Erin, a Dreamy Bridal Boudoir

A few weeks before saying “I do” to the love of her life, our sweet angel Erin met up with us for the dreamiest bridal boudoir session of all time. This beauty seriously has zero bad angles, we’re so obsessed with everything Erin is and does.

Paired with some of the prettiest bridal details and soft studio lighting, this boudoir session was one for the books. Our gal Ashley captured lovely Erin at our favorite little studio spot, Lighthouse Studio, and we were overwhelmed by all of the subtle, yet gorgeous beauty!

Cheers to all the dreamy, wonderful brides and the sweetest bridal sessions!!!

Bridal Inspo - a Whimsical, Fairytale Inspired Shoot

Over the past year, we’ve been beyond lucky to create so many dreamy styled weddings and elopements, but we knew we wanted to capture a divine yet whimsical bridal session at the start of spring. We teamed up with some of our fave local vendors for a blush-toned vision we probably won’t stop daydreaming about ever.

For this little fairytale day, we decided to have the perfect mix of soft, delicate bridal details and lush, bright florals. Our friends at A Beautiful Theme created the most out-of-this-world rainbow bouquet that perfectly contrasted the dreamiest blush bridal gown from Raw Golden Rentals and the most regal jewelry from local jewelry queens, Ooh Aah Jewelry. For the most stunning bridal glam our angels at Something Ginger made our bride, Brittany, look like an absolute goddess with a modern, yet elegant bridal glow. To top it all off, we captured everything at our fave little natural light spot in town, Lighthouse Studio.

Even though our season is ramping up again, we know that more divine days like this are ahead of us in 2021, we can’t wait to share even more of the magic!

Wedding Inspo - Edgy Weddings

We’ll always be the biggest fans of super glam, classic weddings and of those incredibly beautiful, chic, boho weddings, but we have a whole lot of love for those badass, do-whatever-you want, completely unique edgy celebrations. These days have been some of the wildest, most stellar days around and its not hard to see why we’re obsessed with them.

Edgy nuptials not only let couples do something special and different for their day, but these days also make anything possible. You want to wear a painted leather jacket for your special day? Check. Do you want a moody, insanely unique bouquet? Check. And do you wanna ride off into the sunset with the love of your life on a motorcycle? Also check. Everything about these days leaves us feeling so inspired and like the sky is truly the limit.

Cheers to doing the damn thing however the heck you want to and making it the most killer way to start forever with your lover.

We kicked off 2021 in the most divine, next-level way with this gorgeously chic styled bridal session. From start to finish, this day was beyond perfection and one that we’ll never get over.

In the spirit of a new year, we decided to fully lean into a few stunning wedding trends that we’re hoping see take off this season.

2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.

Juliet, a Divine Styled Bridal Session

If there’s one thing more magical than a bridal session, its a New Mexico bridal session with that dark, yet gorgeous monsoon weather. We braved a tiny storm with Juliet, the loveliest little bride, for one of the prettiest evenings in the desert.

Our girl Alanna Garcia of Betty Rose by Alanna put together the most stunning styled bridal session and when she asked us to capture all of the beauty, we were over the moon! Our graceful Juliet glowed just a little extra thanks to Alanna’s beautiful makeup and Savannah’s elegant hair design (complete with the tiniest little floral details). Our sweet friend Darlene of Bridal Elegance by Darlene let us capture the most exquisite, romantic bridal gown, complete with removable sleeves and the lightest, most beautiful tulle fabric around. To top it all off, A Beautiful Theme created a truly otherworldly, moody bouquet that we’re still thinking about to this day.

We love love love getting to capture visions that our vendor friends dream up, we are so excited for all the beauty that’s still to come!!!

Maria, Ethereal Bridal Boudoir

Last month we spent a few hours in absolute bridal boudoir HEAVEN with one of the dreamiest vendor teams in the universe. It was everything we could have ever imagined, from ethereal lingerie to stunning glam, this summer day was beyond divine.

Although we don’t capture as much bridal boudoir as we’d like to, 2020 has given us the unique opportunity to tap into the smaller, more personal shoots we adore so much. One of our forever muses, Maria, once again graced the front of our cameras and it was beyond what we had daydreamed it would be.

Wearing the most elegant bridal lingerie by Terese Rose Designs, complete with a stunning slip and beautifully delicate robe, and glamed up by our queens Diana and Kata of Something Ginger, this bridal goddess made our vision come to life. We captured this incredibly lovely session at Casita de Cacti, an Airbnb hosted by Kata Baron, and even got to include some of the world’s most gorgeous florals by Floral Fetish. We can’t get over how that New Mexico sunshine came into the space so very softly, giving Maria that otherworldly, ethereal bridal glow we love so much.

We’re forever blown away by this day, its simplicity, and its out of this world beauty.

Wedding Inspo - Bridal Sessions

One of the many aspects of weddings that we absolutely adore, and for good reasons, is bridal style. From the stunning gowns to the divine glam to spending a little extra time getting those bridal portraits there’s so much to love. And because of these amazing little details the next best thing for us when it comes to brides are bridal sessions.

Whether its an individual session captured before or after the big day or extra time carved into the actual wedding for the bride to have some solo time in front of the camera, we can’t tell you how special and downright dreamy these sessions are for everyone! We’re lucky enough to capture some of the most beautiful brides in the Southwest and even more fortunate to get to work with so many talented glam teams who just know how to make brides shine from the inside out!

From actual bridal sessions to styled shoots to elopements to big wedding days, so many gorgeous brides have graced our cameras that we couldn’t help but share their beauty on the blog! We love getting to capture bridal sessions in all of their different forms and can’t wait for even more stunners!

Fatima | Regal Chic Vineyard Bridal Shoot | Casa Rondena | Albuquerque, NM Photography

A couple weeks ago, some of Albuquerque's most lovely and talented vendors got together and created absolute magic. The inspiration came from the timeless trend of illusion lace wedding gowns seen on the runway this season (also seen on Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian). It was a dream to photograph such a stunning, one of kind piece designed by Jasmine Bridal.

The dress, stunning Fatima, enchanting florals, out of this world beautiful diamonds, then adding a twist of classic yet bold bridal hair & makeup, plus the ever so gorgeous vineyard we shot at and the outcome is absolutely majestic.
