A Gazebo Wedding at Taos Plaza
In lieu of the construction in and around of the Taos Plaza for the next year, I thought a blog post on a wedding in the gazebo at Taos plaza was a good tribute. This wedding happened on May 5th several years ago, so a very similar time of year as now. The weather, however, is amazingly differently than shown in these photos. We had snow falling in town this morning, which is not unusual for April or May.
The Taos Plaza was established in 1796 and has been a venue for meetings, gatherings, and celebrations for over two centuries.
The adobe buildings on the plaza are all connected and are a simple and beautiful New Mexico background, especially with the hanging chile ristras. The Taos plaza gazebo is one of our larger elopement package choices for a venue. This venue is unavailable until next year, and we’ll be ready to shoot the plaza after the facelift of the old jailhouse.
Taos Ski Valley Outdoor Wintertime Wedding
If you want a snowy winter wonderland wedding, look no further than the Taos Ski Valley in wintertime! The ski valley has mountains of snow in the winter and is a gorgeous backdrop with the blue skies and aspen trees. Kiersten and Andrew had their micro wedding in Taos and their friends came to watch! About 20 guests stood in the snow for the ceremony and screamed Mazel Tov! when the champagne sprayed everywhere at the 95000 foot elevation.
Wintertime Elopement in the Mountains of Questa
Linsey and Nathan had a destination elopement in February in Questa, NM. When Linsey booked this elopement package she knew she was taking risks with an outdoor winter wedding in the mountains. We ordered good weather. Linsey and Nathan’s wedding week was stormy but their wedding day was a perfect. It was 50 degrees, calm, and dry. The wedding ceremony was officianted by religious and included special bible verses that Sajit delivered. The mountains, pinon trees, and patches of snow were beautiful under the cloudy New Mexico sky. Linsey word a gorgeous two piece Bohemian style wedding dress with long lace sleeves. Linsey’s stunning wedding bouquet included fresh pink, peach, and white roses with dried willow, protea, and pampas grass.
Winter Elopement at SpiriTaos in El Prado
This young couple drove from Texas to Taos, NM to elope at SpiriTaos in El Prado. When I asked them if anyone knew about their wedding, Mikayla responded, “Yes, and my mom is so mad that she’s not here!” This bride and groom were absolutely delightful: super easy going, funny, and clever. It was cold outside but the sun came out and warmed everyone up at the perfect moments. Congratulations to a beautiful and unique couple!
