As some of you might know, I have a serious sweet tooth, especially for desserts. So it was a treat to get to photograph some of the cakes from ABC Cake Shop. We had a blast hanging with Paul and photographing cake for the evening. Thanks, Paul for the opportunity to work with you and thanks also to the Hyatt Tamaya for letting us use their incredibly picturesque resort as a backdrop.

Kelly and Trahern were married on June 19th at the less old of the two old San Ysidro Churches in Corrales and a reception at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort in Bernaillo.   This is their wedding book hot off the press and featuring Dry Heat Signature Album Design!

To Kelly and Trahern, thank you so much for making me a part of your Special Day!

P.S. Totally random side note, when I went to Kelly’s house to start the photos prior to the ceremony she showed me her goldfish who had reached the ripe old age of 15 years!

Atsuko and Conrad were married back in April in the Hummingbird Garden at the Hyatt Tamaya.  You all may recognize Atsuko and Conrad from their engagement session back in March.   The wedding was loads of fun and quite educational.  I learned about some Japanese wedding traditions, mainly, tea, fruit trees and sake but I’ll get to that a little further down the post.  Linda Mertz from Awakened Weddings presided over the ceremony and did a spectacular job as always.  Thanks, Conrad and Atsuko for letting me be part of your special day.

The very cool tea set for the ceremony. 

These traditional wooden sake cups were pretty sweet.  As was the smashing of the sake barrel.  I can honestly say that in 15+ years of shooting weddings, I have never seen anything like this.  Nor had I ever tasted sake, note to self, when drinking sake from a wooden box, drink from the corner otherwise you’ll end up with a little mess. 

I couldn’t resist the graphics on this one, just in case there wasn’t enough excitement in smashing a sake barrel with a wooden mallet.
