In our gorgeous home state of New Mexico there are so many stunning spaces and places to be wed, making it easy to become overwhelmed in a sea of beautiful options. But with endless mountain ranges in our backyard, we know that any celebration in The Land of Enchantment will be one of truly magical heights. From the Sangre de Cristo range to the north to Abiquiu’s famed rainbow of rust mesas, our lovely little Southwestern home has no shortage of beautiful landscapes.
Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to capture some of the immense beauty all of the mountains have to offer. These majestic giants sprinkle a bit of mystical wonder on wedding days, leaving us absolutely enamored by some of the most astonishing high-altitude affairs. Here’s to more marriages in some of the most jaw-dropping locations in the West!

Nick + Liz, a Divine Nambe Falls Wedding
Lovers Liz and Nick were finally able to celebrate the next chapter of their incredible love story this summer after two whole years of being engaged and waiting out the pandemic. These two brought together all of their loved ones for the most stunning New Mexico day of all.
Long before they were tying the knot, Nick and Liz were both ambitious law students at Harvard who just so happened to get seated right next to each other in class. After realizing how amazing they were together, these two began the journey of the lifetime that took them from the East Coast all the way to California where they now live ( and where Liz is now the first Native American Law Professor at Stanford!!!!). After all these years of adventuring and making moves as the ultimate power couple, Liz and Nick decided to make it official in Liz’s beautiful home state of New Mexico.
For their ceremony, these two knew that Nambe Falls, where Liz grew up, would be the most idyllic place to say “I do”. With the creative magic of Just Lovely Weddings and the most epic scenery, Nick and Liz brought their dream wedding day to life From Liz’s soft bridal glam to the bright pops of yellow throughout the day, to the most thoughtful reception details, this overcast day still brought so much light and love to all those who were a part of it. And just when it seemed impossible to be even more awestruck by this day, Liz and Nick took us on a tiny adventure to the most unreal overlook for romantics beyond our wildest dreams.
We’re still reeling from just how amazing this day was and how inspired we are by these two humans, cheers to a lifetime of making history!!!

Nick + Liz, a Mesmerizing New Mexico Engagement
Lovers Nick and Liz finally got their stunning New Mexico engagement after waiting nearly two years to spend a little time in the New Mexico sunshine. This dreamy evening up North brought the most dramatic landscapes and the most romantic of moments.
Liz and Nick first met while they were both students at Harvard Law School. Eventually these two babes fell head-over-heels in love with one another and soon started on their adventure of a lifetime, traversing cities and jobs, before ending up in California. They journeyed back to The Land of Enchantment for their engagement (and wedding!) where sweet Liz was born.
We are still picking of jaws up off of the floor over this brilliant day with these stunners!

Kevin + Caroline, a Charming La Posada de Santa Fe Wedding
Texas sweethearts Kevin and Caroline brought the absolute party to Santa Fe this summer and it was truly beyond our dreams. Every last detail of this gorgeous day was not only unique, but so dang perfect.
These cuties first met a long time ago in high school, but sparks didn’t fly between Kevin and Caroline until one college break when they were both home with mutual friends. Even thought they started off as best friends, once these two realized how special their connection was, they quickly fell in love. In 2019, Kevin completely surprised Caroline and popped the question surrounded by their close friends and family.
Since these two call Midland, TX home, Caroline and Kevin wanted to have their wedding in a city that gave them that small town feel and Santa Fe was perfect. They soon decided that La Posada de Santa Fe would be the prettiest place to say “I do” and these lovers found the most killer vendor team to make all of their wedding dreams come true. From the luxe floral designs and amazing planning by A Beautiful Theme to the gorgeous water color details by Pearly Gates Designs to the most elegant custom bridal gown by Lea Ann Belter to the most dapper blue wedding tux by The Black Tux, these Texas babes pulled out all the stops for their beyond lovely day.
From the very first moments of their pretty day to those final electric moments on the dance floor, Kevin and Caroline just knew how to be the most amazing couple around. Cheers to the Packinghams and their brand new adventure together!!!!
