Jay + Jordyn, a Stunning White Mesa Engagement

We got to spend one of our first 2022 engagements with long-time sweethearts Jay and Jordan. Going back to one of our favorite little desert locations with these stunners made for the absolute perfect winter evening.

These hunnies first met while they were both students at West Mesa High School here in Albuquerque, NM and have been together ever since. Over the last decade of being in love, Jordan and Jay have not only traveled the world together and started their little life together, they’ve also welcomed their sweet little girl, Sophia, into their family.

We already know that Jordan and Jay’s fall wedding at Old Town Farm will be one for the books, we can’t freaking wait for all the beauty.

2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.
