Welcome back Blue Rose Beauties! We thought you might need a little Monday afternoon pick-me-up so here we are! You are in for a real treat today because this next wedding is the epitome of classic – a timeless color scheme, an iconic gown – think Meghan Markle with a twist- at one of the most sought after venues in our area, the one and only La Mesita Ranch Estate. This luxury vacation rental situated on 140 acres of NM beauty is just minutes north of majestic Santa Fe but makes you feel worlds away. Some of the characteristics that set this property apart from the rest include the dramatic Italian-inspired equestrian courtyard, arena, and stables as well as cozy patios, private gardens, meadows, ponds, and ancient cottonwood trees. This iconic venue was the perfect setting for such a beautiful celebration. From the incredibly sweet first look through the entire wedding and reception and until the very last second, we absolutely loved capturing the abundant love shared between Natalie & Reed. Besides being incredibly photogenic they were also so kind & lovely and we cherish the time we spent with these love birds! As Thanksgiving quickly approaches we can’t help but think of how incredibly #thankful we are for all of our couples that trust us to capture such a significant moment in their lives especially during a time where nothing feels quite certain. One thing you can always be sure of is that if you hire us to photograph your celebration we promise to treat you, your partner and your event with the same care and detail that every wedding deserves. That is just what we do!

Amber and Joe’s Santa Fe wedding was so whimsical. Each detail was unique and representative of this sweet couple. The southwest day was still and hot; dressed-up and ready to watch Amber and Joe marry. Beauty radiated throughout—rippling through Amber’s veil, glistening in her flawless jewelry, and contrasting against stucco and storm-cloud-hued doors. Unconditionally supporting Amber were four lovely ladies in mesa pink and wild sage green. The messy elegance of nude, blushing garden roses touched every element of this southwestern wedding, neatly tying up any loose ends. Small yet strong details breathed life into this magical day, and though Amber’s necklace winked with the grace of Cinderella’s stagecoach, she remained a princess at the stroke of midnight. Scroll through their wedding photos below to see the wrought iron gates open, hear the ancient bells ring, and watch Amber and Joe dance into happily ever after.
