Something Ginger, a Bridal Beauty Collective

Every bride knows that on her wedding day she needs a few special touches to make her day that much more special, from something borrowed to something new. But this year, there’s a unique kind of tradition for brides to add to the start of their new chapters, Something Ginger.

Founded by long time gal pals and ultra talented hair and makeup artists, Diana Rose and Kata Baron, Something Ginger is a bridal collective based out of Albuquerque, NM that aims to provide a unique wedding day experience for every bride out there. With a focus on inner and outer beauty paired with a whole lot of fiery girl power and positive vibes, this squad is looking to not only make brides beautiful, but to spread self-love and confidence to every person they cross paths with this year.

We were beyond excited to be a part of this styled shoot at Terese Romero’s dreamy downtown studio for Something Ginger’s launch this past December. Everything element of this bridal session was absolute perfection, from Terese Romero’s iconic black wedding gown to Darling Details’ velvet chair to our model Maria’s natural elegance to, of course, the beauty expertise of Diana and Kata!

These ginger babes are about to bring a whole new energy to New Mexico and beyond, can’t wait to see all the beauty you lovelies create. Cheers to Something Ginger, truly the start of something wonderful!!!

Wedding Inspo - Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm

Hidden away in Albuquerque’s north valley lies one of the loveliest places on earth, Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm. Dreamy, secluded, and downright otherworldly, this beauty of a venue has quickly become the destination for not only visitors to the Land of Enchantment, but so many lovers including a ton of our brides and grooms.

Every single time we step foot on its grounds, Los Poblanos feels mysterious, beautiful, and teeming with wonder. From spring to winter, weddings here always carry an air of beguiling charm, while still feeling like a cozy home-away-from-home. We’re not sure if the endless garden options for ceremonies or all the little hidden spots we’ve discovered for romantics over the years, but this lavender farm certainly lives up to all of its expectations. And with its amazing wedding day staff, complete with our gal pal Chelsea Martinez as Wedding Coordinator, Los Poblanos is nothing short of an absolute dream come true.

Rain or shine, we’ve captured some of the sweetest, most intimate, tear-worthy moments with some of the most amazing couples around at Los Poblanos. We can’t wait to be back at this stunner of a location many many times this wedding season!!!

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!!
