Kindred souls Parrish and John are truly two angels that are meant to be together and their magical Santa Fe wedding was a testament to these cuties’ love and devotion for one another. Everyone who bore witness to this rainy, yet ethereal day knows that the love shared was one for the ages.
John and Parrish met way back in 2016 during a time when neither of them anticipated such a strong connection. Parrish, who had just started pursuing her PhD at Purdue University in Indiana, was visiting friends in Houston when she was introduced to John at a pre-game party. These hunnies immediately hit it off and spent that same evening at Christmas party taking in the views, the drinks, and each other’s company. Realizing how incredible their connection was, John and Parrish spent the next three years visiting each other whenever they could and traveling to new places together. In 2019, the universe threw these lovers a curveball when Parrish received a breast cancer diagnosis, but true to form, John never left her side throughout the entire process. After Parrish completed her treatment in 2020 and was declared cancer free, she moved back to Texas to be with John. Shortly after, John popped the question in 2021 at the Houstonian Hotel under the dreamiest twinkle lights and Parrish, of course, said ‘yes.’
After searching the globe for the perfect place to say “I do”, Parrish and John knew that no place could be better than sweet little Santa Fe, a place where they had spent many special moments together over the years. On the most serene, yet rainy October day, La Posada de Santa Fe provided the perfect backdrop to these lovers’ luxe, elegant, and absolutely show-stopping black and white soirée. Even though, Parrish and John opted out of a first look, the moment they saw each other through the rainfall during their ceremony was truly magical and deeply touching.After making their love official, these hunnies made extra time for portraits and let’s just say that their old Hollywood vibes were nothing short of an absolute day dream to capture (just peep those incredible indoor photos and breathtaking balcony moments). And if the first half of their day wasn’t awe-inspiring enough, John and Parrish threw the ultimate bash complete with a live band, sparkler towers, and the most Great Gatsby-esque champagne tower. These two finished off this marvelous day surrounded by all of their friends and family on the dance floor, truly the most lovely ending to a beyond cinematic day.
We adored the way John and Parrish love each other with a deep, unconditional devotion and we know that together these two are going to make the world around them even more incredible.
