Ohhh the White Sands in New Mexico… it’s one of those places that ventures you to the middle of nowhere. Where the drive is so long and you’re wondering where the heck it is but once you arrive it feels like being on another planet. A surreal place with white sands anywhere you look and the color of the sky can change from hazy blue to pink to golden and then deep, brilliant mish mash of sunset colors.

Cassie and Nick live in New Mexico and I was super excited that both of them were down to make the trek to have their engagement photos at the Sands. Cassie is one of my childhood friends and one I consider close to the heart. It was just a bonus that not only did I get to capture this special chapter for her and Nick, but it was in an amazing place.

We hiked around the sands, played some music, popped some champs and danced it out until the sun crept down over the mountain. Here’s to Cass + Nick.
