While our wedding seasons are always filled with the most gorgeous, larger-than-life celebrations, we are simply enamored with stunning, intimate weddings. These quaint little days have such a hold on us that we simply had to give all of the reasons why choosing a tiny wedding could be the dreamiest decision of all.
1) Intention
While we love that big weddings help everyone invited feel included, there’s something about just a handful of the most important people in your life gathering to celebrate your love. For intimate weddings, you and your babe get to be more intentional with the time you spend with your loved ones and soak in all the joy.
2) Location
We know that large, traditional weddings can take place anywhere in the world, but a tiny wedding can make it even easier to travel to a remote location with your favorite people. By narrowing down the guest list to a small group, planning becomes easier and you’ll feel less guilty about your loved ones traveling for your celebration. Addtionally, some of the sweetest locations out there can sometimes only manage to accommodate a handful of guests, making an intimate wedding ideal.
3) Money
One of the biggest issues that couples run into when planning a wedding is the question of budget. However, by only inviting a select amount of guests, you can focus on spending money on the elements that are the most important to you and your lover, as opposed to paying for dinner for one hundred guests or more or spending money on elements that may not be important to you. In doing this, you’ll also have extra money for your honeymoon, future home, or your next big adventure.
4) Style
When it comes to large weddings, couples can sometimes feel obligated to follow the latest trends from social media. Yet when it comes to intimate weddings, you’ll feel less pressure to show off for social media and be more likely to let your own personal style shine through, making it a day that’s true to you.
5) Timing
While most big weddings can go on for eight hours or more, an intimate wedding can be shorter (and even sweeter sometimes). By cutting down time in your day, you can have more time with guests, more time to enjoy your day, and more time to revel in all of the love with your partner.

Kristen + Stephen, a Charming Backyard Wedding
Fort Worth hunnies Kristen and Stephen took their love to new heights in The City Different this September and it was truly the jewel-toned day of our dreams. This sweet, intimate Santa Fe affair was one that we’ll treasure for all of time.
These Texas angels knew that they wanted to make their love official in a dreamy location, so a tiny yet insanely pretty Airbnb in Santa Fe was their number one choice. Surrounded by only their closest friends and family, including their sweet daughter, Stephen and Kristen said “I do” to a lifetime of adventures and joy together. Not only did these cuties have the most heartwarming ceremony to celebrate their love, but they also included some of the most heavenly details of all time. From the most unique wedding cake to gorgeous reception hues in shades of purple and blue to florals that we can’t stop dreaming about, Stephen and Kristen took intimate weddings to a new level.
We know these sweethearts are going to have the most incredible life together, cheers to being newlyweds babes!

Alex + Shannon, an Iconic Hotel Parq Central Wedding
Lovers Shannon and Alex started their new chapter in the most mesmerizing of ways at the historic Hotel Parq Central in the heart of Downtown Albuquerque. These babes knew just how to celebrate their once-in-a-lifetime kind of love on the most magical summer evening.
Alex and Shannon originally met in college when they were both art students at The University of New Mexico. Even though Alex called Shannon the wrong name (Samantha), she still agreed to go on their first date. After many hours talking over coffee (over the course of many dates) and endless games of 20 Questions, these two knew that they had discovered something extremely special in one another. Over the last few years together, Shannon and Alex have cultivated a life together based on love, light, and a deep sense of adoration for all of their loved ones.
These hunnies enchanted everyone this July with an elegant, modern, and completely stunning wedding. From their colorful florals and disco ball accents to Shannon’s divinely chic bridal style to the most killer playlist (complete with Sade, Beyonce, and Kendrick!), these two took every last element of their nuptials to the next level. We loved the way these lovers did things that were true to themselves, including walking down the aisle together (which made for the most emotional moment) to both Alex and Shannon having an outfit change for their reception (just look at Shannon’s sparkly party dress and Alex’s vibrant shirt) to showing everyone an extremely special skateboarding video that Alex made for Shannon. This day was full of the deepest love, joy, and excitement for two souls who are so clearly meant for each other.
Bring on all the couples who know how to bring the party and who aren’t afraid to take their love to new heights.

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.

Trent + Emma, a Captivating Desert Engagement
Absolute babes Emma and Trent might not being the tying the knot until next year, but that didn’t stop them from having the most beautiful spring engagement out in the desert. These cuties made this April evening one of the sweetest ever.
Trent and Emma were friends for a long time in college before they made it official, but once they took a chance on love they both realized just how perfect they are together. These sweethearts both love the way time spent with one another, no matter the activity, is always so dang fun and amazing. They currently have a precious rescue pup, Brimley, who is truly the light of their lives. These hunnies are celebrating their love with a gorgeous wedding in Mexico in early 2023 and we just know it will be an unforgettable affair.
Cheers to all the cutie evenings with the best humans, we’re fully obsessed!!

Steven + Ashley, a Dreamy New Mexico Engagement
Longtime sweethearts Ashley and Steven are making it official this summer with a Northern New Mexico celebration and we already know its going to wildly romantic and so dang gorgeous. We spent a little time with these cuties (and their furry angel Beau!!) this spring and it made for the prettiest of evenings.
Even though these babes first met in high school and were always drawn to one another, Ashley and Steven didn’t give their love a go until 2012 right before Ashley moved to Albuquerque to start college at The University of New Mexico. After four years of long distance love, Ashley moved back to Northern New Mexico and these two have been by each others’ sides ever since then. Steven and Ashley share a lust for adventure, the same humor, and, of course, a love for their pup Beau (who loves exploring too)!
We’re over the moon for these two, we can’t wait to party at their late summer fête this August!

Logan + Audry, a Magical Taos Ski Valley Wedding
On the most divine afternoon in August, Logan and Audry said “I do” after nine whole years of being together. These sweet Wisconsin angels invited us to be a part of the magic up in Taos Ski Valley and it was truly heaven on earth.
Long before they were making it last name official in the iconic Kachina Basin at Taos, Logan and Audry were just a couple of college students who happened to meet by chance through mutual friends at a party. They found an almost instant spark and have been falling more and more in love with each other since. A few years down the road, Logan and Audry moved to the beautiful Southwest where they currently live with their two pups, Skip and Georgia. And as if life couldn’t get any sweeter for these cuties, Logan proposed to Audry in 2019 on a rainy day in New York City.
For their special day, these hunnies decided to get hitched at Taos Ski Valley not only due to its immense beauty, but because its the ski resort where Logan taught Audry how to ski and it continues to be one of their favorite places in all of New Mexico. On top of having the most ethereal mountain view for their nuptials, Audry and Logan also had details that were absolutely to die for. From Audry’s divine bridal gown by Made With Love Bridal to out-of-this-world signage and invitations by Funky Olive Design to the most majestic florals by Floral Elegance to the most stunning reception design by Wild in Wonder, this day was nothing short of the most gorgeous day dream. And if their details weren’t enough to swoon over, Logan and Audry even took some time to wander around with us through the beautiful woods and serene scenery of Taos Ski Valley for some of the most enchanting romantics we’ve ever laid our eyes on.
These two and this day will forever be one that we simply can’t get enough of, cheers to all the love and joy Logan and Audry brought to their incredible summer day! We can’t wait for even more mountain weddings that will surely captivate us over and over again!
