Christine and James, La Fonda on the Plaza

Welcome back #BlueRoseBeauties!

We’ve got another gorgeous couple on the blog today, Christine + James! Not only is this dynamic duo painfully photogenic – above all they were beyond gracious and kind which makes our jobs substantially more lovely! This colorful destination wedding celebration is one for the books, and their location might just be the next one you add to your list. We all know that there are countless, beautiful, much sought after venues in New Mexico, but one of our personal favorites happens to be La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. The building itself is historically stunning, both inside and out and just so happens to be the location of choice for this couple’s journey into forever. We were there to capture the most intimate of moments and everything in between. On the floral front- think individual sprigs of lavender on each napkin, the most colorful wildflowers you can imagine – and a bridal comb made out of LIVE floral – huge shout out to Florecita Flowers for bringing the beautiful blooms- they were pure magic! If we had to describe the motif and overall vibe for this nuptial we would call it whimsically vibrant and a profound celebration of love with the most upscale Southwestern twist. Talavera tile table numbers, mini maracas and a full out La Marcha parade through Santa Fe’s plaza had us feeling right at home and might we add, proud to be New Mexican!  As always we feel so lucky to have witnessed such a lovely moment in time and to Mr. + Mrs. Gilland, we hope that if you are reading this- you feel our love and hopes for a lifetime of joy, coming your way!

Settle in and stay awhile- we’ve got so much to show you!

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.

Megan and Kevin, Historic Farmhouse

Megan and Kevin first met during their sophomore year of college in a science class and let’s just say the “chemistry” didn’t end there. Fast forward to April of 2019, these “university” sweethearts took a giant leap of faith into their forever and it was glorious to say the very least. Picture it- a beautiful spring day, surrounded by friends and family at one of the most elegant, historic spaces, in all of Albuquerque. The Dietz Farms is a private space and served as the perfect, tucked-away backdrop for a day that looks like it was plucked right out of a fairytale. No detail was overlooked and we wouldn’t expect anything less especially with Just Lovely Wedding + Event Planning behind the wheel, working her magic!

Scrolling these photos again today, I had a few moments of raw reflection (and some happy tears). On the outside, you’ll see gorgeous images of a lovely couple but the true beauty lies within with these two. My theory is that the contagious smiles and sheer happiness seen here is cultivated from a profound sense of contentment. It’s the feeling of being at home no matter where you are in the world because you finally have YOUR person- the feeling that comes when you find the one whom your soul truly loves at last. We feel so lucky to fall witness to such profound love especially the kind that Megan & Kevin share- we have been so delighted to re-live this momentous occasion and bask in it. We hope you’ll do the same and spend a little time with us and this gorgeous gallery.

PS. In case you needed one more reason to scroll, the world’s CUTEST pup makes many debuts below- it’s worth your time, we promise!
