On the most serene September day, Jon and Alyssa said “I do” at the ever ethereal Bishop’s Lodge in the heart of Santa Fe. These East Coast angels’ soirée was one of pure beauty, joy, and, of course, love.
Long before they made it official, Jon and Alyssa first met on an auspicious evening in New York City that can only truly be described as fate. Alyssa, who was visiting the city prior to officially moving to NYC, was out with friends at an almost empty bar when she spotted Jon eating dinner and reading a book alone. She approached him and they immediately clicked. Jon and Alyssa connected with each other so well on their first meeting that they spent the very next day at a museum together. Once Alyssa made the move to NYC, the stars aligned for these two to fall effortlessly in love with each other. A few short years later, Jon popped the question on Valentine’s Day (which he knew was a day Alyssa would never suspect) with the NYC skyline as the perfect backdrop and their friends waiting nearby to celebrate with pizza and champagne.
These lovers decided that New Mexico would be the most stunning place for their nuptials and found Bishop’s Lodge, a dreamy venue right off of the Santa Fe Plaza. From there, Jon and Alyssa let the plans for their divine wedding unfold, despite having to work around the pandemic and all of these challenges. When their special day finally arrived, it was truly a celebration that can only be described as charmed from beginning to end. Every last second of Jon and Alyssa’s very first day of marriage had the deepest sense of “je ne se quoi” that we have ever witnessed. Alyssa’s vintage yet elevated bridal look, Floriography’s truly heavenly floral creations, and the pure ambiance of Bishop’s Lodge historic presence came together in perfect harmony for a day that no one in attendance is sure to forget any time soon. Even the quietest moments of these two alone, soaking in their first moments of newlywed bliss, felt like scenes from the most perfectly captured film. And if all of this wasn’t enough, to hear their loved ones toast to them and their love with the highest of praise was truly something beyond words.
These two inspired us in more ways than one, cheers to Alyssa + Jon and what will truly be a love story worthy of the silver screen.
