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!

Morgan and Travis, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

by | Sep 9, 2020 | | 0

Welcome back Blue Rose Beauties and happy #WeddingWednesday! We woke up with that crisp morning air, early signs of transitioning foliage and a pumpkin spice latte in hand… holy cozy! This next wedding is one we will never forget. We know that this celebration will resonate with all of the couples out there with an intimate guest list but a strong love for the “Art of Celebration”. Morgan & Travis were not afraid to take their own spin on tradition and make the day a reflection of their personal style and we are in awe of all the details and love that they allowed us to capture. This gorgeous bride looked unforgettable in her sage green gown- that color juxtaposed against her fiery red tresses equals pure perfection in our eyes. The ceremony was serene and romantic and Ryan of, Ryan Smith Cello Music, helped create that wonderful ambiance along with a wood burning fire and perhaps the most beautiful view in all of Santa Fe at the Four Seasons Rancho Encantado. The reception was exceptionally detailed and if you have ever experienced a wedding planned by Lauren with Just Lovely or the food and service at the Four Seasons you totally understand what we mean. We loved that the menu featured high end options with New Mexican flavor and that the cake was adorned with real gold flake. Those are the details that will be so memorable to your guests in the years to come. We loved how delicate blooms and lush foliage were perfectly incorporated into all of the arrangements turning a moody color scheme into an elegant, romantic look- Fred with Artichokes & Pomegranates never disappoints! A huge thank you to Morgan & Travis for trusting us to capture this monumental occasion, we are so honored. You both are true gems and we send our best wishes for a lifetime of love & pure bliss.

Lauren and Charles, Loretto Chapel

by | Feb 26, 2020 | | 0

Welcome back to Blue Rose beauties! #WeddingWednesday is always a call for celebration here in our little corner of the internet, but you know our love for New Mexico weddings isn’t confined by a single day! How could it be, when every famed sunrise in our gorgeous state gives us new inspiration by being the first day of a couple’s new life together?!

The sun peeking up on the morning of Charles and Lauren’s new adventure was definitely no exception. We’re still eagerly awaiting the sunshine and blooms of a southwestern spring here, of course, but in the meantime, we’re cozying up to the fond memories of their intimate day. Held by the old-world architecture of the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, Lauren and Charles pledged their boundless love for each other in just each other’s company.

Now, we would die for a grand, 300-people, bustling celebration just as much as the next wedding lovers, but this elopement? Absolutely stole our hearts. Delicate gold detailing throughout the holy sanctuary complimented the lace appliqué of Lauren’s gown, shining alongside her newlywed glow. With Charles in a perfectly tailored suit of grey, the couple created a shimmering little universe to say their I Do’s in — one we’ll be dreaming of forever. And how could we not?! Being there to capture every moment from the sun’s first bean through the stained glass windows, to the last second when Lauren and Charles sped off into the distance in a sleek vintage town car was the honor of a lifetime.

So get comfy! We’re bringing you with us as we relive the unforgettable magic of this day — grab a cup of tea and you can too.

Not only that but we promise that after scrolling this next blog you are going to want to watch a Disney Movie. The fairytale-like features of one of our all time favorite venues, La Fonda on the Plaza, matches our next couple perfectly. The mountain backdrop to the ceremony along with the bride’s modern cinderella gown gives us all the Fairy Tale feels. Did we mention the bride’s gown had pockets- YES Pockets! If we could give an award for effortlessly chic bride of the year, Stephanie would win hands down. While Stephanie and Felipe look like two models plucked out of a love story we assure you they are as real and down to earth as they come. They planned an intimate wedding that was truly a touching celebration of love. Subtle yet beautiful florals put all of the shine on the beautiful venue, the couple and their love! To put it simply, the entire day was a total dream.

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.

Get your scroll on + come back soon!

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