Rio Grande Bosque, Rio Rancho, NM

I first met Rachel two years ago, when I photographed the cover story for the Albuquerque Catholic Magazine, featuring the Project Defending Life organization in downtown ABQ. I saw her again in the fall, while photographing for the PDL Gala at the Sandia Casino hotel! I admire her so much for the hard work and love that she puts into her work every single day, and it was an absolute honor to be asked to photograph her wedding later this year!!!
Rachel and Zac met at a Theology on Tap event, and started dating shortly thereafter! They became engaged in February of this year and are planning an August wedding at the Shrine of Saint Bernadette in Albuquerque.
Zac and Rachel are such a beautiful couple, and you can definitely tell they share a deep love from the way that they look at one another and interact – it’s beautiful! I especially loved getting to know them and they was incredible easy to talk to and make conversation. Together, they enjoy hiking and running outside, and earlier in the day they had hiked to THE TOP of the Sandia mountain!! Other than spending time together outside, their faith is central to their relationship, and I’m so excited to capture their Sacramental marriage later this year!!
I hope you enjoy just a couple of my many favorite images from their session below!!
