Kenny + Molly, a Dazzling La Posada de Santa Fe Wedding

Los Angeles babes Kenny and Molly had the most wildly beautiful wedding in Santa Fe last fall, but we’ve gotten to celebrate with these cuties a handful of times before their special day. These sweethearts brought all the romance and all the incredibly fun details to the most unforgettable day around.

Kenny and Molly first met many moons ago in Colorado through work and after about a year of long-distance love, Molly made the move to Los Angeles, where Kenny was living, and these two have been an absolutely inseparable power couple ever since. A few years down the road, they added their sweet fur baby, Mika, to their family and have been traveling all over the world together ever since.

Even though these two initially celebrate their marriage back in 2020 with a tiny gathering at a family property, we’ve been lucky enough to know them since way back in 2018 when we first met them while capturing one of their best friends’ wedding! Since then, Molly has become one of our Instagram besties and we just knew that hers and Kenny’s wedding was going to be a show stopper. From their chic, yet extremely cool wedding style (just peep those matching sneakers) to the invitation suite that Kenny himself designed to their gorgeous al fresco reception to having not just ping pong, but a Mrs Pac Man arcade game for their guests, Molly and Kenny sure as heck showed us how to PARTY.

We’re deeply obsessed with these lovers and all the light they bring to the world, cheers to the Barela Wedding Party!!!

Wedding Inspo - a Heavenly New Mexico Desert Elopement

Last season we finished off one of the prettiest years yet with a beyond dreamy evening way out west in the middle of the desert. This little styled elopement had all of the soft Southwestern touches we love with a touch of whimsical beauty.

We met up with real-life lovers Dillon and Jordan and our creative angel, Alanna Garcia, to bring this oh-so-special evening to life. This shoot had all the things we love: boho-chic wedding style, divine florals, unreal bridal glam, and a killer view. After wandering around in the desert, we topped off the day with a few shots of the epic Sandia mountains as the perfect backdrop.

Being able to dream up the prettiest evenings and roam around some of our favorite places definitely keep of hearts so dang full. Cheers to more wildly beautiful New Mexico evenings.

Every so often we get to journey into the mountains for engagement sessions and its always so dang magical. Sweethearts Wyatt and Caity spent a dreamy fall evening with us among the most stunning foliage and we’re still daydreaming about it!

These cuties have been together for four whole years and originally met when they were both college students at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. Caity and Wyatt moved to Albuquerque right before the pandemic and now have a fur baby, Tucker, who they love spending time with. These hunnies are going to tie the knot this fall in California and we’re positive that it will be the dreamiest day.

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!!

Wedding Inspo - Old Town Weddings and Elopements

If there’s one part of town we love getting to rediscover over and over every season its beautiful little Old Town Albuquerque. Even though wedding season looked a whole lot different this year, we loved every second spent in this enchanting little area capturing tiny nuptials.

Besides being incredibly iconic, Old Town is a place that oozes magic and charm around every single corner. Whether its an intimate wedding at the ever so quaint Old Town Farm, a grand wedding at the historic San Felipe de Neri Church right on the plaza, a quiet elopement at The Desert Compass, or a stunning ceremony at Hotel Albuquerque, we always find something new to love about this special part of town. We love getting to see new little venues thrive and older venue get lots of well-deserved love all in the same part of town.

We’re so excited for more enchanting days in this hidden gem of a place, cheers to many more years of our beloved Old Town!!!
