Awarded Best of Zola
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 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.

From the moment we connected with Guillermo from Albuquerque Wedding Photography, we knew we were in good hands. His calm, efficient, and thoughtful communication style put us at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Guillermo's professionalism and unique approach resulted in photographs that were truly one-of-a-kind. He kept things light and easy, thinking of every detail to ensure a smooth and seamless experience. Even when gathering us for portraits, Guillermo took advantage of the stunning natural light and sky to capture breathtaking images that exceeded our wildest expectations. We are beyond grateful for Guillermo's artistry and highly recommend Albuquerque Wedding Photography to any couple looking for an out-of-the-box, top-notch photography experience.

  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

I photograph and film weddings across New Mexico, from the adobe chapels of Santa Fe to the sprawling desert landscapes of Albuquerque. My approach is documentary and cinematic. I focus on real moments, honest emotions, and the kind of light that makes a frame feel timeless. Every couple gets both photo and video coverage, so nothing from your day is lost.

We cannot recommend Casey enough!! He was our photographer for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. Casey has the perfect balance of being professional while still keeping things fun and light. His photos are beautiful and he has an extremely fast turn around time (we received our engagement photos that same night and wedding photos two days after the wedding). He also is very responsive and would answer our texts within the same day. Everyone we talked to after the wedding raved about how fun and fantastic Casey was. He truly captured the joy of the evening. Thank you so much, Casey!! - Kendall and Liam

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.

I had the pleasure of working with StewartBarnes Photo Co. at one of the most fun weddings I've ever been part of at Syndicated in Brooklyn a few months ago, and I still find myself coming back to those photos—they're some of my favorite wedding images I've seen, and as a wedding industry professional, I see a lot of them! I first came across the couple's engagement photos and immediately thought, "Wow." The images were vibrant, natural, and truly captured their personalities. When I finally met the StewartBarnes team on the wedding day, I was equally impressed by their professionalism, creativity, and ability to capture incredible moments without ever being intrusive. As a DJ, I especially appreciate photographers who can document vendors in action naturally. More often than not, photographers either don't take any photos of me or interrupt my workflow by asking me to pose. StewartBarnes managed to capture some fantastic shots of me working without disrupting the moment, which I really appreciated. They were a joy to work with, and their talent speaks for itself. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again soon!

It's been so hard to find the words to capture how much we loved working with Felisha - she is THAT good! Her work is incredible and our wedding photos are ones that we will cherish forever. She captured every moment big and small - and we notice new details or expressions on our guests' faces each time we look through our album. It's so meaningful to have these memories captured on both digital and film for us to reflect on for the rest of our lives and to share with others. Not only is her work amazing - but she is truly an amazing person as well! From the moment we first spoke on the phone for our consult, I knew she needed to be a part of our day and that she would give it the care and attention we were looking for. That feeling was only cemented at our engagement shoot and then of course on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us bring our best selves forward. We're so thankful for her and cannot recommend her enough!!
