Timothy + Alexandra, a Fairytale Four Seasons Santa Fe Wedding

Dallas angels Alexandra and Timothy celebrated their love and commitment to each other in the most beautiful of ways this fall. These babes shared the most dreamy Santa Fe day with all of their loved ones and it was beyond our wildest dreams.

These sweethearts first met in the middle of Covid when Alexandra, who was based in New York City, was living in Texas during the pandemic. After their intial meeting, these two knew that their connection was something beyond the ordinary and in 2022, Alexandra permanently relocated to The Lone Star state to start a new chapter with Timothy. When he proposed, Timothy surprised Alexandra by waiting until several days after and then popping the question at their home with thonly their two pups to witness it.

When Alexandra and Timothy decided that Santa Fe would be the perfect place to begin their married life, they knew that Four Seasons Santa Fe would provide the most stunning of backdrops for their love. From soft floral details to a moving ceremony to an all night dance party, this day was nothing short of show-stopping. We loved seeing these two take in all of the love and joy their day brought and finally get to party as husband and wife.

Cheers to these babes and to finding your happily ever after no matter what happens along the way!

Bailey + Andres, a Heavenly Four Seasons Santa Fe Wedding

After an entire decade of being head over heels for each other, Andres and Bailey finally made their love just a little bit more official with a dreamy, late summer wedding high up above Santa Fe. This stunning day in the middle of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains was one for the ages.

Bailey and Andres first met way back in high school and both had an instant connection with one another. After years of falling more and more in love, surviving long-distance, and finally ending up back in their hometown of Albuquerque, these lovers knew they were destined to be together. In the summer of 2021, Andres proposed and Bailey, of course, said yes.

These hunnies knew that a celebration in Santa Fe would be absolutely unparalleled, so they decided to bring together all of their loved ones for an unforgettable day at Four Seasons Santa Fe. Despite a late August rain storm, the sun came out for these babes just in time for them to say “I do”. Bailey and Andres made their day even more special with private vows, tons of pre-wedding moments with their crew, and overcast romantics that we’ll be daydreaming about forever.

The Riveras have already inspired us so dang much, we can’t wait to see where life takes these sweethearts next!!

Alexandra + Timothy, a Dreamy Santa Fe Engagement

Dallas babes Timothy and Alexandra are getting hitched this fall in Santa Fe and we already know that it’s going to be the most stunning. We spent a dreamy evening with them at their future wedding venue, Four Seasons Santa Fe, and it was truly unforgettable.

Alexandra and Timothy first met through mutual friends in early 2020 and despite a global pandemic, these two became inseparable. Over the past few years together, these lovers have grown closer and closer through their mutual loves for food, traveling, and their sweet pups Bernie and Yogi. Nearly two years after their initial spark, Timothy proposed to Alexandra by surprising her in their apartment two days after her birthday and they celebrated with a night out on the town.

These cuties are making it official with a serene fall wedding at Four Seasons Santa Fe and let’s just say that we’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of all the beauty!

Wedding Inspo - Wedding Party Style

Even though we’ve seen more and more nuptials without wedding parties, this long-standing tradition is still going strong (and now in more fashionable ways than ever before). Our couples’ squads always know just how to bring the heat on wedding days from start to finish.

One wedding party trend we’ve become absolutely enamored with over the past few seasons is mix and match dresses and suits. Couples that give their closest friends the opportunity to bring their own personal styles to the sleekest wedding color palates definitely take the overall tone of their days to the next freaking level. And even though we’ve witnessed all matching wedding parties for years, there’s still something enchanting about seeing everyone dresses up to the nines in a couple’s favorite colors.

Wedding parties might be changing, but they’re certainly not disappearing anytime soon so here’s all of our favorite styles from some of the most divine days of all!

Wedding Inspo - Bow Down to the Gown

There are so many dreamy details that go into a couple’s day to make it special so it’s no surprise that we want to highlight one that deserves a moment: wedding gowns. Our brides have donned some show stopping stunners from classic, brocade ballgowns to chic, sheath silhouettes and we are here for all of it!

Our hope is that all brides find their perfect dress, one that makes them feel like a true expression of themselves for their big day. With seemingly endless options of necklines, lengths, and fabric it is such an exciting moment to say ‘yes’ to the dress. And lucky us, we get to capture every detail. From hanging and waiting to be worn to our brides stepping into it and twirling the night away, there is room for every style in our hearts and lenses.

We are swooning over how these brides rocked their dresses. It’s giving queen energy and we bow down to the gown.

Alex + Blakely, a Mesmerizing Four Seasons Wedding

Long-time lovies Alex and Blakely have always had a massive crush on Santa Fe, so when it came time to make their love official, they knew that The City Different would be absolute perfection. These two brought all of the romance and beauty to one of the most enchanting locations ever.

Even though these two have been together for many years, their sweet story began in a most unconventional way: bonding over a shared love for pizza. Blakely and Alex met through mutual friends when they were both seniors in high school and one of the first times they ever interacted involved Alex sharing the very last slice of pizza with Blakely at a birthday dinner. From that moment on, these two hunnies became inseparable and quickly fell deeply in love with one another. A few years down the road, Alex proposed to Blakely in Breckenridge at one of their favorite little locations.

This September, these cuties dreamed up the most stunning day at Four Seasons Santa Fe and dang was it a sight to behold. Blakely’s divine bridal style (just look at that iconic Galia Lahav gown), boho-chic florals by Floral Elegance, and little hints of turquoise throughout their details made this day special beyond compare. We loved getting to sneak away with Alex and Blakely after their ceremony for a few blissful moments in the most heavenly Southwest light and then partying the night away with them surrounded by all of their friends and family.

We’re over the moon for these two, their love, and every single piece of their incredible day. Newlywed life looks so good on you angels, cheers to all of the adventures ahead!
