2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.

Dave + Lauren, a Los Poblanos Couples Session

Two years ago, we captured Dave and Lauren’s beyond sweet wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza up in little old Santa Fe, so when they visited New Mexico earlier this year, we knew we had to photograph them at one of our other favorite places, Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm.

This pretty February day was one of the last we shot before the world shut down for a bit, and we couldn’t have been more thankful that it was with these two absolute angels. We’ve loved not only capturing Dave and Lauren over the last few years, but we’ve been lucky enough to become friends with them (on ig and in real life) too!

We’re so grateful for days like this and for couples that come into our lives for all the right reasons, we love you two so dang much!!

Engagement Inspo - Winter Engagements

Being based in the gorgeous state of New Mexico has a ton of perks and one of those just happens to be getting to experience all four seasons!

If you know us, you know that our team thrives in all seasons, but winter is a special one for us. We don’t shoot a ton of winter engagements or weddings, but when we do, its some kind of magic. We love any opportunity to frolic through the glistening snow with some cutie couples. And an added bonus, we get to catch our lovers getting extra cozy!

Check out how our lovers have heated up the frosty weather by scrolling through this sweet little post!

Billy + Faith, a Snowy Santa Fe Anniversary

We usually don’t get to capture sweet anniversaries with couples so when Faith, owner and boss babe of Faith Woods Events, told us that she and her hubby were celebrating 5 years and wanted to shoot with us, we were over the moon! Not only is Faith adorable (especially with her incredible boo Billy), but she is also an amazing event coordinator based out of Northern Alabama. We were so thrilled to be a highlight of their little getaway to Santa Fe this winter, come back soon lovers!!!
