Josh + Delaney, a Paa-Ko Ridge Wedding

Long before they had the dreamiest mountain top wedding at Paa-ko Ridge Gold Club, Josh and Delaney met through Greek life events in the fall of 2014 at New Mexico State University. These babes instantly clicked, Delaney admired Josh for his quick wit and incredibly caring heart while Josh was immediately smitten with Delaney’s bubbly personality and her genuine beauty. While still in college Josh lavilered Delaney (a Greek life tradition wherein a fraternity brother presents his significant other with a necklace of his frat letters as a symbol of commitment and love. Major swoon right?!) and knew that she was his forever.

In fall of 2017 Josh decided to make it last name official and proposed to Delaney during holiday photos in the Albuquerque foothills. Knowing how important Delaney’s sorority sisters are to her, Josh made sure that he popped the question right before her final college semester so that she could celebrate her engagement with her closest friends.

We ventured up to Par-ko Ridge Golf Club this October to capture these lovers with one of the most genuine, heartfelt days of the year. From opting for pre-ceremony letter reading near each other instead of a first look to having one of their close friends officiate the ceremony to partying all night, Josh and Delaney were so much fun to hang with for one magical day! We also low-key loved when Delaney and her dad, Sam, shared a quick little pre ceremony drink. Cheers Josh and Delaney, we hope marriage is a blast.

P.S. lets throw a giant party in the mountains again soon okay?

Dustin + Ashley, a Los Poblanos Wedding

A love story that started as a sweet high school romance came full circle this past June, when Dustin and Ashley tied the knot on a rainy day at Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm. These lovers became official in 2009 while attending Manzano High School in Albuquerque, NM and shortly after, Dustin proposed in 2011 at the top of the Sandia Peak (in the exact same spot where Ashley became his girlfriend only two years before). Fast forward to almost 9 whole years of love when these darlings threw an incredible party for the people that they love the most! Joined by family and friends from both college and other parts of life, Dustin and Ashley topped off their sweet day with so many incredible details including gorgeous moody florals, a divine Victorian inspired wedding gown, tiny pots of honey for wedding guest favors, and even cufflinks for the groom from former president Barrack Obama. Don’t mind us as we continue to swoon over everything from this day’s color palette to Dustin and Ashley’s ultra romanic portraits around the Los Poblanos grounds! Congrats to the new Mr+Mrs. Chavez, we loved every last little bit of your day!!
