Serving New Mexico, West Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado
Wedding Photographer in New Mexico & West Texas
Your wedding day goes by fast. My job is to slow it down, catching the quiet glances, the big laughs and the moments you didn't even know happened, so you can relive all of it for years to come.
I'm Clay, and I photograph weddings and elopements everywhere from small-town churches to wide-open ranches and red-rock deserts. My approach is relaxed and natural. I'll guide you when it helps and step back when the moment speaks for itself.
My wife comes to every wedding with me. She's there to fluff your dress, wrangle family photos and keep the day running smoothly, so you can stay present with the people you love.
You'll get a full gallery of beautifully edited images, 40 to 50 for every hour I'm there, plus heirloom albums and print collections if you'd like something to hold onto.
Whether it's 50 guests or 300, I'd love to hear your story. Reach out, and let's start planning.

AWARDS
It is a profound honor as a photographer to witness two people falling in love
Jesh de Rox
WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL?
I'm based in Portales, New Mexico, and I photograph weddings all over New Mexico and West Texas, including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Lubbock, Amarillo and Fort Worth, plus Durango, Colorado and Oklahoma. Getting married somewhere else? Ask me. I love a good road trip.
HOW SOON WILL WE GET OUR PHOTOS?
For summer and winter weddings, galleries are ready in 6 to 8 weeks. Spring and fall are my busiest seasons, so for those weddings please allow 8 to 12 weeks. Every image is edited by hand, and that takes time to do right.
DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS AND PRINTS?
Yes. I offer 10x10 heirloom albums in saddle brown leather with gold foil stamping, plus print collections. Some packages include an album, and you can add one to any other package.
ARE THERE DISCOUNTS?
Weddings on a weekday, or any time from November through March, get $200 off any package.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE GET?
You'll get about 40 to 50 fully edited photos for every hour I'm with you. For a 6-hour wedding, that's around 240 to 300 images, delivered in a private online gallery you can share with family and download from.
DO YOU BRING A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
No. I photograph every wedding myself, so you get one consistent style and one person who knows your day from start to finish. My wife comes with me to help with dresses, family photos and keeping things on schedule, which lets me focus on your photos.
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
Yes. Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. They're included in some packages and available as an add-on for the others.
HOW DO WE BOOK?
Send me a message through the contact page with your date and venue. Once we've chatted, a signed contract and a retainer lock in your date.
