HEY! My name is Jade! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and He gave me this passion for photography. I’ve grown up and lived in New Mexico my whole life. I am stoked to be surrounded by the desert, the Rio Grande river, and various mountain ranges. I literally get to drive through and roam around these beautiful God-given landscapes to inspire the work I create. I believe that it is important that YOU choose to work with me because of who I am. What makes me different from the handful of other photographers you are considering? I care. From the moment you contact me, I am praying for you. What I love about being a photographer is

“Long story short- Jade cares about YOU and this will be completely evident in her work. You won’t regret hiring her to capture one of the sweetest moments of your life. Your photos will last as long as your marriage-forever! Hire a professional to ensure every sweet moment is remembered for years to come. HIRE JADE. Because Jade cares about each of her couples you will see her professionalism, support, and amazing work on the day of your wedding. She was key to keeping our wedding on schedule, capturing our sweet candid moments, handling a huge crowd and crazy schedule (that never goes as planned), AND getting us our flawless prints very quickly after. This is someone who works hard and is in the business to use her skills for others. I truly felt she went above what we asked because she knows how precious these wedding photos are. We initially chose Jade because we loved her work. Her photos aren’t over edited and she has a range of creative shots. She provides photos of everything, from sweet bride and groom shots that capture the couples personalities to the shots of the little details that make your day special. I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was FANTASTIC (and her husband too!! Yes- hire both! the dream team)”

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

“Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!”

I’m Caitlin Elizabeth (she/her), and as a current bride-to-be myself, I know planning a wedding is no small thing. After the months, or even years of work, you deserve to have stunning wedding photos to remember it all! I make every part of your Santa Fe wedding photography as easy as possible.

“It is our absolute pleasure to write a (glowing!) review for Caitlin Elizabeth Photography and for Caitlin herself! We were married last October on a fairytale day in Santa Fe (NM), and we are so pleased to know that we will be able to remember and share that perfect day because of the pictures Caitlin and her team captured for us. From start to finish on the wedding day, Caitlin had a wonderful eye and the ability to capture both big and small moments, integrated into beautiful backdrops with a bright and cheery style. We hardly knew she was there as she unobtrusively recorded pre-wedding preparations, early looks before the ceremony, the ceremony itself, a host of beautiful family portraits, and all the post-ceremony fun. She even captured a priceless picture of the bride in mid-flip during our first dance! Throughout, she was patient, accommodating, and provided really excellent direction to keep distracted and emotional people looking their best. She was good with kids, adults, seniors, and even folks with special needs/requests. We loved it. Working with Caitlin before the wedding was also really seamless for us. We happened to have a very good wedding planner, who worked very well with Caitlin to make sure everything timed out just the way we wanted. That said, it was clear that Caitin’s highly organized approach to wedding photography and experience could be used as a template for folks working through the wedding planning on their own. We have learned that finding someone like Caitlin with positive energy and a clear passion for weddings really helped us feel special, reminded us to have fun through this process, and made the wedding so much more special. It was apparent that Caitlin was as excited about our event as we were…she was so eager to share some of her favorite pictures that we had a few key shots waiting in our inbox the next day! The value that Caitlin provided for her services was really exceptional, in our opinion. Not only did she cover the wedding itself wonderfully, but the pre-wedding photoshoot was tailored to us beautifully and captured some really touching moments that we continue to enjoy and share with friends and family. We love the fact that we have had ready access to all of our extremely high resolution, high quality, professionally “processed” photos, and the inclusion of a printed “highlight” album has left us with a wonderful trove of memories. In fact, we have struggled with how to select “just” 75-90 favorites (solely for the highlight album) as there are so many good ones to choose from out of all she provided to us. We can’t recommend Caitlin highly enough, and we couldn’t have wanted anything more from her. We would hire her again in an instant.”

I love capturing people at their happiest times. I'm not about forced awkward posing, I want the real kind of love, the kind of love where you are so in the moment I'm capturing the in-between when you think no one is watching. I want the steamy, intimate, kiss you on the neck, pull her hair back, smack her butt, kind of love. Capturing real moments with real people, That's photography to me.

“We booked Lindsay for our wedding in my husband’s hometown, and it was by far the best decision and investment we made. From the moment I saw her page, I knew I had to book her because of the beautiful candid style and artistry of her photography. As a stressed bride being my own planner, I was so grateful for Lindsay’s guidance and resources during the planning process. I had full confidence that our wedding day would be captured just how it was, perfect. And Lindsay delivered. All of our guests commented on how professional and organized she was during the whole event, and how she made everything feel seamless. If there is one thing every bride/groom must do, it is to book Lindsay for their wedding (or any other event for that matter).”

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

“Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.”

Hi hi! My name is Nevaeh and I'm so honored that you have taken the time to look at my work! I am based out of both Joshua Tree, CA, and Albuquerque, NM. I am originally from New Mexico, but I moved to SoCal when I married my dreamy Marine. I have a cutesy pup names Rocky who is energetic and cuddly. I love watching Gilmore Girls and trips to the beach. I love Jesus and worship music is my jam (along with Disney music, Olivia Rodrigo, One Direction, and Shawn Mendes).

“Nevaeh did my engagement pictures and oh my gosh they came out amazing! She was so much fun and made us feel so comfortable! She’s so talented and amazing to work with!”
