This weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Perfect Wedding Guide Santa Fe Bridal Fair at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino.  I met some amazing vendors who we hope to work with soon and I  also met some beautiful and amazing brides.  I made up some inspiration boards in honor of the show.

Altara Wilson - I have just came across your website looking for photographers for our wedding and i do have to say that i Love your pictures. They are so beautiful! I would love to have a chance to have our engagement pictures done by you. I am so excited that you are offering a free session because me and my soon to be husband are on a really tight budget right now with me still in college. We live in Artesia, New Mexico and we are getting married in Ruidoso, New Mexico on May 21st, 2011.
