Welcome back Blue Rose Beauties! Today’s stunning Santa Fe, NM wedding has everything we could ever need – the SWEETEST couple in love, an adorable ring bearer and iconic southwestern details at every turn- cue the mariachi band! 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. To Stephanie & Felipe- if you are out there reading this- thank you so much for trusting us to capture this monumental occasion- we are so honored to be part of it all and may you both live happily ever after!

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2020 AND #WeddingWednesday- coincidence? I think not! Blue Rose Beauties, you are going to want to get cozy because we have major heart eyes for our next couple on the blog and we know you will too. Rebbekah and Jonathan look like they were plucked right out of a bridal fashion magazine- they make this whole wedding thing look GOOD! And if you are on the hunt for some wedding inspiration that blends boho with moody and timeless elegance… look no further… this couple basically invented it. You don’t often see the words moody, and boho strung together, but that’s why we love this wedding so much. It is so refreshing to see couples fully embrace their personal style and weave it into their celebration. Picture it, impeccable desert mountain views and air plants galore, mixed with a moody-vintage reception vibe. This day was pure wedding day bliss and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed. The bride wore a breathtaking lace gown- the bodice donned the most beautiful and delicate adornments that accentuated her silhouette in the most lovely way. Rebbekah’s contagious smile lit up every photo captured, while her groom, dapper as one can possibly get, exuded a sense of profound admiration for her throughout the day. We could have taken 1 million photos and each and every one would have captured a moment worth treasuring. This beautiful couple, inside and out, made our job easy. They were up for taking the time to roam the grounds of Eldorado to let us capture their love in every nook imaginable and that’s a photographers dream after all! What wasn’t easy, was tailoring a selection of some of our favorite photos of their day for you to enjoy- so many to choose from! But alas, we’ve done it so please stay a while and start your decade off in the right direction. R+J if you are reading this, thank you for trusting us with your wedding day- it was an honor to be there and witness it all first hand. We are sending you many wishes for a lifetime of happiness + unrelenting joy. Cheers!

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!

Megan and Kevin, Historic Farmhouse

by | Jul 10, 2019 | | 0

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!
