Elena + Curtis, an Enchanting Santa Fe Wedding

Darling lovebirds Curtis and Elena brought the dreamiest party to New Mexico this September with an incredibly enchanting celebration at La Fonda on the Plaza. These Colorado cuties curated a day full of stunning views, loved ones, and absolute newlywed bliss to make for an unforgettable Sunday in Santa Fe.

Even though they call Denver home, Curtis and Elena met over a decade ago in their hometown of Las Cruces. Both of these babes were in high school band together and after initially crossing paths in 2006, they officially became friends in 2008. After spending many days of hanging out, swapping iPod playlists, and getting lunch together, Elena and Curtis leaned all the way into the spark they felt for one another. Even though they separated briefly during college, these two couldn’t stay away from one another and eventually both graduated from The University of New Mexico together. After spending lots of time growing together in The Land of Enchantment (and earning deeply impressive degrees), these hunnies moved north for Elena to complete her medical residency at The University of Colorado. They are currently living and loving their dream life with their dog, Hugo, in The Mile High City.

For their wedding, Elena and Curtis created a modern, colorful, and completely stunning Southwestern day. They incorporated a ton of New Mexico inspired touches to their wedding (just peep those invitations and mariachi band) in addition to unique details including Curtis’ mint green suit, bright florals from Two Baroque Girls, Elena’s glittering Bridal gown, and the sweetest little Star Wars inspired wedding cake. We loved exploring some of the dreamiest, coziest places on the Santa Fe Plaza with these cuties just as the softest golden hour began to roll into the city. Curtis and Elena ended the night partying with so many of their favorite people and it was truly the most incredible celebration of love and pure happiness.

Cheers to a love that cannot be stopped by time, distance, or anything life throws at it. We know these two are going to have the most amazing new chapter together.

Jake + Carly, a Dazzling La Posada Wedding

Pacific Northwest hunnies Jake and Carly waited several years to tie the knot, but when they finally made it official this May, it was a dream beyond dreams. These cuties brought the most chic, elegant garden-inspired celebration to the heart of the Southwest and we’re the biggest fans of it all.

Carly and Jake first met almost a decade ago while they were both attending journalism school in Chicago and very quickly fell for each other. After moving to Washington D.C. for several years, these babes packed up everything and moved all the way to Portland, OR on the other side of the country. During their roadtrip to the West Coast, Carly and Jake just happened to pass through Santa Fe and immediately fell in love with The City Different (but more on that later!). Jake and Carly got engaged in March of 2020 (right as the pandemic was starting) and began planning their wedding from home.

While they were envisioning their big day, Jake and Carly remembered how much they adored Santa Fe and ultimately decided that there was no where else they’d rather get hitched. Two years after their engagement, these cuties finally got their amazing celebration with some of the most unreal details around. With the magic of Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals, Carly and Jake’s day was gorgeous and seamless from start to finish. The angels from Viva Flora created a ceremony chuppah unlike any we’ve seen before and Funky Olive Designs created an invitation suite and paper goods straight from heaven. We loved catching the last few rays of sunlight with these angels as they danced in the middle of a little Santa Fe street. Every inch of this day was a true celebration of love, beauty, and pure joy. We’re forever drooling over all the little touches Carly and Jake brought to their wildly beautiful spring afternoon.

We’re forever the biggest fans of the sweetest lovers and all of the pretty wedding day details, cheers to married life Carly and Jake!!!

Jojo + Nhi, a Breathtaking Cancun Wedding

If there were ever two souls that were meant to be together, we would say Nhi and Jojo are them. These angels took their love story to the next level down in Cancun, Mexico with a celebration truly unparalleled by anything we’ve witnessed before.

Jojo and Nhi met way back in 2018 through mutual friends at a downtown block party in Albuquerque, NM and since that fateful night, these two have been crushing on each other so freaking hard. Over the years they continued to fall more and more in love with one another, and eventually started a new chapter when Jojo proposed Nhi in 2021.

Knowing how much they wanted a wedding that reflected some many of the things they love, including travel, Nhi and Jojo took the party to Finest Playa Mujeres in Cancun and let’s just say this late May soirée was one for the books. True to her elegant, effortless style, Nhi’s wedding gown and cape, whipped up by the one and only Terese Rose Designs, was the perfect mix of modern and luxe vibes. And if this angel couldn’t be any more stunning, Nhi and her girls also did all of their own hair and makeup (we need them to teach us their ways asap). After an emotional first look, the most incredible ceremony (complete with a “shot boy” passing out shooters down the aisle and music by Drake), and of course dreamy romantics surrounded by the most stunning tropical surroundings, Jojo and Nhi topped of their wedding with an all night PARTY. With the most incredible mix by our fave dude Tony of Cutmaster Music, these lovebirds ushered in married life in the most unreal way possible.

We are so deeply enamored by not only Jojo and Nhi’s commitment and love for one another, but by the incredible sense of community these two have formed with all of their friends and family from both near and far. Forever the biggest fans of these babes and the way they let their love shed light on everyone they know.

Will + Lindsay, a Cozy Downtown Santa Fe Winter Wedding

Sweet lovers Will and Lindsay got to celebrate their much anticipated new chapter with all of their friends and family at the coziest downtown Santa Fe fête. We love the way these two fully embraced the Southwestern winter season for truly one of the most beautiful celebrations around.

These cuties have been together for almost a decade and tied the knot back in October of 2021 with an incredibly intimate ceremony at the iconic Pecos National Historical Site on the prettiest fall afternoon. A few months later, Lindsay and Will brought all of their favorite people together for an unforgettable bash in The City Different.

We adored the way these hunnies mixed sleek modern details with charming Southwestern touches for a wonderfully unique and elegant evening. From running around the holiday decor-adorned Santa Fe Plaza for romantics to catching some dreamy balcony views during golden hour to absolutely dancing the night away, every second of this day was a true celebration of joy and love.

Cheers on the latest chapter in a truly beautiful love story, we loved being a tiny piece of it all!

Owen + Amelia, a Heavenly Old Town Wedding

After nearly 3 whole years of waiting, longtime sweethearts Owen and Amelia finally got to celebrate their wedding surrounded by their family and friends on the most perfect spring day. These lovers created the most magical day in Old Town and dang, was it one for the books.

Owen and Amelia first met several years ago through a mutual friend while both living in Boston. At first, they both thought that their relationship wouldn’t turn into anything serious, but the universe had other plans and these two slowly fell head-over-heels in love. In 2018, Owen proposed to Amelia in their kitchen right before Christmas and the rest is history.

We met these cuties all the way back in spring of 2019 for their engagement session and were so honored to be a part of their tiny elopement in 2020 when the pandemic forced them to postpone their big day. Nearly a year later, Owen and Amelia got to reaffirm their love and commitment for each other in the presence of their loved ones and tbh it was a day that was worth the wait. Leaning into the soft garden vibe of their dreamy venue, Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town, Amelia and Owen’s wedding highlighted all their delicate details and classic romance. From the unreal bridal gown that Amelia’s mom made by hand for her (!!!!!!!) to the stunning florals crafted by our friends at Floral Elegance right down to their sweet first dance to “I Found You” by Alabama Shakes, this heavenly day was everything and more. Seeing these two finally having their dream wedding (along with their cutie pup Penny!) was beyond special to us.

We adored every single second of Amelia and Owen’s journey together, cheers to a lifetime of love angels!!!

ALP Team Picks - Bre's Fave Weddings

Last, but certainly not least, is our girl Bre and her favorite weddings! Known for her stunning work with our team as one of the best second shooters on the planet (and the boss babe of her own newborn photography business), she stepped it up and beautifully lead shot five of our weddings in addition to a bunch of our engagement sessions (including the most amazing Central Park session in NYC)! She’ll be back this season as both a lead and a second photog, and she shared her favorite weddings from 2019. We can’t wait to see how she captures some of our lovers in 2020 and allll we can say is #gobrego

Emilee and Ben:
I loved the style that Emilee had for her wedding. The slick hair back with the bold red lip is something you don’t see often and she pulled it off so well. The groom is a golfer and they got married on the golf course which was a great personal touch. This couple grew up together, grew apart and came back together at a family gathering and now they are spending their future together and it was the most precious thing to see and everyone could feel it in the room. Their food was also the best food I had!

Laura and Conner:
I loved ending the year with this wedding at Los Pablanos. The color palette she chose was gorgeous with the landscape. I love ho laid back they were and having the cake cutting and toasts in the library made for an intimate setting. They braved the cold during their portraits and the fur she had for some of her portraits was stunning and fun to incorporate. They also had a perfect balance of having an intimate gathering and having a party.


Anna and John:
This New York couple was so cool and so down to earth, and we laughed a lot with them. She absolutely nailed her look for her wedding in that stunning Vera Wang gown, and then in their true style, she changed into a more dancing dress when they got announced at the reception. It was Gucci mixed with Granola vibe and I was there for it. It was quirky and elegant and so much fun.

Ben + Emilee, a Stunning Sandia Event Center Wedding

Long before Ben and Emilee said “I do” on the prettiest fall day, they met when they were just kids. Even though they’re seven years apart, these two soulmates still found each other and finally made it last name official this past year!

Growing up with their families being very close, Ben and Emilee have known each for a very long time (their dads even went to elementary school together!), but they didn’t hit it off until later in life. In between Emiliee’s junior and senior years of college, while her and Ben were living together in the same town, Ben told his future wifey that he wanted to propose. Despite fancy dinners and long, romantic walks (planned by Emilee), nothing happened! Finally, during a casual night in of grubbin’ on Jimmy John’s, right there in their living room Ben popped the question.

For these cuties, not only was a dreamy venue with views of the Sandia mountains important, but they wanted to have an all out party for their loved ones! Sandia Event Center was the obvious choice and they included so many lovely details from bespoke invitations by our pals at Funky Olive, to custom Nike reception shoes for Emliee, to Ben’s super unique suit jacket (that had a print of skiers in it!). Ben and Emilee kept their ceremony short and sweet — while incluing Emilee’s childhood pastor as officiant for the ceremony), snagged some of the prettiest dang romantics during golden hour, and then threw the bash of the century allllll night long! We wish that we could post every single photo from this day, it was nothing short of amazing and a total blast!

Congrats Ben and Emilee, we love you two and your absolutely FAIRYTALE love story!!

Jake + Angela, a Sandia Wedding

Even though Jake and Angela just tied the knot this September we’ve known these sweet lovers, and their two precious daughters for many years! Getting to hang out with them on their big day was a huge honor for our team and was such a amazing day to be a part of, we loved getting to capture the love of a couple that feels like family to us!

Jake and Angela met at the end of 2012 while Jake was out celebrating a work promotion and Angela was celebrating the completion of her Masters degree. Jake asked Angela to dance (with the wax on wax off dance) and the rest is history. Over the past 7 years, these two have had two beautiful daughters, welcomed three dogs into their home, and bought a house together! For them, this wedding was the cherry on top of an already beautiful life!

Although we haven’t captured a wedding Sandia Event Center since 2016, Jake and Angela’s big day was the perfect welcome back. Everything from this couple’s gorgeous navy and burgandy details, to dreamy romantics during blue hour to a first dance with their daughters to “Blessed” by Thomas Rhett was nothing short of perfection.

Adam + Jill, a Los Poblanos Wedding

Adam and Jill, two lovers that we can’t say enough sweet things about, made it last name official early this past August at Los Poblanos in the heart of the Albuquerque North Valley. We are so grateful for these two and their open, kind hearts who rolled with the tides on their wedding day!

Adam and Jill met through mutual friends after Jill moved to New Mexico from Chicago and after their first date, they knew it was meant to be! Adam proposed to Jill on vacation in Chicago and the rest was history!

On their wedding day it rained, it poured, and then it rained some more, but despite the change of plans Adam and Jill made the day about their love story and their loved ones! Along with her gorgeous Pronovias gown and sweet Kate Spade Keds, Jill’s details were so simple and elegant, yet sooo fun. We adored their framed, glass signage and all of the subtle purple accents these lovers tucked into their day. And can we just say that capturing they romantics was just a dream? We love seeing sweet souls who are so in love where nothing else matters come wedding day! Still over the moon about these two and their love for each other and their families. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Harrington, we love you guys!!!

Wedding Inspo - A Wedding Band or A Wedding DJ?

There are soooo many incredible wedding day choices to make before you walk down the aisle and say “I do”, but perhaps one of the easier & more exciting decisions is whether to hire a band or a DJ for your big day. Here’s a few different things to consider when choosing between the two.

Things to Consider

- Wedding Style: What type of wedding are you planning? Is it going to be an elegant destination affair? A big band or a string quartet might be your best bet. Are you throwing an all night dance party after your vows? An experienced DJ that knows all of your favorite tunes & can bring in some fun light features might be a good choice.

- Cost: While both can be a costly investment (rightfully so), bands tend to be on the more expensive side due to the nature of live music. DJs tend to be the less costly option, but it’s important to find one that is truly experienced and will listen to all your requests.

- Type of Music: Bands can be great when you want musicians that can amp up an entire room and bring their own unique personalities to their music and performance. Plus, there’s just something magical about having live, in-your-face music. Meanwhile, DJs are able to play a large variety of songs/take requests from guests, & create an awesome ambiance all while working as stellar MCs for the entire reception.. Something that even the most amazing live bands sometimes lack in (taking the lead role of mc).

Featured DJs - Cutmaster Music, Dream Factory Productions

Fave Weddings - Bre's Picks

Our third photog sister in our little squad is the amazingly talented Bre who, in addition to owning her own newborn/maternity photography company, also second shoots and sometimes lead shoots for our team! She’s helped us capture some of the most fun weddings the last few years and she’s shouted out her fave moments here on the blog!

Shaun + Jessie (coming soon to our blog) at Sarabande Bed and Breakfast- I love how laid back this couple was. They had a small intimate wedding in a gorgeous venue, a bed and breakfast. Their guests were really sweet and fun as well! My favorite guests at a wedding.

Randy + Elizabeth at the Santa Fe Opera- This wedding was very classy, and I loved it! It had the most gorgeous view, and the navy/rose gold combo was to die for!

Scott + Leanne at SITE Santa Fe- This wedding was the most fun of the year. With Scott being in the creative industry as well, he had a lot of image ideas and they were fun! Plus, the fun black and white wall at their venue was so awesome.

Sarah + Oriol at Gerald Peters Gallery - These out of town lovers just had the most beautiful, intimate unique wedding because their ceremony and reception were both at an art museum. I loved it, and his accent!

Mack + Shelby, a Winter Wedding at Four Seasons Santa Fe

Mack and Shelby, where do we even begin? These babes actually went to the same high school, however their paths didn’t cross until they both attended college at Texas A&M. After dating for a bit, the pair separated, only to later on realize how special they were to each other! They reunited and later on decided that it was a forever thing. Mack, being major #husbandgoals, told us that not only is Shelby beautiful and caring, but that she is truly the light of his life. We don’t have enough words (or enough tears) for this sweet little love story!

These babes tied the knot in December 2018 at our favorite, cozy mountain getaway, Four Seasons Santa Fe. With a touch of magic and pure boho glam from Amy and her team at For the Love Events and Rust Vintage, this day was out of this world. We still wish we could keep the velvet accent furniture and neon sign from this day! Our gals at Floriography Flowers came through with the perfect moody, winter floral arrangement and made sure that every single detail was amazing. And besides the amazing design, Mack and Shelby made sure that all of their guests (and vendors too!) were well taken care of for the entire night. These little lovers helped us close out our 2018 wedding season in the most perfect way! Congrats Mr and Mrs Paulson, we love y’all so much!

Jon + Paige, a Colorful Los Poblanos Wedding

Last November we were so beyond thrilled to head back to our favorite Albuquerque gem, Los Poblanos, for an intimate blush-toned wedding with sweet lovers Jon and Paige. Every second of this sweet day was precious and downright magical!

Long before their wedding, Paige let us know that her and Jon wanted a day that would focus less on all of the usual wedding day details and more on their family and close friends from all over the country. For her, the most important part of the day to capture was all of their loved ones celebrating together for the first time which is one of our favorite things to hear from brides!

Even though details weren’t the focus of this incredibly special day, Paige still managed to awe us with her gorgeous, off-the-shoulder, blush wedding gown and absolutely killer, bright florals from our gal pals over at Viva Flora. And, per usual, our girl Genica Lee made sure that this stunning bride looked absolutely angelic on the first day of being a Mrs.

Jon and Paige, you two were an absolute treat to capture, we’re sooo grateful to be a small part of your new beginning! Cheers to you lovely babes!
