Andrew + Natalie, a Camp Lucy Engagement
Last month we took a quick, but safe, trip to Texas for the prettiest prelude to fall with Andrew and Natalie’s engagement session at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs, Texas.
Spending a gorgeous evening with these Texas lovers was exactly what we needed to brighten our spirits, we adored how much Andrew and Natalie love each other (they just gush those forever-in-love type of vibes). We’re so incredibly excited to return to this stunner of a venue in 2021 to get these babes married already!
Cheers to all the couples celebrating engagements during this uncertain time, we so love being able to capture all the little moments of joy through it all.

Evan + Jocelyn, a Heavenly New Mexico Engagement
Even though its not quite the new year yet, we’re already head over heels in love with our stunning 2020 couples. Last month we spent a few hours at the absolutely unreal White Mesa with LA lovers Evan and Jocelyn. These babes set the bar soooo freaking high for our latest round of engagement sessions, its not hard to see why we’re obsessed with them!
These lovers met over four years ago while Jocelyn was attending grad school in Las Vegas and Evan was living in Los Angeles. Over one MLK weekend, Jocelyn decided to fly out to Los Angeles to see Van Morrison with some of her friends. While in the City of Angels, Jocelyn met Evan through mutual friends and his first move on her was offering a tequila shot at 4 p.m. These two ended up hitting it off and spent all day and night talking about everything and anything. Jocelyn, thinking that she probably wouldn’t see Evan again, hit him with the old “see you never” and headed back to Vegas. However, two weeks later Evan traveled to Vegas to take Jocelyn on a real first date and after graduation, Jocelyn moved to LA.
Besides being super sweet, down-to-earth babes, the love these two have for each other is beyond this world. For Jocelyn, Evan’s kindness, intelligence, and support makes her world go round. And for Evan, Jocelyn radiates beauty inside and out, she’s the one he can’t wait to explore the world with forever! (Brb, crying over these two).
These hotties are gonna raise the temperature this summer at Los Poblanos with a modern, romantic, bohemian wedding. And with families from both New Mexico and California, we know this day is gonna be killer!
Hey Evan and Jocelyn, is it July yet? We can’t wait to celebrate your love!!!!

Drew + Lauren, a New Mexico Engagement
Drew and Lauren’s story started on a little dating app called Bumble where these lovers immediately hit it off with their mutual love of football, similar tastes in music, fitness classes, and being low-key nerds! They adore adventuring together and can’t wait to raise a family (and a puppy!) together. We are sooo hyped for Drew and Lauren’s La Mesita Ranch wedding next fall!

Jake + Angela, an Albuquerque Engagement
Jake and Angela’s sweet little love story began back in 2012, the old fashioned way: they met at a bar (Jake was celebrating a promotion at work and Angela was celebrating her Masters degree). After an entire night of dancing, these babes pretty much never left each other’s lives. Fast forward a few years later, two precious daughters and three dogs together, Jake and Angela are ready to make their happily ever official with a major celebration next fall at Sandia’s Golf Club with a non-tradional, laid back wedding (with a few Star Wars details here and there). Cheers to these babes, can it be 2019 already?!
