A beautiful backyard wedding filled with Love!
Such a beautiful day in Las Cruces NM for a wedding!
Backyard weddings have been events I have grown to really love. They are intimate and completely family oriented and the bride and groom always seem genuinely relaxed.
A natural light backyard wedding can bring its lighting challenges, so its important to scout locations and meet with your clients at the venue/house, at the time the wedding is to occur, to help your clients understand the lighting patterns and what they will see in your images due to the bright sun and heavy shadow. I am a firm believer in preparing for each wedding or event that I photograph.
There are many challenges during any event and coming equipped with reliable gear and prepared with knowledge through education will help you trouble shoot any situation.
I first met David and Verna at the Las Cruces Bridal Fair in January.
I knew David had knowledge of photography by the kind of questions he asked me initially. Fortunately for me, it only took them a few minutes to decide that I would have the honor of photographing their wedding!
As I got to know them a bit more, I realized during that conversation that I kept saying, "Wow, really?" Their Love story isn't one you hear very often. They both have gone though life and through love and even some tough times, to ultimately find each other and find Love again!
The day of the wedding, Verna was beautiful! She had told me, in one of our meetings, that she was so excited about her dress and she looked so amazing in it! The dress flattered her perfectly!
David was cool calm and relaxed as expected. He was smiling form ear to ear when he saw his bride for the first time.
My goal was to give them images that represented their love. To show the funny side as well as the intimate side of their lives together.
David and Verna have given themselves another shot at Love and we wish them all the best in there marriage!
