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.

Wedding Inspo - Winter Weddings + Elopements

The temperature might be getting more and more chilly, but we know that winter weddings and elopements always bring the heat. Even though we don’t capture a ton of cold weather celebrations, the ones that we get to be a part of are so incredibly divine.

Winter nuptials are not only insanely beautiful, they’re also deeply serene. From the cozy, romantic little moments to the way this time of year just ushers in those quiet, intimate gatherings, weddings in the coldest part of the year are beyond enchanting.

Keeping our fingers crossed for even more of these magical days in the future, we’re forever in love with celebrations of love in the middle of winter.

Michael + Anna, a Moody Winter Elopement at The Seraphim House New Orleans

This November would took a quick trip down south to New Orleans for a few days of absolute HEAVEN. We were treated to the most divine winter styled elopement at The Seraphim House and dang was it everything we could’ve wish for and more.

On this insanely pretty day in The Big Easy, we were treated to a true feast for the eyes at the beautiful, historic Seraphim House. This tiny gem of a venue was first built in the 1860’s and after being restored from 2012 to 2015, Seraphim House is now more stunning than ever. For this incredible day, our sweet friend Taylor of Traveling Weddings with Taylor put together a styled elopement beyond our wildest dreams. Stunning bride Anna wore the most gorgeous Rita Vinieris gown while her groom Michael complemented her angelic look perfectly with a red, velvet tux from Don Morphy. For the the most divine florals, Louisiana florist Violetta’s created not only the perfect moody bouquet, but also a beyond epic indoor floral arch. To top it off, Papier Handmade came through with a romantic hand-lettering adorned invitation suite.

This dreamy afternoon in Nola sparked our imaginations for all the moody, fairytale inspired nuptials. We’re here for all those stunning fantasy celebrations!!!
