timeless romance “Life without love, is no life at all.” – Leonardo da Vinci While love remains timeless, traditional weddings are changing. Weddings today break free of monotony and add unique elements that tell the couple’s story and personality more than ever before. This styled shoot aimed to embrace the modern wedding while keeping the simplicity of love in the forefront. Tessa’s Rime Arodaky pantsuit was the epicenter. Pairing this modern fashion with the Old World style of the El Rey Court was the perfect fit. Elements of Mustard and Sage were added to highlight the whites and add a punch of color to the setting. - Coryn Kiefer Photography

Emilee + Benjamin | September 21, 2019 The wedding of Emilee and Ben can be described by one word: stunning! Their wedding was truly one of pure elegance, mixed with timeless decor elements and floral arrangements. Their reception decor filled the ballroom with a soft and romantic ambience. - Lauren, Event Center at Sandia Golf Club There’s no better feeling than marrying your best friend. To be able to do that in such a beautiful setting as the Event Center, with staff that made the day flawless, feels like a dream come true. As an Albuquerque native, having the Sandia Mountains a part of our day was important to me and being able to host all our friends and family was a must. The Event Center and their staff went above and beyond to make our big day perfect and to make us feel like royalty. I wish I could relive the day over 100 more times! - Emilee, Bride Featured Venue: Event Center at Sandia Golf Club Photography: Alicia Lucia Photography Cake: Simply Sweet by Darci Decor + Decorative Florals: Black Swan Events DJ: Cutmaster Music Paper Goods: Funky Olive Invitations + Stationery Groom’s Attire: Icon Suit Bridal Gown: Schaffer’s Bridal Wedding Party Florals: People’s Flowers Hair: D’Ambrosia Designs Hair Studio Groomsmen’s Attire: Mr. Tux Formalwear

Terese Rose Designs | Real Wedding
Joanna + Grant | October 18, 2019 Working with Joanna was a joy! The initial concept was vintage inspired with modern details in mind. Joanna knew she wanted long sleeves, she said “I know it’s Hawaii, but I want something refined and elegant.” She chose a very fine chantilly lace with an intricate floral pattern, very victorian inspired. The fit was designed to be sexy, yet also conservative and it was really important that Joanna felt comfortable, she wanted it to feel airy and light weight. We added a layer of sequined tulle between the layers to give it that little extra something, a subtle surprise when it caught the light just right. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Joanna, she has the biggest heart and deserves all the happiness in the world! - Teresa, Terese Rose Designs

Joanna + Grant | October 18, 2019 After planning for over a year, I did not have to lift a finger on our big day. We chose each of our vendors based on who worked together the most, and we strongly believe that that’s why our day went so smoothly and perfectly. We were able to enjoy the entire day rather than worry about the schedule or logistics. And most importantly, I felt absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable in my dress! - Joanna, Bride

Alicia Lucia Photography | Real Wedding
Lauren + Andrew | September 28, 2019 This September day, was a Southwestern stunner filled with so much love! Lauren and Drew shared an immediate connection after being drawn to each other’s magnetic personalities. While they are eager for their future, they were sure to hold tight to family and tradition. Lauren’s father, who passed five years ago, was honored through the serving of oreos - his favorite and biscochitos - which he and Lauren made together every Christmas, at their dessert bar. Lauren’s mother also sewed her fathers ring into her wedding dress, so he could walk with her down the aisle in spirit. Lauren and Drew’s wedding was truly a day full of love, and makes us feel so privileged to capture these moments for so many couples. - Alicia Lucia Photography

Lauren + Andrew | September 28, 2019 We chose La Mesita Ranch because we loved the beautiful property and breathtaking vistas and felt like it would really wow our mostly East Coast guests. If we were going to ask our friends and family to come all the way to New Mexico we needed to show them the #NewMexicoTrue beauty! We chose many of our vendors after seeing a lot of their work in Alicia’s photos and knowing that we would be in AMAZING hands with each of them - especially in that we were planning from afar. I feel most happy that we rushed to book Alicia and her team because we were floored by how well our pictures came out. It felt as if they captured every great moment and helped us to stay relaxed. - Lauren + Drew, Bride and Groom

southwest meets elegance First things first, the models for this shoot were a real married couple that I had the privilege of photographing on their wedding day. They are so sweet and were so happy to play dress up for us. This Southwest shoot was designed around the dreamy pampas grass. If you’ve seen it, then you know what a trendy addition to floral arrangements it can be. We wanted to showcase that you can have boho details while also having an elegant wedding. When I shared the inspiration board with this stellar group of vendors I knew they would nail it. They all brought together the perfect combination of pieces that were both warm and bright, matching my photography style so well. I love photographing styled shoots to help inspire clients to think outside the box for their day. We have so many great wedding professionals in New Mexico that provide a different service to make your day truly you. Brides, keep this in mind as you plan your big day. - Briana Nicole Photography

Ashlee + Greg | November 8, 2019 We’re a pretty simple couple, so it wasn’t surprising when we picked out details of our wedding, like colors, centerpieces, and yes even our wedding cake within 5 minutes. Needless to say, the Lord has put on our hearts as a couple and as individuals to focus our time and energy on bigger things in life. Things you can’t necessarily get back, things like moments and memories. The Lord has truly blessed Cecilia Fender with the gift to capture those moments. It wasn’t until we received our wedding photos that I was blown away that Cecilia not only captured the highlight moments we wanted, but she captured moments that we forgot about, or had a faint memory of. And because of her, we will always have those memories to look back on. She was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. - Ashlee, Bride

Ashlee + Greg | November 8, 2019 Greg and Ashlee’s wedding was such a dream. It was a perfect New Mexico fall day and everything came together beautifully. Calvary Main Campus was absolutely breathtaking on the day they said “I DO”. The trees were glowing with color and the romantic lighting was the cherry on top. Working in the wedding industry you see so many wonderful wedding trends and one of my favorite things about this wedding was the trendy mismatched bridesmaid dresses. They complemented Ashlee’s stunning light pink wedding dress perfectly! All and all it was a perfect day and I am so thankful to have been a part of it. Congratulations to Greg and Ashlee, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. - Cecilia, Fender Photography Featured Photography: Fender Photography Ceremony Venue: Calvary Chapel Main Campus Reception Venue: Isleta Resort & Casino Bridal Gown: David’s Bridal DJ: Wayne Gallegos Hair: Ruth Lopez Makeup: Chelsea Lee Esthetics

Natalie + Jason | October 12, 2019 On a very lovely Santa Fe day, Jason and Natalie said “I do� with the most spectacular, southwestern-boho wedding ever! These lovers came all the way from Chicago to celebrate the start of forever and they pulled out all the stops. Jason and Natalie met about four years ago and even though Natalie cancelled their first date, Jason was persistent and the two of them finally met. After an eight hour date walking around Lake Michigan, these babes knew they were meant for one another and now, years later, Jason and Natalie live the sweetest life in Chicago with their darling black lab/collie mix, Bartlet. This fall, they began the next chapter of their lives together at the ever beautiful La Fonda on the Plaza. - Alicia Lucia Photography

Natalie + Jason | October 12, 2019 The stellar details incorporated in Jason and Natalie’s day were both stunning and super unique. Natalie made all her glam bridal dreams come true with her gorgeous Ines di Santo gown, complete with hand painted florals and the most epic train we’ve ever laid eyes on. Jason surprised us too with the coolest custom suit around. We’re still trying to pick our jaws up off the floor from the perfect desert inspired cake, complete with pink watercolor cacti. Cheers to more insanely beautiful, out-ofthis-world days and congrats to Jason + Natalie.

Hayley + Jason | August 17, 2019 Hayley + Jason’s wedding was an absolute mid-summer dream. The pair traveled back from Arizona to celebrate with an intimate group of friends and family. The choice to have a smaller wedding was the perfect fit for this laid back pair. You could feel the genuine love in the air from the start of the day until long past when the sun set. Of which we were blessed with one of the most perfect shades of pink the Sandia Mountains could muster. - Coryn, Coryn Kiefer Photography

Katie + Andrew | April 25, 2019 Andrew and I met 5 years ago through mutual family friends while at a party, started dating and then got engaged on Christmas 2017. It took us almost a year and a half to plan our wedding as we wanted it to be elegant and intimate while also being outdoors. Los Poblanos’s property is gorgeous, with the Sandias serving as a backdrop to their lavender fields and all of the giant cottonwoods lining the property. Our wedding day was quite literally, the perfect date (April 25th Miss Congeniality). We couldn’t have asked for a better day. All of our vendors were amazing, but we have to give a special shoutout to Briana and her magic behind the camera. Because of her, we get to relive our wedding day every time we look at our wedding album. - Katie, Bride

All of the wisteria was in full bloom. Katie was such an easy going bride which made the whole day flow perfectly. The details were simple and classic. I am so happy they chose me to be a part of their wedding day. - Briana, Briana Nicole Photography Featured Photography: Briana Nicole Photography Venue: Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm Hair: Bara and Sparrow Makeup Artist: Ashley of Betty Rose by Alanna Florals: Melba’s Flowers Bridal Gown: Bridal Elegance by Darlene Groom’s Attire: Men’s Wearhouse

1920’s modern chic When designing a styled shoot, there are so many themes, so many talented vendors to choose from, and endless inspiration. To me, these shoots are more than showcasing style, but also love. The love that goes into each design by each vendor. The love that brings everyone together to accomplish something like this, and my favorite, the love shared between each couple that we have the honor of capturing. When I chose the 1920’s modern-chic theme, I wanted to showcase timeless style and love. Endless love, rare love, pure and true. I think we sometimes lose sight of the big picture while planning a wedding or event and forget the reason that brings us all together. I want couples to look at these images and feel, even if just a portion, the feeling they get when they see their partner. The feeling of that first kiss, the feeling of knowing you have someone to share life’s burdens and joys with, and the feeling of growing old with someone. The love shared between our couples, vendors and design was immeasurable on this day. - Danessa, Black Bow Events

Alaina + Jack | October 14, 2019 Of Ghost Ranch, the great painter Georgia O’Keeffe said, “Out here, half your work is done for you.” We whole-heartedly agree. Ghost Ranch is one of our favorite places on the planet. And when Alaina and Jack got in touch with us and we learned that they were drawn to the New Mexico landscape because of its stark beauty, we knew we had found some like-minded friends. It was a joy to help them find and partner with some of our very favorite vendors here in New Mexico, and their elopement ended up being a testament to the beauty, uniqueness, and enchanting nature of our state, and the artists that work here. If we could live on Ghost Ranch, we would! Ben’s grandparents visited often and painted scenes from it’s stunning landscape. Ben even wore his grandpa’s bolo tie that he got from the ranch in the 1960s as a little nod to the artists who have come before us to enjoy the beauty of this place. Alaina and Jack’s day was absolute magic, thanks especially to the incredible state we call home. - Carissa, Carissa & Ben Photography

Event Center at Sandia Golf Club | Real Wedding My husband and I have lived in the Land of Enchantment our entire lives. It was a must for us to choose a venue that captured our state’s beauty and complimented its unique cultural aspects. The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club not only had an authentic New Mexican menu but it also had the view of a lifetime. As soon as we stepped foot on the patio I knew this was the place I needed to be to celebrate my wedding with the people I love. We couldn’t have asked for a more loving and exciting day to share with our families at a wonderful venue. It was truly amazing and will forever stay in our hearts as one of the best days of our lives. Thank you Sandia Golf Club for making my dream of a perfect wedding come true! - Rebecca, Bride Featured Venue: Event Center at Sandia Golf Club Photography: Think Harris Photography Florals: Albuquerque Florist Cake: Simply Sweet by Darci Hair & Makeup: Green Reed Spa DJ: Complete Weddings + Events Decor: Black Swan Events
Rebecca + Christopher | June 1, 2019 We believe that all little girls dream of having their fairytale wedding and we believe that all little girls deserve to feel like a princess on their wedding day! The wedding of Becky and Christopher was truly what fairytales are made of. Their special day had an enchanted atmosphere with whimsical touches everywhere. Their centerpieces included small birch trees, dripping with crystals, moss and clusters of floral. One of the most special touches was each centerpiece had a small plane dangling from one of the branches. Christopher is currently undergoing pilot training in the Air Force. Throughout the ballroom, spheres and hanging wreaths with ivy and candlelight hung from the ceiling, which made you feel like you had stepped into an enchanted forest. Regal yet genuine is how we would describe this wedding - just like the one right out of a Cinderella story. - Lauren, Event Center at Sandia Golf Club

A wedding to remember. That’s what we do. Tell your story in photos. We’re documentary photographers keeping an eye out for special moments, laughter, tears, a look and more. Then we artfully design your storybook. A hand crafted album of heirloom quality. We use 2 photographers and primarily use natural light. But we also use artificial light in artistic and dramatic ways. We will spend time to get to know you before that day so we know how best to tell your unique story. 505.800.2543 2339 Gandert Ave SE | Albuquerque ricksaulphoto.com ricksaulphoto@gmail.com 235
