Paloma Ruelas Photography

It’s so crazy how I meet some of my clients!

I remember when I first started my photography business COVID had just happened and everyone was doing backyard weddings and elopements! Belen had posted on her story (we hadn’t connected just yet) and requested a last minute wedding photographer for her brother’s backyard wedding since their original photographer got sick! One of my followers added my name to her list of choices and sure enough I was available and photographed their wedding. Keep in mind this was my FIRST wedding gig!

Since then, Belen and I have always been in contact through social media and is always willing to model for me when I need one! Just last year I requested a couple to do my AZ state fair session and Abraham reached out to me and see if he could propose during the session and I said OF COURSE!

Next thing you know, here we are full circle and now Belen and Abraham are getting married! Forever loving their connection and how obsessed they are with each other! I wish them both a lifetime of happiness and prosperity!

All I was singing in my head while editing these photos was “Love Story” by Taylor Swift 💕

There’s something that I love about the photos taken before the ceremony. From the giddy excitement building up to see one another, the intimate moments with your closest people, alllllll the details and one on one photo sessions with the bride and groom!

One of my biggest pieces of advice is to always add extra photography time to accommodate these precious moments. When the pre ceremony time frame is rushed, everything else will seem out of place, and it shows in photos! This is the time to cherish all the excitement and intimacy!

At the end of the day, enjoy every moment!

Some of my favorite details from Yara + Michael’s wedding that deserve a permanent place on the feed!

Although your wedding day is about you two as a couple and the people around you, your details are important too! You spend a huge chunk of your wedding planning on details alone so make sure your photographer knows how to capture them so you can cherish those details later on too!

It’s also a plus to incorporate some details and concepts that are important to you two as a couple! Makes those detail shots unique!
