Your story deserves more than just documentation— it deserves art.

No one has been more dedicated to redefining what wedding photography and cinematography can be in New Mexico and the Southwest than Shutterfreek. For over a decade, we’ve photographed and filmed weddings that go beyond poses and timelines — transforming them into immersive visual stories that feel alive, honest, and uniquely yours.

Our goal is always simple. To craft a photo and film experience that moves you, inspires you, and lasts forever.

Some call these Elopements but they're not.  These events are for couples who can't imagine getting married without their closest family & friends present, but don't feel the need to host an extravagant dinner & reception for hundreds of guests. These are some of our favorite events by far.

Included in all packages

We grew up shooting analog—and we still love it. At every event, we capture at least one roll of 35mm film, a pack of Polaroids, a pack of Instax, and sometimes a few Lomo's. Because honestly, nothing beats the feels from film.

OUR VIBE

Style & Delivery

First and foremost we are story tellers.  Over time we've realized that we not only have a knack for taking quality photographs, but we also a natural talent to connect with people in ways that allow them to feel comfortable and natural. We work extremely hard to get to the most picturesque locations & vantage points possible so that each photo becomes a literal piece of art.

While our editing style continues to evolve and refine, we prefer to emulate more of a film look.  We lean toward warmer, light grain, deep, moody film tones without compromising natural looking skin or skewing natural colors too far from what makes them beautiful in reality. We avoid fleeting editing trends and stick to  producing clean images that will stand the test of time and look as good 50 years now as they do today.
