Brooke + Dean | Day After Session | 1 Year Anniversary Session | Mills, NM Photographer

He fell in love with her…at the ranch.

Then he proposed to her…at the ranch.

So it only made sense that when the time came to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary in pictures that we would go to that same ranch where it all began.

I don’t really think I can put into words how I feel about this session, these pictures, the whole experience of this weekend. This was my first time to visit the ranch, and I have to admit.  I fell in love.  I fell in love with the freedom, the culture, the beauty, the adventure…of the ranch.  From rapelling, to hiking, to horseback riding, to smores over the campfire, to driving through open land with the windows rolled down, to sunsets, to thunderstorms, to starry nights…(literally the list goes on and on…)

This is hands down my favorite session to date.  And I think it’s easy to see why.  So I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talkin’!  Be sure to scroll all the way through…it’ll be worth it I promise. 🙂

Enjoy! 🙂

Aric + Casey

Wish you could see this bigger…because it’s insane.

After the sunset, came the storm. And I cannot tell you…how incredible it was to watch. Even more incredible to actually get some images from it!

This was actually Aric’s shot.

And this was mine, same lightning strike, different angle/lens. 🙂

And after the storm came the clearest starry sky. ever.
