Rigo and Maria tied the knot in March, but we couldn't help posting their sweet engagement from late 2017! Being huge fans of Pixar's film Up, they incorporated a ton of amazing little details into their wedding day. We can't wait to share their soft, elegant wedding soon!

On a chilly December weekend in Santa Fe, we were beyond honored to be a part of Alex and Marcela's three day wedding soirée. With a ton of magic from the ever talented Jessie Baca, this couple hosted not only an incredibly boho chic wedding at Four Seasons Santa Fe, but they also had an intimate bridal dinner adorned with watercolor signage and delicate butterfly details at El Nido and a fun rehearsal dinner at The Cowgirl, making their wedding the ultimate celebration of Santa Fe Culture and cuisine!
On her wedding day, Marcela took her love for the Southwest even further by donning a pair of rustic cowboy boots under her exquisite Claire Pettibone wedding gown. There wasn't a dry eye during this couple's incredibly moving vows and Alex even made vows to Marcela's beyond adorable daughter Izzy (who was so excited that she rushed up to the alter once the couple was pronounced husband and wife). After a round of stunning golden hour photos with the newlyweds and Izzy (and their pup, Cinderella Rainbow— sweetly named by Izzy), these lovers celebrated in style, with everything from cactus cupcakes to New Mexican inspired table settings to an amazing sparkler exit. This wedding was also featured on Carats and Cakes! A huge congrats to these lovers on an incredible wedding weekend and on recently welcoming a new baby into their family, we are beyond thrilled for you two!

Last December we trekked up to the mountains for a magical winter session with Sam and Brittany. Besides having the most beautiful bling and incredible cold weather style, these two were the sweetest to capture! Golden hour light literally makes snow glisten and we were so thankful to get to know this adorable pair.

Last fall we were lucky enough to capture Josh + Roushan's stunningly unique wedding at Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm. The pair, who had been together for about 4 years before getting engaged, celebrated with a simple and elegant ceremony adorned with bold colors and amazing little details. In addition to being an absolutely stunning bride, Roushan even sang and recored the couple's first dance song as a surprise for her new husband! Congrats you two, hope you're enjoying married life with your fur babies!!!

Walter and Charmayne gave us all of the fall vibes with their sun-drenched, golden hour engagement session. And being total suckers for turquoise jewelry and ornate belt buckles, we couldn't help but fall in love with their subtle, yet charming Southwestern style details. Cheers to this wonderful couple (who just recently tied the knot — congrats you two)!!!

On a fairytale October day, Duncan and Tatianna officially tied the knot at one of our treasured Santa Fe venues, La Fonda on the Plaza. It was love at first sight for this sweet couple who met in London and eloped just 10 months later! They decided to celebrate in a big way with an incredible party for all of their loved ones in the bride's home state of New Mexico (officially giving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle competition for the most amazing American /English wedding).
Moody fall florals, a stunning sheath dress, and incredible American Flag/Union Jack cookies made this day one for the books, and one that we'll hold close to our heart. Family and friends from both, all over the United States and England not only experienced the eclectic city of Santa Fe, but they were also treated to the Albuquerque International Ballon Fiesta and a first hand taste of some true New Mexican cuisine.
In the summer of 2018, we were over the moon when one of Tatianna and Duncan's stunning romantic photos, taken in a little hidden Santa Fe alleyway, was selected as the New Mexico Cover of Rocky Mountain Bride! This wedding was also featured by RMB earlier this year as a "Classic Santa Fe Wedding at La Fonda". A huge congrats to these stunners, thank you for letting us be a part of your world for one magical fall day!

If there’s one thing we absolutely adore, its moody, ultra romantic fall engagement sessions! We spent a gorgeous, golden hour drenched evening capturing lots of magic with Josue and Brandy.

Once in a while we are lucky enough to come across love stories that defy all odds and that truly make us believe in the power of love. Last year Crystal and Amy's story was just that and it was a story that defied the odds. These two beauties met by chance at a mutual friend's party in Denver, CO despite the fact that they were both living in Albuquerque, NM at the time. Amy and Crystal both had the same lingering feeling, a pull that could only be fate bringing them together. Eventually, after being together for a little over a year, even after Amy had been relocated to Tucson, AZ due to her job in the United States Air Force, Amy proposed to Crystal during a gorgeous summer sunset in the desert. And Crystal, of course, said yes!! They celebrated with an incredible fall wedding at Los Poblanos last year with moody florals, a beyond cool wedding party, and the dreamiest wedding gown (that Crystal worn like an absolute queen).
This couple's love story was featured on Love Inc and we couldn't help but gush over these lovers' words about one another. Crystal even mentioned that she just knew Amy was her soulmate after seeing her laugh and hearing her voice for the first time. We're so beyond lucky to photograph so many amazing couples in our gorgeous home state of New Mexico, and Amy + Crystal were a wonderful, subtle reminder that true love is out there, you only need to have an open heart.

Last September we were sooo excited to be a part of Sam and Catie's rainy, yet downright beautiful Los Poblanos wedding. This couple chose to have an amazing, soft, natural toned wedding to compliment Los Poblanos' gorgeous greenery. Amid Renegade Floral's stellar arrangements and bouquets , Catie's bridesmaids' mix and match dresses, and a simple yet sweet floral cake, the love from this couple was easily the most incredible wedding day detail. We were in absolute tears over their post ceremony moments in Los Poblanos' grand library and Catie's father gave an incredibly heartfelt speech that we may never forget. Sam and Catie know how to throw a party and had everyone dancing and smiling through the night! Congrats to the Walkers, we adored your early fall wedding!

On an overcast day in Santa Fe last September, Loren + Julia braved the rain for their incredibly beautiful Four Seasons Santa Fe wedding. From Julia's touching angel pin for her soon-to-be-husband in honor of his late mother to their super emotional first look, these two still have us in our feelings nearly a year later!!! This day's soft, yet detailed accents including a unique hand-drawn invitation suite and matching signs, the bride's downright stunning Watters' gown, lush bridesmaids flower crowns, succulents as guest gifts, and an incredible marble wedding cake had us in a dream! Congrats to the Vargas, we were sooo honored to be a part of your happily ever after!

Although it was one of the smallest weddings we've photographed lately, Adam and Cecille's day in Santa Fe was full of heart and incredibly sweet, family-centered moments. These lovers decided that even though they wanted a traditional church ceremony, they still wanted to throw in a more modern trend and do a first look before tying the knot! After saying "I do" at The Church of the Holy Faith, Adam and Cecille headed to La Fonda on the Plaza to celebrate their new life together with 30 of their closest family members. We loved capturing this sweet pair and their intimate day!

It was a serene September day when Patrick and Sydnie said "I do" on La Fonda on the Plaza's gorgeous terrace in the heart of Santa Fe, NM! They followed it up with an EPIC dance party to celebrate their new chapter. These lovers have been together for over 4 years and were beyond excited to finally become husband and wife. Not only did they have a gorgeous, neutral toned wedding, but they also included their two sweet pups in the festivities. Congrats to the Baca's, it was amazing to be a part of their phenomenal day!

Braden and Emmaly said yes to being together forever at Los Poblanos, aka the dreamiest inn and lavender farm in New Mexico. Amid deep color florals, whimsical details, and the cutest band of flower girls, these lovers officially became the Perks! They surrounded themselves with close friends, family, and a small bridal party to celebrate their new life together (Emmaly even planned every part of her wedding herself!). They're first look was one of the most emotional and wonderful ones we've ever witnessed and the sparkler exit was next level magical. Congrats to these sweet lovers, we had an amazing time capturing your day.
