Hi friends!

I’m here today with a super fun blog post: The best of 2019! Now, it’s not the first of January. It’s not even the first week. I’ve been taking my time gathering these photos and reminiscing about each day, each couple, each love story. As I’ve gathered I’ve thought multiple times about what to write… how to make it different than last years post and the one before that. It feels cheesy to say it over and over again — how grateful I am. But here’s the thing…

ITS TRUE! I’m SO dang grateful! We have the honor of capturing so many incredible moments and memories. Couples and their families invite Dominic and I into their worlds. They hug us, they feed us, they confide in us, they happy dance with us, they laugh with us, they keep in touch with us, they support us… AND IT’S NOT EVEN ABOUT US! They trust us with special, intimate, irreplaceable days that we get to photograph, witness, and hold in our hearts forever! And it is seriously THE BEST!

This year has held so many awesome days - here in our back yard of Albuquerque, and all the way in Belize - and goodness it’s just so fun to look back on all the pretty! We’ve worked with crazy-talented friendors (friend vendors), and grown closer together as a couple listening to each ceremony, driving to and from each wedding, and reading each others minds throughout it all, ha!

We’ve cheered and celebrated with couples in their first few minutes of being married, and we’ve shed tears during moments that shook us. We’ve eaten delicious food, and soaked in gorgeous sunsets. We’ve ridden golf carts, played with puppies, and jammed to our favorites songs. We’ve made new friends and visited new places. And more times than I could ever count, we’ve caught each others eye from across a wedding and shared a little grin that we both know means, “This is the best!”

It’s been quite a year. A year that is not taken for granted, full of moments that have shaped us — and that is all thanks to our wonderful couples. We’re so grateful for the honor and the pleasure to be a part of such special days. Our lives and hearts are so impacted, and we are forever thankful!

Also, I’m very thankful that this year also held a very fun memory … spoiler alert … sommmmmebody ripped their pants. Don’t miss it while you scroll through our “Best of 2019”.

Hugs and so much thanks!

Hey friends! If you’re new around here - I’m Kayla. My husband, Dominic, and I are wedding photographers and absolutely love it. We also love to share the things in our lives that we enjoy and the things that keeps life simple so that we can spend time doing what we love most; exploring + making memories together.

We’ve built our business right here in Albuquerque, NM while building our family - but the state lines don’t hold us in. We love traveling to new places to photograph weddings, partner with Airbnb’s / Resorts, find new places to eat tacos (duh!), and a whole bunch of other fun stuff. If you’d like to chat about any of the above, holler! We’d love that! Until then, sending hugs!
