Will + Lindsay, a Cozy Downtown Santa Fe Winter Wedding

Sweet lovers Will and Lindsay got to celebrate their much anticipated new chapter with all of their friends and family at the coziest downtown Santa Fe fête. We love the way these two fully embraced the Southwestern winter season for truly one of the most beautiful celebrations around.

These cuties have been together for almost a decade and tied the knot back in October of 2021 with an incredibly intimate ceremony at the iconic Pecos National Historical Site on the prettiest fall afternoon. A few months later, Lindsay and Will brought all of their favorite people together for an unforgettable bash in The City Different.

We adored the way these hunnies mixed sleek modern details with charming Southwestern touches for a wonderfully unique and elegant evening. From running around the holiday decor-adorned Santa Fe Plaza for romantics to catching some dreamy balcony views during golden hour to absolutely dancing the night away, every second of this day was a true celebration of joy and love.

Cheers on the latest chapter in a truly beautiful love story, we loved being a tiny piece of it all!

Chris + Lauren, a Heavenly Las Vegas Wedding at The Neon Museum

Every single season we get to capture some of the most magical days ever, but when fellow wedding vendor Lauren, who also happens to be one of the most angelic humans on earth asked us to photograph her dream day in Las Vegas we knew it would be a celebration for the ages.

Chris and Lauren first met many moons ago, yet from the very start, they knew their connection was beyond special. Over the years, these hunnies’ love for one another and for all of their shared passions grew, from traveling to loving on their sweet fur baby, Señor, to spending their weekends together (even if it included working on dreamy wedding days for Lauren’s business, Just Lovely Weddings). Finally, this little fairytale was topped off when Chris proposed to Lauren with the dreamiest ring we’ve ever laid eyes on.

These lovers knew that Las Vegas, one of their favorite places to travel to, would be the most magical place to say “ I do” and started planning the most gorgeous wedding of all time. Lauren and Chris wanted to include all of their favorite Sin City spots, from The Neon Museum to the Plaza Hotel to the Vegas Strip and damn, did they do the most flawless job creating a perfectly unforgettable day. By making sure that every single moment of their sweet February day encompassed so many personal and intentional details, Lauren and Chris brought an unbelievable amount of joy, honesty, and endearment to all of their loved ones in attendance.

We could go on forever about how the perfect Lauren’s bridal glam was (because she was absolutely angelic from head to toe) or how astonishing their vows at The Neon Museum were to witness (everyone was in tears!) or even how starstruck we were by the vintage Cadillac Lauren and Chris got to cruise around in (it was unreal!), but what made this day so special was how palpable the love between these two souls really is. As Lauren said so perfectly in her vows to Chris, “being with you is like listening to all of my favorite songs at the same time”, and this weekend was really like watching a film with the most impeccable playlist. The Las Vegas Strip might have roughly 12,000,000 lights, but the love felt on this day shone even brighter, and that is truly the most incredible part of it all.

Cheers to making it official in the most dazzling locations, we’ll cherish this day with Lauren + Chris forever and ever.

Will + Lindsay, an Intimate Pecos Historic Site Wedding

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!

Wedding Inspo - Winter Weddings + Elopements

The temperature might be getting more and more chilly, but we know that winter weddings and elopements always bring the heat. Even though we don’t capture a ton of cold weather celebrations, the ones that we get to be a part of are so incredibly divine.

Winter nuptials are not only insanely beautiful, they’re also deeply serene. From the cozy, romantic little moments to the way this time of year just ushers in those quiet, intimate gatherings, weddings in the coldest part of the year are beyond enchanting.

Keeping our fingers crossed for even more of these magical days in the future, we’re forever in love with celebrations of love in the middle of winter.

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!!!

Owen + Amelia, a Heavenly Old Town Wedding

After nearly 3 whole years of waiting, longtime sweethearts Owen and Amelia finally got to celebrate their wedding surrounded by their family and friends on the most perfect spring day. These lovers created the most magical day in Old Town and dang, was it one for the books.

Owen and Amelia first met several years ago through a mutual friend while both living in Boston. At first, they both thought that their relationship wouldn’t turn into anything serious, but the universe had other plans and these two slowly fell head-over-heels in love. In 2018, Owen proposed to Amelia in their kitchen right before Christmas and the rest is history.

We met these cuties all the way back in spring of 2019 for their engagement session and were so honored to be a part of their tiny elopement in 2020 when the pandemic forced them to postpone their big day. Nearly a year later, Owen and Amelia got to reaffirm their love and commitment for each other in the presence of their loved ones and tbh it was a day that was worth the wait. Leaning into the soft garden vibe of their dreamy venue, Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town, Amelia and Owen’s wedding highlighted all their delicate details and classic romance. From the unreal bridal gown that Amelia’s mom made by hand for her (!!!!!!!) to the stunning florals crafted by our friends at Floral Elegance right down to their sweet first dance to “I Found You” by Alabama Shakes, this heavenly day was everything and more. Seeing these two finally having their dream wedding (along with their cutie pup Penny!) was beyond special to us.

We adored every single second of Amelia and Owen’s journey together, cheers to a lifetime of love angels!!!

Jacob + Lisa a Charming Angel Fire Wedding

On the prettiest day in May, we headed up north to Angel Fire, NM for what would quickly become one of our favorite little weddings of all time. Jacob + Lisa’s tiny mountain celebration was the sweetest surprise we could’ve ever asked for this year.

Jacob and Lisa first met while playing volleyball with multual friends and initially these cuties were nothing more than just friends. About a year after connecting, they noticed an undeniable spark and soon fell head-over-heels in love with one another. These lovebirds have been inseparable ever since and Jacob proposed to Lisa while they were doing home improvement projects together!

Since they wanted something simple, yet beautiful for their nuptials, Lisa and Jacob chose a gorgeous ski cabin in dreamy little Angel Fire for their precious wedding. Surrounded only by their closest loved ones, these babes finally made it last name official with glimpses of serene forest as their backdrop. Not only were they beyond stunning to capture, but Lisa and Jacob were also so freaking fun to be around. We loved everything about their day, from Lisa’s divine bridal style to their peaceful ceremony to the coziest romantics of all time.

Cheers that sweet newlywed life cuties, we loved your little mountain party so dang much!!!
