Jojo + Nhi, a Breathtaking Cancun Wedding

If there were ever two souls that were meant to be together, we would say Nhi and Jojo are them. These angels took their love story to the next level down in Cancun, Mexico with a celebration truly unparalleled by anything we’ve witnessed before.

Jojo and Nhi met way back in 2018 through mutual friends at a downtown block party in Albuquerque, NM and since that fateful night, these two have been crushing on each other so freaking hard. Over the years they continued to fall more and more in love with one another, and eventually started a new chapter when Jojo proposed Nhi in 2021.

Knowing how much they wanted a wedding that reflected some many of the things they love, including travel, Nhi and Jojo took the party to Finest Playa Mujeres in Cancun and let’s just say this late May soirée was one for the books. True to her elegant, effortless style, Nhi’s wedding gown and cape, whipped up by the one and only Terese Rose Designs, was the perfect mix of modern and luxe vibes. And if this angel couldn’t be any more stunning, Nhi and her girls also did all of their own hair and makeup (we need them to teach us their ways asap). After an emotional first look, the most incredible ceremony (complete with a “shot boy” passing out shooters down the aisle and music by Drake), and of course dreamy romantics surrounded by the most stunning tropical surroundings, Jojo and Nhi topped of their wedding with an all night PARTY. With the most incredible mix by our fave dude Tony of Cutmaster Music, these lovebirds ushered in married life in the most unreal way possible.

We are so deeply enamored by not only Jojo and Nhi’s commitment and love for one another, but by the incredible sense of community these two have formed with all of their friends and family from both near and far. Forever the biggest fans of these babes and the way they let their love shed light on everyone they know.

Ben + Emilee, a Stunning Sandia Event Center Wedding

Long before Ben and Emilee said “I do” on the prettiest fall day, they met when they were just kids. Even though they’re seven years apart, these two soulmates still found each other and finally made it last name official this past year!

Growing up with their families being very close, Ben and Emilee have known each for a very long time (their dads even went to elementary school together!), but they didn’t hit it off until later in life. In between Emiliee’s junior and senior years of college, while her and Ben were living together in the same town, Ben told his future wifey that he wanted to propose. Despite fancy dinners and long, romantic walks (planned by Emilee), nothing happened! Finally, during a casual night in of grubbin’ on Jimmy John’s, right there in their living room Ben popped the question.

For these cuties, not only was a dreamy venue with views of the Sandia mountains important, but they wanted to have an all out party for their loved ones! Sandia Event Center was the obvious choice and they included so many lovely details from bespoke invitations by our pals at Funky Olive, to custom Nike reception shoes for Emliee, to Ben’s super unique suit jacket (that had a print of skiers in it!). Ben and Emilee kept their ceremony short and sweet — while incluing Emilee’s childhood pastor as officiant for the ceremony), snagged some of the prettiest dang romantics during golden hour, and then threw the bash of the century allllll night long! We wish that we could post every single photo from this day, it was nothing short of amazing and a total blast!

Congrats Ben and Emilee, we love you two and your absolutely FAIRYTALE love story!!
