Sandia Resort and Casino Wedding Photography | Lauren Cherie Photography

Lauren Cherie Photography had the privilege of photographing this wonderful couple’s wedding at Sandia Resort & Casino. From the beautiful Southwestern setting to the joy shared by their families, there was so much to capture throughout their celebration.

A Beautiful Southwestern Wedding Setting

With its adobe-style architecture and beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains, Sandia Resort & Casino offered a stunning backdrop for this couple’s wedding photographs. Nestled on Native reservation land rich in history and culture, the setting added a sense of place to their special day.

We loved incorporating the architecture and mountain scenery into their portraits. These surroundings brought the beauty of New Mexico into photographs the couple can treasure for years to come.

Magazine-Worthy Wedding Portraits

Our team enjoyed working with this wonderful couple and helping them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We guided them through their posed portraits, offering direction on where to stand, how to turn, and how to connect with one another.

At Lauren Cherie Photography, we love creating those beautiful, magazine-worthy photographs—the portraits that make you pause and remember how special your wedding day felt. Thoughtful posing and a gorgeous backdrop help us create images that deserve a place in your wedding album and on your walls.

Candid Moments That Tell Your Story

We also love the moments that happen naturally. Throughout the wedding, we captured fun candid photographs of the families’ expressions, preserving smiles, laughter, and heartfelt reactions.

These photographs bring another layer to a wedding collection. Alongside the carefully posed portraits, they help you remember the people who celebrated with you and the emotion of the day.

Your Wedding, Beautifully Remembered

Our approach blends polished wedding portraits with candid storytelling. We want you to look back at your photographs and remember both the beauty of your celebration and the joy of being surrounded by the people you love.

Thank you to this wonderful couple for giving Lauren Cherie Photography the honor of capturing your wedding at Sandia Resort & Casino. Our team loved being part of your special day!

Summer and Brandon | A Sandia Event Center Wedding | Sandia Event Center Wedding Photographers | Albuquerque Wedding Videographers

A Sandia Event Center Wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico

We had the honor of being the wedding photographers and wedding videographers for Summer and Brandon’s beautiful Sandia Event Center wedding! We, of course, LOVE photography and being able to capture each special moment between newlywed husband and wife, but there’s just an extra special element to videography.

Our couples who hire us for both wedding photography and videography get to relive their wedding moments in great detail as if they’re back in their tuxes and gowns all over again.

Each sound, expression, and bout of laughter can be viewed and heard over and over again with a wedding highlight film from us…. YOU get to be the star of your own romance film. Watch Summer and Brandon’s magical wedding film below to see for yourself.

This stunning wedding took place at the Sandia Event Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The landscaping at this wedding venue is absolutely breathtaking! Plus, they have an amazing view of our beautiful mountain range.

Sandia’s event lawn gives all the greenery needed for bright outdoor wedding photos. And they have a glistening pond of water… not too bad for our little slice of desert here in Albuquerque.

The wedding party looked amazing! The ladies wore burgundy bridesmaids dresses and the men came to impress with their charcoal slacks and vests accentuating the bridesmaids with their burgundy ties.

Summer wore a strapless lace wedding gown with a long veil flowing from her chic updo. While her newlywed husband, Brandon subtly stood out from the groomsmen with his charcoal blazer.

The groomsmen had some fun with their socks. Each wore a pair that was unique to them. These are always fun pictures to take! I spot Captain America, Hey Arnold, Cookie Monser, Donuts, and… black socks? Really? Too funny!

We had pretty great weather during their wedding for the most part, except when some rain decided to come down. But, never fear! We’re always prepared! Not only that, but these umbrellas make great photo props! Check them out below!

What a great looking group of people! They make my job easy! I really enjoyed capturing all of these special moments for Summer and Brandon. They will forever have these photos and their highlight video to cherish as they live their “happily ever after” together.

Do you have a wedding coming up!? We would love to sit down with you and discuss your vision for your wedding day. We have gotten to travel all over Albuquerque and its surrounding areas to different wedding venues to shoot many different weddings. So, if you need wedding ideas, we’ve got them!

Hayley and Kelbey's April Wedding | Best Outdoor Wedding 2019 | Wedding Photography

Hayley and Kelbey’s Beautiful Outdoor Wedding 2019

Hayley and Kelbey had an enchanting Spring wedding at Sandia Resort & Casino. This New Mexico wedding venue is the perfect place for an outdoor wedding. The location boasts stunning mountain views, as they are located near the Sandia Mountains. Check out the breathtaking venue for yourself in the wedding photography below.

Sandia Resort and Casino ranks high on the list of must-have venues for outdoor weddings in New Mexico. This wedding venue takes care of everything from tons of event space to catering options and an Event Planner to help make your special day perfect. You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so keep scrolling to see more of Hayley and Kelbey’s stunning wedding photography.

This wedding was so beautiful, more than words could ever say. I mean, look at those flower bouquets! This wasn’t the work of a florist they hired, but their very own family. Can you believe it? These lush green bouquets came out so uniquely stunning. The periwinkle bridesmaid‘s dresses popped behind the ravishing flower bouquets making for some fabulous photography shots.

Everything about this outdoor wedding was put together so beautifully. The Sandia Resort and Casino venue complimented the efforts put into picking out every design detail. Our beautiful blue New Mexico skies resting above our majestic mountain range and Sandia’s luscious green grass below tied the whole breathtaking outdoor wedding together. There is no point in perfecting the flowers, groomsmen outfits, bridesmaid dresses, the wedding gown and everything in between if you don’t have a stunning venue to complement your hard work.

Another thing we’ve noticed about Sandia Resort and Casino is that it makes travel arrangements for friends and family so convenient! The resort is located only minutes from the Albuquerque International Sunport and they can stay right where your wedding venue is located inside one of Sandia’s enchanting southwestern rooms.

We have done wedding photography for numerous weddings held at Sandia Resort and Casino and I can say that it never disappoints. Their land is a stunning backdrop for all types of photography that you can look back on to cherish every special moment, especially the day you marry the love of your life.

There are many good reasons to choose an outdoor wedding for your special day. It has the flexibility of catering to a huge guest list for big families or an intimate wedding with your closest loved ones. Also, natural lighting is a professional photographer’s dream. Outdoor weddings often have more decor possibilities than an indoor wedding that can sometimes restrict your options.

Whether you choose a big beautiful chapel, a mountainous outdoor wedding, or travel to elope on a sandy beach, you want to make sure that you have a photographer who can adapt to all environments for the best pictures. We believe that we are that photographer and our gallery of different weddings prove it.
