One of the first things that Valerie said to me during our initial consultation was “I have to be honest with you, I hate being photographed.”  “Oh good”, I thought, “a challenge”.  Well, she wasn’t kidding. Valerie really doesn’t like to be photographed but she still wanted photos so we reached a compromise. I was would lay low, play it cool, keep it as simple as possible and she would smile when necessary. This worked out pretty good. The wedding was on November 15th at the Hyatt Tamaya in Bernalillo but I have also included a couple shots from their Engagement Session at the UNM Duck Pond since I just realized (way after the fact) that I had never blogged that session. Their Engagement Session was very short because about 15 minutes into it the sky let loose with a torrent of rain that seemed akin to the apocalypse. We ran for cover.

To Valerie and James, Thank you so much for making me a part of your special day and for smiling when necessary ;-)
