2021, a Year with ALP

After the truly life changing year the was 2020, we knew that this year was going to be incredibly special as the world finally opened back up for big weddings and celebrations of all kinds. Our 2021 couples filled our cups to the brim with the must stunning days that we’ll cherish for seasons to come.

If going back to a full wedding season wasn’t exciting enough for us, we were also beyond lucky to travel to so many gorgeous new locations this year. From the vast wine country of Austin to the dreamy mountains of Taos to the ever mystic Ghost Ranch to all the new little spaces in Santa Fe, our scenery was far from the ordinary. On top of this, so many of our couples were finally able to celebrate with all of their friends and family, an experience that we will never take for granted ever again.

Cheers to all the new adventures with the best couples in the most stellar of places, we can’t wait for all that 2022 is sure to bring our way.

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.

Tom + Justine, an Elegant Santa Fe Wedding

When New York lovers Tom and Justine reached out to us almost two years ago to capture their day, we knew it was going to be one for the books. These two brought all that East Coast glam to the heart of the Southwest and we’re still so incredibly obsessed with it all.

These stunners fell in love after meeting in 2017 and have been together ever since. They’re currently both attorneys and live in New York City with their sweet sweet labradoodle Sam. Before the pandemic, we got to hang out with them for the dreamiest Central Park engagement session we’ve ever seen and we’re still so in love with it.

Even though 2020 forced them to change their wedding date several times, Tom and Justine were still able to do the dang thing this spring at dreamy little La Fonda on the Plaza. Not even crazy weather could keep these sweethearts from saying “I do” surrounded by all of their family and friends. From their soft, yet classic florals to Justine’s beyond elegant bridal look to the most perfect first dance, these two set the bar so high. We adored catching their emotional first look and the most magical post-rain shots right after their ceremony.

Cheers to these stellar newlyweds, every part of their day was beyond unforgettable!
