We are so grateful for her professionalism and experience, as she organized all of the vendors and kept our wedding on a timeline. Not only is she a great wedding planner, but she genuinely was excited for us and shared in our love and joy for the months leading up to our event. It is obvious how much Alena loves her job. I hope she is able to continue to grow her business and share her skills with many more couples for years and years to come. Thank you Alena!!!!

Alena is extraordinary. Absolutely top notch - she is a total cut above the rest! I run anxious and…read moreI was incredibly worried about everything going well (after having lost my first wedding venue in California and needing to put together a totally new wedding in NM in 5 months, I was especially concerned). Since I live in CA, I was working with Alena remotely, which could have caused problems with someone less capable. No problems at all with Alena, her work was A+. Not only was I able to 100% trust Alena with all of my worries and details, but she went above and beyond in every way during my wedding in Santa Fe in August. She will have every detail that is important to you in her brain day of, and make sure that it happens precisely as you want it to happen. She will solve problems before they even get to you. She will be a shepherd to you and your spouse on your big day - not pushy, but not a pushover. There in exactly the way you need her. She knows her craft, and she executes like the expert she is. She is worth every single penny and more. She has a calming, but kickass presence that will complement you in whatever way your personality type needs. Her organizational skills and professional demeanor truly impressed us during the whole lead up to the wedding and the day of. She managed all of our vendors with elegance, but a get-it-done attitude as well, and they had great things to say about her to us as well. I wish I lived in New Mexico so I could work with Alena on more events. She is unbelievable. Hiring her was the best decision of our entire wedding - and my husband and I say that every time we reminisce about our big day. She made it even better than I imagined...which I did not think was possible!!

She shared planning timelines for us for the year leading up to our wedding, which were so helpful! Following her checklists made planning on our end so simple. Her vendor recommendations were flawless, as well. Once we hit the 8 week mark, she completely took over. She always referred to us for final decisions, but contacted all of our vendors and arranged everything perfectly. Shelby did everything in her power to keep us as least stressed as possible. On our big day, everything was seamless and so organized. We received so many compliments on how the day flowed so well and on the lack of hiccups. All of this was thanks to Shelby! She is a true master event planner. She is professional, but also warm and funny and kind. She had every minute detail accounted for, and our wedding day was perfect as a result. I am SO glad we hired Shelby to help plan our wedding. I will be forever grateful to her for helping us have the best day ever!

She always answered her emails, even after the wedding. They worked seamlessly with the venue and were our trusted source of information.

The good, the bad, and the review…read more.. We used Kevin's for our wedding in September of 2014. They are fairly expensive, but we wanted to splurge on pictures because we felt they were very important. We got a lot of great pictures, don't get me wrong. However, we got zero close up face photos and zero pictures of our hands with our rings. Overall, the pictures that were taken were great, and a few were very exceptional at the Botanic Gardens. I did have to tell the photographer, (not Kevin) that we were "for sure" doing photos from across the water (this is the reason we chose Kevin's in the first place) even though he disagreed with me about it at first after our ceremony and during our couple shoot. I'm so glad we did because these turned out to be our favorite pictures of the day. Maybe he traded any close up pictures for across the water pictures in his mind time wise? He could have been stressed about time since we were running behind schedule. I will definitely take the blame for that one, though I'm sure most weddings run slightly behind schedule. I am disappointed that I don't have close up face pictures of me and my hubby on our special day. Also, I'll I don't have a traditional picture of our hands together with rings. I was hoping for some more artistic touches and special, quiet, romantic, serious moments. There were no plays on black and white with one color in the editing or anything like that. However, the across the water pictures are absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. I have mixed emotions about this review. Both exceptional photos, yet some missed moments also. I'm sure it's nearly impossible to remember everything in a limited amount of time. A HUGE plus is that the photographer was very kind, fun and made our bridal party and family feel relaxed... Especially during the reception. As a tip for any wedding photographer, I would definitely write down the EXACT photos you want in advance so you aren't left without something that's important to you. It's something you won't think of on your special day and you rely on the photographer to call most of the shots. There is stress on the photographer as well, so some things can just be forgotten. We didn't get to meet with our specific photographer to discuss what photos we really wanted before our wedding day. I did chat with him over the phone, but I should have been more proactive about meeting with him in person. Overall, some very exceptional photos and a good experience.

Once we got the proofs back, we knew this is who we would hire for our wedding. What I really love about Kevin is how daring and creative he is. He ask my husband and I to stand on the ledge of a building for the perfect shot. As nervous as I was, I'm so happy we did it. We ended up with the most iconic wedding photo ever on top of the banquet loft building in downtown Albuquerque (photo attached). I highly recommend Kevin and his team.

Texts, phone calls. Nothing. The next day I started emailing every photographer in Albuquerque and Santa Fe by that first name. It was almost 3 panicked days before I was able to speak to this person and look at their portfolio. Not that it mattered, there was no way to find another photographer, that we would choose, with less than a week's notice. To seal his lack of integrity with some bad karma - he told us his ill mother had taken a turn for the worse and he needed to go immediately to Colombia and was giving all his jobs to other photographers for the rest of his year! He never left town! It was a LIE!! Also, we had no choice but, to pay him the full balance in advance of our wedding, or risk not having any photos. And, he asked for $200 more than the signed contract! Also, his deal is to give you a free engagement shoot. We never got ours, as every time I would ask for some available dates, letting him know we are very flexible so, we could make it convenient for him, I would not hear back from him. Lastly, he got the drive from the photographer and did the edits. His idea of editing is to turn some photos black & white (which we can all do with our phones). There were over 60 good (unique, meaning not too similar that he would have maybe thought they were unnecessary) photos that he did not deliver to us!! Would post negative stars if possible!!

We went to several different locations, and Guillermo directed us in a professional but relaxed way. He was great at finding the best places for posed photos, but also making sure to capture all of the candid moments in between. We had a great time during the shoot, it was all very easy and smooth. The completed photos were sent to us very quickly after the shoot, in a matter of days, and we loved all of them. We ended up getting the perfect photos for our Save The Date and our wedding website. We will definitely book Guillermo again! If you want an uptight, "no fun" photographer, look elsewhere. If you want someone to make the whole process feel easy and natural, book Guillermo!
