Chrsity & James - Koinonia Gardens, Albuquerque

I LOVE this wedding. Sometimes the most simple days turn out to be the most beautiful. Christy and James chose Koinonia Gardens in Albuquerque for their venue, and it was the absolute perfect setting for their rustic wedding day. The details were unique and personal (using a globe as their guest book was so awesome!!) and created such a romantic atmosphere. Even more so, the love shared between them and poured over them by their families was so beautiful. It was such a sweet day, and I'm so happy I got to be part of it!

2nd Shooter: Michelle McClenin

Cyle & Alicia

Alicia and Cyle are getting married.. this weekend!!  Congratulations you two!  The day of their engagement session arrived and the clouds rolled in.  We really only had this one chance to do the shoot before their wedding, so we decided to go with it.  Seiji and I went out and found some umbrellas and started to plan to shoot in the rain.  Of course, we didn't end up needing them at all!  As we began our shoot, the sun emerged and we had beautiful light for the majority of our time! 

My favorite part about capturing couples is watching the chemistry between them, and just letting it unfold in the shoot.  When you put two people who are completely in love together, the moments just start happening on their own.  The love between Cyle and Alicia was so fun to watch and capture.  Their story is so sweet, and we wish them all the best!
