Normally our couples tend to meet through virtual matchmakers… aka dating apps and sites. However, Sharaf and Naima actually met through a matchmaking service, which we think is incredibly cool. Naima explained that she went on one awful date after the next, and she finally decided one day that she needed someone else to look […]

Katie and Ian were wed last Friday in the stunning southern Missouri city of Branson. We’ve known Katie for years, having shot her maternity pictures, a couple family sessions with her adorable daughter Mia (the most recent, super glowy one you can view here), and of course she and Ian’s incredible engagement photos (which you […]

Hailey and Evan met when they were much younger at a summer camp. They became fast friends playing cards and soaking in the summer bliss hanging out with each other all week… but when the camp came to an end, they went their separate ways. Fast forward 5 years, Evan moved back to Albuquerque and […]

After an extra year of waiting, we finally were able to shoot these two cuties’ wedding— and we have to say, it was worth the wait! Victoria and Aaron’s day was absolutely beautiful and full of so much joy, as it was practically radiating off the couple. Furthermore, you could tell how happy their close […]

When I called Rebecca to go over her timeline for her wedding, I could hear the fear in her voice. The fear that they would have to postpone their special day again thanks to COVID, or if they decided to have their wedding, the fear that her family and friends wouldn’t be able to attend. […]

Karissa and Jason started planning their wedding back in 2018, when we did their engagement photos… and shortly after found out some news: it would no longer be just the two of them. Her best friend remembers her making the comment, “I can’t gain even five pounds, or I won’t be able to fit into […]

We get to see a lot of stunning wedding cakes in this business— surprising, we know. But over the years, the creativity for not only cakes, but wedding desserts and treats in general, has really blown our minds! Gone are the days of the stark white cake, and the trend of “naked” wedding cakes has […]

Eric and Cristina are like most modern couples: a dating app success story! They started on “plenty of fish,” but it wasn’t a great time for Cristina to be kindling a new relationship, as she had just moved home (here in NM) from her PA residency in Michigan and was getting into the swing of […]

We first met Sarah and Lance back in 2019 for their incredibly glowy, desert-themed engagement session (which you can view here), back when they were supposed to be married in April of 2020… And in the vein of this past year’s events— we all know that that was unable to happen. After postponing their wedding […]

Christi and Clay’s meeting was something out of a romantic comedy, as what initially brought them together was a funeral. See, Christi and Clay’s parents actually grew up together and were friends into their 30’s, but then her mom moved away and they lost connection, and that’s when Christi was born. While the person who […]
