Tom + Justine, an Elegant Santa Fe Wedding

When New York lovers Tom and Justine reached out to us almost two years ago to capture their day, we knew it was going to be one for the books. These two brought all that East Coast glam to the heart of the Southwest and we’re still so incredibly obsessed with it all.

These stunners fell in love after meeting in 2017 and have been together ever since. They’re currently both attorneys and live in New York City with their sweet sweet labradoodle Sam. Before the pandemic, we got to hang out with them for the dreamiest Central Park engagement session we’ve ever seen and we’re still so in love with it.

Even though 2020 forced them to change their wedding date several times, Tom and Justine were still able to do the dang thing this spring at dreamy little La Fonda on the Plaza. Not even crazy weather could keep these sweethearts from saying “I do” surrounded by all of their family and friends. From their soft, yet classic florals to Justine’s beyond elegant bridal look to the most perfect first dance, these two set the bar so high. We adored catching their emotional first look and the most magical post-rain shots right after their ceremony.

Cheers to these stellar newlyweds, every part of their day was beyond unforgettable!

Dominic + Maggie, an Enchanting Backyard Wedding

On the most divine spring day, Dominic and Maggie said “I do” and dang was it a special day. These lovers are two of our favorite humans and we were so excited to be a tiny part of their dreamy celebration.

Long before they were making it last name official, these lovers first met about five years ago in law school. Dominic was a year ahead of Maggie and ended up being Maggie’s legal tutor. Even though they were drawn to each other and had a ton in common, including their mutual love for the Philadelphia Eagles Football Team, they decided to wait until after the semester to hang out. Dominic instantly fell in love with Maggie’s dog Coco and when they stumbled upon sweet little Popcorn at a local shelter, these babes skipped class to adopt her. After four years of living their best lives with their fur babies, Dom proposed to Maggie on the prettiest fall day at Lake Isabelle in Colorado.

Dominic and Maggie created an incredibly ethereal, yet completely modern wedding at Maggie’s dad’s home in the heart of Albuquerque’s North Valley. Every single detail of this day was nothing short of an absolute daydream. From Maggie’s elegant Sarah Seven gown (paired with her bridesmaids wearing all white!) to holding their magical little ceremony under the shade of cottonwood trees adorned with white and sage florals to the most epic backyard reception designed by Just Lovely Weddings to the unreal romantics all over this incredible property (that was serving major West Coast glam vibes), we are smitten with every last part of this day. And did we mention their killer playlist? Maggie walked down the aisle to Holy by Justin Bieber and these angels picked Til There Was You by The Beatles for their first dance.

Maggie and Dominic set the bar sky-freaking-high for backyard weddings and we’re not mad about it. Bring on all the enchanting, wildly fun, do-it-however-you-want days with the best lovers!
