It was sheer luck that we found Blue Rose Photography for our wedding (we were very last minute in booking most of our vendors). My husband and I weren't very organized during the planning part of everything, and Sandy was SO wonderfully patient with us constantly needing to reschedule our engagement photos. She was so friendly and sweet when we finally did get to work with her, and she has such a keen artistic eye. And from the wedding and reception I received many compliments for Terry about how good of a photographer he is and how he did such an excellent job making the photos fun and being professional. They were both an absolute joy to talk to and are warm, wonderful people. You will not regret working with Blue Rose Photography, and I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I can!

We had the pleasure of working with Sandy, Kristina, and Jimmy for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Kristina truly made us feel completely at ease and captured the most beautiful moments of our special day.
From our initial meeting, Sandy took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every shot reflected our unique style. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the entire photography process feel natural and enjoyable.
On the day of the wedding, Kristina and Jimmy were an absolute joy to work with. They seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments and genuine emotions without ever feeling intrusive. Their ability to capture the essence of our love and the joy of our celebration is truly remarkable.
When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Each image perfectly captured the magic of the day, from the heartfelt exchanges to the joyous celebrations. The quality of the photographs is exceptional, and we will treasure them for a lifetime.
Sandy, Kristina and Jimmy not only exceeded our expectations with their talent and professionalism but also made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories they have provided us with and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond to deliver stunning results.

My husband and I used Blue Rose Photography Studio for our wedding and we cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. Everyone was very professional and a pleasure to work with. Christina made us feel at ease the entire time and we had so much fun taking all of the pictures. We especially loved all of the candid photos they captured and how perfectly they preserved our wedding day for years to come! The photography is breathtaking and speaks for itself. An investment in their photography is worth every penny.

Hands down, Blue Rose is simply the best! We were originally slated to be married in September 2020 but postponed a full year to 9/19/21 due to COVID. We were so grateful Blue Rose accommodated our date change and with no trouble or extra charges. Sandy was easy to contact and was quick to respond to any emails throughout the planning process. We live out-of-state but were fortunate to meet up with Sandy on a trip to NM before our wedding to get to know each other a little better, and she is amazing - Sandy is so fun and feisty and full of energy! On our wedding day, Sandy and DeAnna, a second shooter, were the photographers. Working with them was so much fun! They made it so easy to be in front of a camera and we felt so comfortable just being ourselves. They are clearly expert photographers, and managed to capture every moment, big and small, with efficiency and grace. Their signature editing style is absolutely gorgeous, and they were happy to accommodate our request to have the finish on the photos be just a touch brighter. Ultimately the photos are exactly what we envisioned. And they are STUNNING. With each picture, we feel like we’re right back to the exact moment it was taken. And we are so grateful that they were able to capture candid emotion so well. We certainly couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Sandy and her daughter were amazing and are well experienced! I found them as I was looking for a certain style in photography for our wedding and at a reasonable price with their various packages. From engagement photos down to the wedding they were always in close contact with photo updates and appointments. They were always punctual and very patient and understanding as wedding time can be hectic. I would highly recommend Blue Rose photography.

Sandy and Kristina were wonderful. Just days after my wedding, they had some sneak preview shots available that made me feel more beautiful than I could have imagined. Multiple family members and friends said that the pictures look like scenes from a movie. They are professional, efficient, and excellent communicators. They ensured that every second of the time spent with us was spent capturing every detail. They have an incredible vision and see the beauty in the smallest details. I couldn't recommend them more.

Sandy was absolutely amazing. She had such a loving amazing personality and knew how to make us feel at ease. My husband and I are so happy and we absolutely love Sandy.
It is a family business that has been around for decades and it shows in their confidence to catch perfect moments. Our pictures are better than I ever could have dreamed. I cannot wait to book her for our future milestones.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE!! Sandy and Kristina are the most genuine and wonderful people I have ever worked with! Kristina and her team did an incredible job capturing our wedding day and are truly excellent when it comes to working with the largest/loudest wedding parties (12 bridesmaids and 12 groomsman). They are very efficient in their work and did not miss one special moment. I also did my boudoir with Kristina and had so much fun! All of our pictures came out in beautiful quality and we look forward to cherishing these photos forever. Thank you again for your amazing work Kristina!

Sandy and Kristina were the most amazing duo I could have ever asked for. They were so very patient with me. Sandy was always such a bright person to work with. We worked with her for engagement photos and then I worked with Kristina for a boudoir shoot. She put me at ease, and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. We were so blessed to have them both photograph our wedding, and it was like I had two of my dearest friends there with us. Their work is breathtaking and unbeatable, and their professionalism blew my mind. I cannot wait to book them in the future for other life events - in fact, I can't imagine ever working with anyone else. Thank you so so much for all that you've done! Truly could not have done it without you.

Sandy and her team are amazing! We did our engagement photos and wedding day photos with Blue Rose. Sandy has a great eye for catching great shots. She is very warm and friendly and helped my husband and me feel very relaxed during our photos. My wedding party loved her too! I've only seen a preview of some of the wedding day photos, but I'm blown away by the beautiful shots she got...she is magical! I also love that they create a wedding album book for you as part of the package. I got to see some samples of the books in the studio and they are beautiful and well made. You will not be disappointed if you choose Blue Rose for your wedding day!

The BEST of the very BEST! I could go on for hours raving about how much I adore Blue Rose. My wedding day was absolutely beautiful, but before the ceremony got started, we experienced some very bad weather...I'm pretty sure I was a nervous wreck and if it wasn't for Sandy - I would have lost it. She made sure to keep me calm and positive throughout the entire afternoon of photos. Besides the Blue Rose team being such a delight to work with - their work alone is stunning! They take the most beautiful photos and help you to feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process! From engagement sessions to he big day - Blue Rose Photography will be by your side making sure everything is perfectly in place! To those of you planning your big day in the NM area, please be sure to use Blue Rose!

Let me start by saying that I would recommend Blue Rose to anyone. My husband and I are so fortunate to have had such a great photographer for engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Sandy is a one of a kind photographer! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gives great direction in order to get the perfect shots! Even though she just took pictures at our wedding on Saturday, she already released two which are absolutely stunning!

Choosing Courtney from Blue Rose to photograph our wedding was the best decision we made. She was courteous, professional, and responsive. Throughout the day, she made us laugh and feel comfortable (this is a big deal for me since I usually hate having my picture taken.) She gave us space when we needed it and helped make us laugh throughout the day. I cannot wait to see the photos (our wedding we just a few days ago), but I have no doubt she created and captured many wonderful moments. We also received compliments from many of our guests on Courtney's great personality. I highly recommend!

Blue Rose Studios is the best photography studio in Albuquerque. The pictures they take are absolutely incredible, and not only is the original photo amazing but their photos are also art. They are pieces of art with creativity and angles that are unreal. I absolutely love them and recommend them to everyone!

The photographers that we worked with were wonderful and our photos came out amazing! They took all of the important, must have shots and asked for our input if there was anything else we wanted. We were a little rushed, but I feel like that was due to the venue and not the photographers. We had a very small window before we had to leave the chapel. I'm not sure about the cost for the actual session because it came with a package, so under cost I used the amount we spent on ordering photos. So that price can vary depending on what you order. We went with the album that they create for you and I can't wait to see how it looks!

The photographers know the location we had our wedding and knew we had a limited time. They got everyone in and out while still covering everything that they wanted. The detail was great and they had no problem organizing everyone they way it should be.

Overall I was really pleased with our photographs. Even the night-time shots turned out well! Looking back some of the poses seem a little silly, and I'm sad I don't have a pic of my maid of honor giving her toast! I would definitely recommend them, but I would just tell the bride to make sure she has enough time to do lots of photos and still get to the party!

My wife and I chose Blue Rose for our wedding pictures (and an engagement sitting, which was free!) and they were simply amazing. I can't even begin to describe how incredibly happy we are by every single aspect - Terry (our photographer) was fantastic, the staff at Blue Rose was fantastic, and most importantly, our pictures were fantastic! I've been in several of my friends weddings over the past several years (and have served as an officiant in several more), and hands down no other studio in town is even in the same league as Blue Rose. Terry was very personable, easy-going, and friendly, while remaining very professional the entire time. I couldn't have asked for anything more! I can honestly say choosing Terry and Blue Rose was the best choice of the entire wedding (aside from me choosing my wife, of course!)

From beginning to end, they were extremely professional and accommodating. The photographers were easy to work with and not too demanding! Yet they still got a million great shots! They were very patient with us when we worked on our album and we loved how it turned out. We had a great experience with Blue Rose and the most important part- the photos- are beautiful and impressive and we will cherish our creative album forever.
