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!

If you’re planning a wedding at Sandia Resort & Casino or elsewhere in New Mexico, we would love to hear about your plans and help you choose a wedding photography package.

Linsey + Donald | A La Fonda Intimate New Year’s Eve Wedding | Santa Fe, NM

Intimate Winter Wedding Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico

How cool is it that Linsey + Donald chose to get married and start their next chapter together on New Year’s Eve? I am so honored that this sweet, not to mention stunning, couple chose me to photograph their small, intimate wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza in historic Santa Fe, New Mexico. Holiday wedding dates can sometimes be tricky, but with the current climate of the world and intimacy of the guest list, I think it was the perfect way to kick off 2021! New year, new love, new beginnings :)

If you haven’t been to La Fonda on the Plaza, which is the only hotel on the plaza in Santa Fe, NM, it is a must see and stay. The amazing architecture and authentic Southwestern decor stud the entire hotel, but also have a modern flair. It is a perfect wedding location right outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico for those that want elegance mixed with a touch of New Mexican culture! Whether you are a local or visitor, you are in for a treat. Santa Fe offers so much history, culture, art, food, and gorgeous views.

It was so much fun to hang out with the bridal party and watch them get ready. Something Ginger did their magic and created the most gorgeous look with hair and make-up on the bride and her girls! I adored Linsey’s classic low bun + natural makeup look that accentuated her natural beauty. She was simply glowing!

The bride’s off the shoulder wedding gown from The Bridal Room seemed to have been made just for her. The delicate lace overlay detail was perfectly paired with a stunning winter white fur wrap. Her bridesmaids also had that special fur detail to accentuate their winter-y velvet bridesmaids gowns. What a beautiful and stylish combo. Loved it so much!

And let’s not forget how dapper the groom Donald looked! A classic black tuxedo suit will never go out of style in my opinion. One of my favorite things about winter weddings is you can add those extra sophisticated touches, fabrics like velvet, fur, and “extras” like jewels, deeper colors, and even make-up choices that perfectly fit in with the wintery vibes the season offers. It is your chance to be bold!

Don’t hesitate to plan your wedding on around a holiday. It creates a lasting memory for all guests, narrows down your theme options and guest list, lowers the likelihood that another couple will have the same date, and it will make your anniversary that much more special every year.

Fall Wedding Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Meghan and Ryan’s Fall October 2020 micro wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico was absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy that despite having to change their original plans from a large wedding to a more intimate gathering due to COVID, they were still able to celebrate with their close friends and family. They even got to keep their original wedding date!

The simple but thoughtful details they put into their wedding from the bridesmaid dresses, to the florals, down to the charming and oh so fitting wedding favors made this such a fun wedding to photograph! The rich purple and dusty lavender hues of the bridesmaid dresses paired gorgeously with the amazing floral bouquets provided by Albuquerque Florist. Meghan’s beautiful lace wedding dress from The Dressing Room West and veil Bridal Elegance by Darlene added the perfect touch to this already breathtaking bride! The guys also looked amazing in their suits from Men’s Warehouse. They were a fun bunch to photograph!

We were able to capture Meghan getting ready and her bridal portraits at Hyatt Regency Tamaya on the Santa Ana Pueblo in New Mexico. This boutique luxury resort is a must see when visiting New Mexico. It offers stunning views and backdrops, pools, amazing fine dining at the Corn Maiden, a unique and luxurious spa experience, and a peak into New Mexico’s local style and flavor. You can even rent a bike and cruise the close by Bosque trails.

The traditional Catholic ceremony took place at Our Lady of the Annunciation Church where this sweet couple was joined by their closest friends and family! I love when couples are able to marry tradition with modern touches in a elegant way.

I always get extra excited when couple’s choose to add videography to their wedding investment. Learn more about our videography package here.
