Jacob + Lisa a Charming Angel Fire Wedding
On the prettiest day in May, we headed up north to Angel Fire, NM for what would quickly become one of our favorite little weddings of all time. Jacob + Lisa’s tiny mountain celebration was the sweetest surprise we could’ve ever asked for this year.
Jacob and Lisa first met while playing volleyball with multual friends and initially these cuties were nothing more than just friends. About a year after connecting, they noticed an undeniable spark and soon fell head-over-heels in love with one another. These lovebirds have been inseparable ever since and Jacob proposed to Lisa while they were doing home improvement projects together!
Since they wanted something simple, yet beautiful for their nuptials, Lisa and Jacob chose a gorgeous ski cabin in dreamy little Angel Fire for their precious wedding. Surrounded only by their closest loved ones, these babes finally made it last name official with glimpses of serene forest as their backdrop. Not only were they beyond stunning to capture, but Lisa and Jacob were also so freaking fun to be around. We loved everything about their day, from Lisa’s divine bridal style to their peaceful ceremony to the coziest romantics of all time.
Cheers that sweet newlywed life cuties, we loved your little mountain party so dang much!!!

Garrett + Kyla, a Captivating Desert Engagement
On the dreamiest June evening we got to hang out with longtime sweethearts Garrett and Kyla at one of our favorite little spots in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. These cuties were seriously everything and more.
Besides this engagement being one of the dreamiest, were were so excited to get a quiet evening alone with Garrett and Kyla during their wedding week. They made it official with an incredibly romantic, super colorful celebration at Four Seasons Santa Fe.
We can’t wait to share all the beauty from these lovers’ wedding, but until then we’ll be right here obsessing over their amazing engagement.

Where to Elope in New Mexico - Adventurous Locations
If last year showed us anything, its that you can elope literally anywhere in beautiful old New Mexico. Our couples traded luxe venues and typical wedding days for stunning desert landscapes and national parks, and lets just say that none of that wedding day magic was lost.
With the pandemic forcing so many couples to either postpone or drastically change their plans, so many of our lovers took their nuptials outside to some of the most epic locations. From White Sands National Park’s ethereal atmosphere to the unreal rock formations of White Mesa to the beautiful, yet tangible history of Pecos National Historical Site, our couples took us on some of our favorite adventures of all time.
Even as slightly bigger weddings start to return to our lives, we’re hopeful that couples will still opt for some of the stellar, natural locations in our gorgeous Southwest home. We’re so beyond ready for even more adventurous love stories all over the place!!!
