JT Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves El Rito, NM

Hi, we're Jonathan & Abbie, a couple deeply rooted in New Mexico, where we both grew up and fell in love. Married for 12 wonderful years, we've been blessed with three incredible children who fill our lives with joy and adventure. Despite being raised in New Mexico, our hearts belong at the ocean, and we seize every opportunity to escape to the coast and immerse ourselves in the beauty and tranquility of the sea.

“It took my husband and I a few weeks to write this review as we wanted to make sure we found the right words to describe our experience with JT Photography. When we were looking for our photographer we met with a few and they were all nice and I’m sure would have done a great job, but as soon as we met Jonathan and Abbie we knew they were perfect for us. We hung up the phone call and looked at each other and said “that’s our photographer”. Communicating with them was easy the entire time and really just felt like we were talking to some friends. The photos we received are absolutely stunning. Jonathan captured every second of the day and did such a beautiful job. He was so fun and easy to work with. He made sure the day ran smoothly and that taking all our pictures was fun and easy. If you’re looking for a photographer that will blend in with your guests and take the dreamiest photos you could ever imagine, look no further. I’m so grateful we could trust Jonathan to capture our memories and we couldn’t be happier with the results!”

Albuquerque Wedding Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves El Rito, NM

I photograph weddings in Albuquerque and Santa Fe with a calm, documentary approach focused on real interactions, honest emotion, and the natural flow of the day. Timeless, joyful photographs are the foundation of my work, but just as important is how the experience feels. By taking time to understand what matters to you, I work in a way that feels comfortable and unforced—so you can stay present and walk away with photographs that feel true now and meaningful years from now.

“Albuquerque Wedding Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. Guillermo and his team had a relaxed yet thorough and clear communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work is truly magazine-worthy - modern and not at all posed. Guillermo was incredibly congenial with all of our 200 guests, and everyone commented on his professionalism and ability to manage our large, somewhat chaotic wedding party with ease. To top it off, he delivered our fully edited photos in just 4 days - an unbelievable turnaround time. We couldn't be happier with the memories Albuquerque Wedding Photography captured of our special day.”

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

“We met Kristin at a June 2025 wedding where we provided the flowers, and we were blown away by her work. Her photos are stunning - full of emotion, joy, and all the little in-between moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. She has such a gift for capturing the real feel of the day. As someone who works with a lot of wedding vendors, I can honestly say Kristin is a true gem. If you want memories that feel timeless and beautiful, she’s the one. Wholeheartedly recommend - 10/10!”

He captured some amazing and beautiful moments from our ceremony and many fun moments from our reception as well a little details that we did not have time to appreciate because we were so busy being the “bride and groom” in the moment!

That means I capture your day in a way that feels like a movie you can watch every time you look back at your photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Natalie was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day more special than we had ever imagined. We really prioritized finding vendors who had experience working with queer couples, people of color, and disabled people - whose portfolios aligned with our values and our wedding party beyond simply stating “all are welcome” on their websites - and Natalie delivered. I have never been comfortable or felt like *myself* in front of the camera because of my flat affect and rigidity (I’m neurodivergent), so I was particularly anxious about having “good” photos from our wedding day. But Natalie’s warm demeanor immediately put my mind at ease, and I was blown away by how our engagement photoshoot went. Having (obviously) never planned a wedding before, my wife and I were a bit overwhelmed by all the decisions and coordination that go into making 100-person party go off without a hitch, but Natalie helped us put together a custom timeline that somehow fit in plenty of photos with our large, loud, blended families, and even an extra photoshoot for my parents! She communicated with all our vendors in advance and kept the entire day running on time. She helped button our dresses and clasp our jewelry, helped us stay present and enjoy each moment while offering direction when warranted. And the photos… Wow. The level of detail and composition of each photo is remarkable and immediately transports us back to our wedding day. We look (and felt!) like we were living in a fairytale. Natalie captured our personalities and relationship so well, from the intimacy of our first look and “golden hour” to lots of laughter with our closest friends. It’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to - of course! - and we couldn’t have done it without Natalie.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you are looking for a photographer who can do the impossible, we couldn't more recommend The Wild Eyed. Booking with Chris and Jessie was the best decision we made for our wedding. Beyond professional and experts at their craft, Chris and Jessie were fun and calming, which was exactly what my husband and I needed as two very unphotogenic and awkward people. We felt natural and at ease throughout the entire day. As a matter of fact, for much of the night we didn't notice their presence at all, though from our photos you'd think otherwise. The photos we received were better than we ever could have hoped for. They captured every single emotion - from sentimental moments to the hilarious, uncoordinated energy of the dance floor. We were adamant about having a true candid or documentary style and feel to our photos; we wanted them to showcase even small moments no matter how fleeting, which was precisely what Chris and Jessie captured - so many details and exchanges that I didn't know were noticed. The quality of the editing and composition is staggering. We feel we have the highest-end, editorial-level art for a very reasonable cost. Our gallery includes shots that make our wedding look and feel like the event of the year; as if they could be published in a magazine! Chris and Jessie didn’t just take pictures; they told the story of our day in a way that made us look like the best versions of ourselves. If you are prioritizing photography for your wedding, hire The Wild Eyed - they will give you the greatest gift of truly gorgeous photos!”

“Evan exceeded all expectations for our wedding photographer. He was communicative leading up to the wedding, asked for a pinterest board to get a feel for our aesthetic, and scheduled a walk-through of the venue where he shared his insight on best photo locations and times. He helped us schedule the ceremony to have the best lighting for the time of year, months in advance! This guy's a professional. Day-of he was like a ninja--we barely ever saw him, but in most of the guests' photos there he was in the background with his camera. And once the photos were delivered we knew he was everywhere, capturing us and our families and guests in the perfect moments. Thanks to Evan we have absolutely gorgeous photographs that preserved the magic of our wedding day. Cannot recommend him enough! Book him now!”

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

“Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!”

Hey y’all! We’re Meg & Kevin! We are seekers of wonder – dreamers of moments that cause your heart to race. Moments bursting with adventure that make you feel fully alive and reminded of just how magical this human existence is. This is why we are elopement photographers! We help you plan the wedding day of your dreams! Where your memories come first and you get to have a blast marrying your best friend!

“June 8th had finally arrived and we were BEYOND excited to get our elopement underway. We had spoke with Meg and Kevin several times over the phone to talk over all the details of the big day— all the conversations helped build our anticipation of the big day. They were SO invested in ensuring we had the best, most memorable, elopement day possible. We received our sneak peak while we were on mini-moon in Destin and we were overwhelmed with excitement at how good they were. We even joked that if all we had were the 60 or so pictures in the sneak peak we would be content. However, upon the arrival of our full gallery, we were obsessed with them! We were so emotional as we felt we were reliving our big day. Meg and Kev’s ability to capture the raw beauty of nature and our raw emotions are second to none! There are so many wonderful pictures, we are going to struggle picking our favorites to print for an album. They are so so SO beautiful and amazing! Meg and Kevin made the elopement super fun to where the pictures did not feel forced or posed. Almost as if we were on a hike with our besties and getting married at the same time. They went above and beyond to accommodate us—from prior prep with location choices, activity suggestions.. to day of things such as having a wagon for things we could not fit in our hiking packs. They were awesome! One hard thing in regard to planning, was being out of state and not being able to see the locations before picking them. Not to worry though, once we settled on a site, Meg and Kev hiked it ahead of time to get current pics of the location along with timing the day out with the required additional hiking. They built trust and confidence with us to ensure that everything would go smoothly. Lastly, since it was just the two of us, we wanted an officiant to make it feel a little more official. Kevin CRUSHED it as an officiant. He took bits and pieces from our phone convos to the surveys we filled out to make it personable. It was SO well done. We still chose to exchange personally written vows, in a different location apart from the ceremony (to fit our hermit personalities) while Meg and Kev captured the moment from afar. Overall— we could not be happier!!”

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.
