St. Albert the Great – Reno, NV

When I flew up to Reno to photograph Vincent and Ginger’s sacramental wedding at St. Albert the Great, I knew I was stepping into something beautifully intentional. Their day was the kind of Catholic love story that reminds you why the Church calls the wedding liturgy a nuptial Mass—because grace truly takes center stage.

As a Catholic wedding photographer who travels across the United States, I’m constantly blessed to witness how each couple lives the faith in their own way. But Vincent and Ginger? Their devotion ran deep, quiet, and steady—like the mountains surrounding their little corner of Nevada.

The Catholic Gap: Where Faith Meets Portraits

After the final blessing and recessional, we entered what I often call the Catholic Gap—that sacred pocket of time between the end of Mass and the reception. Most couples rush through portraits, but Catholic brides know this pause is a gift. It’s a perfect blend of grace, calm, and untouched emotion…the kind you simply can’t recreate later in the day.

This is where the magic of their Romantics session unfolded.

A Rosary, a Veil, and a Moment of Devotion

One of the most powerful images from the day is a black-and-white portrait of Ginger draping her rosary across Vincent’s back, her eyes lifting toward the camera while she rests against her new husband.
It’s intimate, reverent, and profoundly Catholic—an image that speaks for every bride who places her marriage under the protection of Our Lady.

Inside the church, the stained glass lit her veil with dramatic, luminous color, creating portraits that feel like living icons. Outside, the mood shifted to soft natural light and wide-open Nevada beauty—a reminder that creation itself becomes part of the celebration.

Mountains, Wind, and Grace

We finished their Romantics session at the top of a mountain overlooking the water—wind catching her veil, the lake shimmering behind them. There’s something fitting about photographing a newly married Catholic couple surrounded by God’s handiwork.
Marriage is always bigger than the two people standing in frame.
The landscape simply makes that truth visible.

Why Brides Nationwide Invite Me to Document Their Sacramental Day

Whether I’m photographing a nuptial Mass in California, Nevada, Texas, or the East Coast, my role is always the same:

To honor the sacrament.
To capture the devotion.
And to create elegant, personal, luxury Catholic imagery that preserves the grace of the day.

Couples who book me aren’t just looking for “wedding photos.”
They’re entrusting someone to document the most sacred hour of their lives—the moment when Heaven touches earth at the altar.

That responsibility shapes everything I do.
