Wedding Services

Reverend Jewel Howard
marriage ceremony in Taos, New Mexico
When I marry a couple, I have a unique viewpoint — I see their faces, read their body language, observe the way they connect to each other, their loved ones and me. Some are totally connected to each other and oblivious to everyone else. Some are giving instructions even as they share their vows. Some are totally conscious in the present. Some are in another world, some on another planet.
 

What would I say to you as you enter your wedding day...

  • You want it to be wonderful, but "wonderful" doesn't mean perfect. Don't try to micromanage the event — leave space for the "magic" to happen.
     
  • You can't control this event any more than you can control life. This is an event of the heart — spontaneity, joy and passion are qualities of the heart.
     
  • Be present. Be conscious. Be flexible.
     
  • Don't take it personally — any of it.  Be grateful for it — all of it.

Small weddings of two and large weddings of two hundred — many of them in our local bed and breakfast inns, where I am always moved by the generosity and kindness of the Innkeepers and the guests, especially to the couples who come to Taos on their own. It's been an honor and a privilege to share these moments, and so many more.

 

"Getting married is not about fantasy; it is perhaps the most real ritual there is... that is where I think the magic lies in weddings. You walk in single and walk out married. That is a huge transformation, like changing water into wine."
          - Lois Smith Brady, 'Vows, Weddings of the Nineties' from the New York Times

 
Venus Masci Photography

My photographs reflect my creative vision as they capture the magic of your wedding day and the essence of your personalities. I am passionately committed to documenting your wedding with as much richness of detail as possible, without interrupting or distracting from your very special day. My goal is to co-create a collection of images for you to treasure for years to come.

I prefer the classic look of film for weddings because of the depth and saturation I can obtain. However, I do offer on-line ordering service to provided viewing access for your friends and family.

I offer a number of Wedding Packages designed to meet your individual needs and budgets.

Contact me for information regarding price, deposit requirements and availability.
