All I can say is my husband and I were blown away. Not only were our pictures amazing but my family said that he was absolutely amazing at the wedding, so kind and professional! He captured exactly what I wanted, and I am so happy with all of the pictures we got.

Clay Benedict is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with. He went above and beyond to not only help us pick a venue but make sure it was going to do well with photographs. His opinion and professionalism was super valuable. He shot both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t have been happier. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in the state of New Mexico this is your person! Super communicative and really great with kids.

You can expect about 50 to 60 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Typically, couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding date, sometimes 18 months in advance. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 5 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted backup. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
