Nathan + Cathryn, a Breathtaking Stakeout Taos Wedding

From the very beginning we just knew that Nathan and Cathryn’s stunning Taos wedding would be an incredibly special day. These lovers brought so much joy and love to their beautiful day up north, we’re truly and utterly obsessed with it all.

These cuties first met a few years ago and even though Nathan was living an hour away in Santa Fe, the distance couldn’t keep them apart. After their first date in Albuquerque, Nathan and Cathryn became inseparable and soon after hit so many amazing milestones together including running a marathon, moving in together, and (of course) surviving the quarantine craziness of 2020. These angels love exploring all of New Mexico’s stunning deserts and mountains together along with Cathryn’s sweet daughter, Taylor.

When Nathan and Cathryn told us that they were making it last name official at The Stakeout Taos, aka the most iconic little spot, we were so dang stoked. These two brought beauty and simplicity to their day, from the most stellar florals by Mini Falls Farm, to the dreamiest views of the wilds of Taos, to the most heartfelt ceremony around. Our sweet bride Cathryn brought some truly unreal bridal details to this day with an elegant, yet modern Justin Alexander gown and beyond gorgeous glam by our queen Genica Lee. And to top it off, Nathan’s restaurant, Paloma Santa Fe, where he works as a chef/partner, catered the entire wedding and created the most beautiful cake for this special day!

No matter what kind of celebration we’re capturing, we know that there’s guaranteed to be some variety of magical florals involved. For us, bouquets always take the cake on wedding and elopement days, these beauties say so much about a couple, their nuptials, and their love story.

From the tiniest blooms to the biggest florals, bouquets are always one of our favorite details. Whether they’re dainty and soft or bold and bright, bouquets know how to steal the show. We love seeing our couples chose the most elegant, classic florals or even opting for something modern, colorful, and completely out-of-the-box.

2021’s bouquets were the downright dreamiest, we can’t wait to see what 2022 and beyond have in store for our floral-loving hearts!!!!
