​​Let's Go on a Voyage Together

Ally + John's Purgatory, Durango, Wedding Fall 2022

The timing was perfect.  The fall aspens were at their color change apex and the surrounding mountains had just received a light dusting of snowfall.  Conditions couldn't have been more gorgeous... And then there was the storm.

As a Durango photographer I am constantly concerned about weather in the local mountains which tends to be erratic at best; Ally and John's wedding was no exception to "Murphy's law."  The weatherman said "it's gon' rain," and I would be lying if I told you that I was not concerned.  Photography in the rain is not ideal and when I pulled up to Purgatory it was a deluge!  Luckily, as Coloradans know, a typical rain storm in the Southwest does not tend to last long.  After a quick conference we decided to keep the ceremony on time and the wedding photography was a go!  The clouds were dark, the background was ominous, and the photos were stunning.  It did not rain again.  ​

Spirits were high, temperatures were moderate, and the cloud cover was low.  It was a Durango photographers dream.  The lighting was absolutely excellent.

What My Clients Are Saying:

​"My husband and I have known Andy for years and when we got married he was our first choice for photographers for so many reasons. We wanted someone who would capture our big day without it feeling intrusive, or forced, he was so fun and easy going and put us and our guests/wedding party at ease. His natural ability to capture and highlight landscapes made for pictures that showcase why we choose to get married in the mountains. He paid close attention to details, and got candid shots we absolutely love. Additionally he was so organized and got every posed shot we had asked him for, without us having to worry or keep track. He got the pictures back to us quickly and has been so fun and professional to work with. I highly recommend Andy for any occasion." -Nicole Patrick
