Jacobo & Stepha: Married!

I met Stepha through Elissa, a mutual friend who was in charge of finding Stepha a wedding photographer. I’m so blessed that she found me! It has been so fun to get to know Stepha and Jacobo, and their wedding was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to, as well as the first outdoor wedding I’ve been to! The ceremony took place in the Jemez mountains of New Mexico, in Stepha’s back yard. Wow, it was gorgeous! Jacobo & Stepha, thank you again for having me be a part of your big day; everything about your wedding was perfectly beautiful!

I LOVE Stepha’s dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses! It was so fun to take them outside and capture some creative shots with them!

These are my favorites from the day – I don’t know what Jacobo said, but he sure got Stepha laughing! These were tunnels about 10 minutes away from Stepha’s home, and they were so beautiful. We only had a very short 15 minutes to do portraits, so it was short and sweet! It was like a mini-Grand Canyon out there, which I had no idea existed in New Mexico!

There were little pieces of fuzz falling from the trees, which created the most beautiful atmosphere! It looked like it was snowing!

Allison- I am Elissa’s mother…and Stepha is one of my “second daughters”…I was not able to return to the US to attend the wedding, but your photos really touched my heart and gave me the feeling as if I was there. You captured the story of the day, and the feeling of the celebration of Stepha and Jacob’s wedding. The photos are amazing. Thank you
