Ben + Katy, a Spanish Inspired Santa Fe Wedding

Ben and Katy, one of the sweetest couples out there, share a love story that most people only dream about. They met in the fifth grade (Katy shared that she even remembers how goofy Ben was at that age!) and have spent the last ten years together, both knowing that they wanted to be together forever! While planning, they decided to to have a super cozy, intimate wedding in the heart of the southwest, Santa Fe. This couple loves to travel and they knew they wanted a destination wedding that was not only close to home, but one full of culture that it felt like a whole different world. Influenced by her recent travels to Spain, Katy found her heart set on Santa Fe due to its colorful, rich history and its ties to Spanish colonialism. With 50 of their closest friends and family, Ben and Katy tied the knot at Hacienda Corta Caro in an early summer wedding that can only described as pure magic. From dreamy, watercolor  invitations to including their fur baby Finley in their ceremony to live flamenco dancers to super amazing late night s’mores, Ben and Katy fulfilled all of our Santa Fe wedding wishes!

Glenn + Kalie, a Four Hills Backyard Wedding Albuquerque, NM

A blog preview of the most tender and sweetest celebration of all, Glenn and Kalie's wedding! I'm absolutely smitten with backyard weddings, and this one was no exception...

Tons of sweet rustic details like the custom wood signage, baby's breath and mason jars.. It was the perfect representation of Glenn and Kalie's simple but sweet personalities. Their day was complete with bright blue skies for the ceremony, a nice overcast for their portraits, and the perfect drizzle during the reception! 

They were so happy and so in love, it was truly incredible to witness! Glenn and Kalie, your day was amazing, thank you for letting me be a part of it! I’m so excited to share my favorite images from their perfect wedding day! Cheers to the newlyweds!
