Cameron + Ali, a Whimsical Santa Fe Wedding

Dallas babes Ali and Cameron hold Santa Fe very close to their hearts and when wedding bells were finally in their near future, they knew no other place but The City Different would do for their nuptials. These lovers brought the most romantic, colorful fall atmosphere to La Posada de Santa Fe and it was truly a day for the books.

Long before they were saying “ I do”, Cameron and Ali met by chance through their previous employers. For their first date, these cuties were invited to a ‘young professionals networking concert’, but after a few moments at the celebration, they realized they were at the wrong party (everyone else in attendance was at least 20 years older than them!). Soon after this, these two became inseparable and continued exploring Dallas and the world together. In 2021, a few days after purchasing their dream home that was situated close to where Ali grew up, Cameron proposed and surprised Ali by having all of their family (including their sweet puppy) present for the occasion.

These angels dreamed up their ideal Santa Fe wedding together, spending lots of weekends in the Southwest to make sure that everything was perfection for their big day (and trust us when we say it definitely was). Ali and Cameron started off their day with an emotional first look and lots of sweet moments with their family and closest friends. These two chose to honor their faith by getting married at The Church of the Holy Faith (the sister chapel to their beloved Dallas church) and their intuition that this little Santa Fe church was the perfect place for them to become husband and wife was confirmed when they found out that its garden is dedicated to ‘Alexandra Cameron Ward’ (talk about a sign from the universe!). Following their beautiful ceremony, these hunnies were led by a mariachi parade back to La Posada where they finally got to witness their wedding dream come to life. For their reception, Ali and Cameron had hoped for a serene evening without rain to allow for their al fresco dinner and dang was their wish granted. Their reception, filled with warm-toned arrangements of florals (both on the tables and overhead) and fruits alongside delicate fine china, was completely untouched by Mother Nature. After their tranquil, romantic dinner, Ali and Cameron partied the night away with all of the guests before finishing off their celebration with a sparkler exit and a couple of cheeky kisses at Julia’s Bar.

This day was everything we could have hoped for and then some, we adored spending the most perfect September day with these lovers. Cheers to married life Cameron and Ali!!!

Elena + Curtis, an Enchanting Santa Fe Wedding

Darling lovebirds Curtis and Elena brought the dreamiest party to New Mexico this September with an incredibly enchanting celebration at La Fonda on the Plaza. These Colorado cuties curated a day full of stunning views, loved ones, and absolute newlywed bliss to make for an unforgettable Sunday in Santa Fe.

Even though they call Denver home, Curtis and Elena met over a decade ago in their hometown of Las Cruces. Both of these babes were in high school band together and after initially crossing paths in 2006, they officially became friends in 2008. After spending many days of hanging out, swapping iPod playlists, and getting lunch together, Elena and Curtis leaned all the way into the spark they felt for one another. Even though they separated briefly during college, these two couldn’t stay away from one another and eventually both graduated from The University of New Mexico together. After spending lots of time growing together in The Land of Enchantment (and earning deeply impressive degrees), these hunnies moved north for Elena to complete her medical residency at The University of Colorado. They are currently living and loving their dream life with their dog, Hugo, in The Mile High City.

For their wedding, Elena and Curtis created a modern, colorful, and completely stunning Southwestern day. They incorporated a ton of New Mexico inspired touches to their wedding (just peep those invitations and mariachi band) in addition to unique details including Curtis’ mint green suit, bright florals from Two Baroque Girls, Elena’s glittering Bridal gown, and the sweetest little Star Wars inspired wedding cake. We loved exploring some of the dreamiest, coziest places on the Santa Fe Plaza with these cuties just as the softest golden hour began to roll into the city. Curtis and Elena ended the night partying with so many of their favorite people and it was truly the most incredible celebration of love and pure happiness.

Cheers to a love that cannot be stopped by time, distance, or anything life throws at it. We know these two are going to have the most amazing new chapter together.
