2021, a Year with ALP

After the truly life changing year the was 2020, we knew that this year was going to be incredibly special as the world finally opened back up for big weddings and celebrations of all kinds. Our 2021 couples filled our cups to the brim with the must stunning days that we’ll cherish for seasons to come.

If going back to a full wedding season wasn’t exciting enough for us, we were also beyond lucky to travel to so many gorgeous new locations this year. From the vast wine country of Austin to the dreamy mountains of Taos to the ever mystic Ghost Ranch to all the new little spaces in Santa Fe, our scenery was far from the ordinary. On top of this, so many of our couples were finally able to celebrate with all of their friends and family, an experience that we will never take for granted ever again.

Cheers to all the new adventures with the best couples in the most stellar of places, we can’t wait for all that 2022 is sure to bring our way.

Chris + Teresa, an Albuquerque Railyards Wedding

In one of the most unique weddings that we've been lucky enough to be a part of, Chris and Teresa were married at the Albuquerque Railyards in a wedding that was an elegantly industrial display. These lovers met in 2012 in Silicon Valley during a chance encounter at an Irish pub.  Two short years later in 2014, Chris proposed to Teresa during a hot air balloon ride at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. They even planned for their wedding to be held on the same day as their engagement in 2016.  While this couple used a lot of amazing vendors, they also did a lot of the little details themselves to make their special day that much more amazing! Their wedding was also featured on WeddingWire
