If there’s one thing we’re certain of when it comes to wedding days its that our brides will always bring the most stunning wedding day looks. We’re truly obsessed with all of the details our angels wear, but there’s something a little extra special about a pair of showstopping wedding day shoes.
Whether they’re dainty heels or unique cowboy boots, we’ve seen some of the dreamiest shoes around. Being able to capture just one more aspect of each and every bride’s personality is something we truly can’t get enough of.
We’re sure that our 2023 brides will show off some heavenly looks and we can’t freaking wait to see it all!

Kenny + Molly, a Dazzling La Posada de Santa Fe Wedding
Los Angeles babes Kenny and Molly had the most wildly beautiful wedding in Santa Fe last fall, but we’ve gotten to celebrate with these cuties a handful of times before their special day. These sweethearts brought all the romance and all the incredibly fun details to the most unforgettable day around.
Kenny and Molly first met many moons ago in Colorado through work and after about a year of long-distance love, Molly made the move to Los Angeles, where Kenny was living, and these two have been an absolutely inseparable power couple ever since. A few years down the road, they added their sweet fur baby, Mika, to their family and have been traveling all over the world together ever since.
Even though these two initially celebrate their marriage back in 2020 with a tiny gathering at a family property, we’ve been lucky enough to know them since way back in 2018 when we first met them while capturing one of their best friends’ wedding! Since then, Molly has become one of our Instagram besties and we just knew that hers and Kenny’s wedding was going to be a show stopper. From their chic, yet extremely cool wedding style (just peep those matching sneakers) to the invitation suite that Kenny himself designed to their gorgeous al fresco reception to having not just ping pong, but a Mrs Pac Man arcade game for their guests, Molly and Kenny sure as heck showed us how to PARTY.
We’re deeply obsessed with these lovers and all the light they bring to the world, cheers to the Barela Wedding Party!!!

Vendor Feature - Bagels' Florals
Each wedding season we’re lucky enough to work with a vast amount of talented wedding vendors and creatives, but we’ve felt extremely grateful to have crossed paths with Abigail of Bagels’ Florals just two short years ago. Not only is this amazing florist beyond her years in talent, she’s one of the brightest, most inspirational souls we know. We knew that we couldn’t let 2020 end without featuring her ethereal, colorful and exquisite work.
We are always beyond excited for every single celebration we get to capture that features Bagels’ work. A true artist at heart, every single bouquet, boutonnière, installment, and arrangement she creates is done with care, intention, and a passion to make the world a brighter place. We were especially honored to capture Bagels’ first two bouquet wedding ( a very special moment for her, an LGBTQ florist) this year for our lovers Brittany + Angie and she did a tremendously gorgeous job (we’re honestly still obsessed with her creations from that sweet little backyard wedding).
Beyond simply being an incredibly gifted florist and gardener, Bagels is also a major community leader in the New Mexico wedding industry. She consistently uses her platform to speak up for social change and action, inspiring other vendors and community members (especially us!) to do the same. We’re consistently blown away by how much love and passion Bagels holds for making New Mexico, and truthfully this world, a more compassionate accepting place for everyone.
We feel so increasingly fortunate to even know someone as talented, smart, and driven as Bagels and we know that everyone will continued to be inspired by this amazing human being.

Venue Feature - Hacienda Doña Andrea de Santa Fe
Hidden high up in the mountains of Madrid, New Mexico with only a short drive to Santa Fe, Hacienda Doña Andrea de Santa Fe is quickly becoming a new favorite gem for local and destination couples. We first shot at this quirky, yet totally magical spot last spring with Brooklyn lovers Ethan and Sarah and couldn’t help but adore its unique, colorful accents set against its traditional Southwestern adobe building. Since then, we’ve captured two more sweet couples, Chris + Emma last fall and Geoff+ Jocelyn this summer, at this special little hacienda and ALWAYS notice something new about it. Whether its finding a hidden hallway to capture a few quick romantics in or taking a ton of detail shots of all of this property’s insane art, Hacienda Doña Andrea never fails to surprise us with its interesting beauty and personality. We’ll be back next season and we can’t wait to see what we discover at this amazing little venue.
