Traveling to Valles Caldera National Preserve outside of Jemez Springs, New Mexico to capture Lacey and Patrick’s New Mexico elopement was incredible! Their intimate ceremony overlooked the breathtaking landscape of Valles Caldera National Preserve and it was truly an extraordinary sight. We hiked to the top of a hill with an incredible view of the volcanic field and Jemez mountains behind us. Their beautiful wedding photos are breathtaking.

Jade and Alex eloped at the amazing and scenic El Malpais National Monument outside of Grants, New Mexico. It was a beautiful November day and the weather was crisp, fresh, and just a tad chilly, but it didn’t get in the way of their fabulous wedding. Jade and Alex chose to tie the knot at El Malpais National Monument because they went on a date there when they were first falling in love. So El Malpais National Monument has a lot of special meaning to them. <3

I was ecstatic when Aurora and Juan asked me to photograph their engagement sesh as well as their wedding day. I’ve photographed these cuties at several weddings I’ve photographed and I’ve been rooting for Aurora to get that proposal because we had both patiently waited years for our boo thangs to pop the question. Their outlook on life, passion for their careers, and love for one another is truly remarkable. They’re literally #couplegoals!..

Documenting love stories is awesome in itself, but when you get to photograph the love fest of two of your besties is IN-FREAKING-IBLE! I absolutely love Sam, Joey, and their sweetie pie baby girl, Brynn. They are so much fun to be around, can dance up a storm at Dirty Bourbon, and are the kindest, most loving people I have ever met. When they asked me to capture their engagement photos, I knew we had to do something different and special for their sesh…
