caitlin & walker, a wedding
what do you do when you chose to say 'i do' on a crazy hot june afternoon and the only time you can get married will put you outside at straight up noon and the best view of the venue would leave you facing the sun? why, you get yourself dolled up a few days before the wedding and see your groom at a lovely time of day and spend some quality alone with just him, and your photographers of course! that's just what caitlin and walker chose to do!
i met caitlyn at her home where her sister helped her with her hair and dress. the getting ready part of the day is always my favorite, emotions are high, one minute people are laughing and the next crying and then right back to laughing! being an emotionally drawn shooter, that's what I am always looking for, emotion written all faces and palpable in every room!
we met walker up at the albuquerque lds temple where he waas waiting to see his lovely bride, they shared a look and a few laughs and we were able to capture every minute. we were blessed with a glorious sunset that night and they were able to relax and enjoy the time that they would soon be married and the best part is they didn't have to sweat their guts out the day of the wedding!
when the day of the wedding rolled around, they were able to step out do family photos and have some quite time in between and get right on to the reception!

isabel & simon, a los poblanos wedding
"brought together by ham and cheese pizza, held together by the security of true love"
what happens when a brazilian born new yorker meets a french born graphic designer online while living in new york and they marry at a destination wedding in new mexico at the historic los poblanos inn & farm? lovelyness & pure joy!!! the elegantly laidback nuptials of isabel & simon warmed the heart of all who attended. family and friends from new york and brazil and everywhere in between joined in their festivities. they wanted a warm & cozy wedding celebration surrounded by their family & closest friends.
simon loves to cook so the food was a top priority, and los poblanos never disappoints with their field to fork menus.
isabel's gentle manner and smile invited us immediately into her life. you know when you meet a girl for the first time and she's wearing a three wolf moon t-shirt, she's going to be awesome!
everything was perfect, from isabel's gorgeous blush ramona kazeva gown to the garden gazebo ceremony on a beautiful non windy new mexico spring day. simon's fathers thoughtful ceremony, to the toasts from family and bridal party that brought tears and so much laughter to the evening.
you always learn so much about others when you listen to their friends describe them. we learned from his best man that simon is an artist of many different mediums and when he learns a new art, he jumps all in. 'simon knows no other way to love than to immerse himself in it.' that is how he loves isabel, totally immersed in and with her! that was evident from the first time we laid eyes on them.
each and every time i conversed with isabel she left me better than i was before. she made sure to tell us how much she loved and appreciated our artwork. that they understood the value in the medium that we choose and loved how we represented our couples. she appreciated our vision and was thrilled to 'leave her memories in our hands.' it's not every day that a couple understands perfectly what we do and wants that for themselves.
isabel & simon, your graciousness and kindness was above all we've encountered! thank you for letting us in to your world!

meredith & jimmy; a los poblanos wedding
this classic 4th of july wedding at the marvelous los poblanos was so delightful to photograph. you would never know that meredith & jimmy don't particularly care for being in front of the camera, they simply relaxed and enjoyed the day. everything was so smooth, no glitches, just perfect. i owe it all to ashley garcia who planned everything and the catering staff at los poblanos, who once again carried things off without a hitch. even the storm clouds that were rolling in and rumbling rather loudly came by to provide shade and nothing more! we even had the perfect view of fireworks over the treetops. and what's a 4th of july wedding without sparkers to run away with?
meredith & jimmy, we are ever so grateful for your friendship. thank you for planning a gorgeous event and trusting us to capture your memories
warmly,
desiree & seth

rebecca & mike; get connected
when we asked rebecca & mike to tell us what made the two of them fall for each other, i have to admit we were a bit surprised to hear the reason was because "they were both so frugal!" after listening to their reasoning, i got it, they aren't about how much money can be spent on something but they actually have old fashioned values of saving for a rainy day and only spending money on the things that matter most. i love that about them too!
these two are self professed 'awkward in front of the camera' people! lucky for us, they trusted us and were willing to be vulnerable and silly in front of us and the result is two beautiful people who look perfectly at ease and look like themselves! enjoy!
we love connection sessions! if you are interested in having a session created for you, we love to capture the connection that is individual to each relationship, whether newly dating, newly engaged or married forever, it's time to reconnect with each other and with us!
