Wallis-McMillan Wedding
Posted on July 27, 2008
What a gorgeous wedding! We’ve been looking forward to Jayme and Jared’s wedding since we took their engagement photos. The big day finally arrived, and even though it rained like crazy, the day went off beautifully.
Our first stop was Sha-Bangs, Jayme’s salon. Lisa, her stylist, specializes in air-brushed makeup, and it was really neat to see that applied. Lisa did a great job on Jayme’s hair as well. Her mom and most of her bridesmaids also had their hair done there, which always makes for a fun morning.
As soon as Jayme’s hair and makeup were done, we headed over to Hotel Encanto for some stunning bridal portraits. I had obtained special permission from the hotel to shoot inside Azul, which is a gorgeous bar, accented in you guessed it…. blue. We are so pleased with the photographs we got there! There are quite a few more photos from the Encanto, which will no doubt be in our weddings gallery soon.
The ceremony started at 6:00pm, at University Presbyterian, where we seem to be accumulating “frequent wedding miles”. The ceremony was very traditional, and very emotional. It was a full house, and a very beautiful ceremony.
The bride and groom left for the reception in a great old car (a ’37 Chevy), which you can see in the photos. Even though the rain was really starting to come down, we got some nice shots! We were a little worried about the car going through the arroyo at Farm and Ranch, but they made it no problem. The reception had been moved indoors at the last moment, but it looked fabulous!
We wish Jayme and Jared a wonderful life together!

The Leiberman Family
Posted on July 11, 2008
Last night we had the pleasure of photographing the Leiberman family, here in Las Cruces! They have a beautiful place out near the mountains, and we decided that the area around their home would be a great place to take some shots of them and the kids.
We had a great time just playing around and shooting photos out in the desert, and then decided to head downtown to the newly finished Downtown Mall. I’m still working on how to incorporate the Rio Grande Theater’s sign into some shots, so we tried a few. I’ll post them if they turn out, they’re still in the “to be edited” pile.
Here’s a few shots from last night, since I’m sure Rachelle is anxious to see them!
Aren’t those some adorable kids? We sure had a lot of fun!

Sisters
Posted on June 21, 2008
As usual, I have been dragging the children in front of the camera again. My dad was recently in town, and I wanted to take a couple of shots of the girls for him as a happy memory. It finally started to cool down here tonight, so we went for a walk to our favorite wooden fence, and took some pictures. Here’re a few!
And rainy season finally started this evening! Thank goodness!

The Thome Family
Posted on June 2, 2008
On Sunday we had the pleasure of photographing the Thome family, here in Las Cruces. They’ve traditionally given their dad a family portrait for Fathers Day, and this year they came to us to have it done. We’re so happy they did!
I know they’re anxious to see how their shots turned out, so I’m posting a few here for them, and everyone else to see.
It was a ton of fun, both in the studio, and around town. We hope their dad loves his present!

LaRae and Robert
Posted on May 23, 2008
We recently had the privilege to photograph the Estrada-Navarette wedding, and what an affair it was! We started out at the Fixx salon with LaRae, where she and her bridesmaids and family were having their hair done. The salon was so stylish! Red walls and zebra print everywhere! We had a great time, and the stylists did an amazing job on everyone!
While I was at the salon photographing the ladies getting ready, Jason headed over to the grooms house, and had a blast! Robert has a full bar in his garage, and a really awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycle that he considers his “baby”. There are some really fabulous photos of Robert on the bike, and of all the guys at the bar, neon lights blazing!
Here’s a sneak peak at some of their pictures from the day!
I couldn’t believe how many people there were at this wedding! There were at least 500 people at the church, and at least 800 at the reception, which was at Dickersons Barn. I have to tell you, I’ve been to that barn when it wasn’t decorated for a wedding, and the Estrada family did an absolutely fantastic job on the place! It was completely transformed! In fact, it was so amazing, that the Las Cruces Sun News showed up to photograph it for an article they were doing on weddings! There wasn’t a single detail missed!
There were mariachis, and all sorts of traditional hispanic dances done, and each one was a unique photo opportunity! The cake was beautiful, and LaRae and Robert looked so happy! We wish both of them the best!
