About Sonya
Your wedding lasts only a day, but the memories can live on forever with the right photographer. I'm not just taking photographs. I'm also preserving people's memories. When it comes to wedding photography, in essence what I am doing is building a wedding story for the couple. People show you their personalities, and I enjoy expressing that in the photographs I take. With a pre-wedding consultation I get to meet the couple and see what their personalities are like, and I adapt my style to suit them. I like to make the portrait and romantic photo time as fun and relaxed as possible as well as spending a majority of the time in an unobtrusive way. I'd like to think that what I create will live on in the hearts and minds of people forever. It makes me happy to know that I am bringing a little more sweetness and beauty into the world with my photographs.

I have also photographed celebrity weddings in Las Vegas, including John Taylor of Duran Duran and his wife Gila, owner and creator of Juicy Coture clothing, and retired NBA player Rodney "Rod" Strickland. I photographed Nicole Falsone Ms. United States 2005 for many years, and champion boxer Danny Romero. I've also photographed such politicians as Bill Richardson, Heather Wilson, Pete Dominici, and others. I am a member of the WPPI, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International. Recently I was asked to photograph the cast of AMC's Breaking Bad and was named "Best Photographer" in Albuquerque the Magazine 2008.
