Kim + Daniel, a Heavenly White Sands National Park Wedding

Tennessee hunnies Kim and Daniel returned to their home state of New Mexico to kick off their new chapter with a dreamy, intimate wedding at White Sands National Park. These lovers’ day was one of unbridled joy and the most divine views of all.

Long before they became husband and wife, Daniel and Kim first met when they were both just high school seniors in The Land of Enchantment. Even though they attended different universities for undergrad, these two quickly found their way back to one another and continued to fall deeper in love. After several years of long distance romance, Kim and Daniel moved to Knoxville, TN to begin their new life together. A few years down the road, Daniel proposed to Kim right after a sunset riverboat cruise along the Tennessee River.

These angels knew that a huge wedding wasn’t their style, so they decided that the ever-majestic White Sands National Park in southern New Mexico would be the perfect backdrop for their nuptials. Surrounded by only a handful of loved ones, Kim and Daniel made their love official among the endless sparkling white dunes. Seeing these lovers soak in all of their newlywed bliss in one of the most ethereal places on earth was beyond our wildest dreams.

Ruben + Victoria, a Carefree Las Cruces Engagement

Cuties Victoria and Ruben have been together for over a decade and are finally going to make it official in 2024 with a gorgeously intimate wedding in Southern New Mexico. We spent the most serene evening journeying around Las Cruces with them and dang was it a stunning engagement.

Ruben and Victoria first met in high school and have been together ever since, sticking together through undergrad, graduate school, and everything in between! When they’re not hanging out with their sweet pup, Kobe, these babes enjoy exploring and traveling in both their city and around the world.

Michael + Kieu-Vi, an Ethereal White Sands Engagement

When Houston sweethearts Michael and Kieu-Vi reached out to us about capturing their gorgeous engagement at White Sands National Park, we knew it would be an unreal evening. These two and their love for each other were an absolute dream to witness and we’re clearly still up in the clouds over this session.

These lovers have been together for almost 11 years and Michael was even Kieu-Vi’s first boyfriend! They were immediately smitten with each other when they first met and haven’t been apart since. Together they’ve learned to love the individual growth they’ve experienced after a whole decade of love. Michael and Kieu-Vi are making it last name official this fall in Houston.

We adore all of the breathtakingly beautiful evenings we get to spend at White Sands, cheers to even more magic at this gem of a location.
