Darcy and Brian were wed under a chuppah. Symbolically, the chuppah is a house that represents that the bride and groom’s life will be spent together. The wedding ceremony took place at El Monte Sagrado’s Sacred Circle and was set up in a circular fashion. The reception was a festive occasion with lawn games outdoors and a cocktail hour before a sit down dinner was served.
We are constantly shooting photo sessions for head shots for Taos small business owners! Our head shot shoots usually only take 35-40 minutes and you have 30+ photographs (and almost as many different poses) to choose from. Head shots aren’t only awesome for businesses, but they also work great for Facebook profile photos, online dating photos, and gifts for friends and family.
What fun to document the first time that same sex marriage licenses were issued in Taos County! New Mexicans came to the courthouse to pick up their marriage licenses and to get married! At least four weddings took place immediately, directly in front of the Taos County Courthouse. There were tears of joy and sounds of happiness as people finally began their “legal” road of “happily ever after.”
Lia and Brandon were married in the Sacred Circle at the El Monte Sagrado. Wedding day started out with extremely rainy conditions but the weather cleared up in perfect timing for the arrival of the guests and the sun came out just as the by the beautiful bride walked down the aisle.
There is nothing like the feeling of a small and intimate wedding. This bride and groom came to Taos, NM to tie the knot and celebrate their love with only one another. They will have a reception celebration in Albuquerque, NM after they return from their honeymoon.
