Elena got married six months ago at a fabulous destination wedding down in Peru. The only drawback was, no great photos of just her celebrating her day in her wedding dress.

Today was an amazing, near 70 degree day, so we went on location at the Bosque in Albuquerque (about 1/2 mile walk in, off of Coors & Montaño) and up at Boca Negra Canyon, at the Petroglyph National Monument also here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If you’re wondering why the Sandia Mountains aren’t in the background of any of these photos, it’s because it’s been done. Overdone quite frankly and she was quite happy with photographs of just her, and the stark scenery around her.

Two in a row – how does a photographer get this lucky?

This was my first time participating in a “themed” wedding. Leann & Dan celebrated with a Venetian Masquerade Ball.
