Wedding Inspo - Summer Weddings

Now that we’re almost at the very end of our spring wedding season, we can just feel that incredible summer celebration mood. We adore all the lush, gorgeous, and care-free vibes that summer weddings are always sure to bring our way.

Summers are always one of our favorite seasons to capture all that dreamy wedding beauty and our couples always know how to completely level up their special days. From ethereal garden weddings filled with pops of color to rustic weddings in the middle of the desert to elegant, yet completely chic Southwestern celebrations, there’s a little something for everyone when it comes to hot weather soirées.

We’re beyond thrilled to kick off summer weddings with the best couples on the planet, cheers to all the amazing days to come!!

Every season we’re in awe of all the dreamy details our couples pull out for their special day and we’re continually impressed by our amazing grooms. From the most casual celebrations to the elegant, black-tie affairs, these guys always know how to nail the perfect style.

Whether its a simple blue suit for a backyard wedding or a sharp black tux for an elevated soirée, groom style never ever fails to absolutely wow us. Last season we saw some of the most incredible wedding day looks around, including a dreamy red velvet blazer, stunning bolo ties, and even the sleekest white sneakers (!!!).

We’re so excited to see all the new levels our grooms our bound to take their style to this season, cheers to doing the damn thing in style!!!

Wedding Inspo - Wedding Cakes

If you know our team, you know that wedding cakes hold such a big space in our hearts. Truth be told, we’re downright obsessed with seeing how our couples bring together their unique style with this traditional staple.

Each and every season brings out new cake trends as well as the classic styles we’ve come to absolutely adore over the years. We’ve been crushing so dang hard on all of the funky shag rug cakes, incredible heart-shaped beauties, and those pressed flower darlings, but we’re also major fans of those ever-so-stunning buttercream floral cakes that compliment literally any wedding out there. And the best of all is when we get to witness a perfect blend of a tried and true trend with something brand new (peep that floral cake adorned with custom made jewelry shapes below!).

We’re so dang ready to kick off our 2022 season and see all of those deliciously divine creations every single weekend, bring on all the sugar-coated goodness!

Garrett + Kyla, a Romantic Four Seasons Santa Fe Wedding

When New York lovers Garrett and Kyla reached out to us about capturing their wedding in Santa Fe, we knew it was going to be the most elegant soirée to date. These babes brought the most incredible details to New Mexico on beyond perfect June day.

Garrett and Kyla’s Four Seasons Santa Fe celebration brought together the dreamiest East Coast style with some of the prettiest Southwestern touches. Sweet bride Kyla opted for a sleek yet completely stunning Savannah Miller gown with the softest bridal glam, a look that paired so perfectly with Garrett’s stellar custom tux from Michael Andrews Bespoke. And to make things even more amazing, these lovers had the most amazingly colorful florals from the wedding queens at Floriography Flowers alongside custom paper goods (complete with turquoise Zia stamps!!!) from Funky Olive Design.

Besides all of the stunning details these two brought to their unforgettable day, Garrett and Kyla’s wedding was also filled with emotional, downright beautiful moments. After the sweetest first look, these cuties braved a little bit of rain for a heartfelt, joyful ceremony surrounded by their friends and family. We got to steal these two away for an unreal evening of romantics (with a few cocktails!!!!) before they partied the night away with all of their loved ones.

If there’s one thing we’ll never forget, its the way that Garrett and Kyla made their day not only beautiful, but so incredibly intentional. Cheers to all the lovers who bring the best of both worlds to their wedding days, we’re truly head-over-heels for it all!

Wedding Inspo - Top 5 Santa Fe Wedding Venues

Being from the gorgeous state of New Mexico, we spend a whole lot of time in our beautiful capital city of Santa Fe. We picked our top five places to tie the knot in The City Different and, dang, are they dreamy.

From the adobe-adorned plaza to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to way out in the desert, there are so many uniquely stunning places to say “I do” in and around Santa Fe. We adore spending time at La Fonda on the Plaza and La Posada de Santa Fe, both of which are located right near the heart of the city and have the most divine, historic architecture. We’re also head-over-heels for all the venues out in the wilds of New Mexico. From Georgia O’Keeffe’s beloved gem Ghost Ranch to the the hidden mountain beauty of Four Seasons Santa Santa Fe to the eclectic, wildly unique vibes of Hacienda Doña Andrea, couples have a plethora of ethereal, Southwestern spots to make it last name official.

We’re obsessed with all the incredible celebrations we’ve captured at these stellar venues and can’t wait to witness even more love and magic at them soon!
