I realize that Dry Heat Photography does not specialize in cat photography but as I’m sitting here at 1:30 in the morning working on the blog I also have three curious cats trying to climb under and over my MacBook and basically treating me like their personal jungle gym. Anyone who knows me knows that I am benevolent to creatures and have an extra special weakness for kitties. That being said – please do not start bringing your unwanted cats to my office ;-) Let me introduce my girls;

This session was last Saturday and was actually supposed to be the same day as the Mike and Carol 10th Anniversary party but was rained out the first time. Anyway, I met up with Angela and Shane at the Elena Gallegos Open Space at 3:00 in the afternoon. Just in time for the clouds but before the daily downpour. When Angela initially came in to talk to me about shooting her wedding we realized that we knew each other already as I had actually shot her sister, Monica’s, wedding several years ago. I was working for another studio at the time so it took us a few minutes to figure it out. Angela even brought in Monica’s wedding album so I could look it over. What a kick!

What a fun gig this was! Rick and I shot it last week on Friday at the Indian Cultural Center. Mike and Carol are just the nicest people! As it turns out, Carol works at Say It With Cake. Needless to say then, the cake was excellent. Birdie and the rest of the staff were also in attendance. Justin Johnson from Complete Music was in charge of the entertainment and the whole thing was just a blast. Thank you Mike and Carol for making us a part of your special day!

John and Wilma were married 50 years ago but, at the time, they did not have a big fancy wedding. So today, on their 50th Anniversary, John and Wilma do it up right and celebrate with all their family at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort!

Here are some images taken at the recent wedding of Christin and Matthew Montano. The wedding was on July 12, and it was amazing!
Christin and Matthew are a perfect pair. They have been together for a long time, and are truly made for each other.
Both the ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Hotel Albuquerque, and I had a great time being there that evening.
Christin and Matthew, you are a beautiful couple and I wish you many, many years of happiness together!!

Leigh and JD are engaged to be married on September 20, 2008. This past week I spent some time with them and their children in the mountains.
Leigh and J.D. are a perfect match, very laid-back and fun loving. We had a blast shooting these, as you can see from these images.


Leigh and J.D. , I’m looking forward to shooting your wedding. See you soon!

Introducing Caroline and Michael

This past week I spent some time at one of our favorite places to shoot, Ellena Gallegos park.
I was met there by Caroline and Michael, and their adorable little 4 legged friend. Caroline and Michael will be married October 18, 2008. They are an awesome couple and here is their story….
Caroline was a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin and Michael, a senior, was working at the front desk in her dorm. The day they met, Michael was playing a “Third Day” CD, Caroline’s favorite band, as she was walking by. Desiring to have a conversation with the mystery “Third Day” listener, she approached: “Excuse me, is that a Third Day CD?” Michael began to panic and thought maybe he was about to be fired for listening to Christian music on a secular college campus. Thankfully this wasn’t the case. A 45- minute conversation and the interest in one another ensued. After dating for one year at UT, Michael graduated and enlisted in the US Army. The relationship continued long distance while Michael was stationed in Savannah, Georgia and deployed to Iraq. After three years of having a long distance relationship, Michael was assigned to Albuquerque, New Mexico where Caroline was also able to enter Graduate school. AT LAST, they were together again! After almost two years of being reacquainted with one another they decided they were ready to join their lives together!


Congratulations Caroline and Michael! See you guys on the big day!!
