Pat + Jennifer, a Carefree Downtown Couples Session

We got to tag along with long-time lovers Jennifer and Pat for the most fun little evening around Downtown Albuquerque. These cuties definitely brought all of the romance (and all of their best dance moves) to their darling session.

These angels have been together for a whole decade and have the most beautiful little family together. Pat and Jennifer made it official six years ago and they truly haven’t stopped having fun ever since.

Cheers to the best evenings with the best lovers, so grateful to capture such special humans!

2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.

Cait + Lana, an Evening in the Desert

California cuties Cait and Lana, brought a little extra heat to the desert earlier this fall and we were so freaking excited to capture them and their pups. This dreamy little evening out in one of our squad’s favorite Southwest spots was what we absolutely needed this year.

Originally from the West Coast, these two made a quick stop in New Mexico early this fall and we were so thrilled when they asked us to photograph this gorgeous little session. We can’t wait to see where Lana and Cait end up next, we know it’ll be beyond beautiful and so dang epic.

Tim + Noelle, a Rad Couples Session in the Desert

If you know anything about us, you know that we LOVE hanging with the raddest couples around and we love running around in the desert with them even more. Spending the most perfect evening with Tim and Noelle, the coolest lovers around, was literally how we’d want to spend every single week night forever.

These hot babes have been married for 2 years, but dang do they just give off those madly-in-love feels. They brought their killer style and downright unreal power couple vibes to one of our fave spots, so yeah, we’re just a little obsessed. If you’re looking for married couple inspo, just take a glance at these two because Tim and Noelle only have eyes for each other and wow is it truly captivating to see.

So grateful to have crossed paths with these two for most crazy beautiful session in NM. Hey Tim and Noelle, we’re gonna need to make some more magic with you guys real soon!

Jae + Elicia, a Desert Couples' Session

Outside of our usual engagement sessions and weddings, we have such a soft spot for sweet little couple sessions, especially with pups! Lovers Elicia and Jae brought their sweet fur baby, Fiona, along to their session and we’re so in love.

We kicked off our summer sessions with these babes in the New Mexico foothills at Elena Gallegos Open Space. With perfect weather, the dreamiest golden hour light, and tons of laughs and love, we adored this sweet evening so much!

Shout out to Jae and Elicia, and of course Fiona, for being the raddest little family in all of the Southwest!
