A Sandia Event Center Wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico

We had the honor of being the wedding photographers and wedding videographers for Summer and Brandon’s beautiful Sandia Event Center wedding! We, of course, LOVE photography and being able to capture each special moment between newlywed husband and wife, but there’s just an extra special element to videography.

Our couples who hire us for both wedding photography and videography get to relive their wedding moments in great detail as if they’re back in their tuxes and gowns all over again.

Each sound, expression, and bout of laughter can be viewed and heard over and over again with a wedding highlight film from us…. YOU get to be the star of your own romance film. Watch Summer and Brandon’s magical wedding film below to see for yourself.

This stunning wedding took place at the Sandia Event Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The landscaping at this wedding venue is absolutely breathtaking! Plus, they have an amazing view of our beautiful mountain range.

Sandia’s event lawn gives all the greenery needed for bright outdoor wedding photos. And they have a glistening pond of water… not too bad for our little slice of desert here in Albuquerque.

The wedding party looked amazing! The ladies wore burgundy bridesmaids dresses and the men came to impress with their charcoal slacks and vests accentuating the bridesmaids with their burgundy ties.

Summer wore a strapless lace wedding gown with a long veil flowing from her chic updo. While her newlywed husband, Brandon subtly stood out from the groomsmen with his charcoal blazer.

The groomsmen had some fun with their socks. Each wore a pair that was unique to them. These are always fun pictures to take! I spot Captain America, Hey Arnold, Cookie Monser, Donuts, and… black socks? Really? Too funny!

We had pretty great weather during their wedding for the most part, except when some rain decided to come down. But, never fear! We’re always prepared! Not only that, but these umbrellas make great photo props! Check them out below!

What a great looking group of people! They make my job easy! I really enjoyed capturing all of these special moments for Summer and Brandon. They will forever have these photos and their highlight video to cherish as they live their “happily ever after” together.

Hayley and Kelbey’s Beautiful Outdoor Wedding 2019

Hayley and Kelbey had an enchanting Spring wedding at Sandia Resort & Casino. This New Mexico wedding venue is the perfect place for an outdoor wedding. The location boasts stunning mountain views, as they are located near the Sandia Mountains. Check out the breathtaking venue for yourself in the wedding photography below.

Sandia Resort and Casino ranks high on the list of must-have venues for outdoor weddings in New Mexico. This wedding venue takes care of everything from tons of event space to catering options and an Event Planner to help make your special day perfect. You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so keep scrolling to see more of Hayley and Kelbey’s stunning wedding photography.

This wedding was so beautiful, more than words could ever say. I mean, look at those flower bouquets! This wasn’t the work of a florist they hired, but their very own family. Can you believe it? These lush green bouquets came out so uniquely stunning. The periwinkle bridesmaid‘s dresses popped behind the ravishing flower bouquets making for some fabulous photography shots.

Everything about this outdoor wedding was put together so beautifully. The Sandia Resort and Casino venue complimented the efforts put into picking out every design detail. Our beautiful blue New Mexico skies resting above our majestic mountain range and Sandia’s luscious green grass below tied the whole breathtaking outdoor wedding together. There is no point in perfecting the flowers, groomsmen outfits, bridesmaid dresses, the wedding gown and everything in between if you don’t have a stunning venue to complement your hard work.

Another thing we’ve noticed about Sandia Resort and Casino is that it makes travel arrangements for friends and family so convenient! The resort is located only minutes from the Albuquerque International Sunport and they can stay right where your wedding venue is located inside one of Sandia’s enchanting southwestern rooms.

We have done wedding photography for numerous weddings held at Sandia Resort and Casino and I can say that it never disappoints. Their land is a stunning backdrop for all types of photography that you can look back on to cherish every special moment, especially the day you marry the love of your life.

There are many good reasons to choose an outdoor wedding for your special day. It has the flexibility of catering to a huge guest list for big families or an intimate wedding with your closest loved ones. Also, natural lighting is a professional photographer’s dream. Outdoor weddings often have more decor possibilities than an indoor wedding that can sometimes restrict your options.

Whether you choose a big beautiful chapel, a mountainous outdoor wedding, or travel to elope on a sandy beach, you want to make sure that you have a photographer who can adapt to all environments for the best pictures. We believe that we are that photographer and our gallery of different weddings prove it.

Sandia Event Center Wedding | Best Wedding Photographers in New Mexico

Best Wedding Photographers in New Mexico

We are confident that our team of photographers are the best wedding photographers you’ll find in New Mexico. Our awards from WeddingWire and The Knot prove that couples agree. This Sandia Event Center wedding is a small sample of the magic we’re able to capture for your special day.

We pay special attention to the small details you spent countless days planning out. The planning and waiting for your special day can feel like an eternity unless you left it until the last minute. But, your wedding day goes by in a flash! So, we make sure that no detail is overlooked. When the dancing is over, the makeup is smudged and the guests are gone, you will have every special moment encapsulated in gorgeous wedding photography and videography so you can relive the moments as many times as you’d like. This isn’t something you want to skimp on; you can’t get those memories back if a novice photographer does a botch job.

If you’re looking for the best wedding photographers in New Mexico for your Wedding day, it’s important to take a few things into consideration. First of all, is their style consistent and cohesive? Check out their social media sites to confirm that you’re getting what you paid for.

What is the overall quality of their photography? Do they show a consistent track record of professional quality photography? A professional should never share photographs that are out of focus or taken in poor lighting. The featured photos on their website and social media accounts should always showcase the best of their work.

We cannot stress how important it is to invest into this part of your wedding because after the celebration is over, the photography and videography are the best mementos you’ll have left from that very special day. So, it is vital that you save up some money for this part, but we also understand that affordability is important too.

This is where you balance affordability with quality. If you’re getting a killer deal with a novice photographer it isn’t worth it. You only have one chance to capture this day, hire someone with experience. We like to think that we’ve balanced our quality with affordable packages to suit your wedding day needs.

When looking for the best wedding photographers make sure you look at their website. Legitimate professionals have up to date websites that show up correctly on the computer, tablet and mobile devices. This type of modern website is an investment for the photographer. The fact that they’ve invested in a proper website proves that they take their photography business seriously and as a result, will take your photography needs seriously too.

We have a lot more examples of our wedding photography that we’d love for you to see! Head over to our wedding gallery to learn why couples voted for us as the best wedding photographers in New Mexico on The Knot.
