Wedding Season is in full swing for all 3 of us at Dry Heat Photography!

I spent this past weekend at the Hyatt Tamaya photographing the wedding of Michelle Black and Brian Downey. Rick, DeAnna and I all love the Hyatt Tamaya as it provides the perfect backdrop to capture Dry Heat Photography Wedding Art.
I have known Michelle for many years now, and it was a joy to see her marry her best friend Brian. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and I can truly say that the reception was like none other that I have ever seen.
MIchelle and Brian, you guys are a perfect match. The time I spent with you was wonderful and I wish you many, long, happy years together. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day!!


Congratulations Tara and J.M.!

Because it’s a dry heat!
After the ceremony, Tera, J.M. and I went out on the mesa behind the church for some photos. It had to be over 100 degrees out there and no little to no shade. At one point J.M. thought his shoes were going to melt to the sand stone. These guys were great sports to go out in that kind of heat for these shots. The wedding was in Rehoboth, NM, (that’s just a few miles outside of Gallup). The town now serves as a local Christian community. The bride and groom grew up here, they actually grew up two houses away from one another.
This shot, overlooking Rehoboth, is from the cemetery behind the new church. You can see the dirt road leading back into town. We needed a little bit of 4×4 action to get out here.

Hiking in the middle of the desert never looked so good.




This shot of Tera and M.J. is in front of the old Rehoboth church. The ceremony was held in the new church, which is considerably larger.

Thanks a lot you guys, the wedding was a blast! I can’t wait to take DeAnna there to check out that cemetery. We are always looking for new interesting spots along old Rt.66.
