Dustin + Ashley, a Los Poblanos Engagement

We adored spending a cool summer evening at Los Poblanos  with this absolutely glowing couple! Dustin and Ashley have been together for almost 9 years and have been engaged for 7 of those years! These high school sweethearts met in 2007 while both attending Manzano High School and started dating in 2009 after Dustin sweetly asked Ashley to be his girlfriend at the top of the Sandia Peak. Flash forward two years to 2011 when Dustin proposed in the exact same spot! We can't wait to photograph their gorgeous Los Poblanos wedding later this year!

Amy + Crystal, a Winter Engagement

In a love story as romantic as their engagement session, Amy and Crystal's paths crossed many times before the universe finally allowed the timing to be just right. This sweet couple describes their relationship as truly a love at first sight circumstance.  Amy, who is in the Air Force, was living outside of New Mexico while Crystal resided in Albuquerque when Amy proposed after a little over a year of being together.  This uber moody winter session is also featured on Love Inc. and their Los Poblanos wedding will take place in October 2017!
