There are so many dreamy details that go into a couple’s day to make it special so it’s no surprise that we want to highlight one that deserves a moment: wedding gowns. Our brides have donned some show stopping stunners from classic, brocade ballgowns to chic, sheath silhouettes and we are here for all of it!
Our hope is that all brides find their perfect dress, one that makes them feel like a true expression of themselves for their big day. With seemingly endless options of necklines, lengths, and fabric it is such an exciting moment to say ‘yes’ to the dress. And lucky us, we get to capture every detail. From hanging and waiting to be worn to our brides stepping into it and twirling the night away, there is room for every style in our hearts and lenses.
We are swooning over how these brides rocked their dresses. It’s giving queen energy and we bow down to the gown.

Wedding Inspo - a Serene Stakeout Taos Wedding
To kick off 2022, we knew that we had to do something big and beautiful, so we took the party to Taos for the dreamiest Sunday evening at The Stakeout Taos. This modern, neutral-toned, utterly romantic day was one that we’ll never stop falling for over and over again.
Our little daydream brought together so many of our beloved vendor friends and one of our fave couples of all time. From the most elegant wedding day styles from Moonlight Bridal to unreal wedding glam by the Betty Rose Team to the most gorgeous florals by our queen Renegade Floral to the world’s most adorable heart-shaped cake by Planty Sweet, every single detail was one to drool over. Not only did we get to capture all the beautiful ceremony and reception moments, we also got to finish off the evening with beautiful rooftop romantics. And to top it all off, this serene January day brought the most divine weather and some pretty killer views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains on the horizon.
We absolutely adore days when we get to let our creativity flow and hang out with some of the best freaking people in the industry, here’s to more stellar shoot days in 2022!

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.

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!
