Wedding Inspo - Spring Weddings

As the winter season winds down, spring is most certainly in the air, especially in the Southwest. We adore this incredible time of year and all of the excitement it brings, here’s some of the most magical spring wedding moments we’ve had in the past few seasons.

One thing that we love so adamantly about spring is all of the inspiration and new life it gives to wedding season. From pressed flowers on cakes to blush colored gowns to floral-print ties, all of the tiny details that spring ushers in are always so divine.

We’re in the thick of our 2022 spring wedding season and are so thrilled for what’s to come, but until then take a peek at these darling spring days of the past!

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 (!!!).

Bobby + D'anndra, a Romantic Hacienda Doña Andrea Styled Elopement

After a full year of planning and postponing, we were finally able to make one of the dreamiest styled shoot-outs a reality! Along with the most stellar vendor team, we created one of the most beautiful days at our favorite place, Hacienda Doña Andrea, and invited other local photographers to capture this stunning day alongside us.

Even though we had to wait an extra year to make this day happen, it was beyond freaking worth it. Our vendor friends pulled out all the stops for this one and it’ll be a day we never forget. For the dreamiest bridal glam, Ashley and Savannah of Betty Rose by Alanna made our bride D’anndra absolutely glow! And if that wasn’t enough, our friends at Bridal Elegance by Darlene sent over not only one, but two divine bridal gowns for us to capture. To top off all that style, our bride and groom got to wear the most beautiful jewelry pieces by PAZ as well as Desert Gold Fine Jewelry.

When we started manifesting this shoot in 2020, we knew it wouldn’t be complete with our angel Lauren from Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals and dang did she make all of our dreams come true. From the coziest lounge area to the dreamiest reception scene to a ceremony set-up that perfectly complimented the vast open beauty of Northern New Mexico, Lauren brought all the magic and then some. And to add a little extra beauty to this day, Letterpress Made created the most softly minimal paper goods while Three Baby Birds gave us the cake of our dreams. To close out this gorgeous October evening, we took things to the roof where our models, Bobby and D’annadra brought the heat to one of the chilliest evenings of the fall.

Even though we don’t get to host big styled shoot-outs often, evenings like this one remind us why we love doing them so much. Cheers to bringing even more magic to the NM wedding community in 2022!!!
