The other week, I announced that I was looking for volunteer couples who would pose for a shoot in their wedding attire. I got an immediate “ooo, pick me, pick me!” from Leigh Ann! I worked with Clint and Leigh Ann last year in with the Navigators in Albuquerque. It was perfect timing, as I flew to Albuquerque to make a quick visit the other week. The morning of our scheduled shoot, it was raining. It NEVER rains in Albuquerque. I was bummed. We called it off and we were going to have breakfast at a coffee shop instead….until Leigh Ann called to say it had stopped raining, and she was still up for it, even though it was gloomy out. Gloomy = no problem for a photographer! I was THRILLED that the rain stopped long enough for us to do the shoot!
One of my favorite spots in Albuquerque is the Casa Rodena winery. Here’s a photo I took there last spring:
SO beautiful!! What I didn’t think through was that this photo was taken in May, and this was March. For some reason, I pictured the vines to be this green in March…not the case! I actually love how the photos turned out with the brown vines! This is the most beautiful winery I’ve seen; I love the European-inspired architecture, and it would make for a stunning wedding location! So, if anyone in IA is looking to plan a destination wedding, check out the Casa Rodena Winery!!
My wonderful friend Kim came along to help, and as we were waiting for Clint and Leigh Ann, I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots of her. She is so gorgeous, and I love how these shots capture her sweet spirit. And check out her super cute yellow shoes!
Clint and Leigh Ann were so fun to photograph! I have to give Clint so many “thank you’s”, because this was not his cup o’ tea! But he did a great job! =) Check out some highlights of Clint and Leigh Ann’s ministry with the navigators on their blog

Leigh Ann looked so stunning in her dress! I love the detail of the back:
The one below on the right is my favorite from the whole shoot. There was a two-minute window when the sun poked out, and it created delicious light!
So sweet!
I told them to do something silly, and this is what happened! You guys are so fun!
Another favorite. I love how natural and sweet their expressions are.
Leigh Ann is a dancer, and she has incredible poise! This is the best dip I’ve seen a couple do yet! Her toe is pointed and all!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Clint for getting this shot of the 3 of us afterward. I love these women! It was a delight to spend the weekend with you, Kim and Leigh Ann!
