Aspen + Kameron, a Unreal Golden Hour Engagement

Sweet hunnies Kameron and Aspen made us fall even more with late season engagements with their dreamy little desert evening. These cuties are making it official next year, but they celebrated their newly minted fiancé status with the best golden hour session ever.

These cuties first met in 2017, but sparks didn’t officially fly until 2019 when Aspen and Kameron were both in the wedding of some of their mutual friends. Years later these lovers finally have a home and handful of sweet fur babies together and are building up their perfect little life together. Earlier this year Kameron proposed at a Luke Combs concert in Kansas City and Aspen, who was completely surprised by this sweet ordeal, said yes immediately!

We can’t freaking wait for their elegant wedding next year in Santa Fe, we know it’ll be a showstopper!

Andrew + Deanna, a Stellar Hotel Andaluz Wedding Reception

Even though Andrew and Deanna officially tied the knot in 2020, they finally got to party with all of their loved ones last fall and it was the sweetest fall evening. This downtown celebration was such a special, beautiful day to capture.

These lovers initially held their wedding in fall of 2020 with a beautiful Catholic church ceremony, the dreamiest golden hour romantic,s and then an intimate reception with a tiny group of their closest friends and family members. Flash forward a year later and these babes finally got to hold the amazing wedding bash that they had always dreamed of. Deanna and Andrew incorporated so many of their original wedding details and personal touches into their reception and we truly loved every piece of it. From Deanna’s tiny bridal heirlooms to Floral Fetish’s gorgeous creations to Darling Details’ impeccable reception design, this October day was just as special as the first time we got to see these lovebirds say “I do”.

We can’t wait to see Andrew and Deanna’s love story continue to grow over the years to come, thank you for bringing us along on your little adventure angels!!

Ethan + Leila, a Gorgeous Hacienda Doña Andrea Wedding

Ethan and Leila made it official this past fall with the most gorgeous day just outside of Santa Fe. These East Coast babes’ love story was a decade long in the making and dang was it the most perfect beginning to their new chapter.

Leila and Ethan first met over 11 years ago in Seattle when they were both working at Club Monaco. Leila, who was in training, noticed Ethan looking at her and he immediately broke the ice by trying on a fur hat and asking for her opinion on it (they’ve been together ever since this cute little interaction!). Flash forward about 10 years to a trip back to Seattle after moving to the East Coast and these hunnies got engaged! Ethan proposed to Leila on the very same bench in Madison Park where they both realized they were in love with each other so many years ago (talk about the most cinematic full circle moment of all time).

These lovers knew that the Southwest was the most divine place to make it official and dreamed up the most stunning day at Hacienda Doña Andrea. Along with their tiny baby Quinn, Ethan and Leila held one of the most beautiful fall celebrations we’ve ever seen. From Leila’s bold, yet soft bridal glam by the Betty Rose and A. Salon teams to the incomparable floral design by Floral Fetish to the most perfect rooftop views, this day was everything and then some.

Give us all the epic, romantic, and downright breathtaking wedding days, we’re so beyond obsessed!

Wedding Inspo - a Heavenly New Mexico Desert Elopement

Last season we finished off one of the prettiest years yet with a beyond dreamy evening way out west in the middle of the desert. This little styled elopement had all of the soft Southwestern touches we love with a touch of whimsical beauty.

We met up with real-life lovers Dillon and Jordan and our creative angel, Alanna Garcia, to bring this oh-so-special evening to life. This shoot had all the things we love: boho-chic wedding style, divine florals, unreal bridal glam, and a killer view. After wandering around in the desert, we topped off the day with a few shots of the epic Sandia mountains as the perfect backdrop.

Being able to dream up the prettiest evenings and roam around some of our favorite places definitely keep of hearts so dang full. Cheers to more wildly beautiful New Mexico evenings.

Breck + Avery, a Surprise Winter Proposal at Ski Santa Fe

Texas cuties Breck and Avery traveled to Santa Fe for a little ski trip this winter, but little did sweet Avery know that Breck was going to pop the question. This snowy day was by far one of the most stunning surprise proposals of all.

If there’s one thing we love, its a surprise proposal and a proposal in the snow is truly a little slice of heaven. This March, we journeyed up into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to Ski Santa Fe for Breck and Avery’s beyond beautiful new chapter together. After Breck proposed and Avery said yes (!!!!!!!), these hunnies popped champagne with their closest friends and family for one of the best après-ski moments ever. We even got to steal these cuties away for a few sweet romantics in the woods before they shredded the slopes for the first time as a newly engaged couple.

Bring on all the incredible surprise proposals in the most enchanting locations, we’re so down for all the romance and all the adventure!
