Martha, The Main Photographer

September 24, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

Where do I begin? This is going to be my 5th year having New Dimension Photography (rgv) in my life! Our anniversary is coming up in October on the 11th. I can remember so many good and bad things that have happened along the way, but the only memory I have of all this, is the experience I gained at the end of the day. We've come a long way together, and I can honestly say, we are going towards the vision I've always had.  One vision we have in mind is to travel around the United States for now, capturing beautiful wedding photography. My first wedding EVER in 2009, took place in little ol' El Paso Texas. In the middle of my college career, this wedding came to be and I took days off to travel on to El Paso and capture a wedding. From that moment on, I knew I was meant to be a photographer who travels back and forth and all around, wherever the wedding is and will be. 

With this small introduction said, let me present who I am. Few questions to read below.

 

1. Where are you from and where were you raised? 
I am from Houston, Texas. I lived there for a couple of years, then following back almost every summer while I was younger in middle/high school years. I was raised in McAllen for the rest of my life. I can't remember Houston all the time anymore, but I know I would not mind living there in the big city. 

2. What is your favorite season for weddings and strongest time in your business? 
My favorite season to capture weddings are during the Fall or Winter time. The sunlight is absolutely beautiful and none the less, the photos speak for themselves. The soft and warm colors help the photo become something to embrace even more. The strongest time for my business, is during the summer. All the weddings take place during summers :) I do not hesitate that they take place in the summer, but I must say at times it is quite a challenge with the summer heat. Obviously that will never stop me from capturing breathtaking moments :) 

3. How many weddings have you captured up to now, 2014 season? 
Up to now, if I only count the weddings I've had- 80 Weddings. Believe it or not! I've had 80 weddings total. I can put all my DVD's/ CD's/ and Hard drives/ USB's together to show that I've had 80 weddings with these 5 years. So every year I've averaged about 20-25 weddings. Despite my first year, I only had 10 weddings. Slowly growing and the demand for our photography, has taken us to the next level every year. Thank you God. 

4. Did you study to become a Professional Wedding Photographer? 
MAYBE! I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of Texas- Pan American. Class of 2010. When I was just about 1 semester away from graduating, I realized I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I wanted to have my own business in photography since at UTPA, I worked in the student newspaper, and took photos for the UTPA Free Magazine on campus. It was a hard decision to even know where to begin because I was 1 semester away from graduating. My goal was to finish college in 3 years, in which I did. I wanted to keep that goal, so I went ahead and made sure I would minor in something that would help me out later in life as well. I currently have two minors; Business and Communication Design. The classes I took were all Junior-Senior level courses, so I made sure I didn't waste time in pre-req's or anything that didn't tie me down towards knowing how to develop into an entrepreneur. When I graduated, I did many things apart from Wedding Photography, realizing Wedding Photography is the one career I truly enjoy! 

5. Are you married? Any children? 
I  got married in 2012, which was absolutely the best day of my life. I will never forget my wedding nor all the wonderful family and few friends I had to join us! Yup, few friends. Everyone that took place in our wedding were our families. They are absolutely the best people anyone can ever have around to support and guide you on your journey! I am married to a wonderful man, who is an Aggie Alumni (TX A&M) and an engineer. We are still currently working on our journey together, and I believe we will always be! Marriage has been amazing and has been a gift everyday to us. I wouldn't trade this for the world. We currently don't have children yet, as to we have many goals and a bucket list to complete before then :) 

6. What are we to expect from you on our wedding day? 
A few happy tears. Love and Friendship. I am a very passionate wedding photographer. Everything I do that leads up to the wedding day is done with passion. Everything I do on the day of your wedding is done and completed with passion. I love to witness moments, capture the laughter and love between you and your fiancee. On your wedding day, expect me to be saying "uhhhh and wow" at everything taking place. I love the small details at a wedding, I love seeing the bride's beautiful wedding dress before the groom (hehe), and there is nothing that I don't love!
