Santa Fe angels Keith and Shannez tied the knot on a beautiful, crisp October day high above The City Different. This laid back pair took a fun-loving approach to their day from start to finish, allowing for joy to take center stage throughout their celerbration. Shannez and Keith held an intentional, loving approach to their wedding and it was truly a sight to behold.
For their big day, Keith and Shannez were wed at Four Seasons of Santa Fe which made for the most enchanting, mountain view-filled backdrop. These lovlies added the right amount of modern, yet completely unique touches to their day, making it one that truly shone so dang bright. The bride’s exquisite gown was a modern, yet timeless work of art by the amazing Naeem Khan paired perfectly with heels by Maison Alaia. And if Shannez’s divine bridal style wasn’t enough, Keith surprised his bride with a colorful headband from Gucci (a designer they both love), reflecting their shared energy as a couple in the sweetest way. To set the stage perfectly, Artichokes and Pomegranates provided vibrant, stunning arrangements complete with a show-stopping floral arch, giving the ceremony space a most warm and inviting vibe. Following their emotional first look, these angels exchanged vows amid the glowing autumn sunlight surrounded by all of their dearest friends and family memebers.
In a homage to their first date on the fourth of July, these hunnies not only recessed to a string quartet playing “Firework” by Katy Perry at the end of their ceremony, but they even had a signature drink to commemorate the night their lives changed forever.. After soaking in cocktail with all of their guests and sneaking off for some of the most vivacious sunset romantics, Shannez made a wardrobe change into a dazzling golden dress that made her shine a little extra on the dance floor.
We absolutely adored seeing these sweethearts say “I do” on such a perfectly charming fall day in the Southwest. Cheers to forever babes, we know it’ll be the best party of all time!
