During our wedding seasons we get to spend a whole lot of time up north in The City Different and it’s always beyond dreamy. On top of gorgeous weddings, we love capturing all of the sweet Santa Fe engagement sessions throughout the year.
From quintessetial Santa Fe spots like La Fonda on the Plaza and downtown to ethereal locations such as Bishop’s Lodge and Four Seasons Santa Fe, there’s always something special for everyone. Around every corner of this historic city is pure magic and we’re beyond lucky to soak it all in on a regular basis.
We can’t wait to see what 2023 holds for us in Santa Fe, we know it’ll be nothing short of phenomenal.

Wedding Inspo - Rehearsal Dinners
Everyone knows that the best way to kick off a dreamy wedding weekend is with a rehearsal dinner or with an even bigger welcome dinner. And, of course, our couples always take this tradition to the next freaking level.
From the Southwestern inspired fêtes in the middle of Santa Fe to the lush celebrations in Austin to partying everywhere in between, these dinners help couples not only welcome their guests, but set the mood for the entire weekend of festivities. We adore when couples use their rehearsal and welcome dinners to incorporate pops of color or unique details that are sometimes the exact opposite of their wedding day theme (a detail we’re truly obsessed with forever and ever).
We can’t wait to see what beauty our couples have in store for us next season and beyond!

Thomas + Jacqueline, a Charming Downtown Santa Fe Engagement
Sweethearts Jacqueline and Thomas journeyed down to The City Different for the most stunning little engagement session on the eve of their Santa Fe nuptials. These midwest cuties brought a little extra light to this already beautiful June evening.
After enduring the last two years of the pandemic, Thomas and Jacqueline realized that they were absolutely perfect for each other and that there was no one else on the planet that they would rather be with than one another. They decided to have a destination wedding in ever charming Santa Fe and, dang, did they know how to kick off their weekend just right.
We can’t wait to share even more of these angels and their ever so magical time here in the Southwest.

Jason + Natalie, a Southwestern Rehearsal Dinner at The Pink Adobe
It’s not a secret that we became absolutely obsessed with Chicago lovers Jason and Natalie after their lovely White Sands engagement session and we just knew their wedding weekend in Santa Fe was going to be one for the books!
These two kicked off their celebration with a festive rehearsal dinner at the ever-so-quaint Santa Fe gem, The Pink Adobe. Complete with a New Mexico inspired cake by our girl Zara at Maggie’s Wedding Cakes, to custom gift bags designed by Funky Olive Designs (who used this same amazing design for Jason and Natalie’s wedding day details), to a surprise appearance by a tequila donkey, this night was just the tip of the iceberg for a truly incredible wedding weekend
We can’t wait to share Jason and Natalie’s out-of-this-world day here on the blog, but until then, feast your eyes on this perfect Santa Fe night!
