Zach & Meg // Bosque School Wedding // Albuquerque wedding photographer

The most perfect day, from start to finish. Both Zach & Megan were cool, calm and collected -- you could hardly tell they were about to embark on the biggest day of their lives.

When I met them early this year, they both shared how important it was to them to have the different elements of mother nature surrounding them, and getting married at the Bosque School couldn't have encapsulated the beauty of mother nature better. Between the cottonwood trees, the changing leaves, and incorporating so much natural beauty into the wedding (lavender bouquet, pumpkin center pieces, etc.), it was simply lovely! 

On top of Zach and Megan's sweet first look reveal and exchanging heartfelt vows, they also honored passed loved ones by having a moment of silence and lifting off balloons with the names of loved ones who couldn't be at the wedding. It was extremely touching and thoughtful, and it was hard holding back tears.

Zach and Megan, it's been delightful getting to know you guys this past year and i'm so honored to have been a part of the biggest day of your lives!!
