Alex + Blakely, a Mesmerizing Four Seasons Wedding

Long-time lovies Alex and Blakely have always had a massive crush on Santa Fe, so when it came time to make their love official, they knew that The City Different would be absolute perfection. These two brought all of the romance and beauty to one of the most enchanting locations ever.

Even though these two have been together for many years, their sweet story began in a most unconventional way: bonding over a shared love for pizza. Blakely and Alex met through mutual friends when they were both seniors in high school and one of the first times they ever interacted involved Alex sharing the very last slice of pizza with Blakely at a birthday dinner. From that moment on, these two hunnies became inseparable and quickly fell deeply in love with one another. A few years down the road, Alex proposed to Blakely in Breckenridge at one of their favorite little locations.

This September, these cuties dreamed up the most stunning day at Four Seasons Santa Fe and dang was it a sight to behold. Blakely’s divine bridal style (just look at that iconic Galia Lahav gown), boho-chic florals by Floral Elegance, and little hints of turquoise throughout their details made this day special beyond compare. We loved getting to sneak away with Alex and Blakely after their ceremony for a few blissful moments in the most heavenly Southwest light and then partying the night away with them surrounded by all of their friends and family.

We’re over the moon for these two, their love, and every single piece of their incredible day. Newlywed life looks so good on you angels, cheers to all of the adventures ahead!

Solve + Alex, a Festive Wedding at La Mesita Ranch

In the middle of this warm, yet gorgeous summer, Solve and Alex invited us to capture their dreamy nuptials in northern New Mexico. These lovebirds colorful day at La Mesita Ranch is one that we’ll truly remember forever.

This stunner of a wedding started way out west at La Mesita Ranch, a property tucked away near Nambe Falls and known for its breathtaking views and unique touches. With a little bit of magic from the Just Lovely Weddings team and the floral goddesses at Manmade and Sage, the details from this day were truly unmatched. Our dream bride Alex combined the best of classic wedding glam with boho details through her chic wedding gown from Ann Matthews Bridal and her stunning glam by Betty Rose by Alanna while Solve looked extra sleek in an all black tux.

For their stellar ceremony, these cuties included a larger than life floral arch filled with the most unique florals and the sweetest little petal toss. And to top it all off, Alex and Solve’s reception had so much damn beauty. From the incredible lounges by Darling Details to the divine table settings to the most out-of-this-world music by local band Le Chat Lunatique, this July day was perfection to the next level. If all of those touches weren’t enough, we were blown away by these lovers romantic first dance and surprise tambourine party with all of their guests on the dance floor.

We’ll forever be obsessed with the way Alex and Solve brought together all of their loved ones for the most killer summer party, cheers to newlywed life babes!!!

Erik + Jessa, a Tamaya Wedding

Erik and Jessa’s little love story began about six years ago when they met by chance at work and even though Jessa left for a new position in California, her and Erik remained in touch. A few months after Jessa’s move, Erik came to visit her and they’ve been together ever since.

Erik proposed in 2017 while he and Jessa were on vacation in Puerto Vallarta over breakfast on the beach! He put all of the sweet little notes they had wrote to each other over the years into a box that also contained an engagement ring and Jessa was over the moon to say yes!

The ever charming Hyatt Tamaya in Bernallio, New Mexico incorporates both indoor and outdoor wedding aspects, making it the perfect venue choice for these lovers. Erik and Jessa also included Erik’s Scottish ancestry (the Buchanan family) into their ceremony with some of the coolest details! From bagpipe players during cocktail hour to using the Buchanan tartan for Erik and his groomsmen’s pocket squares to custom medallions of the Buchanan crest on each guest’s plate to including Blue Scottish Thistle in all of the florals, these lovers brought an incredible Scottish vibe to their modern, late-summer wedding. Congrats lovers, being a part of your day was sooo incredibly special to us!

Shane + Megan, a Dreamy New Mexico Wedding

In one of our dreamiest weddings to date, Shane and Megan vowed to love and cherish one another for the rest of their lives surrounded by family and friends at the breathtakingly beautiful Tinnin residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The couple met six and a half years ago, but Shane knew instantly that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Megan. Their vows pulled on our heartstrings during an incredibly emotional ceremony and both Megan's father and sister gave toasts that brought the entire room to tears.  In honor of her late mother, Megan's father gifted her one of her mother's gorgeous diamond rings to wear as her 'something old' and 'something blue'.  In addition to all of their heartfelt, deeply moving moments, Shane and Megan also incorporated some stunning details into their larger-than -life, truly incredible wedding. From florals with a hint of a tropical edge to an amazing dessert bar to a garter toss complete with a football (as a nod to Shane's life as a quarterback), this couple pulled out all of the stops to celebrate the next chapter of their lives! We were so honored to capture all of the laughs, tears, and love from this unforgettable day.
