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.

These brides came all the way from Portland, Oregon to be married in this magical little mountain town! Both lovers of Taos and the outdoors, the wedding ceremony was under the cottonwoods in the late afternoon. Small and intimate, this wedding was both Christian and Jewish and the Ketubah was signed! The tiny reception was complete with a cake cutting and nearly a cake stabbing!

These women are awesome. Not only are they newlyweds expecting their first baby, they are sentimental, brilliant, and funny! Their wedding included their six favorite people in the whole world, standing in a semicircle around them. Officiant Dan Jones wrote the most beautiful ceremony that encapsulated the nature and emotions that surrounded the brides and their guests (there wasn’t a dry eye in the group). After the intimate wedding ceremony, Hacienda del Sol hosted a mini reception serving wedding cake and local champagne. Kelsey and April cut their wedding cake and toasted to their future. We walked around and captured a few shots with the brides and their moms. The awesome ring picture shows that April’s ring was too small for her swollen ring finger as it’s on her pinky…her pregnant belly shows in the background of that one.
Congratulations to this new partnership of wife and wife, and to the new baby that will be completing this couple in August. Happily ever after in Taos!

Pandemic Wedding Elopement with Best Friends

Since traveling by air is considered risky behavior during a pandemic, this bride and groom brought their best friends to Taos, NM on a road trip all the way from San Francisco! We had perfect weather for this December wedding and with the wedding ceremony and mini-reception taking place outdoors. The sun was overhead and warm during the afternoon ceremony overlooked by Taos Mountain.
