Newlyweds Arin and Howie radiated joy all day long on their sunny, spring day in May. These angels celebrated their new chapter together with the ever-beloved La Fonda on the Plaza as the most stunning backdrop.
The precursor to these cuties’ perfect wedding day began several years ago with a Bumble match while both were living in Seattle. After realizing that they had found their forever love in one another, Howie planned the most thoughtful, lovely proposal for Arin. They had plans to visit their favorite winery on Marrowstone Island for Arin’s birthday and Howie used this as the perfect excuse to propose (he even had family fly in from Oklahoma and California for the occasion!). After a long COVID-related closure of the winery’s art gallery, Howie coaxed Arin to come take a peek at the stunning space. Upon entering, she was met with flowers, candles, and a romantic proposal among beautiful paintings, two of which they took home as keepsakes. As Arin and Howie were walking hand-in-hand out of the winery, they happened to hear one of their favorite songs playing through the speakers, making this proposal perhaps one of the most kismet moments in time.
Fast forward to their wedding, Arin and Howie decided to seal the deal at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe due to its charming, bohemian energy. These angels filled their wedding day with all things beautiful and sentimental, from their emotional first look to their rooftop ceremony to their little adventure around the plaza for golden hour romantics. After the most stunning day, Arin and Howie were greeted with pure joy and excitement from their loved ones during their reception. These two finished off this momentous occasion by dancing the night away with their precious flower girls, friends, and closest family members. Being able to witness Arin and Howie basking in that newly married love was truly the icing on cake for this sweet spring day.
