Brooklyn hunnies Justin and Olivia tied the knot on the most stunning, windy October afternoon ever. This northern New Mexico daydream was just what we needed to kick off the most unforgettable October of all time.
Long before they traveled to Southwest to make their love official, Olivia and Justin first met at a bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Olivia was attending a party for a friend while Justin was playing in a band at the party and it didn’t take these two long to instantly connect. After their first date at Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn, these babes knew their spark was going to last for a long time. A few years down the road, Justin proposed in Santa Fe while he and Olivia were on a road trip across the country and Olivia, of course, said yes.
When recalling how magical their experience in the Southwest truly was for their engagement, Olivia and Justin decided to do the dang thing in New Mexico. After deciding on the ever-iconic Pecos National Historic Monument, these lovebirds began to craft the most enchanting of intimate destination weddings. Amid their closest friends and family, Justin and Olivia committed themselves to each other and to their love forever and dang was it the most special of ceremonies. We adored exploring this historic location with these sweethearts underneath the bright blue New Mexico sky.
Cheers to taking risks and falling head-over-heels in love with it all!

Wedding Inspo - Fall Weddings
As the temperatures begin to drop and the world around us turns to soft shades of orange, we know that fall wedding season is just around the corner. Besides being the busiest time of the year for us, autumn holds so much promise and beauty for our team as we journey out to capture all of the nuptials taking place amid the gently changing season.
From the moody and romantic fêtes to the more subtle and easy-spirited days, weddings in the fall always bring something extra special to the mix. Whether its florals in all hues of yellow and brown or the mystical light of an autumn sunset at the end of a stunning wedding day, weddings at this time of year always bring us full circle in a perfect mix of nostalgia and inspiration.
We’re so thrilled for all of the love stories to be captured at this incredibly special time, we know that we’re going to lean into this fall in the best way possible.

Wedding Inspo - Northern New Mexico Weddings
While Albuquerque and Santa Fe might be two of the cities we frequent the most for dreamy weddings, we can’t deny the absolute enchantment of northern New Mexico. From the painted deserts of Abiquiu to the mystic mountains of Taos to the serene aura of Eagle Nest Lake, there’s something charming to be found at every corner of this little part of New Mexico.
Over the past few seasons, we’ve been lucky enough to catch tiny glimpses of all the bewitching area that is northern New Mexico. We’re beyond smitten with every part of the north, whether its the pretty ranches, the historic monuments or even the tiniest, most intimate spaces.
We’re so excited for even more wonderful days in the north, here’s to all the beautiful love stories still to come!!!
