Making a wedding list can be the most daunting task of wedding planning. Time and time again, when I ask my couples “what is your biggest pain point of wedding planning?”, they say “figuring out who I want as a guest at my wedding”. I wanted to help these couples make these difficult decisions. BUT […]

The Wedding Day at Gateway Canyons Gateway Canyon Resort in Colorado was such an unexpected, amazing surprise for a wedding in 2020. One thing I never expected when I moved to New Mexico: when you work in one place in the southwest, you work in the entire southwest. Since this part of the United States […]

Let’s talk about wedding ceremonies! You probably think there’s no way there could be tips for enhancing the photography aspect of a wedding ceremony. You just go up there, say some vows, do some kissing, wear a new ring, prance back down the aisle like a happy gazelle, right? Well yeah. BUT! There are ways […]

Love wins. That’s really all there is to say. But, to explain: Andrea and Susan got married in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic and had to jump through and unreal amount of hurdles to do it. These two went through so many different options. Their big wedding had to be called off. Their plans to elope in a national park got thwarted by travel restrictions. Time and time again their plans had to be changed to fit the unpredictable roller coaster that is 2020. Finally, this plan worked. And it unfolded beautifully.

Think about the amount of time it would take for you and your bridesmaids/families to get ready. Then add two hours. Yes, seriously. Hair and makeup frequently goes overtime and you want to be able to relax and breathe. The most important part of getting ready is just being able to hang out with the people you’re surrounded by! Accompanied by Beyonce and mimosas, usually. Bonus: the more time you have leftover, the more time you have to get some photos done of yourself and the bridal party! The more photos you knock out early, the more free time later on.

In my six years of shooting over 75 weddings, there’s questions I’ve been asked by clients to give them the peace of mind to document their wedding days. Weddings only happen once and can’t be recreated! Because of this, it’s absolutely necessary to find a photographer who has experience, confidence, and integrity. Here’s some questions to ask as you begin your adventure of finding the perfect photographer!

No lie, I must have gasped at least 100 times at this wedding. This is a shining example of what I want for every couple: a wedding day that reflects exactly who you are, incorporates the things you love, and makes you feel completely at home, surrounded by the things you value most. Everything about Kailey and Matt’s wedding day just screams THEM. No one besides them had a say in how to decorate, no one protested their desire to do anything unconventional. They invited the people that meant the absolute most to them. Because of this, their wedding was completely unforgettable because there will never be anything exactly like it. It was unapologetically everything that Kailey and Matt are and more. I’m SO excited to show this day off!

Here I am again with another Fall session in the northeast when it’s basically summer in the southwest. I cannot WAIT to go back to having regular work to show off but I am definitely grateful for the opportunity to blog October sessions, which never happens any other year! This is Mary and Nate. They […]

Most couples‘ weddings are their first. Other than occasionally attending a cousin’s wedding or being a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding, most have very little experience with how weddings go down. This is a whole new life experience and can definitely be scary to jump into! With whole new emotions, a luxury event, being the center of attention; there’s a lot to consider! That’s why I asked my past clients and friends for advice to give to future brides and grooms.
