It’s hard to describe just how majestic this location is. Perhaps that why this bride-to-be called and asked if we could do her photo shoot right next to the Organ mountains and later at White Sands. She grew up in Las Cruces and wanted to capture a piece of her hometown, even though she lived on the other side of the country and would be married far away from New Mexico. An Organ Mountain and White Sands Engagement Session…I loved the idea of using the Organs as a backdrop and just stood in awe of the gorgeous colors of the gold grass, purple mountains and white clouds. And then to ask an amazingly sweet and beautiful couple to stand in the midst of that scene for their photos was more than picturesque…it was near perfect.

To follow our time at the base of the mountains was a trip to White Sands. White Sands is a photographer’s negative space dream come true. Wide open spaces, serene hills of white, and then this couple standing the midst of it all. There’s just something about how a couple in love can ignore the world around them, and this spot helped them to do just that. It was crazy gorgeous. I really hope you enjoy…
