Chama & Northern New Mexico Weddings

We're Richard and Gretchen, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Chama, New Mexico. We photograph weddings and elopements in soft, natural light, from ranch weddings along the Rio Chama to intimate ceremonies in Abiquiu, Santa Fe, Taos and Angel Fire. Our approach is quiet and unhurried, so your day feels like yours.
