What do you do when you have less than 24 hours in Albuquerque, New Mexico? You photograph a styled desert bridal shoot with some incredible local talent is what!

New Mexico holds so much raw, natural beauty that just isn’t accessible in the same way when you’re living in a big city. Having grown up in the Southwest, I wanted bring the colors, plants, and vistas that are a part of this more rustic land to life in a new way. The browns of the sandstone, the pale greens of the prickly pear cactus, the pale blue of the sky… They all lend themselves to this landscape, and with the collaborative efforts of an amazing team, this stunning desert bridal shoot came into being.
