As a Taos wedding photographer, I can say that this wedding venue has some of the best mountain view of sacred Taos Mountain. Located in El Prado, “SpiriTaos” is an evolving and whimsical garden which most recently added tall raptor rests. This bride and groom came from out of state for their destination micro wedding. I love how the bride’s dress matches the gorgeous New Mexico blue sky.

This fun couple had such a great wedding date…1-11-22! Although this couple traveled to Arroyo Hondo from Texas and the temperature was 26 degrees I don’t think Carrie and Matt felt the cool air one bit. The elopement on their rental’s porch had beautiful views and a blue fire burned nearby. We captured the obligatory frisking shots since Matt is a cop. This lawyer/cop team are on their way to happily ever after! Congratulations!

This Louisiana couple came to Taos, NM to elope! They tied the knot at Hacienda del Sol under the bare cottonwoods. Charlie, the chihuahua puppy wore a tuxedo. The turquoise trim and gate added beautiful color to the photos. A first dance followed the evening ceremony and then we went to the Rio Grande gorge to capture some photos during the sunset.
