Natalie + Andrew, a Radiant Texas Maternity Session

Lovers Natalie and Drew invited us back to Texas to capture yet another one of the most amazing chapters of their lives. Spending a golden-hour evening right outside of Austin with these cuties was such a dream and dang did it take maternity sessions to a whole new level.

We first met these babes back in 2021 when we capture their stunning Camp Lucy wedding. Ever since that ethereal spring evening, we’ve been the biggest fans of The Hiseys. On top of having one of the most iconic weddings of all time, we were over the moon when these Texas hunnies were also featured in Brides of Austin.

We already know that Drew and Natalie are going to be the sweetest, most incredible parents of all time, cheers to the most exciting adventure yet babes!

Wedding Inspo - an Unreal San Antonio Wedding

As our busy 2022 year began to slow down, we squeezed in a tiny bit of time to jet off to the Lone Star State early this winter just in time to capture this stunning day by Traveling Weddings by Taylor. Full of old world beauty and modern day touches, this San Antonio afternoon was one we won’t forget any time soon.

From the elegant tablescape to the soft Texas sun to the incredible florals, everything glowed with exceptional beauty. And can we talk about this dreamboat couple? Joe and Cy truly made this day romantic to the next level.

There was something in the air on this day in San Antonio and we definitely caught the fever for it. Here’s to more days in our sister state to the east and all of the beauty it has to offer.

Jordyn + Jay, a Cozy Old Town Farm Wedding

As November rolled in and the chilly Southwestern weather finally came to New Mexico, two high schools sweethearts made it official on one of the most enchanting fall days ever. Jordyn and Jay’s Old Town Farm wedding was truly one beyond belief; this day was filled with the deepest sense of community and unconditional love.

Many moons before saying “ I do”, Jay and Jordyn first met while both were just kids at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque and soon after they fell fully in love with one another. After many years of traveling all over the place, eating the best food, and exploring New Mexico together, these cuties started a family of their own with their sweet daughter, Sophia, and adorable pup, Maeby. While on vacation in San Diego, Jay proposed to Jordyn on the beach with the most stunning pearl engagement ring of all time (and Jordyn, of course, said yes!).

These hunnies knew that having their wedding in their hometown was incredibly important and once they discovered quaint little Old Town Farm, they knew they wanted a cozy, yet romantic affair right near the heart of the city. Jordyn and Jay included a lot of utterly beautiful details, like that dreamy bridal gown and unreal bouquet, but perhaps the most special aspect was the way these two included their talented friends and family in the creation aspect of their wedding: from their cake to their music to their officiant. Jay and Jordyn’s day was one filled to the brim with an unparalleled amount of joy and love, both between these cuties and with all of their guests. From soaking in the golden hour as newlyweds to dancing the night away with loved ones, Jordyn and Jay made sure that their wedding was the most unforgettable evening of all.

Cheers to married life angels, we already know you’ll bring even more brilliance into the world around you!

Emily + Adam, a Vibrant Downtown Anniversary Session

A whole year after saying “I do”, Emily and Adam spent an evening with us in ever-eclectic downtown Albuquerque for some of the most dreamy anniversary portraits of all time. This sweet little winter evening was truly the highlight of our quiet December.

Even though we didn’t get to spend more than a few hours with them, we were still head-over-heels for these lovebirds and their incredibly palpable connection. Adam and Emily kept the evening light with lots of laughs, but still utterly romantic. And we adored the way these lovers were down for everything! From discovering all the amazing murals to visiting an iconic theater to ending the whole session at a cozy coffee shop, Adam and Emily took us on the most spontaneous little outing.

We adore anniversary sessions and adore them even more when they include couples who we’re immediately smitten with. Cheers to many more years of adventure and love cuties!

Just before the chilly weather took hold of the Southwest, we slipped off for a few short days in our beloved San Antonio and it was a dream come true.

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!

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

David + Kelly, a Dreamy Santa Fe Engagement

Even though these Texas cuties are tying the knot in Charleston, South Carolina, they spent the prettiest evening with us in the heart of downtown Santa Fe. We loved exploring some of our favorite old locations with these babes.

David and Kelly met in 2020 on Hinge right in the middle of Covid and they just knew it was meant to be. These hunnies bonded over their mutual loves of cooking, listening to music, and of course planning trips around the world. David and Kelly are going to make it official with a small, yet so freaking special wedding with only their closest friends and family this November and we couldn’t be more excited for them.
