Jojo + Nhi, a Breathtaking Cancun Wedding

If there were ever two souls that were meant to be together, we would say Nhi and Jojo are them. These angels took their love story to the next level down in Cancun, Mexico with a celebration truly unparalleled by anything we’ve witnessed before.

Jojo and Nhi met way back in 2018 through mutual friends at a downtown block party in Albuquerque, NM and since that fateful night, these two have been crushing on each other so freaking hard. Over the years they continued to fall more and more in love with one another, and eventually started a new chapter when Jojo proposed Nhi in 2021.

Knowing how much they wanted a wedding that reflected some many of the things they love, including travel, Nhi and Jojo took the party to Finest Playa Mujeres in Cancun and let’s just say this late May soirée was one for the books. True to her elegant, effortless style, Nhi’s wedding gown and cape, whipped up by the one and only Terese Rose Designs, was the perfect mix of modern and luxe vibes. And if this angel couldn’t be any more stunning, Nhi and her girls also did all of their own hair and makeup (we need them to teach us their ways asap). After an emotional first look, the most incredible ceremony (complete with a “shot boy” passing out shooters down the aisle and music by Drake), and of course dreamy romantics surrounded by the most stunning tropical surroundings, Jojo and Nhi topped of their wedding with an all night PARTY. With the most incredible mix by our fave dude Tony of Cutmaster Music, these lovebirds ushered in married life in the most unreal way possible.

We are so deeply enamored by not only Jojo and Nhi’s commitment and love for one another, but by the incredible sense of community these two have formed with all of their friends and family from both near and far. Forever the biggest fans of these babes and the way they let their love shed light on everyone they know.

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.
