new mexico destination wedding photographer
I had the honor of working with Craig Fritz from Twin Lens with this wedding. He was my mentor during Foundation and one of the best photographers I know. In addition, my husband, Andy Crouch was also part of the team. Here are some of my favorite images from Nicole and Oliver’s lovely destination wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The bride, Nicole, looks stunning in her Badgley Mischka dress, and her long cathedral veil during the wedding. Both Nicole and Oliver are dancers and there were a lot of ballet dancers making the reception dancing quite wild and wonderful. Oliver is a dance photographer with Ballet Zaida, check out his lovely dance work!

    Danny T - Beautiful bride, what a unique wedding dress!

Lindsey wanted photos of a simple thing that brings her happiness each day: cuddling with her boyfriend in bed. So I went over to their sweet urban Austin apartment at sunrise and took captured photographs of them, along with their boxer dog who insists on being part of the photo shoot. It was a nice day in the life moment! I love photographing this quintessentially Austin couple.

These are photos from my daughter’s birth. Taken by the amazing photographer Cory Ryan.

We tried for a home birth, and had to transfer to the hospital because of blood pressure issues. And then labored for 20 hours, until finally a c-section. It was a long and hard day, but in the end, we had an wonderful baby. My life is completely changed.

    dorothy helms - Nadine, Your pictures are fabulous. Baby is a beauty. Hope you are adjusting to it all.
    Love,

I always love shooting at Hummingbird House, and the weather was perfect for this wedding. The flowers were in full bloom and everything was alive and verdant!

The bride was stunning, and I think in the photo above she has a Natalie Portman like look about her. It was wonderful to see the love the couple have for each other, and the love their family poured on the couple.

The reception dancing was lively and they ended with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody as the last song. The entire dance floor erupted in song as people sang their hearts out to Queen. It was probably the most epic last song I’ve seen done.
