Doug + Marissa, a Romantic Marble Brewery Engagement

When our paths crossed with absolute sweethearts Marissa and Doug, we knew it was going to be a connection to obsess over. These angels made their little engagement session the one of the most magical winter evenings we’ve ever witnessed.

These stunners met way back in 2017 at Marble Heights Brewery (the exact same brewery that we spent a part of their engagement session at) and they were instantly smitten with one another. These cuties love exploring, cooking, and just being with each other (and their sweet fur angel Addie!). A little over five years later, Doug and Marissa are going to make it official with what we’re sure will be one of the most epic parties New Mexico has ever seen at the the iconic National Hispanic Cultural Center.

We can’t freaking wait for September with these two, its going to be unreal!!!

Will + Lindsay, an Intimate Pecos Historic Site Wedding

Whenever we get to capture a love story at a National Park, we know its going to be an absolutely stunning affair. Will and Lindsay tied the knot at Pecos National Historical Site after 8 whole years together and it was truly a magical afternoon.

These lovers aren’t originally from New Mexico, but they have always been drawn to The Land of Enchantment. Lindsay and Will first met right after college when they both moved to Albuquerque and ended up being roommates. They soon after fell for each other and continued date long-distance for 5 years during grad school in California. After graduation, Lindsay and Will knew that they wanted to call the Southwest home and moved back to New Mexico to start their next chapter together.

Will and Lindsay held an intimate, minimalist wedding in Pecos with only 15 guests on the most beautiful September day. After the most heartfelt vows, these two wandered around the desert for the dreamiest portraits amid the moody mid-day New Mexico skies. We adored the beauty and simplicity of their day, from gorgeous florals from La Flora Floristry to elegantly-modern bridal glam by the Betty Rose team.

Will and Lindsay’s tiny day was truly one we treasured and dream of day after day, cheers to newlywed life angels!

Bobby + D'anndra, a Romantic Hacienda Doña Andrea Styled Elopement

After a full year of planning and postponing, we were finally able to make one of the dreamiest styled shoot-outs a reality! Along with the most stellar vendor team, we created one of the most beautiful days at our favorite place, Hacienda Doña Andrea, and invited other local photographers to capture this stunning day alongside us.

Even though we had to wait an extra year to make this day happen, it was beyond freaking worth it. Our vendor friends pulled out all the stops for this one and it’ll be a day we never forget. For the dreamiest bridal glam, Ashley and Savannah of Betty Rose by Alanna made our bride D’anndra absolutely glow! And if that wasn’t enough, our friends at Bridal Elegance by Darlene sent over not only one, but two divine bridal gowns for us to capture. To top off all that style, our bride and groom got to wear the most beautiful jewelry pieces by PAZ as well as Desert Gold Fine Jewelry.

When we started manifesting this shoot in 2020, we knew it wouldn’t be complete with our angel Lauren from Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals and dang did she make all of our dreams come true. From the coziest lounge area to the dreamiest reception scene to a ceremony set-up that perfectly complimented the vast open beauty of Northern New Mexico, Lauren brought all the magic and then some. And to add a little extra beauty to this day, Letterpress Made created the most softly minimal paper goods while Three Baby Birds gave us the cake of our dreams. To close out this gorgeous October evening, we took things to the roof where our models, Bobby and D’annadra brought the heat to one of the chilliest evenings of the fall.

Even though we don’t get to host big styled shoot-outs often, evenings like this one remind us why we love doing them so much. Cheers to bringing even more magic to the NM wedding community in 2022!!!
