Albuquerque Wedding Photography :: Albuquerque Botanic Garden :: Leah and Josh :: 9/17/11

Leah and Josh got ready at the Marriott Pyramid, where we shot most of the bride’s formal groups and portraits. Next, we headed to the Albuquerque Botanic Garden. There, we took advantage of the romantic natural light that illuminated the Rose Garden during the couple’s ceremony.

Afterward, we headed back to the Marriott Pyramid for a ballroom reception coordinated by Corazon Events for a great dance party. It was also pretty impressive that the groom had brewed his own beer to give to guests as wedding favors.  We felt privileged to be a part of Leah and Josh’s celebration!

Santa Fe Contemporary Wedding Photography :: La Posade de Santa Fe :: Stephanie and Matt :: 8/27/11

Stephanie and Matt’s wedding at La Posada de Santa Fe was huge! They had a large number of guests, many of whom came in from out of town, and a huge bridal party that knew how to have a great time. It was a destination wedding in our own backyard. While wedding photojournalism largely characterized our approach at this wedding, we were also able to get numerous creative portraits of the bride and groom and capture some exquisite details. We were excited to be part of Stephanie and Matt’s unforgettable day!

After years of diligent preparation, a young woman named Kriti gave a breathtaking dance performance at the African American Performing Arts Center. We were incredibly honored to be able to witness and photograph a beautiful and moving form of classical Indian dance, Bharatanatyam.

This event was one to remember, from the incredible, vividly colored costumes the dancer wore to the delicious Indian feast that followed the performance. We were pleased to be able to photograph this amazing event!

Destination Wedding Photography :: Moscow :: Katerina and Dustin :: 6/6/11

This wedding was one of the highlights of our summer.  We were blessed with the opportunity to visit Russia and photograph the wedding of beautiful Russian Katerina to charming American Dustin!

Their wedding ceremony took place at an old Anglican church in Moscow, followed by a sunny champagne celebration in the church’s garden and a reception at the nearby Romantic Chenonceau Hotel.  Before the reception, we traveled by limousine to Red Square where we photographed the bride and groom, as well as the wedding party, against the background of St. Basil’s cathedral and other striking landmarks.  The couple’s reception featured delicious Russian and European food, games, dancing, homemade raspberry-infused vodka, and warm and joyful toasts given by numerous members of the families and wedding parties.  It was an amazing party!

Before heading back to the states, we took the opportunity to visit St. Petersburg, the most beautiful place we had ever seen! We marveled at the famous Hermitage museum and explored the city on foot. We were also lucky enough to watch the traffic bridges go up for boats to pass through, and because the city is so far North, the sun never fully set. It was truly a Romantic and memorable adventure!

Staying busy!

This wedding season has been an amazing success.  As the owner/photographer/album designer/image processor, I take great care to make sure every couple receives the highest quality products and the best customer service I can provide.  Unfortunately, at this busy time of year I am often guilty of neglecting our blog.  So, if you’re looking at our little blog and wondering, do these guys get any work?!  The answer is, YES!  In the next few weeks we will be revisiting this season’s weddings (including a destination wedding in Moscow, Russia!) to give you some insight into what we’ve been up to.  Thanks for checking in and stay tuned!
