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!

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!
