecture to bosque settings and established local venues, Albuquerque weddings offer extraordinary variety for photography.

Historic adobe architecture, destination venues, mountain light and the Santa Fe Plaza create a completely different photographic environment.
