Melissa and Scott’s Santa Fe Wedding

Emma and Aaron, La Fonda on the Plaza

Happy #WeddingWednesday and welcome back Blue Rose Beauties! What happens when you mix the most amazingly sweet couple with a classically iconic color palette? Pure, unadulterated – wedding magic, of course! You must know how much we love La Fonda on the Plaza weddings by now and this next celebration of Aaron and Emma totally reaffirms that love. When it comes to tying the knot, we are sure that nothing could tell their love story better than the natural beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This area is home to some of the state’s most breathtaking wedding venues and might we add, the most talented wedding professionals ever! The iconic color palette of white, ivory, cream, and muted blush was incorporated into everything from the table design to the floral arrangements. The masterminds at Floriography Flowers brought this bride’s neutral color palette to life with just the right touches of texture and flair. Have you ever seen cotton incorporated into a bouquet? Yes we said cotton! This bountiful bouquet is unlike anything we’ve seen before and needless to say we are living for all of it. Looking back at this idyllic ceremony at the Cathedral, her iconic lace dress and all the details in-between has us feeling so nostalgic. We feel beyond honored to have lived this magical day first hand at a wedding where you could literally feel the elegance and love radiating through the rooftops. We were there to capture the beauty of the day as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by close friends and family, now we hope you will stay with us a while and watch it unfold, all over again.

Emma + Aaron if you are reading this, we are sending you so much and many wishes for a lifetime of happiness and joy!

Jenna and Jerome, Hyatt Regency Tamaya

Welcome back Blue Rose Beauty! It’s #WeddingWednesday and we have something so good in store for you… a southwestern charm like you’ve never seen before! This perfect summer day started off with the lovely couple tying the knot at a very special and traditional Catholic Mass- it was intimate and beautiful and we are so beyond honored to have witnessed their union among those they love most. After the service they had their loved ones head north to the truly magical and sacred land of the Hyatt Regency Tamaya, to the house of the Hummingbird. Yes we said, Hummingbird! This outdoor venue, a section of the Tamaya Resort & Spa, resembles an ancient Pueblo ruin and features a stunning view of Tuyuna Mesa. This space feels so special – it has an incredibly peaceful aura about it making you feel far from the hustle and bustle of normal, everyday life.  Jenna + Jerome’s reception was bright and airy with unique and intricate details nestled in each and every direction. Think a horse drawn carriage, hanging arrangements dripping with vibrant-blooming- florals, guests dining under blankets of decadent greenery,  and literal hummingbirds fluttering about- the setting couldn’t have been more romantic…our hearts!  Major shout out to Camilla of Corazon Events, she planned their celebration with perfect precision and brought their vision to life with love. The AH-MAZING Agave Florist at Nobb Hilll pulled out all the stops to provide a major floral moment and needless to say we are here for it ALL. We can’t make this stuff up there are photos to prove it.. and we hope you enjoy each capture as much as we did! Cheers to this very sweet + wonderful couple- we are all wishing you a lifetime of endless love and happiness together.

Nikki and Ethan, Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town

It’s #WeddingWednesday and we are so ready to celebrate by highlighting a very special couple that have touched our hearts immensely! Typically we like to start off our blog posts by stating our thoughts about the special couple that we have had the pleasure of working with and their union but alas we have stumbled upon the most beautifully written excerpt that perfectly encapsulates their love story and who are we to re-imagine such a masterpiece?! Get comfy, give it a read and then enjoy some of the most magical wedding day photos ever. You can literally feel the warmth radiating from these images! We feel so lucky to have been there to capture it all and we can’t even begin to comprehend the journey that these two are in for. We will be there cheering them on all the way…

We began our story after meeting online in January 2016 and hilarity immediately ensued. Our first date was at an ice cream shop in Brooklyn. Nikki, just recently moving to Brooklyn to escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, thought there was only one Ample Hill Creamery location and ended up at the wrong one. After realizing the snafu (via a series of very confused text messages), we successfully met and Ethan remembers vividly how fast his heart was racing when a gorgeous, stylish Nikki walked through the door! From that moment we have not been able to get enough of each other, going on 5 more dates in the next two weeks. Nikki knew this would be something special after our spontaneous third date where we enjoyed brunch and a long walk around Dumbo, Brooklyn which fittingly saw us get caught in the rain. While Nikki remembers being sopping wet with her makeup running and still feeling like the most beautiful girl to Ethan (which is still how he makes her feel today), Ethan remembers not having any clue that her makeup was running because he was too busy smiling like an idiot at her while hoping that their walk would never end.

What we love most about each other is our ability to openly and honestly communicate; because of that, we work well as a team, deeply respect each other and have come to learn that when the going gets tough we can unflinchingly rely on one another. We have an unshakeable deep and loving bond and are thrilled to unite together for life.

Our adventures have taken us all over the globe, through leaking roofs and career pitfalls, into two apartments, and (barely) through two trips to Ikea. We’ve been to Paris, Spain, Nice, Cannes, Cancun, Copenhagen, Costa Rica, Reno, San Francisco, and so many more places – but to this day we talk about how unbelievably lucky we were to both be in Brooklyn in January 2016…

Ana and Joseph, Event Center at Sandia Golf Club

Ana and Joseph, quite possibly two of the kindest and most genuine people to ever exist, happened to find themselves in the right place at the right time and in the midst of a real life love story. The universe conspired for them to be together and everything fell into place leaving them no choice but to celebrate in perhaps the most beautiful fashion ever, surrounded by those they love most. If you’re on team classic, rustic, burgundy & rose gold you might want to go ahead and grab a nice warm cup of coffee or tea, get your pinterest finger ready, and settle in for a while because this next wedding will have your cozy heart and pinterest boards overflowing with love and inspiration.

The bride and groom exchanged vows under the big, beautiful, New Mexican sky with the Sandia Mountains and their nearest and dearest standing witness. Their beloved Bently the Shih Tzu and Bebe the Yorkie made sure to anchor them in love as the hustle and bustle of the day unfolded and they did it in impeccable style- they totally get our vote for best dressed of the day! Guests took their seats at tables adorned with monochromatic – delicate blooms and rustic details while the entire space was surrounded by romantic drapery and chic tones that made for a sweepingly beautiful look. Lauren Landavazo and the staff at The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club made sure this day was beyond breathtaking yet effortlessly intimate all wrapped up into one. See it unfold, we’ve captured it all in stunning detail for you below…
