Wedding Inspo - Elevated Hotel Weddings

While we love all of the unique wedding venues we’ve been lucky enough to experience, there’s something so dang stunning about a classic hotel wedding.

Whether weddings take place at quaint, dreamy inns or at historic, elegant estates, hotel weddings truly come in all shapes and sizes. We love the way that hotel weddings can keep all of the festivities in one location and still make celebrations feel otherworldly.

Jessa + Matthew, a Sublime Bishop's Lodge Wedding

Upon returning to one of the most heavenly places in New Mexico, Bishop’s Lodge, we felt so lucky to capture the most serene July days with lovers Jessa and Matthew. This elegant, yet modern affair was truly a show-stopper from beginning to end.

These little angels first crossed paths back in 2018 and immediately bonded over their love for animals, breweries, and careers in the medical field. Five years after building their sweet life together in New Mexico (along with their fur babies) Matthew proposed to Jessa during their hike to Nambe Lake in Santa Fe.

Knowing that they wanted their nuptials to be filled with refined, yet unique touches Matthew and Jessa almost instantly decided that Bishop’s Lodge would be the most incredible setting to make their love official. Alongside side soft florals, divine bridal style, and stellar views, these sweethearts finally said “ I do”. Following their dreamy ceremony Jessa and Matthew treated their guests to a sophisticated garden cocktail hour and endlessly fun reception.

We know that Matthew and Jessa are off to have the most incredibly life together, cheers to Los Lovatos!

Bridal Inspo - Strapless Wedding Gowns

A true bridal classic we see season after season, strapless wedding gowns are both elegant and just a tiny bit flirty. From the constructed couture variety to the plush blush styles to even the most gorgeous hand painted ones, strapless wedding gowns are definitely the perfect canvas for any bride to find her own unique style in for her big day!

One of the most special aspects of strapless wedding gowns is that the silhouette can still come in a multitude of styles. From sleek curve hugging gowns to ballgown inspired dresses to even the slightest mermaid bridal train, strapless gowns are each incredibly individual and downright beautiful!

We’re so excited to see what new designs and inspirations future strapless gowns will take on and we can’t wait to capture all of them!!!
