A NOTE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Under the beautiful sky of Taos, New Mexico, Georgia and Tucker’s wedding unfolded on a blissfully overcast summer day. The ceremony took place on the property of their family’s stunning home, surrounded by their close loved ones. Followed by the ceremony they all gathered at the beautiful Stakeout. The atmosphere was relaxed elegance, as guests mingled, shared stories, and enjoyed the stunning landscape. As the evening wore on, the soft lighting of candles and fairy lights created a magical ambiance. The night was filled with joyful laughter and dancing, as the clouds above held the promise of a perfect beginning to their life together. - Sam, Samantha Cherie Photography

Karla and Jeff are such an adorable couple. From the moment I met them, it was clear they were head over heels for each other. Their wedding was held in a gorgeous backyard of a family member’s home in the heart of Corrales. They even treated their guests to a special experience with brick oven pizza from Scarpas, it was such an intimate touch that everyone really seemed to enjoy. Mariachi Differencia brought an authentic New Mexican flavor to the reception, they were so talented and entertaining! One of my favorite moments of the day was Karla’s funny surprise for Jeff. She and his best man orchestrated a hilarious prank by having the best man make a surprise appearance in a wedding dress. Jeff’s reaction was absolutely priceless and was a perfect, lighthearted icebreaker before the ceremony. This was such an intimate and heartwarming wedding, one of my faves thus far!

I would say my favorite memory that day was the first look prank with the best man. Jeff and I always try to make each other laugh. So doing this right before the ceremony made the nerves go away and helped set the tone for the rest of the evening. It was perfect and very true to our relationship. - Karla, Bride

A NOTE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Kathryn and Dontae’s wedding day encompassed so much elegance, emotion, and raw, genuine love. During their elegant ceremony under the pavillion, the air was filled with the delicate scent of blooming florals, complemented by the gentle patter of light raindrops. Under a canopy of soft clouds, the bride and groom exchanged vows amidst a backdrop of lush greenery and vibrant blossoms. Laughter and joy echoed through the garden as family and friends celebrated the union of two souls deeply in love. With each tender glance and heartfelt embrace, it was clear that this day was not just about a ceremony, but a timeless celebration of enduring love and happiness.
