Sean + Kristina, a Whimsical Austin Wedding

In the calm before our incredibly busy wedding season, our team got to capture the dreamiest late April day right outside of Austin. Sean and Kristina’s soirée was truly the perfect prelude to one of our dreamiest springs so far.

These sweet Texas hunnies decided to make it official at one of our favorite hidden gems of Texas Hill Country, the ever quaint Camp Lucy. Surrounded by their venue’s lush gardens and all of their loved ones, Sean and Kristina vowed their love to one another and then proceeded to have the absolute PARTY of the century. From their boldly beautiful floral arch (that we’re still drooling over) to their whimsical details (just look at those gorgeous invites) to the mostly elegantly angelic bridal look (Kristina had everyone in awe over her gown) this little spring daydream was just what we needed to usher in all the warm weather nuptials. And if you weren’t deeply entranced by all of the stunning romantics these babes took with us, their final private dance together at the end of the night is sure to seal the deal (not to mention that killer vintage getaway car!).

Bring on all the enchanting weddings in all of our favorite places both near and far, we’re wildly enthralled with them today and always!!!

Drew + Becky, a Moody El Malpais National Monument Elopement

Pennsylvania lovers Drew and Becky made the trek out west for a quiet elopement in the middle of the desert. We were so excited to be a part of this moody, beautiful elopement at El Malpais National Monument.

These sweethearts first met over 20 years ago in 1998 at just 12 years old when they were neighbors and although they never had an official l first date or anniversary, Becky and Drew were always meant to be. They got engaged in 2016 while visiting Glacier National Park in Montana and decided that they wanted to seal the deal at a National Park somewhere in the West. After a ton of research, these babes chose New Mexico as the backdrop for their new chapter and were married at El Malpais National Monument with a quiet elopement ceremony. Besides their officiant ( who is a National Park ranger!) and us, there wasn’t a single soul present for this serene October day, and truthfully that made it even more meaningful.

We’ll forever adore the couples who make their weddings intentional and true to their love, cheers to Drew + Becky’s love story.

Wedding Inspo - a Gorgeous New Orleans Wedding at Race and Religious

The past few seasons we’ve been lucky enough to travel to some pretty stunning locations, but in late 2021 we got to go to a city that might just take the cake, New Orleans. We traveled down south for a couple of the dreamiest days we’ve ever witnessed and dang are we smitten with it all.

The Big Easy is legendary for its history, its beauty, and (of course) its parties. We spent a day at the iconic Garden District venue, Race and Religious, with some of the most divine people and details. The unreal Clem and Jamie graced the front of our cameras and never have we ever had so much fun with such hotties. We loved capturing these two grooving in the second line parade, sneaking away to the all little romantic corners, and taking a literal plunge into the pool at the end of the day.

Amid all of this excitement, there were also so many gorgeous little details sprinkled into this vision of a day. The lush, ethereal florals by Violetta’s, angelic bridal gown by Gossamer, and dainty headpiece by The Lucky Sixpence were truly only the beginning of this Nola fairytale.

We’ll forever be head-over-heels for this stunning November day, here’s the manifesting even more incredible New Orleans weddings in the years to come!!

Will + Lindsay, an Intimate Pecos Historic Site Wedding

Whenever we get to capture a love story at a National Park, we know its going to be an absolutely stunning affair. Will and Lindsay tied the knot at Pecos National Historical Site after 8 whole years together and it was truly a magical afternoon.

These lovers aren’t originally from New Mexico, but they have always been drawn to The Land of Enchantment. Lindsay and Will first met right after college when they both moved to Albuquerque and ended up being roommates. They soon after fell for each other and continued date long-distance for 5 years during grad school in California. After graduation, Lindsay and Will knew that they wanted to call the Southwest home and moved back to New Mexico to start their next chapter together.

Will and Lindsay held an intimate, minimalist wedding in Pecos with only 15 guests on the most beautiful September day. After the most heartfelt vows, these two wandered around the desert for the dreamiest portraits amid the moody mid-day New Mexico skies. We adored the beauty and simplicity of their day, from gorgeous florals from La Flora Floristry to elegantly-modern bridal glam by the Betty Rose team.

Will and Lindsay’s tiny day was truly one we treasured and dream of day after day, cheers to newlywed life angels!

Taylor + Eliza, an Serene Old Town Engagement

When we first met California babes Eliza and Taylor, we just knew they are some of the most amazing humans around. We spent the most incredible evening exploring Old Town Albuquerque with these hunnies and, dang, was it one of our favorite evenings so far this year!

Taylor and Eliza first met seven years ago through the dating app Hinge and it was truly meant to be from the start (even though ever-punctual Taylor was a whole 15 minutes late to their first date!!). They instantly fell into the perfect groove with one another and years later they consistently hold space in their relationship for empathy, communication, and (most importantly) humor! These babes currently live near Los Angeles with their sweet schnauzer-poodle-terrier mix, Hamish.

We’re counting down the days until Taylor and Eliza say “I do” this April at La Fonda on the Plaza with some of our favorite vendor friends. Cheers to what will surely be one of the best celebrations of the year!!

Mani + Liz, a Lighthearted Fall Engagement

When we first met sweet Mani and Liz, we knew instantly that these lovers are two truly amazing humans. We loved spending the dreamiest fall evening with them, adventuring along the stunning Bosque and ending the evening with drinks at Ex Novo Brewing in the heart of Corrales.

These sweethearts first met six years ago at work and eventually Mani swept Liz off of her feet after about four years of knowing one another. Mani and Liz spend lots of quality time together doing their favorite things: from cooking to exploring to dreaming about their future. Their house is filled with love in the form of two dogs, two cats, and Mani’s wonderful sons.

We can’t wait for Mani + Liz’s jazz inspired wedding this April at Casa Rondeña Winery, bring on all the drinks and all the love!!

Curtis + Elena, a Stellar Colorado Engagement

Longtime lovers Curtis and Elena might be from New Mexico, but they invited us up to our sister state Colorado for their super gorgeous engagement session in Loveland Pass. These angels truly made this dreamy October day even more stunning.

These babes first met over 15 years ago while both attending high school in Las Cruces, NM. They officially became friends two years later while on a band trip and eventually their friendship blossomed into love. Even though they separated for a short time when Curtis moved to Albuquerque to pursue a degree at The University of New Mexico, they soon reunited when Elena also made the move up north and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Soon after graduating from UNM, these cuties moved to Denver where Elena is completing her residency at The University of Colorado and Curtis is working as a city planner. They love cooking, exploring colorful Colorado, and hanging out with their fur baby Hugo!

Curtis and Elena are going to make it official this September with a Southwestern inspired day at La Fonda on the Plaza and we just know its going to be as remarkable as they are. Cheers to over a decade of love cuties!

Solve + Alex, a Festive Wedding at La Mesita Ranch

In the middle of this warm, yet gorgeous summer, Solve and Alex invited us to capture their dreamy nuptials in northern New Mexico. These lovebirds colorful day at La Mesita Ranch is one that we’ll truly remember forever.

This stunner of a wedding started way out west at La Mesita Ranch, a property tucked away near Nambe Falls and known for its breathtaking views and unique touches. With a little bit of magic from the Just Lovely Weddings team and the floral goddesses at Manmade and Sage, the details from this day were truly unmatched. Our dream bride Alex combined the best of classic wedding glam with boho details through her chic wedding gown from Ann Matthews Bridal and her stunning glam by Betty Rose by Alanna while Solve looked extra sleek in an all black tux.

For their stellar ceremony, these cuties included a larger than life floral arch filled with the most unique florals and the sweetest little petal toss. And to top it all off, Alex and Solve’s reception had so much damn beauty. From the incredible lounges by Darling Details to the divine table settings to the most out-of-this-world music by local band Le Chat Lunatique, this July day was perfection to the next level. If all of those touches weren’t enough, we were blown away by these lovers romantic first dance and surprise tambourine party with all of their guests on the dance floor.

We’ll forever be obsessed with the way Alex and Solve brought together all of their loved ones for the most killer summer party, cheers to newlywed life babes!!!

Texas sweethearts Kevin and Caroline brought the absolute party to Santa Fe this summer and it was truly beyond our dreams. Every last detail of this gorgeous day was not only unique, but so dang perfect.

These cuties first met a long time ago in high school, but sparks didn’t fly between Kevin and Caroline until one college break when they were both home with mutual friends. Even thought they started off as best friends, once these two realized how special their connection was, they quickly fell in love. In 2019, Kevin completely surprised Caroline and popped the question surrounded by their close friends and family.

Since these two call Midland, TX home, Caroline and Kevin wanted to have their wedding in a city that gave them that small town feel and Santa Fe was perfect.

These hunnies bonded over their mutual loves of cooking, listening to music, and of course planning trips around the world.

Andrew + Natalie, a Camp Lucy Wedding

Even though Andrew and Natalie only recently said “I do” this spring, their journey together over the past few years has been nothing short of incredibly sweet and inspiring.

Long before these Texas hunnies made it last name official, they met through two mutual friends in Albuquerque. Natalie and Andrew first hit it off during a casual dinner with their friends Austin and Taylor (aka two of the best matchmakers around), but even though Natalie thought Andrew was handsome, she initially turned him down for a follow up date. However, Andrew’s persistence paid off when he asked Natalie out a second time and she said yes. They grabbed beers together, exchanged life stories, and realized that they had a special connection.

About four years later while living in Texas, Andrew knew that he wanted to propose, but the universe had other plans. In early 2019, Andrew was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had to put off his initial proposal. After a successful fight, Andrew recovered fully and made plans to propose to Natalie on New Year’s Eve in Austin. However, once again, the universe intervened, but this time Natalie was sick that evening so Andrew once again pushed back his plans. Finally, in January of 2020, Andrew proposed in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country house he and Natalie were building for their next chapter together.

After 2020 threw even more curveballs, these sweethearts were finally able to do the dang thing in pretty little Dripping Springs, TX on the most gorgeous April day. From the most delicate bridal details to lush, springtime florals, to dreamy reception details (just peep that champagne trolley AND stunning neon signage) to spending so much time in that divine golden hour light for romantics, Andrew and Natalie made sure their day was beyond perfect and utterly enchanting. We adored every last second of this unreal Texas Hill Country day with these soulmates and were so honored to be a tiny part of their remarkable journey together.

Cheers to finding a love that endures all obstacles and to embracing every single step of life, we you love so much Mr. + Mrs. Hisey!!!!

Over the past few seasons a newer trend, that we think is here to stay (!), has become a favorite for so many of our couples. Boho chic weddings and elopements bring together maximalist wedding vibes with unique details for some of the most wildly gorgeous days we’ve ever encountered.

Pampas grass, neon signage, hand-stitched wedding gowns, and that carefree-kind-of-love bring these stellar celebrations together. We adore how boho chic weddings can happen anywhere, whether its on a ranch in Texas Hill Country, in a tiny backyard in Albuquerque, or even at a luxury hotel in Santa Fe. These magnificent days have become a staple for so many of our couples and we are so dang here for it.

We’re so here for all of the larger-than-life, incredibly beautiful boho celebrations this year and beyond, bring on allllll the pretty!!!

Stuart + Kelly, a Divine Texas Wedding at Camp Hideaway

Last year may have been one with an unbelievable amount of twists and turns, but dang were we grateful that 2020 brought us Stuart and Kelly. Besides being two of the most resilient, wonderful people around, these two knew how to throw the ultimate party to make it official for the third (!!!!!) time last December and we loved being a part of their journey towards tying the knot surrounded by their friends and family.

You might remember these Texas lovers from their dreamy Los Poblanos Elopement last June, but you may not know that these two had actually already made it official with an informal, courthouse ceremony in Odessa, Texas. Soon after, they journeyed to New Mexico for an intimate wedding with only their parents and three close friends at Los Poblanos and let’s just say it was one of our favorite days. We instantly became BFFs with Kelly (and Stuart too!) and got to capture some of the prettiest romantics around our beloved Los Poblanos. However, after life forced these two to once again reshuffle their wedding plans, they invited us Fredericksburg, Texas (aka gorgeous Texas Hill Country) for a December bash we’ll never forget.

Despite it being winter, we couldn’t have asked for a better days for Stuart and Kelly to say “I do” for the third time at beautiful Camp Hideaway. With Kelly’s impeccable eye for design and styling, this December day was filled with some of the most divine details around, from the moody, yet Southwestern inspired color palette of our dreams to the most stellar pampas grass florals by Stems Floral Design to a modern yet elegant Rue de Seine bridal gown (complete with the most killer denim jacket) to little hints of the journey these lovers had shared together in 2020 (especially those custom coozies and that incredibly sweet heart locket on Kelly’s bouquet). We even got to steal Stuart and Kelly away for just a few more stunning romantics with that endless Texas horizon as the ultimate backdrop. These two capped off their pretty ceremony with the dance party of the year and made their getaway in the coolest vintage Cadillac ever!

And even though they went through it all in 2020, our gal Kelly reminds us (and every single couple out there) that, “The wedding does not define your marriage. I know it's so much easier said than done, but don't sweat the small stuff! Go into it knowing things aren't always going to go as planned, and roll with the punches.”

Third time truly was the charm for Stuart and Kelly and damn, were we glad to be a part of every moment of it. We’re so grateful for these two, both of their incredible wedding days, and for one of the most unexpected, yet amazing little friendships we’ve ever made with a couple. Cheers to the Sutters and to doing the dang thing no matter what!

Wedding Inspo - a Colorful, Disco-Infused Austin Elopement

Earlier this month we had the raddest time in our home away from home, Austin, with the funkiest, most colorfully-bold styled elopement ever. Every last inch of this day was absolutely astonishing and, truth be told, we’re still on cloud nine over it all.

This amazing day kicked off at the perfect blend of modern-chic and ultimate blank slate wedding venue, Camino Real Ranch. This gem of location is the most incredibly place to make just about any wedding vision come to life. Wedding planner and stylist extraordinaire, XO Moreau Weddings, made this day one for the books with the most perfect details and vision. And ICYMI, we’re still very obsessed with the bright, avant-garde florals from Good Seed Floral Co mixed with the most stunning details from Owl and Envelope, Moon Tower Rentals, and Table Manners Texas. To top it all off, Feathers and Frosting created the most astonishing cakes adorned with tiny disco ball details and the most wild shag rug texture.

And if all of the beautifully crafted details weren’t enough, we got to hang out with the most fun, insanely beautiful models on the planet. We adored the way our bride, Rachel, absolutely glowed in that Chosen by KYHA gown from our friends at Unbridaled and we loved how dashing and fun our sweet groom Noah was from start to finish.

To all the wild lovers out there, we’re so excited to create even more stellar days like this one in the future, we can’t wait to get groovy with all you.
