Darling lovebirds Curtis and Elena brought the dreamiest party to New Mexico this September with an incredibly enchanting celebration at La Fonda on the Plaza. These Colorado cuties curated a day full of stunning views, loved ones, and absolute newlywed bliss to make for an unforgettable Sunday in Santa Fe.
Even though they call Denver home, Curtis and Elena met over a decade ago in their hometown of Las Cruces. Both of these babes were in high school band together and after initially crossing paths in 2006, they officially became friends in 2008. After spending many days of hanging out, swapping iPod playlists, and getting lunch together, Elena and Curtis leaned all the way into the spark they felt for one another. Even though they separated briefly during college, these two couldn’t stay away from one another and eventually both graduated from The University of New Mexico together. After spending lots of time growing together in The Land of Enchantment (and earning deeply impressive degrees), these hunnies moved north for Elena to complete her medical residency at The University of Colorado. They are currently living and loving their dream life with their dog, Hugo, in The Mile High City.
For their wedding, Elena and Curtis created a modern, colorful, and completely stunning Southwestern day. They incorporated a ton of New Mexico inspired touches to their wedding (just peep those invitations and mariachi band) in addition to unique details including Curtis’ mint green suit, bright florals from Two Baroque Girls, Elena’s glittering Bridal gown, and the sweetest little Star Wars inspired wedding cake. We loved exploring some of the dreamiest, coziest places on the Santa Fe Plaza with these cuties just as the softest golden hour began to roll into the city. Curtis and Elena ended the night partying with so many of their favorite people and it was truly the most incredible celebration of love and pure happiness.
Cheers to a love that cannot be stopped by time, distance, or anything life throws at it. We know these two are going to have the most amazing new chapter together.
