Will + Lindsay, a Cozy Downtown Santa Fe Winter Wedding

Sweet lovers Will and Lindsay got to celebrate their much anticipated new chapter with all of their friends and family at the coziest downtown Santa Fe fête. We love the way these two fully embraced the Southwestern winter season for truly one of the most beautiful celebrations around.

These cuties have been together for almost a decade and tied the knot back in October of 2021 with an incredibly intimate ceremony at the iconic Pecos National Historical Site on the prettiest fall afternoon. A few months later, Lindsay and Will brought all of their favorite people together for an unforgettable bash in The City Different.

We adored the way these hunnies mixed sleek modern details with charming Southwestern touches for a wonderfully unique and elegant evening. From running around the holiday decor-adorned Santa Fe Plaza for romantics to catching some dreamy balcony views during golden hour to absolutely dancing the night away, every second of this day was a true celebration of joy and love.

Cheers on the latest chapter in a truly beautiful love story, we loved being a tiny piece of it all!

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!!

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!

Each and every season brings out new cake trends as well as the classic styles we’ve come to absolutely adore over the years. We’ve been crushing so dang hard on all of the funky shag rug cakes, incredible heart-shaped beauties, and those pressed flower darlings, but we’re also major fans of those ever-so-stunning buttercream floral cakes that compliment literally any wedding out there. And the best of all is when we get to witness a perfect blend of a tried and true trend with something brand new (peep that floral cake adorned with custom made jewelry shapes below!).

We’re so dang ready to kick off our 2022 season and see all of those deliciously divine creations every single weekend, bring on all the sugar-coated goodness!

Evan + Jocelyn, a Gorgeous Los Poblanos Wedding

When we first crossed paths with Evan + Jocelyn nearly 3 years ago, we knew that this pair was a special & unstoppable force. So when the opportunity came to finally capture their divine wedding at Los Poblanos, it was one we knew we’d never forget.

These hunnies first met several years ago in 2016 through mutual friends while Jocelyn was visiting Los Angeles for a Van Morrison concert. After a day filled with day drinking & a good time with friends, Evan and Jocelyn immediately became inseparable. When Jocelyn had to return to Las Vegas, where she was working on her Masters, Evan offered to drive her to the airport and within a week he also made the trip to Nevada to see her again. Not too long after their initial spark, Evan asked Jocelyn to be his girlfriend at the Los Angles County Art Museum, an extremely special location that would also be the site of his proposal just a few years later.

Despite the continual challenges of 2020 and the pandemic’s constant presence, Evan and Jocelyn found the most glorious journey to their next chapter together. After postponing their wedding an entire year and cutting their guest list down from 180 to less than 30, these angels were able to make it last name official on a beyond serene July evening.

Besides simply being two of the most stunning humans we’ve ever encountered, Evan and Jocelyn also included some of the most heartfelt details into their day. Jocelyn’s ring carries two diamonds that once belonged to Evan’s grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who brought the diamonds to America from the jewelry store her family owned back in Gelsenkirchen, Germany after WWII. And if it wasn’t already beyond obvious that Evan and Jocelyn are soulmates, they realized that the wedding day letters they wrote to each other matched their vows verbatim. These moments and so many of the other highlights that were a part of Evan and Jocelyn’s joyful day, truly made this celebration one beyond anything we could’ve imagined. To top it all off, we were blessed with the most serene weather during a week where we had seen monsoon-like rainstorms and high winds, truly a sign from the universe that Jocelyn and Evan’s love is a force to be reckoned with.

We’re forever enamored with love stories like Evan and Jocelyn’s, a connection that is so deeply influenced by the love that came before it & will certainly inspire everyone around it for years to come.

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.

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.
