I photographed Ally and Collin’s wedding on August 12 at Hotel Albuquerque, Old Town. This wedding was a blast, it had all the makings of a perfect wedding; great location, wonderful weather and fun people. Karen Stallard from Celebrations! did the coordinating. As always, Karen’s team did a great job.
Thanks so much to Ally, Collin and your families for including me as part of your special day.

Arwen and Aaryn were married on August 9th in the Pecos mountains. Aaryn’s mom owns some land there and the ceremony was right out in nature. It was beautiful, wet, but beautiful. Arwen is Lee Champion’s daughter. Rick and I shot Lee and Rick’s wedding in May at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe. Incidentally, Rick and I shot this wedding together too. The reception was at Frankie’s Casa Nova in the town of Pecos. I think we may have gotten a little carried away with this blog entry – it will probably take a minute or so for all the photos to load. This is such a wonderful family – I hope they have some more relatives that want to get married because I would love to see them all again.

Thank you so much Arwen and Aaryn for making us a part of your special day!

If there was a thought bubble above my head it would say “I wonder if I’m in this shot?”

Beth and Scott were married on August 5th. The ceremony was at the UNM Alumni Chapel and the reception was at Embassy Suites. Because I do so enjoy pointing out coincidences and instances of “small world” I would like to mention that when Beth came to my office for her initial consultation she brought her maid of honor, Amanda Schaefer, with her and, as it turns out, I had photographed Amanda’s wedding several years ago at the Hyatt Tamaya. The thing that was coincidental about this is that neither of them realized who I was at first because I had shot Amanda’s wedding while working for another studio. It is amazing to me how frequently things like this happen. Anyway, back to Beth and Scott… We just had a blast all day. I am truely blessed to have such amazing clients! Thank you so much Beth and Scott for making me a part of your special day!
