Whenever we get to capture a love story at a National Park, we know its going to be an absolutely stunning affair. Will and Lindsay tied the knot at Pecos National Historical Site after 8 whole years together and it was truly a magical afternoon.
These lovers aren’t originally from New Mexico, but they have always been drawn to The Land of Enchantment. Lindsay and Will first met right after college when they both moved to Albuquerque and ended up being roommates. They soon after fell for each other and continued date long-distance for 5 years during grad school in California. After graduation, Lindsay and Will knew that they wanted to call the Southwest home and moved back to New Mexico to start their next chapter together.
Will and Lindsay held an intimate, minimalist wedding in Pecos with only 15 guests on the most beautiful September day. After the most heartfelt vows, these two wandered around the desert for the dreamiest portraits amid the moody mid-day New Mexico skies. We adored the beauty and simplicity of their day, from gorgeous florals from La Flora Floristry to elegantly-modern bridal glam by the Betty Rose team.
Will and Lindsay’s tiny day was truly one we treasured and dream of day after day, cheers to newlywed life angels!

Skylar + Hannah, a Ski Santa Fe Proposal
When sweet Skylar reached out to us about capturing his surprise proposal to his love Hannah, we knew it was going to be a breathtaking day. These high school sweethearts officially got engaged during one of their many snowboarding days at Ski Santa Fe and we were so thrilled to be a tiny part of it.
Skylar and Hannah first began dating right before their senior year of high school and have absolutely inseparable ever since. Their love endured as they tackled college, buying a house, and a whole lot of adventures together. These cuties love hiking and snowboarding as well as hanging out with their fur babies Winston and Walter. Even though they’re freshly engaged, Skylar and Hannah hope to tie the knot up in beautiful Colorado.
We’re the biggest fans of all the surprise proposal, especially when they involve the coolest locations. We can’t wait to see all the new love stories unfold this season!
