Taylor + Eliza, a Timelessly Romantic La Fonda on the Plaza Wedding

Early this spring, Los Angeles lovers Eliza and Taylor journeyed to Santa Fe to officially begin the next chapter of their lives together. This gorgeous April day truly felt suspended in time as these two soulmates celebrated the first moments of marriage together.

These hunnies met in the most modern way via Hinge nearly 8 years ago and even though Taylor was uncharacteristically late for their first date (a fact Eliza will never let him live down!), they’ve been smitten ever since. Over the years, Eliza and Taylor grew as both people and as partners, making their love for each other and for life even stronger. While staying at their vintage trailer way out in the California desert during the lockdown of 2020, Taylor and Eliza decided that they were ready to make their love a forever thing (they even proposed to each other with ring pops during this trip!). Shortly after returning home, Taylor surprised Eliza with a real engagement ring during dinner on their apartment’s balcony.

True to their carefree, yet graceful nature, Taylor and Eliza curated a Santa Fe wedding that was both perfectly modern, yet utterly timeless. From their authentic vintage postcards used for table numbers to their effortless style (take a peek at Taylor’s green suit paired with Eliza’s unreal bridal gown) to incorporating a Southern musician into their day, these two created a day so very unlike anything we’ve ever laid eyes on before. We especially loved how Eliza and Taylor paid tribute to the Tewa people and their ancient land, Oga Po'geh, that present-day Santa Fe sits on during their ceremony.

Taylor and Eliza couldn’t have dreamed up a more genuinely stunning day than this little piece of heaven. We’re forever in it for magical days and the lovers that make them happen.
