Welcome back Blue Rose Beauties & happy #WeddingWednesday to you! During these unprecedented times we hope to bring a little inspiration and happiness to your world. It brings us so much joy to be able to look back on the celebrations that we have had the pleasure of being part of and bask in the gloriousness of families coming together to celebrate love. We can’t wait for the dust to settle so that you can get back to planning as usual but in the meantime we will be here to put a smile on your face!

It is not everyday that we get to photograph two different types of wedding ceremonies in one day so this next couple is very near and dear to our hearts. Lani & Kellen’s wedding day last May was one we will never forget! Our bride Lani is a Diné/Filipina from Na’Neelzhiin, NM so its no surprise that their day was steeped in rich tradition and meaningful details. From her unforgettable-traditional blush dress & turquoise squash blossom necklace to her modern white gown and floral crown, Lani was simply stunning on her big day. Both ceremonies and through the entire reception the dapper groom, Kellen, looked at his bride adoringly and our hearts couldn’t have been more full for them. A beautiful wedding vase ceremony and an adorable puppy dog making a cameo down the aisle along with how truly magical the atmosphere felt are just some of the details we will never forget about their wedding day. We know that Kellen & Lani are on the adventure of a lifetime- and we are so honored that they chose us as their photographers to document the beginning of it all. Ok enough talking let the photos that we captured paint the story for you in full. Don’t be shy… get your scroll on with us & feel the love! #NewMexicoTrue

Caley and James, Loretto Chapel

by | Aug 28, 2019 | | 0

Do you ever look at a couple and think wow those two are going to have one interesting, lively, hilarious life together? That’s the exact sentiment that I had in my heart while choosing highlights to show you from their perfectly planned celebration. This gorgeous summer day in sweet ole Santa Fe New Mexico is everything classic wedding dreams are made of. The bride was an absolute vision donning an elegant lace wedding gown while her delicate bouquet, adorned with beautiful anemones and garden roses by Artichoke and Pomegranates, was the perfect floral accessory to match. James is in the running for our most dapper groom of the year and was channeling major James Bond vibes. For this Mr. and Mrs, spending their day walking into their forever in a modern, yet timeless chapel and venue with lots of natural lighting and endless photo opportunities was always written in the cards and that is exactly what they found at Loretto Chapel and La Fonda on the Plaza.

#WeddingWednesday is in full effect and has me smiling from ear to ear, capture after capture, because the connection that Caley and James share is not only electric but their playfulness is palpable and IMO that might be the most endearing quality when it comes to romance. Joanne Woodward said, “Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.” We couldn’t agree more Joanne! There were lots of laughs but also lots of profound emotions floating around on this wedding day, just wait until you see the groom’s face when he catches that first glimpse of his bride coming down the aisle… oh my gosh our hearts! So many beautiful things to witness with these two and we hope you will grab some tissue, get cozy, get your scrolling finger and relive this beautiful day with us….

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.
