Wedding Inspo - Fall Weddings

As the temperatures begin to drop and the world around us turns to soft shades of orange, we know that fall wedding season is just around the corner. Besides being the busiest time of the year for us, autumn holds so much promise and beauty for our team as we journey out to capture all of the nuptials taking place amid the gently changing season.

From the moody and romantic fêtes to the more subtle and easy-spirited days, weddings in the fall always bring something extra special to the mix. Whether its florals in all hues of yellow and brown or the mystical light of an autumn sunset at the end of a stunning wedding day, weddings at this time of year always bring us full circle in a perfect mix of nostalgia and inspiration.

We’re so thrilled for all of the love stories to be captured at this incredibly special time, we know that we’re going to lean into this fall in the best way possible.

Will + Lindsay, a Cozy Downtown Santa Fe Winter Wedding

Sweet lovers Will and Lindsay got to celebrate their much anticipated new chapter with all of their friends and family at the coziest downtown Santa Fe fête. We love the way these two fully embraced the Southwestern winter season for truly one of the most beautiful celebrations around.

These cuties have been together for almost a decade and tied the knot back in October of 2021 with an incredibly intimate ceremony at the iconic Pecos National Historical Site on the prettiest fall afternoon. A few months later, Lindsay and Will brought all of their favorite people together for an unforgettable bash in The City Different.

We adored the way these hunnies mixed sleek modern details with charming Southwestern touches for a wonderfully unique and elegant evening. From running around the holiday decor-adorned Santa Fe Plaza for romantics to catching some dreamy balcony views during golden hour to absolutely dancing the night away, every second of this day was a true celebration of joy and love.

Cheers on the latest chapter in a truly beautiful love story, we loved being a tiny piece of it all!

Ethan + Leila, a Gorgeous Hacienda Doña Andrea Wedding

Ethan and Leila made it official this past fall with the most gorgeous day just outside of Santa Fe. These East Coast babes’ love story was a decade long in the making and dang was it the most perfect beginning to their new chapter.

Leila and Ethan first met over 11 years ago in Seattle when they were both working at Club Monaco. Leila, who was in training, noticed Ethan looking at her and he immediately broke the ice by trying on a fur hat and asking for her opinion on it (they’ve been together ever since this cute little interaction!). Flash forward about 10 years to a trip back to Seattle after moving to the East Coast and these hunnies got engaged! Ethan proposed to Leila on the very same bench in Madison Park where they both realized they were in love with each other so many years ago (talk about the most cinematic full circle moment of all time).

These lovers knew that the Southwest was the most divine place to make it official and dreamed up the most stunning day at Hacienda Doña Andrea. Along with their tiny baby Quinn, Ethan and Leila held one of the most beautiful fall celebrations we’ve ever seen. From Leila’s bold, yet soft bridal glam by the Betty Rose and A. Salon teams to the incomparable floral design by Floral Fetish to the most perfect rooftop views, this day was everything and then some.

Give us all the epic, romantic, and downright breathtaking wedding days, we’re so beyond obsessed!

Wedding Inspo - Winter Weddings + Elopements

The temperature might be getting more and more chilly, but we know that winter weddings and elopements always bring the heat. Even though we don’t capture a ton of cold weather celebrations, the ones that we get to be a part of are so incredibly divine.

Winter nuptials are not only insanely beautiful, they’re also deeply serene. From the cozy, romantic little moments to the way this time of year just ushers in those quiet, intimate gatherings, weddings in the coldest part of the year are beyond enchanting.

Keeping our fingers crossed for even more of these magical days in the future, we’re forever in love with celebrations of love in the middle of winter.
