Wedding Photography in Albuquerque and Santa Fe

Let me tell your wedding day story

A black and white photo of a wedding ceremony outdoors in front of a barn, with a bride and groom walking hand in hand, surrounded by guests and wedding party members.

Every wedding I photograph is a new opportunity to create, to meet people, to belong to something special. I am always in awe of the unique elements, I am honored to experience people’s traditions and to be so close to something so personal. Because of this, a wedding photographer has no room for error and not a second to waste.

Since 2006, Natural Touch Photography has documented more than 2,000 weddings throughout Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and New Mexico, focusing on authentic moments and emotional presence rather than trends.

Important Questions To Ask Any Photographer

Are you formally trained?

Why is this important? Because most photographers aren’t. Most of them have not even bothered to watch a YouTube video. Can you do it without training? Well, yes BUT - the results will never be the results you deserve to preserve the most important moments of your life.

How many weddings have you photographed alone?

Experience matters, and while quantity doesn’t outweigh quality, quantity teaches you things - and all of a sudden, all of those teachings become very valuable. Browse my web site - the images there are the result of experience

What is the core of your approach?

I never stand in one place for more than 15 seconds. Time is made of moments that happen in seconds, and as a photographer, you can only see those moments by studying different angles and perspectives. A wedding photographer needs to BE IN THE MOMENT - talk to people, belong.

Are you a full time photographer?

I’ll just say this:

PART TIME EFFORT - PART TIME RESULT.

Why is photography "so expensive"?

PHOTOGRAPHY IS ART - and art is subjective. Most clients ask the wrong question": “How many hours does that include?” - If the answer is “17 hours”, does that get you better photos? If the answer is: “That gives you 7000 photos” Does that give you better photos?

But if your question is: “Will I love my photos?” then the quantity or time cease so be important.

Picasso didn’t charge by the hour.

What is the most important thing I should ask a photographer?

Will I love my pictures?

FAQs That May Seem Silly Right Now…

Is it weird I don’t want kids at my wedding?

1

It actually is. Kids are the life of a wedding - but don’t even get me started!

When should I be done with planning?

2

If you want to be stress free, picture ready and not a total mess on your wedding day - you should be DONE planning, four to six months from your date.

Can “Photoshop” Fix My Photographer’s Mistakes?

3

It has that ability - but, no photographer should ever rely on “I can fix that later”. If your photographer even brings up Photoshop, he is not a photographer, he is a Photoshop guy that is just as bad at photography as I am at Photoshop.

Should I hire a part time photographer? My friend that takes pictures all of the time? A college student that is really cheap?

4

Short answer: No - never. Experience is everything in photography, occasional fun photos can’t happen 500 times during your wedding or your grandma’s 100th birthday celebration.
