When these cutie Texans first crossed our paths, we knew that they were going to be beyond amazing to capture. We spent a little summer evening on the Santa Fe Plaza with Meredith and Matthew, it was truly the perfect peek into what’s to come for their big La Fonda on the Plaza celebration this November.
These babes first met over six years ago via Tinder and after immediately hitting it off on their first date (at Chipotle), Matthew and Meredith just knew their love was meant to be. After many years of being the biggest Astros fans and loving all the Tex-Mex cuisine, these cuties decided to make it official. Meredith and Matthew are going to usher in their new chapter together with a dreamy fall day filled with Southwestern details, tons of stunning green foliage, and a whole lot of romance.

Marc + Maria, a Romantic Santa Fe Plaza Engagement
Late last fall we got to explore one of our favorite spots, the Santa Fe Plaza, with these Cape Cod cuties. Maria and Marc brought so much fun and romance to this sweet little evening, its not hard to see why we’re absolutely obsessed with them.
These hunnies first crossed paths in Boston almost five years ago and initially bonded over their mutual love for Beagles (honestly the best thing to bond over). They eventually decided that their love was a forever thing and started their life together in Cape Cod with their two fur babies Ari (an Italian Greyhound) and George (a Beagle!!!!). Soon after, they visited Maria’s uncle in Santa Fe and knew that The City Different would be the most magical place to say “I Do”. These cuties are gonna make their wedding dreams a reality this fall at the ever stunning Four Seasons Santa Fe.
We are beyond excited to celebrate with these angels later on this year, bring on all the Southwestern beauty!!!

When Austin cuties Chris and Kathy reached out to us about a quick session during their recent trip to New Mexico, we knew that no other place could be quite as magical as the Santa Fe Plaza.
We met up with these Texas babes on most dreamy October morning for a stroll around sweet little downtown Santa Fe. We got to visit a lot of our favorite spots as well as discover a few new gems with these angels and dang was it so much fun.
Cheers to all the cutie vacation photoshoots and if you’re heading to New Mexico please please please let us take your photos, it’ll be the most fun!!,
