Jeremy + Kaite, a Dreamy Los Poblanos Engagement

As if our 2022 couples couldn’t get any dreamier, Jeremy and Kaite walked into our lives and dang are they an absolute joy to know. These Alaskan angels are tying the knot this fall at Los Poblanos and we were so thrilled to spend the prettiest evening with them.

These cuties first met at a huge pharmaceutical dinner in 2017 in Anchorage , Alaska and even though they caught each others eye, Jeremy and Kaite did officially meet for another 4-6 weeks at another dinner. Jeremy, who was absolutely intent on getting Kaite’s number, finally made the connection happen and soon these two were on their first date. After a few years together, living with their fur baby Toulouse and creating their own indoor jungle in Alaska, these two started a new chapter when Jeremy proposed to Kaite at Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park in Hawaii.

We can’t wait to see these babes again this September for the most intimate truly divine wedding day!!!

Solve + Alex, a Festive Wedding at La Mesita Ranch

In the middle of this warm, yet gorgeous summer, Solve and Alex invited us to capture their dreamy nuptials in northern New Mexico. These lovebirds colorful day at La Mesita Ranch is one that we’ll truly remember forever.

This stunner of a wedding started way out west at La Mesita Ranch, a property tucked away near Nambe Falls and known for its breathtaking views and unique touches. With a little bit of magic from the Just Lovely Weddings team and the floral goddesses at Manmade and Sage, the details from this day were truly unmatched. Our dream bride Alex combined the best of classic wedding glam with boho details through her chic wedding gown from Ann Matthews Bridal and her stunning glam by Betty Rose by Alanna while Solve looked extra sleek in an all black tux.

For their stellar ceremony, these cuties included a larger than life floral arch filled with the most unique florals and the sweetest little petal toss. And to top it all off, Alex and Solve’s reception had so much damn beauty. From the incredible lounges by Darling Details to the divine table settings to the most out-of-this-world music by local band Le Chat Lunatique, this July day was perfection to the next level. If all of those touches weren’t enough, we were blown away by these lovers romantic first dance and surprise tambourine party with all of their guests on the dance floor.

We’ll forever be obsessed with the way Alex and Solve brought together all of their loved ones for the most killer summer party, cheers to newlywed life babes!!!

Wedding Inspo - Winter Weddings + Elopements

The temperature might be getting more and more chilly, but we know that winter weddings and elopements always bring the heat. Even though we don’t capture a ton of cold weather celebrations, the ones that we get to be a part of are so incredibly divine.

Winter nuptials are not only insanely beautiful, they’re also deeply serene. From the cozy, romantic little moments to the way this time of year just ushers in those quiet, intimate gatherings, weddings in the coldest part of the year are beyond enchanting.

Keeping our fingers crossed for even more of these magical days in the future, we’re forever in love with celebrations of love in the middle of winter.

Culture Club - a Captivating Farm and Table Styled Shoot

If there’s one thing we’re obsessed with, its all the dreamy styled shoots in the hidden gems of our sweet Southwestern state. When our queen Jenny of Culture Club Salon dreamed up the most perfect summer shoot at Farm and Table in Albuquerque’s North Valley, we knew it would be an unforgettable day.

On the prettiest August afternoon, we journeyed to into the heart of Albuquerque to capture some of the dreamiest moments. Jenny, Stephanie, and the Culture Club Team created the most incredible glam on three of the most beautiful models ever. We loved the way this day’s neutral toned palette perfectly highlighted all of the hair and makeup goodness that sweet Jenny envisioned for this shoot.

Bring on all the stellar editorial sessions in 2022 and beyond, we’re so freaking down for it all!

Garrett + Kyla, a Romantic Four Seasons Santa Fe Wedding

When New York lovers Garrett and Kyla reached out to us about capturing their wedding in Santa Fe, we knew it was going to be the most elegant soirée to date. These babes brought the most incredible details to New Mexico on beyond perfect June day.

Garrett and Kyla’s Four Seasons Santa Fe celebration brought together the dreamiest East Coast style with some of the prettiest Southwestern touches. Sweet bride Kyla opted for a sleek yet completely stunning Savannah Miller gown with the softest bridal glam, a look that paired so perfectly with Garrett’s stellar custom tux from Michael Andrews Bespoke. And to make things even more amazing, these lovers had the most amazingly colorful florals from the wedding queens at Floriography Flowers alongside custom paper goods (complete with turquoise Zia stamps!!!) from Funky Olive Design.

Besides all of the stunning details these two brought to their unforgettable day, Garrett and Kyla’s wedding was also filled with emotional, downright beautiful moments. After the sweetest first look, these cuties braved a little bit of rain for a heartfelt, joyful ceremony surrounded by their friends and family. We got to steal these two away for an unreal evening of romantics (with a few cocktails!!!!) before they partied the night away with all of their loved ones.

If there’s one thing we’ll never forget, its the way that Garrett and Kyla made their day not only beautiful, but so incredibly intentional. Cheers to all the lovers who bring the best of both worlds to their wedding days, we’re truly head-over-heels for it all!

These cuties first met a long time ago in high school, but sparks didn’t fly between Kevin and Caroline until one college break when they were both home with mutual friends.

Zac + Shelly, a Stunning Hacienda Doña Andrea Wedding

When Austin sweethearts Zac and Shelly celebrated their marriage at Hacienda Doña Andrea this summer, it was definitely one of the most unique, beautiful days out there. These two made their wedding day completely their own and we are so in love with it all.

Zac and Shelly met several years ago through mutual friends and got engaged on New Years Eve of 2018. Zac proposed to Shelly at midnight on the rooftop of Austin Central Library during a New Years bash. Soon after, these cuties just knew that New Mexico was the most perfectly magical place to make it official.

These babes decided on one of our favorite locations on earth, Hacienda Doña Andrea, because of its spectacular views and cozy vibes. And even though they had to push back their special day an entire year, Zac and Shelly still put so much of their own personal style into their beautiful June day. Shelly, who was also the dreamiest bride btw, created almost all of the decor (just peep that insane seating chart and all of the gorgeous reception signage) and it was truly straight out of our wildest boho-southwestern dreams. In addition to adding a ton of unique touches on their day, Shelly and Zac also opted to create some of their traditions, such as walking with each other down the aisle, and getting rid of some of the usual traditions they weren’t in love with (tbh every single couple should do this!). They embraced the moody skies and rain for not only the sweetest romantics, but for the most epic dance party of the summer.

We were so beyond grateful to be tiny part of this extremely special day, cheers to Zac + Shelly forever and ever!!!

Jake + Becky, a Magical Ghost Ranch Wedding

Jake and Becky’s long awaited wedding at Ghost Ranch was an incredible celebration that we’ll truly never forget. These Austin angels brought the best of everything Southwestern glam to northern New Mexico for the most dreamy June day.

Many years before they became husband and wife, Jake and Becky first met in college at The University of Kansas. These two ended up sitting next to each other on their first day of college in a 1000 person lecture hall and have been inseparable ever since. Years later, Jake proposed to Becky with on the prettiest evening with their sweet pup Millie at Ziller Park in her hometown of Austin, TX. These cuties decided that Ghost Ranch was the perfect place to tie the knot after they had both spent lots of time in New Mexico together.

After planning (and then re-planning thanks to covid), Jake and Becky were finally able to start their next chapter together in The Land of Enchantment surrounded by all of their friends and family. They decided to use the colors of the desert and the beautiful expansiveness of Ghost Ranch shape their day. For their ceremony, these lovebirds chose Pot’s Hollow, a secluded area filled with cottonwood trees, to make their “I dos” extra romantic. After making it last name official, we got to roam around this mystical Southwestern landscape for the portraits of our dreams. To top it all off, our design and planning queen Just Lovely Weddings created the most beautiful reception tent filled with soft boho details, dreamy florals by Viva Flora, and the most magical atmosphere to party the night away
