Last September we got to return to one of our favorite little venues hidden right in the heart of Albuquerque, Old Town Farm, for Russell and Katie’s beautiful elopement. Being a part of these lovers’ day was such a gift and we’re beyond grateful for this lovely, quiet evening with them.
Russell and Katie first connected in Columbia, Ohio through a dating app and even though they initially didn’t meet for several months, they immediately hit it off. A few years later, their cutie son Jack was born and five short months after starting their little family together, Russell proposed on Christmas morning of 2018. Katie, of course, said yes and these two started off their engagement by picking out rings together.
After their initial spring wedding was postponed and then cancelled due to COVID, Russell and Katie decided to alter their celebration down to just a tiny elopement. They were able to keep their dreamy little venue, Old Town Farm, for the most beautiful fall evening. Katie’s modern yet elegant bridal style was absolute perfection and we adored how our angel Genica Lee gave this beauty the most glam hair and makeup. We’re also still very obsessed with the dark, yet colorful florals Albuquerque Florist created for this evening (especially those cranberry tones). These two said “I do” during the most perfect golden hour glow alongside their son and two of their closest friends. After their quick nuptials, we got to spend even more time with Russell and Katie as they soaked up those first hours of being married.
We were so inspired these two and so dang honored to be there to capture the next step of their journey. Congrats Katie and Russell, we adore you and your elopement so much!
