THE DAY
Sweetest
CELESTE & BRANDON | OCTOBER 1, 2017 “Time has passed, but I can still hear Celeste saying in her vows, ‘This may seem like the start of a new journey, but to me...it feels like coming home.’ My heart almost burst, and the lump came to my throat quickly as I held back tears. When you’re marrying your soul mate, your best friend, it’s home. She couldn’t have said it better.”

- Kayla Kitts Photography
Kayla Kitts Photography - Real Wedding The forecast said the weekend was bringing HUGE storms, and it was right. But lucky for us, the clouds parted as Sunday arrived, and Celeste and Brandon’s wedding day was filled with the most gorgeous weather full of sunshine and the slightest breeze. It fit the day perfectly, as everything else was absolutely beautiful as well. We all kept saying how Celeste looked like a Barbie / Princess / Mrs. America, and their sweet love could keep you enamored all day. They celebrated with family and friends at Hotel Albuquerque, and danced the night away with sweet dance moves. Loved ones toasted to the new couple, a couple that everyone can see is deeply in love, and filled with the biggest hearts a duo could have. It was so wonderful and I think I speak for the entire guest list when I say we’ll remember that as a day that reminds you of what’s important, and the power of love.

White Mesa
a stylized desert elopement on
"It is so easy to find inspiration in the beautiful landscape that surrounds us in our state of New Mexico. From the pink Sandia mountains that tower over Albuquerque’s city to the unique white mesas that wind through the Land of Enchantment’s desert. For this inspired elopement, Teresa Romero designed a unique gold, blush and cream gown with a high neckline. She went for a more victorian look than boho, which we see so much of in the desert landscape photoshoots. Tying in the rich New Mexico sunset, Table and Vase created a bouquet of lush creamy pink dahlias draped in beautiful ribbon from Desert Garden Silk. Couple, Monica and Dan, walked hand in hand over the beautiful terrain stealing sunset kisses from each other making this shoot something out of a dream."

EMILY & MICHAEL | JULY 8, 2017 “Emily and Michael’s wedding was inspired by the rich and colorful landscape of northern New Mexico in the summer. They wanted their wedding to reflect the vibrant New Mexican culture while also being deeply personal. Thoughtful and fun touches included a “flow chart” escort card by the genius EJD Designs and mini chile ristras for their out of town guests to take home.”

THE DAY
Sweetest ALYSSA & PORFIRIO | AUGUST 26, 2017
“Without the help of our amazing vendors, our wedding vision of an elegant, picturesque day would not have been possible. It was clear to us why we would choose the Event Center at Sandia Golf Club as our reception venue. The view of the Sandia mountains and the view of the NM sunset is breathtaking! A lover of sunsets, I knew that having this perfect location was a must.”

- Bride, Alyssa
Event Center at Sandia Golf Club - Real Wedding We put our trust into the experts and they transformed our vision into a reality. From the candles and candelabras to the orchids and chiavari chairs; From the up-lighting and selfie mirror photo-booth to the iridescent cake and customized M&M wedding favors; From the significance of the memory table to the creativity behind the ring-bearer pillow, it is evident that we not only wanted to incorporate meaningful symbolism within the smallest of details but also wanted to ensure that the details reflected “us� as a couple. With all of that said, we are most grateful for our talented photographers and cinematographers who captured the day in ways that tell our love story even after the wedding day has come and gone. We will forever cherish these beautiful memories and could not have asked for a more exceptional team than the one that made our picture-perfect wedding day possible.

GRACE & JACK | SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 “Jack and I, both generational Memphians have grown up visiting Santa Fe and I’ve toured throughout the state of New Mexico for almost a decade, as a full-time singer-songwriter. There is something healing, therapeutic and uniquely romantic about the city and we wanted all of our closest friends and family members to witness it’s grandeur and magic as well.” 74
- Bride, Grace
La Fonda on the Plaza - Real Wedding We chose La Fonda on the Plaza for it’s spectacular, un-beatable rooftop view over downtown Santa Fe, with the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, as our backdrop. Naomi Fiske, a native to Santa Fe, officiated the ceremony using a blend of traditional Native American and New Mexican blessings with our two flower girls sprinkling blue corn flour and flower petals at our feet. Cathedral bells tolled several times during the ceremony, the air smelled of burning sweet grass and White Sage, and the Autumnal arrangements by Margaret Bost were perfectly placed to top off the already naturally gorgeous design of La Fonda. We wanted to keep the feel of the wedding intimate and personable and Samie Doerfler, the in-house La Fonda planner, ensured that our special day was just that and more; by keeping a dynamic flow for the guests, including a mariachi band popping out, surprising the guests, playing “Can’t Help Falling In Love with You,” as soon as we were pronounced husband and wife. We had to pay homage to our Memphis roots with some Elvis, of course! This was swiftly followed by the entire wedding party doing a procession behind the Mariachi band through the downtown plaza, an old La Fonda tradition to ensure a solid marriage.

“Not long after I met Justin, I knew that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. Six years later he finally proposed and I got to start planning my dream wedding! I knew I wanted my theme to be very classic. I wanted to be able to look at my wedding photos on our fiftieth anniversary and fall more in love with every detail.� 82
- Bride, Emily
Maura Jane Photography - Real Wedding Lavender fields...peonies... chiffon BHLDN gowns... Emily and Justin’s wedding is what Pinterest dreams are made of. Taking place at the beautiful historic Los Poblanos Farm, the couple was wed on their lush green lawn under a canopy of roses. Emily looked stunning in her beautiful strapless Martina Liana gown with peonies in her hand that matched her bridesmaids flowing BHLDN pale pink dresses perfectly. Guests enjoyed sangria and margaritas as they ate yummy custom cookies from Albucookie by the estates beautiful swimming pool. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Emily’s parents gave their toasts and spoke of how this sweet couple have been together since high school. It was such an honor to photograph this beautiful wedding and work with Emily and Justin.

Our vendors
spilled the beans! We asked Albuquerque + Santa Fe wedding professionals to divulge their best kept secrets of the local industry. Lucky for you, we’re terrible at keeping secrets, so read on for some of our favorite tips + tricks for making the most out of your wedding day. 115
the dress
“ Remember to keep an open mind in terms of designer and style. A dress always looks different on the body than it does on the rack! Choose your consultation par ty wisely. When deciding who to bring, limit it to those whose opinions matter the most. Make sure to start looking for and order a dress early on! It can take can up to 3-9 months, especially for bigger designers, for a dress customized to your specifications to come in. If you’re a bride on a budget, don’t hesitate to ask your dress shop for discontinued dresses. You will almost always receive a bargain on those kinds of gowns.” - Darlene, Bridal Elegance by Darlene
on cake
“Here’s one of the thriftiest wedding cake hacks out there: instead of creating one extravagant cake that can feed all of your guests, have your baker create a small cake for the cake-cutting, pictures, and feeding a few guests. Then, have a simpler, easy to cut sheet cake that can be hidden away and cut up afterwards for all your wedding guests to enjoy. You can also utilize a dummy tier out of foam. Many bakeries can help achieve the look of a multi-tiered wedding cake for less by substituting decorated foam tiers in between real tiers of cake. This will be a blessing to your bank account... trust us!” - Birdie, The Cake Boutique 116
“When it comes to selecting a venue,
the general advice you will get is to think about the basics: the price and the capacity. However, the process of selecting a venue can really make or break your planning experience. Once you have selected one, it should be a place that leaves you feeling completely confident about your big day, not frustrated or depleted. Once all of the planning is done, every little thing will come together and it will center around the venue, so ask the tough questions and make sure that you trust the venue to execute your vision.”
- Lauren, The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club
“Remember,
this is the time in your life that you will be the most photographed. Why not make the most of it and be camera ready at all times? When booking your wedding trial run with your hair and makeup artist, book your engagement pictures directly after. Or perhaps plan it to be done on the morning of your bridal shower, that way you can be camera ready for the shower.” - Ric Kent, Hair and Makeup Artist
for invites
“We’re happy to do as minimal, or as much as you need for your wedding invitations. You can buy the paper from us and print them yourself. You can even bring in your own design that we would be more than happy to print. You can have us design, print, assemble, address and even go to the post office for you!” -Pennysmiths Paper
117
“Going the extra mile isn’t extra, it’s who we are.” “One of our biggest secrets is centered around your event experience. We always strive to give more value than contracted. Sometimes it includes additional gear for sound or lighting, or maybe it’s a custom monogram or our 360 media guru footage. It’s always something that enhances your event experience beyond the original scope. Going the extra mile isn’t extra, it’s who we are.” -Chris, Cutmaster Music
your photos
“When choosing a photographer first look at the different styles that each photographer offers and narrow it down to ones that really vibe with your taste and personality. A lot of photographers offer beautiful trendy photos with lots of filters and moodiness which is something we do not do. While our shooting style is natural and romantic, our editing style is clean and classic, so when you look at your photos 10 years from now you still love them just as much as the first day you saw them.” -Maura, Maura Jane Photography 118
Last, but not least “For big weddings, an open air photo booth is a must! Whether you’re taking a quick snap with your bestie or capturing your entire wedding party, it’s the versatility you will depend on. On the other hand, a traditional, enclosed booth maybe more fitting if you’re having an intimate celebration; it’s always good to check out both options! Never be afraid to ask for references from either your venue or your photographer and be sure to follow up with an interview. Book early because typically dates fill up fast. And as for the challenge, have fun with it! Have your guests do things like tell a story in three pictures, get a picture with the mother of the bride or the loudest person at the wedding. It gets the guests to laugh more and branch out to mingle!” -Celia, Selfie Sensations
THE DAY
Sweetest
ERIN & ZACH | AUGUST 6, 2017
“The day was perfect, from the way Erin’s dress fit her like a glove, to the sweet way Zach looked at his beautiful bride with pure, overflowing love.”
120
- Kayla Kitts Photography
Kayla Kitts Photography - Real Wedding Erin and Zach met in college in Colorado, and spent their days walking to classes together while their love story began. They quickly fell in love, and since then have moved to Arizona together. When we captured their engagement session in Phoenix, it was easy to see that Erin carries herself with such class, and Zach is absolutely smitten with everything about her. I knew right away that their wedding day would be filled with poise and joy, and I was absolutely right. They gathered in the gardens of Casas de Suenos, surrounded by family and friends while they said their vows. Erin and Zach danced the night away under the string lights, with smooth moves and roaring laughter.
