As 2022 quietly rolls into its final month, we were lucky enough to spend the most romantic, rainy evening with two of the sweetest lovers at Los Poblanos. This winter evening was one we may never stop thinking about for the next several decades.
Even though rain is usually not the easiest element to work around, we’ve truly embraced it this season as a moment to make love stories even more epic. This enchanting evening was no exception and our team captured some of the most genuine, joyous moments between a pair that is beyond extraordinary together.
We are so thrilled to be a part of these lovers’ incredible new chapter next spring, see you cuties so soon!

Cristo + Shandi, a Winter Proposal
We got to celebrate proposal season this winter this the most beautiful way, with a surprise, snowy proposal in the middle of the woods! We were so excited when Cristo reached out to us about capturing this insanely special moment.
We loved the way this sweet little couples session went from 0 to 100 when Cristo pulled out the most stunning sapphire ring (just look at that beauty of a gem) to ask Shandi for forever. Emotional & intimate evenings like this are some of our favorites to be a part of, we can’t wait for even more proposals with all the sweet couples.

Being based in the gorgeous state of New Mexico has a ton of perks and one of those just happens to be getting to experience all four seasons!
If you know us, you know that our team thrives in all seasons, but winter is a special one for us. We don’t shoot a ton of winter engagements or weddings, but when we do, its some kind of magic. We love any opportunity to frolic through the glistening snow with some cutie couples. And an added bonus, we get to catch our lovers getting extra cozy!
Check out how our lovers have heated up the frosty weather by scrolling through this sweet little post!

Andrew + Deanna, a Holiday Engagement
With 2019 coming to a close and a new wedding season on the horizon, we are sooo anxious to capture all of our stellar 2020 couples in the new year! And we were beyond excited to wrap up this year’s engagement sessions with New Mexico lovers, Deanna and Andrew in sweet Old Town and funky Nob Hill.
These New Mexico babes pulled off the most stunning little December engagement in the ever-festive heart of Albuquerque. In Old Town, we got to capture Andrew and Deanna stealing kisses among quaint adobe buildings, catching golden hour rays on the prettiest balcony, and even getting cozily intertwined in some Christmas lights. And if that wasn’t enough, these two also kept it casual in Nob Hill with some sweet romantics in front of the soon-to-be-iconic Greetings from Burque postcard mural (trust us, you NEED to see this pretty piece of art in person!).
We loved soaking up this gorgeous evening with these lovers, we can’t wait for Andrew and Deanna to tie the knot at Hotel Andaluz in May 2020!!!

Adam + Jill, a Morning Engagement at Los Poblanos
We were super excited to shoot one of our first pre-spring engagements at Los Poblanos, aka our home away from home and the most magical place in Albuquerque. Adam and Jill’s tender relationship was such a treat to work with and we were stoked to not only capture them in their iconic lavender fields, but in Los Poblanos’ bar, and Jill & Adam’s fave hang out spot/bar: El Campo. We can’t can’t wait for more sweet moments with these darling lovers!

Ashwin + Lauren, a Snowy New Mexico Engagement
Earlier this year, we took full advantage of the wild snow storms New Mexico threw at us to capture the ever so sweet and serene Ashwin and Lauren. In something straight out of a movie, these lovebirds, who are also both physicians, met while working night shifts at a hospital in Boston. They slowly fell in love over late night snacks and even did a long distance relationship when Ashwin moved to Philadelphia for a cardiology residency. Lauren mentioned that her and Ashwin not only love laughing and bringing out the best in each other, but they’re also best friends. And after three years of loving each other, they’re soooo ready to make this a forever thing.
These babes will also be setting the bar for Santa Fe weddings sky high this Labor Day weekend with a two day celebration! They’ll kick of their forever with a New Mexico inspired, classic, elegant wedding at the iconic Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi off of the Santa Fe Plaza followed by a vibrant, colorful Hindu celebration (including a groom entrance on a white horse…real life fairytale much?!) in honor of Ashwin’s culture. We can’t even begin to describe just how excited we are for this giant, beautiful weekend!!

Ryan + Jennifer, a Winter Engagement
If there’s one kind of love story we adore, its when couples get set up by friends and instantly hit it off! A co-worker of Ryan and Jennifer played cupid and had these babes accidentally run into each other at a work meeting. Jennifer couldn’t believe how amazing Ryan’s style was (and that someone could love clothes as much as her) and the rest is history!
These lovers braved some pretty chilly weather with us (in the most stylish outfits by the way) and we captured their fun loving spirits in New Mexico’s wintery outdoors. We can’t wait for their laid back, intimate Sarabande Bed and Breakfast wedding later on this year!!

Colton + Lindsey, a Snowy New Mexico Engagement
If there’s anything we love more than a fairytale proposal its when it takes place at Disneyworld! Colton and Lindsey met when they were only 12 years old, but flash forward to October 2018 when Colton popped the question at the Happiest Place on Earth in front of Lindsey’s family. We can’t wait for their dream day this fall at Hyatt Regency Tamaya!
