Congratulations to the beautiful couple! It was an honor to document such a wonderful ceremony. You can see more photos from the wedding on my archive where prints are also available for purchase.

I spent a wonderful afternoon going to White Mesa with Michael and Juliette to make some engagement portraits last week. It gave me a chance to get to know them better before I photograph their wedding in the fall, and I like to think it helps them get comfortable and be natural and relaxed with the camera. There are a few more pictures of the happy couple on my archive.

I love the football game on in the background while the guys get ready, the little details matter.

There are so many more great photos from this wedding in the password protected galleries, but you have to know the couple to see those. Congratulations and many thanks to the wonderful family.

Kim and Chuck got married at the Botanical Gardens of ABQ BioPark. Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

Christopher and Kemle’s wedding in Rio Rancho New Mexico at the beautiful Hyatt Tamaya Resort & Spa on June 18, 2010. Congratulations to the happy couple.

As always, I strongly suggest using the full-screen button at the bottom right corner of the gallery to view the photographs.

I had a opportunity to work as second photographer with my new friend Eric Cousineau at Bill and Emily’s wedding at La Posada de Santa Fe. It’s only the second time I’ve worked as the second shooter at a wedding, and it’s  a little strange for me because I don’t know the couple heading into the day, but it’s also fun because it’s my job to try to see things the primary photographer can’t, which is how I try to approach most things I photograph. Seeing the beauty that most people take for granted, or don’t see because they are too busy.

As always, I urge you to click on the full screen button at the bottom right corner of the gallery.

Congratulations to the bride and groom!

My friends Anne and Lieb got married last year and welcomed their son Rhys in December. They had a party last weekend to celebrate and asked me to document the fiesta for them.

Today (June 8th) Rhys (the baby happily being handed about and adored in these picture) is having surgery to repair one of his kidneys. He is going to be just fine, but do me a favor and say a prayer for him if that is your thing or just send him good thoughts. (UPDATE: Rhys is out of the hospital and doing just fine) He is without a doubt the coolest babies I have ever met, must be a Sagittarius thing.

Of all the  titles I hold, I’m probably most proud to be called an uncle. That is why I and the rest of my family are so excited for the arrival of my newest niece in the coming weeks. Stay tuned everyone, much more to come.

Intimate. Emotional. Non-traditional. Real. Beautiful.

These are just a few words that, in my mind, describe Jakob and Casey’s wedding this past February in Northern New Mexico. The ceremony was held at the grooms parents home, and the brides father preformed the ceremony. As the photographer, I was the only non-family member at the ceremony, one of those many amazing things about my life as a photographer that I truly relish.
