Elkwood Manor Bed and Breakfast Wedding Venue Review

We love when our photography business takes us traveling. We shot a gorgeous wedding over at the Elkwood Manor Bed and Breakfast that’s located in Pagosa Springs, Colorado last year. Then, we were able to return to the beautiful wedding venue for a review!

Elkwood Manor is a gorgeous place to just disconnect, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery in Pagosa Springs. This Bed and Breakfast is a serene place that is surrounded by great outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, biking and more.

This wedding venue has the feel of a huge cabin in the woods. If you’re looking for a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city to disconnect, realign, and refresh your soul, this is the place for you. The rooms feel like cozy homes away from home.

It was a great place to capture breathtaking wedding portraits. You will LOVE the scenery. The wedding photos from this wedding venue were even featured on the Rocky Mountain Bride blog. Check out the Summer Wedding at Elkwood Manor Bed and Breakfast.

Mariah and Will | A La Fonda Wedding | Santa Fe, NM Wedding Photographer | Santa Fe, NM Wedding Videographers

A La Fonda Wedding in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Mariah and Will had a stunning wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is a wonderful place to be wed. La Fonda is the only hotel situated on the historic Santa Fe Plaza. This area is a wedding photographer’s dream! Or any photographer for that matter.

Santa Fe Plaza is dripping with old-world charm and authentic New Mexican style. I took full advantage of this while I walked the newlyweds around for some great shots on their wedding day.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Carter delved straight into New Mexico culture with their entire wedding. You can see the Southwest style in each detail, from the bright orange and red flowers in the bride’s bouquet to the turquoise jewelry and different shades of blue and turquoise bridesmaids dresses.

Not to mention the cute cactuses on their wedding invitations! And when you get to the bottom of the photos you’ll see the mariachi band leading the wedding party to their next destination. I loved every bit of it!

Mariah and Will were such sweethearts and I fully enjoyed working with each of them to make their wedding dreams a reality. We captured the love, the laughter, and the tears. They will be able to look back on the very special moments of each reciting their uniquely written wedding vows to each other whenever they need a little reminder of where it all started.

This is what I live for! Capturing each special moment for my couples to cherish forever. So beautiful!

If you haven’t noticed yet, La Fonda at the Plaza is an overwhelmingly stunning location to have a wedding. Everywhere you turn there is another great photo location. The buildings are all breathtaking and Southwest culture is in every little thought out detail that you can see.

This truly is an unforgettable wedding destination. La Fonda has a special place in history as the oldest hotel corner in America! City records date the hotel all the way back to 1607 when the Spaniards founded the city.
