Gates + C.C., a Private Estate Wedding in New Mexico

Even though they replanned their wedding four (!) times due to the pandemic, East Coast sweethearts Gates and C.C. found the most incredible way to make the most of all the curveballs 2020 had thrown at them.

These lovers first met back in college at Princeton and started dating shortly after graduation. A few years later, Gates proposed at Beckford’s Tower, a spot overlooking Bath, a very special English city where C.C. had studied postgrad and the same place where these two had lived together.

Through all the wedding plan changes and challenges, Gates and C.C. decided to focus on what mattered most to both of them, their love for each other and their new chapter together. They decided to make it official at a private family estate in New Mexico and we were overwhelmed by all of the gorgeous details these two brought to their remarkable day. From the dreamiest flowers from our floral queen Melissa of Rengegade Floral to the softest, daintiest bridal glam by our gals Kata and Diana of Something Ginger to C.C.’s elegantly modern bridal style (which included that stellar Oscar de la Renta gown), everything about this day fell magically into place. And if their details weren’t enough, Gates and C.C. surprised us by taking us to the most captivating flower field for some of their romantics.

We loved this sweet day with Gates and C.C., cheers to all the couples making this year a celebration of love despite all the odds!
