Wintertime Elopement in the Mountains of Questa

Wintertime Elopement in the Mountains of Questa

Linsey and Nathan had a destination elopement in February in Questa, NM. When Linsey booked this elopement package she knew she was taking risks with an outdoor winter wedding in the mountains. We ordered good weather. Linsey and Nathan’s wedding week was stormy but their wedding day was a perfect. It was 50 degrees, calm, and dry. The wedding ceremony was officianted by religious and included special bible verses that Sajit delivered. The mountains, pinon trees, and patches of snow were beautiful under the cloudy New Mexico sky. Linsey word a gorgeous two piece Bohemian style wedding dress with long lace sleeves. Linsey’s stunning wedding bouquet included fresh pink, peach, and white roses with dried willow, protea, and pampas grass.

Winter Photoshoot of Couple Celebrating an Anniversary!

Winter Photoshoot of Couple Celebrating an Anniversary!

These portraits are of my mom and dad!! It was less than seven degrees out, which is the coldest weather I’ve ever shot my camera in. My camera (Canon, of course) worked perfectly and I was wearing a parka so I was fine, it was my parents who really had to suffer (thank goodness I work fast and we took less than ten photos)! The snowfall the day before provided us with beautiful backgrounds and high contrast as the wood on the house and the dark evergreens were covered with snow.

These precious ladies gave us some toothless grins despite the 28 degree weather! We edited these photos down to 106 fantastic photos–we took them in only 40 minutes (including breaks in the warm car)! The photographers here click VERY QUICKLY during these outdoor photo sessions in the wintertime!
This was a shoot we couldn’t miss as it’s the 2nd baby milestone, sitting up! The next milestone is nine months old, when the babies are standing up during holding onto something. Happy 1/2 Birthday to these princesses!!

Same-sex Marriage in the High Dessert

Same-sex Marriage in the High Dessert

These gentlemen were encouraged to come to Taos for their destination elopement! Neither of these grooms had ever been to Taos and (thank God) they fell in love with it immediately!
The wedding was at a private home. After being together for over a decade this couple was still very nervous prior to the no-guest ceremony. The outdoor wedding ceremony was about fifteen minutes long and a few good-luck snow flakes even came down. Congratulations on this couple and many more decades of love!

Same-Sex Marriage Elopement from Albuquerque

These ladies came to Taos from Albuquerque to elope! Julie and Theresa’s friends and family were clueless to their “real” plans of their weekend rendezvous, aka Their Taos Wedding!! The weather was absolutely perfect for this February 4th outdoor wedding ceremony. The same-sex marriage was officiated by Reverend Dan Jones of Taos’ Embracing Ceremony. Erika and Mark of Hacienda del Sol were the witnesses for this tiny wedding. The brides celebrated with stories, laughs, cake, and champagne after a twenty minute ceremony and some wedding photos. Congrats to this beautiful couple!!
