Sean + Kate, a Heavenly Rancho Gallina Wedding

Sweethearts Kate and Sean celebrated their love in the most divine, intentional way this September. Surrounded by all of their loved ones, these angels said “I Do” on a day that we can only describe as being totally and utterly blissful.

This match-made-in-heaven pair first met in college during undergrad, but didn’t truly connect until almost nine years later when both Kate and Sean were living in Albuquerque. After over four years together, these babes knew their love was the real deal and Sean surprised Kate with a snowy proposal in 2021. They soon began planning their dream day alongside their sweet pups, Peach and Cookie.

From the very beginning Sean and Kate knew they wanted a charming, yet laid-back celebration that would feel inclusive, beautiful, and completely true to their love and who they are as humans. For their big day, they decided on Rancho Gallina, a dreamy little spot right outside of Santa Fe, everything else fell perfectly into place. From the colorful florals by Florecita to the most heavenly bridal look (complete with a couture gown and the most incredible crown we’ve ever laid eyes on) to all of the amazing reception details (just peep those precious mugs made by the bride herself and their stunner of a photo bus), Kate and Sean knew exactly how to find the most flawless connection between the little things and the big moments of their incredible day. We’ll never quite get over the way these two were literally showered in joy (aka flower petals) at the end of their ceremony, their stunning desert portraits, or the way Sean and Kate partied alllll night long with their favorite people on the planet.

We adored seeing these soulmates ride off into the sunset together and already know that their new journey will be the best one yet!!

Jake + Carly, a Dazzling La Posada Wedding

Pacific Northwest hunnies Jake and Carly waited several years to tie the knot, but when they finally made it official this May, it was a dream beyond dreams. These cuties brought the most chic, elegant garden-inspired celebration to the heart of the Southwest and we’re the biggest fans of it all.

Carly and Jake first met almost a decade ago while they were both attending journalism school in Chicago and very quickly fell for each other. After moving to Washington D.C. for several years, these babes packed up everything and moved all the way to Portland, OR on the other side of the country. During their roadtrip to the West Coast, Carly and Jake just happened to pass through Santa Fe and immediately fell in love with The City Different (but more on that later!). Jake and Carly got engaged in March of 2020 (right as the pandemic was starting) and began planning their wedding from home.

While they were envisioning their big day, Jake and Carly remembered how much they adored Santa Fe and ultimately decided that there was no where else they’d rather get hitched. Two years after their engagement, these cuties finally got their amazing celebration with some of the most unreal details around. With the magic of Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals, Carly and Jake’s day was gorgeous and seamless from start to finish. The angels from Viva Flora created a ceremony chuppah unlike any we’ve seen before and Funky Olive Designs created an invitation suite and paper goods straight from heaven. We loved catching the last few rays of sunlight with these angels as they danced in the middle of a little Santa Fe street. Every inch of this day was a true celebration of love, beauty, and pure joy. We’re forever drooling over all the little touches Carly and Jake brought to their wildly beautiful spring afternoon.

We’re forever the biggest fans of the sweetest lovers and all of the pretty wedding day details, cheers to married life Carly and Jake!!!

Ben + Katy, a Spanish Inspired Santa Fe Wedding

Ben and Katy, one of the sweetest couples out there, share a love story that most people only dream about. They met in the fifth grade (Katy shared that she even remembers how goofy Ben was at that age!) and have spent the last ten years together, both knowing that they wanted to be together forever! While planning, they decided to to have a super cozy, intimate wedding in the heart of the southwest, Santa Fe. This couple loves to travel and they knew they wanted a destination wedding that was not only close to home, but one full of culture that it felt like a whole different world. Influenced by her recent travels to Spain, Katy found her heart set on Santa Fe due to its colorful, rich history and its ties to Spanish colonialism. With 50 of their closest friends and family, Ben and Katy tied the knot at Hacienda Corta Caro in an early summer wedding that can only described as pure magic. From dreamy, watercolor  invitations to including their fur baby Finley in their ceremony to live flamenco dancers to super amazing late night s’mores, Ben and Katy fulfilled all of our Santa Fe wedding wishes!
