Wedding Inspo - Top 5 Albuquerque Wedding Venues

Albuquerque has been our number one spot for weddings and elopements over the last ten seasons and let’s just say that the cutie venues here never disappoint. Our sweet little city has some of the dreamiest places to say “I do” and we’re constantly blown away by the magical celebrations we get to capture at each of them.

From tiny little farms to lavender gardens to elegant hotels to quiet gardens, there truly is a venue in Albuquerque for every single couple out there. If you’re more of the classic, romantic type, Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town might be perfect for you, but if you’re more of a quaint, rustic kind of lover, Old Town Farm could be your jam. And if you’re looking for a historic, otherworldly place to elope or have a tiny wedding, the ever stunning Los Poblanos could make your dreams come true.

Every single time we visit these sweet little venues we’re reminded of why we adore Albuquerque so much and special this city really is to us. We can’t wait for even more lovers to tie the knot at these incredible spaces!!!

Russell + Katie, an Old Town Farm Elopement

Last September we got to return to one of our favorite little venues hidden right in the heart of Albuquerque, Old Town Farm, for Russell and Katie’s beautiful elopement. Being a part of these lovers’ day was such a gift and we’re beyond grateful for this lovely, quiet evening with them.

Russell and Katie first connected in Columbia, Ohio through a dating app and even though they initially didn’t meet for several months, they immediately hit it off. A few years later, their cutie son Jack was born and five short months after starting their little family together, Russell proposed on Christmas morning of 2018. Katie, of course, said yes and these two started off their engagement by picking out rings together.

After their initial spring wedding was postponed and then cancelled due to COVID, Russell and Katie decided to alter their celebration down to just a tiny elopement. They were able to keep their dreamy little venue, Old Town Farm, for the most beautiful fall evening. Katie’s modern yet elegant bridal style was absolute perfection and we adored how our angel Genica Lee gave this beauty the most glam hair and makeup. We’re also still very obsessed with the dark, yet colorful florals Albuquerque Florist created for this evening (especially those cranberry tones). These two said “I do” during the most perfect golden hour glow alongside their son and two of their closest friends. After their quick nuptials, we got to spend even more time with Russell and Katie as they soaked up those first hours of being married.

We were so inspired these two and so dang honored to be there to capture the next step of their journey. Congrats Katie and Russell, we adore you and your elopement so much!
