Jordyn + Jay, a Cozy Old Town Farm Wedding

As November rolled in and the chilly Southwestern weather finally came to New Mexico, two high schools sweethearts made it official on one of the most enchanting fall days ever. Jordyn and Jay’s Old Town Farm wedding was truly one beyond belief; this day was filled with the deepest sense of community and unconditional love.

Many moons before saying “ I do”, Jay and Jordyn first met while both were just kids at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque and soon after they fell fully in love with one another. After many years of traveling all over the place, eating the best food, and exploring New Mexico together, these cuties started a family of their own with their sweet daughter, Sophia, and adorable pup, Maeby. While on vacation in San Diego, Jay proposed to Jordyn on the beach with the most stunning pearl engagement ring of all time (and Jordyn, of course, said yes!).

These hunnies knew that having their wedding in their hometown was incredibly important and once they discovered quaint little Old Town Farm, they knew they wanted a cozy, yet romantic affair right near the heart of the city. Jordyn and Jay included a lot of utterly beautiful details, like that dreamy bridal gown and unreal bouquet, but perhaps the most special aspect was the way these two included their talented friends and family in the creation aspect of their wedding: from their cake to their music to their officiant. Jay and Jordyn’s day was one filled to the brim with an unparalleled amount of joy and love, both between these cuties and with all of their guests. From soaking in the golden hour as newlyweds to dancing the night away with loved ones, Jordyn and Jay made sure that their wedding was the most unforgettable evening of all.

Cheers to married life angels, we already know you’ll bring even more brilliance into the world around you!

Will + Elizabeth, a Sublime Bishop's Lodge Wedding

We rounded off the ever-magical month of October with some very heavenly nuptials at Bishop’s Lodge right above the Santa Fe Plaza. Chicago babes Will and Elizabeth made their union official with an ethereal soirée on quite possibly the most pristine fall day one could ever hope for in the Southwest.

These cuties met back in 2011 while they were both in college at Miami University in Ohio and after their first date they were absolutely smitten with one another. Upon graduation, these two moved to Chicago where they began their new chapter together. In October of 2021, Will surprised Elizabeth with a sunset engagement on a Santa Monica beach followed by a surprise celebration with a handful of these hunnies’ closest friends and family.

Elizabeth and Will soon had their hearts set on Bishop’s Lodge for their big day as this venue’s iconic views and stunning architecture truly make it one of The City Different’s most magnificent jewels. These lovers combined all of the classic and modern details any hopeless romantic could dream of: an unparalleled Vivienne Westwood bridal gown, soft and yet chic white florals by Floral Elegance, and easily one of the best dressed wedding parties we’ve ever laid eyes on. And to top off all of the magnificence this lovely day encompassed, Will and Elizabeth made extra time for not only the dreamiest of wedding portraits, but for extremely intentional moments with their guests during cocktail hour.

We’re sure that this pair will continue to create beauty and joy on every adventure ahead of them, cheers to married life!

Skylar + Hannah, an Adventurous Mountain Engagement

Lovers Skylar and Hannah got engaged earlier with an incredible surprise proposal at Ski Santa Fe (that we got to be a part of), so when they decided to take us back to the mountains with them for their engagement photos, we knew if was going to be the most precious evening. These two are truly everything we could ask for in a couple and more, we’re so freaking obsessed with them.

Hannah and Skylar first met in 2014 when they were just high schoolers and were very quickly drawn to one another. As time passed, these cuties bonded over their mutual loves of hiking, camping, and (of course) snowboarding. Eventually these two expanded their family to include their fur babies, Winston and Walter and soon started their next chapter together in New Mexico by buying the cutest house. After their amazing proposal at the beginning of 2022 (a proposal so incredible that it was even featured in Rocky Mountain Bride!), Hannah and Skylar’s hearts were set on finding a wedding location in Colorado and during a quick trip up north, they fell in love with Woodlands in Morrison, CO.

We can’t wait to celebrate these two next fall In Colorful Colorado, we already know that Hannah and Skylar’s day is going to be one straight from our daydreams.

Mani + Liz, a Lighthearted Fall Engagement

When we first met sweet Mani and Liz, we knew instantly that these lovers are two truly amazing humans. We loved spending the dreamiest fall evening with them, adventuring along the stunning Bosque and ending the evening with drinks at Ex Novo Brewing in the heart of Corrales.

These sweethearts first met six years ago at work and eventually Mani swept Liz off of her feet after about four years of knowing one another. Mani and Liz spend lots of quality time together doing their favorite things: from cooking to exploring to dreaming about their future. Their house is filled with love in the form of two dogs, two cats, and Mani’s wonderful sons.

We can’t wait for Mani + Liz’s jazz inspired wedding this April at Casa Rondeña Winery, bring on all the drinks and all the love!!

Logan + Audry, a Magical Taos Ski Valley Wedding

On the most divine afternoon in August, Logan and Audry said “I do” after nine whole years of being together. These sweet Wisconsin angels invited us to be a part of the magic up in Taos Ski Valley and it was truly heaven on earth.

Long before they were making it last name official in the iconic Kachina Basin at Taos, Logan and Audry were just a couple of college students who happened to meet by chance through mutual friends at a party. They found an almost instant spark and have been falling more and more in love with each other since. A few years down the road, Logan and Audry moved to the beautiful Southwest where they currently live with their two pups, Skip and Georgia. And as if life couldn’t get any sweeter for these cuties, Logan proposed to Audry in 2019 on a rainy day in New York City.

For their special day, these hunnies decided to get hitched at Taos Ski Valley not only due to its immense beauty, but because its the ski resort where Logan taught Audry how to ski and it continues to be one of their favorite places in all of New Mexico. On top of having the most ethereal mountain view for their nuptials, Audry and Logan also had details that were absolutely to die for. From Audry’s divine bridal gown by Made With Love Bridal to out-of-this-world signage and invitations by Funky Olive Design to the most majestic florals by Floral Elegance to the most stunning reception design by Wild in Wonder, this day was nothing short of the most gorgeous day dream. And if their details weren’t enough to swoon over, Logan and Audry even took some time to wander around with us through the beautiful woods and serene scenery of Taos Ski Valley for some of the most enchanting romantics we’ve ever laid our eyes on.

These two and this day will forever be one that we simply can’t get enough of, cheers to all the love and joy Logan and Audry brought to their incredible summer day! We can’t wait for even more mountain weddings that will surely captivate us over and over again!

Wedding Inspo - Colorado Weddings

New Mexico may be our gorgeous home state, but dang do we absolutely adore Colorado weddings and elopements. Every once in awhile, we get to journey up to our northern sister state and it always blows us away with its stunning views and amazing celebrations.

From front porch weddings in the heart of Denver to stellar weddings on remote ranches to the most beautiful bashes among red rock formations, we’ve seen an incredibly vast amount of out-of-this-world days. We love the way the cities of Colorado are just as welcoming and cozy as the larger than life mountain ranges and state parks.

We can’t wait to be back in colorful Colorado for even more captivating days with the most lovely couples around!
