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!

If you know our team, you know that wedding cakes hold such a big space in our hearts. Truth be told, we’re downright obsessed with seeing how our couples bring together their unique style with this traditional staple.
Each and every season brings out new cake trends as well as the classic styles we’ve come to absolutely adore over the years. We’ve been crushing so dang hard on all of the funky shag rug cakes, incredible heart-shaped beauties, and those pressed flower darlings, but we’re also major fans of those ever-so-stunning buttercream floral cakes that compliment literally any wedding out there. And the best of all is when we get to witness a perfect blend of a tried and true trend with something brand new (peep that floral cake adorned with custom made jewelry shapes below!).
We’re so dang ready to kick off our 2022 season and see all of those deliciously divine creations every single weekend, bring on all the sugar-coated goodness!

Garrett + Kyla, a Captivating Desert Engagement
On the dreamiest June evening we got to hang out with longtime sweethearts Garrett and Kyla at one of our favorite little spots in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. These cuties were seriously everything and more.
Besides this engagement being one of the dreamiest, were were so excited to get a quiet evening alone with Garrett and Kyla during their wedding week. They made it official with an incredibly romantic, super colorful celebration at Four Seasons Santa Fe.
