Skylar + Hannah, a Breathtaking Woodlands Colorado Wedding

When high schools sweethearts Hannah and Skylar were wed in the mountains of Colorado, it was truly a sight to behold. These angels took their love to new heights with a day that will be forever etched in the memories of all who witnessed it.

Long before their elevated alpine soirée, these hunnies first crossed paths the summer before their senior year of high school. Even though Skylar and Hannah always stole glances at each other in passing, they didn’t officially connect until one fate-struck night at a party among friends. Their spark was instant and soon, Hannah and Skylar were beyond smitten with each other. From traveling the world to snowboarding their way across the Southwest, these lovers have always shared the most incredible sense of adventure and lust for living to the fullest. Years after falling madly in love, Skylar proposed at the very first ski slope they had ever snowboarded together one, Ski Santa Fe (an occasion that we got to be a tiny part of).

These lovebirds knew that the mountains were a must for their nuptials and upon visiting Woodlands in Morrison, Colorado, they were head-over-heels for this little white barn in middle of the Rocky Mountains. Along with a soft, yet eye-catching fall palette and some of most incredible details of all, this dream day fell perfectly into place. From their enchanting first look to taking a shot during their ceremony to catching part of the sunset on a mini cliff to dancing the night away with all of their favorite people, Hannah and Skylar not only made their special day unforgettable, they made it joyous for all who were lucky enough to attend it.

We’ve adored these two from day one and we have no doubt that Skylar and Hannah will continue to inspire everyone around them with their radiant love for each other and for life. Cheers to these babes, we’re downright obsessed forever!

Sean + Kate, a Golden Hour Foothills Engagement

New Mexico lovers Kate and Sean stole our hearts from the moment we met them. These humans are so charismatic, loving, and downright fun; they truly made this sun-drenched fall evening one to remember.

These cuties have been going strong for five whole years, initially meeting as undergrads in college and then reconnecting years later. Sean and Kate now live in Albuquerque with their sweet pup Peach!

Curtis + Elena, a Stellar Colorado Engagement

Longtime lovers Curtis and Elena might be from New Mexico, but they invited us up to our sister state Colorado for their super gorgeous engagement session in Loveland Pass. These angels truly made this dreamy October day even more stunning.

These babes first met over 15 years ago while both attending high school in Las Cruces, NM. They officially became friends two years later while on a band trip and eventually their friendship blossomed into love. Even though they separated for a short time when Curtis moved to Albuquerque to pursue a degree at The University of New Mexico, they soon reunited when Elena also made the move up north and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Soon after graduating from UNM, these cuties moved to Denver where Elena is completing her residency at The University of Colorado and Curtis is working as a city planner. They love cooking, exploring colorful Colorado, and hanging out with their fur baby Hugo!

Curtis and Elena are going to make it official this September with a Southwestern inspired day at La Fonda on the Plaza and we just know its going to be as remarkable as they are. Cheers to over a decade of love cuties!

Jeremy + Kaite, a Dreamy Los Poblanos Engagement

As if our 2022 couples couldn’t get any dreamier, Jeremy and Kaite walked into our lives and dang are they an absolute joy to know. These Alaskan angels are tying the knot this fall at Los Poblanos and we were so thrilled to spend the prettiest evening with them.

These cuties first met at a huge pharmaceutical dinner in 2017 in Anchorage , Alaska and even though they caught each others eye, Jeremy and Kaite did officially meet for another 4-6 weeks at another dinner. Jeremy, who was absolutely intent on getting Kaite’s number, finally made the connection happen and soon these two were on their first date. After a few years together, living with their fur baby Toulouse and creating their own indoor jungle in Alaska, these two started a new chapter when Jeremy proposed to Kaite at Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park in Hawaii.

We can’t wait to see these babes again this September for the most intimate truly divine wedding day!!!

Matt + Elsa, a Serene Santa Fe Engagement

We spent the most beautiful Santa Fe evening with cuties Elsa and Matt. These babes are tying the knot in 2022, but we were so excited to spend a little bit of time with them before they make it official.

These hunnies met before the pandemic, but grew super close during 2020’s lockdown. Matt and Elsa eventually moved in together, got engaged, and now have the sweetest pup, Otis. We’re beyond thrilled to be a part of their sweet Los Poblanos wedding next year!

James + Alanna, an Enchanting Los Poblanos Engagement

Perhaps one of the most amazing moments of 2021 was when our absolute wedding day ANGEL, Alanna, asked us to photograph her sweet engagement session with her amazing fiancé, James. We met up with these lovebirds at Los Poblanos for the dreamiest, most romantic day.

James and Alanna first met back in 2013 at work and after what they called “the best first date ever”, these two just knew it was meant to be. Now over four years later these two have built the sweetest life together complete with James’ three adorable kids and a whole bunch of amazing little fur babies (or as Alanna likes to call it, a zoo lol). They’ve been engaged for a little over a year and we’re so damn thrilled for them.

And as if we couldn’t be any more obsessed with James and Alanna, these cuties describe their relationship as one filled with love, patience, inspiration, and growth. Alanna loves James’ intelligence, humor, and kindness while James admires Alanna’s compassion and her love for everyone in her life. These two encourage each other to grow and become the best versions of themselves every single day.

James and Alanna are planning on making it official in 2022 with a potential Hawaiian wedding (!!!!!). We’re so very inspired by these amazing souls and can’t freaking wait for them to start the next chapter of their lives together. James and Alanna, we love you guys to the moon and back!!!

xoxo, the ALP team
