The Montoya Family | A Fairy Tale Day at the Lake

When Valerie contacted me and said she wanted to do a family photo shoot I knew we had to do something extra special. We aimed for a whimsical fairytale theme and her sweet daughters fit the bill perfectly.  Donning adorable floral crowns they skipped and danced around the lake, holding hands and discovering flowers and frogs along the path. It was a beautiful summer day, which was a nice break from all the recent wind and rain, making it a perfect day for a shoot at the lake :)

Nicole + Phillip | Wedding at Sandia Resort and Casino

Nicole and Philip are two of the most kind and fun people you will meet and their wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Due to the crazy weather the wedding was moved to the new Sandia Event center making it the first wedding to be held there. The storm clouds made for the most beautiful of backdrops turning the mountains into deep shades of blue. The couple stood under beautiful handmade doors as they said their I dos and guest threw lavender in lieu of rice or bubbles as they walked back down the aisle as the new Mr. and Mrs. Everyone partied hard at the reception and danced all night and gave the couple a lovely sparkler exit.

Thank you Nicole + Philip for having me document your beautiful love story!
