One way a great officiant supports you is by customizing your ceremony.  Your officiant should help you choose the words and rituals that work best for you...and be creative enough to make your ideas shine in a smooth and seamless ceremony.  Yes! a great officiant has "stage presence" and knows how to engage the attention of your guests.

Another detail that makes for a smooth ceremony is performing a smooth "ring hand-off."  It's a little-known fact that rings transform into Mexican Jumping Beans during a ceremony!   Instead of trying to trying a fingertip-to-fingertip ring hand-off, it's MUCH easier to have the bride and groom pick up the ring from the officiant's flat palm. 



2011 Marks the Return of the "Unveiling Ritual!"  More brides are returning to tradition and walking down the aisle with a sheer veil over the face.  The bride below had her father lift the veil off her face.  Other brides wait until just after the pronouncement of marriage and before the kiss for the veil removal.  The ceremony pictured below took place at the cool green and shady pavilion at the Bio-Park in Albuquerque.  Thank you, Guillermo of Natural Touch Photography for the photos!












A beautiful wedding at Hotel Andaluz had elements of tradition (the unveiling ritual) combined with a very cutting- edge bride with a gorgeous tattoo on her arm.  Thank you to Sergio of Sergio Salvador Photo.

YOUR wedding is a person statement about you and your partner. 
Let us help make it special!
