Martinez / Vigil Wedding

This wedding was a very stressful one for me simply because i booked this wedding just one day before it took place. The bride and groom had already hired a photographer for their wedding but unfortunately he became ill and wasnt able to make it. Adrian & Mariquetta contacted me on Friday and asked if I could photograph their wedding the very next day. Typically i book weddings months in advance. This allows me to visit the location where the ceremony will take place 2 – 3 times prior to the event to plan my photography and see how the lighting plays out throughout the day. There was no planning this one. I showed up just 10 minutes before the wedding was supposed to start (i got lost in Nambe, NM). The Ceremony was in Chimayo, NM and once the ceremony began, everything seemed to settle down. I was fortunate that there was ample light in the church and plenty of room to walk around getting the best angles possible.
