I hired Vic to photograph my bridal shower based on some recommendations on FaceBook! I took one look at her portfolio and knew that she was talented. She made the booking process super easy and was reachable via Email and Text. She formalized the agreement via contract which was very professional and helped me guarantee that she would be committed to my event. On the day of the event, she went above and beyond. She helped calm me as we were running a bit late but she kept things moving the whole event. She captured photos of me, my guests, and got detailed shots of all our decorations. Our guests loved that she offered pointers on how to pose and stand. Not to mention she took several photos of every shot - I’ve worked with photographers in the past who will only take 1 shot, but not Vic! After the event, she gave me all the unedited photos within 48 hours which was a HUGE win! She captured around 700 photos of my 2 hour event - I was stunned in the best way. Overall, working with her was a dream and I cannot wait to hire her for my next event.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Memories By Lindsay

I love capturing people at their happiest times. I'm not about forced awkward posing, I want the real kind of love, the kind of love where you are so in the moment I'm capturing the in-between when you think no one is watching. I want the steamy, intimate, kiss you on the neck, pull her hair back, smack her butt, kind of love. Capturing real moments with real people, That's photography to me.  

Awarded Best of Zola
Lindsay is always the first photographer that I recommend to any couple getting married. She is incredible and talented at what she does. Her photos tell such a genuine story - a reflection of how the Wedding Day felt - true emotions, raw moments. She captures each couple's personality story perfectly... no curation needed. She is also such a positive force to have around on what is typically a stressful and emotional day - she remains calm, will be your biggest hype woman, and will always encourage you to have fun be your most authentic selves.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

STEPHANE LEMAIRE PHOTOGRAPHY 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Ruidoso Downs, NM

I first started working for an Architectural Photography studio in 2001, after graduating from Photography School in Paris. Architecture photography is all about composition. I would go around the city photographing buildings and structures with those big cameras that you see in old movies. Although I gained lots of experience in photography technique and image processing in the dark room, I always felt I was missing something. In 2004, I started working for a Wedding Photography studio and photographed my first wedding. From then on I fell in love with the beautiful world of Wedding Photography, full of intense emotions and experiences.

Stephane was truly a highlight of our engagement and our wedding day! He and his assistant were incredibly thoughtful, helpful, and they made each moment meaningful! I really appreciated the fact that he spent time with us before we booked him so everyone would feel confident it was a good fit! He put it best - if he’s excited about us and our wedding, the photos will reflect that and same with us - if we’re excited about him photographing our wedding, then we’ll put our best into it! Stephane and his team were just absolutely lovely. He made sure to get the shots we asked for, but also let us have fun on the big day! I’ve seen too many couples throughout the years who get dragged out of fun dancing for photos and he was so mindful to let us have our fun and pull us away only for a second when we weren’t actively doing something! Hiring him was the best decision my husband and I made! I would do everything over in a heartbeat. My mother passed away two months before the wedding and he texted me a sweet message expressing his condolences when he found out and was incredibly respectful when I asked if he could take pictures of us visiting my mother’s grave after the ceremony. If you’re considering hiring him, please do!! You will not regret it! He’s worth every single penny and then some and he will take absolute great care of you and your spouse! My husband is the absolute pickiest guy on the planet and he’s already told Stephane that he’d like him to take our future child’s baby photos! LOL if that’s not enough of a testimony, I’m not sure what is!! Stephane, thank you and your assistant for everything!!! We had an absolute blast and we loved working with you two. We hope to work with you again soon!

  • Serves Ruidoso Downs, NM for additional fees

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

If you are looking for the best, I mean the BEST photographer out there, look no further!!! We wanted someone who would “get us”, to be able to navigate all the craziness of an older audience… we were a small party but one with multiple challenges and Maya made it fun, entertaining, and exciting. She got everyone to participate no matter how much they declined. I’m so grateful that we found Maya! She’s full of energy and she goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is included, double checks with the bride and groom to make sure that we got everything covered that we wanted. By the end of our initial interview with her, she already felt like part of the family… if I had to do it all over again, I would hire her in a hot second!!! (I'll probably created reasons to hire her brilliance again.) Don’t let this one get by!!! Every BRIDE needs a MAYA!!! If I have a need to hire a photographer again, for any reason, I’ll be calling Maya!!! (I’ll probably create reasons just so I can hire her brilliance again) She will capture moments you didn’t realize existed, it’s so heartwarming to see all the smiles captured during the “candid moments”. Our Best Man even commented on how much we were all smiling during the entire day, and how refreshing it was to see so many happy people! We didn’t just have a wedding, we had an experience! Thank you Maya for everything you did to make our day so extraordinary!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state!

Services: Photo | Video | Super 8mm Film Serving fun, care-free couples in the West Texas area & beyond. Thanks for stopping by! My name is Ginger, I'm an intimate wedding and elopement photographer and filmmaker based in Lubbock, TX. I would love the opportunity to photograph or film some wonderful memories you can hold onto forever. I believe in capturing those unique, real moments that matter most to you. The moments you can look back on and remember the scenery, the people who were with you and how you felt in those moments. I'm a firm believer in making memories and making them last through imagery or film.

Ginger is the BEST to work with! she is so kind and communicative. She makes her subjects feel instantly at home, allowing the best photos to be captured. All of our photos are candid, relaxed, and so US (which is exactly what we asked for). Book Ginger - make it the easiest decision of your wedding planning process.

I booked a session with Lakyn a couple years ago for me and my boyfriends anniversary photos. She was very accommodating and super easy to work with. We have since had several sessions with her and I refuse to have anyone else do our photos. Not only is she our photographer but an incredible friend of ours. When the time finally comes she will most definitely be our wedding photographer. A couple weeks ago a friend of mine asked if she could do some photos for us for her portfolio, my boyfriend said “ absolutely not, only Lakyn does our photos“. Even with her most recent move to Texas she still has offered to do our photos when she visits home. We are so grateful for Lakyn and her incredible work!
