Hey There

We are Nickolaus (Klaus) & Em: artists, partners, and your Albuquerque documentary wedding photographers. Our philosophy is simple: your day isn't a production; it's a story. We specialize in a hands-off approach to capture it all authentically—from the quiet tears to the adventurous engagement sessions in New Mexico's landscapes and the joyous chaos of the dance party. Our goal is to preserve memories so true, you can relive the feeling for a lifetime.

I hired Klaus James Photography as the videographer for my wedding in Santa Fe, and I only have great things to say about Klaus and his team. It was a destination wedding for us, so I thoroughly researched all of my vendors before booking to avoid stress while planning from afar— I can confidently say that we ended up with the best videographer.
