Local Bed and Breakfast Hosting Elopements During Pandemic

Local Bed and Breakfast Hosting Elopements During Pandemic

Even though absolutely everything in New Mexico was closed, this couple eloped to Taos to enjoy a quite and private week together while they tied-the-knot! They stayed at Hacienda del Sol bed and breakfast and loved the mountain views and the golden leaves. The October weather was warm and offered such amazing backgrounds for their outdoor autumn wedding. Stephanie wore a pink wedding dress and white boots. Christopher wore a turquoise tie that looked dapper with the professional bouquet and crown of flowers from Enchanted Florist. This couple travelled all the way from New Orleans and enjoyed the difference in culture, climate, food, and fun that the southwest has to offer. Congratulations to a fun and adventurous bride and groom!

Beautiful Proposal and Engagement Photo Session

This marriage proposal happened on the most amazing night. The wind was brisk and gusty, but it calmed down for our shoot! The sky turned the most magical color of blue. This is a match made in heaven and a marriage that will last forever!! Leah and Kasey enjoyed a weekend up in Taos to get away from Albuquerque during the pandemic. They stayed at local bed and breakfast Adobe and Pines where their proposal took place! We went to local hiking trails south of Taos for the photos on the mesa and the beautiful blue sky.

Wedding in Large Catholic Church During Pandemic

Wedding in Large Catholic Church During Pandemic

This bride was one of the calmest brides I’ve ever met. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Karen’s wedding ceremony was rescheduled, and then rescheduled again. The venues that she originally chose changed, and changed again. Her guest list went from over 300 to less than 100 guests. Her wedding party was uncertain on attending. The state of New Mexico completely shut down, and then partially opened and shut down again. And Karen handled everything with poise and grace! By wearing masks for most of the ceremony, socially distancing their guests, and minimizing all contact with friends and family, Karen and David were able to experience their 2020 pandemic wedding and it will be one to remember!

A Private Destination Elopement in A Sacred Circle

A Private Destination Elopement in A Sacred Circle

These newlyweds have such a beautiful love story. Gina and Miles are both investigative reporters…cool, right?! Uncool that their careers keep them in different parts of the United States…but they accept it in stride and look forward to a retirement living together somewhere of there dreams. Gina and Miles both came from separate house afar to Taos, NM to enjoy their private pandemic-elopement in the sacred circle at the El Monte Sagrado resort. Although their wedding plans took a giant pivot, these lovebirds flowed with the pandemic and the changes it brought to their should-be-in-Hawaii-50-guest-wedding. Gina laughed as she showed me she was wearing her wedding beach shoes, that she had originally purchased for walking on sand. The falling leaves and dry crisp mountain air was the opposite of a summertime island wedding, but the goal was met after the vows were said and the license was signed. Per usual, Dan Jones of Embracing Ceremony wrote a gorgeous ceremony that was a beautiful reflection of their love.

We met exactly one hour prior to sunset and Mother Earth gave this couple the most beautiful wedding gift on their elopement…a perfect evening. The highlights in the sky were striking and continued to change during their 15-minute wedding ceremony which is part of Dan Jones’ elopement packages for his business, Embracing Ceremony. Cory, the groom, “hates” getting his photo taken, but Erin, the bride, wanted their once-in-a-lifetime elopement documented for future generations. We (including Cory!) had so much fun during this hour! We hiked and laughed and made memories. Here’s to fun destination elopements and enjoying the beauty of Taos, NM at the Rio Grande Bridge!
