Savoy Bar and Grill Wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Congratulations AnnaMarie and Joe! It was an honor to be a part of your special day amongst your loved ones! AnnaMarie and Joe had a very intimate wedding at Savoy Bar and Grill in Albuquerque, New Mexico where they had both their wedding ceremony and reception with delicious food from the restaurant.

It was a beautiful fall-themed wedding with pumpkins adorned with orange and yellow flowers with green foliage spilling over onto the tables that were draped in white. The bride held a flower bouquet that was burnt orange and the groom matched with his boutonniere.

The colors were absolutely beautiful!

AnnaMarie was stunning in her lace halter gown with a plunging neckline. She finished her look with a shining tiara, perfect for a bride on her special day. The couple said their I do’s in front of a large stone fireplace. Closely surrounded by their loved ones, they shared their first kiss as husband and wife! So beautiful!

We gathered their friends and family together for some lovely wedding photos they can look back on for years to come, remembering everyone who was there to support them. After the ceremony excitement, the family gathered around the flower-adorned gourds to enjoy a meal together in celebration of AnnaMarie and Joe’s marriage.

Then the newlyweds stepped out into the courtyard for their first dance as husband and wife. It was a very intimate, special moment for them to step away from the crowd and be able to focus on each other for a moment.

It doesn’t take a huge expensive venue, multiple bridesmaids and groomsmen, and all the bells and whistles to have a great wedding. What’s important is the promise the bride and groom are making to each other to always cherish and love each other. It’s not about the gifts the guests bring, it’s about their company and their support of such a beautiful commitment.

When planning your wedding, do what works for you. And make sure you capture each special moment to cherish for years to come as you do the important work of building your marriage on the strong foundation of love.

The wide grey stone stairway was my favorite spot for wedding photographs. The stairs swept upward in a seemingly endless fashion behind the wedding party for a unique backdrop that captures the eye.

The bright grey stone went flawlessly with the steel-colored suits the groomsmen wore and the maroon bridesmaid’s dresses. '

The brick pathways and wooden beams were other pleasant surprises for a wedding photographer. The architecture left us with modern accents throughout Shaina and Hector’s wedding photos. The National Hispanic Cultural Center has definitely made its way onto my list of exceptional wedding venues.

The bride and groom had an outdoor wedding surrounded by friends and family. Shaina carried a beautiful flower bouquet that featured bright yellow sunflowers. Later in the night, they moved inside for their reception and a little surprise… They’re expecting! Instead of the traditional cake cutting ceremony, they threw in a little twist and had a gender reveal right there!

They cut into the cake that was filled with colored icing that would reveal the gender of their new baby, and we made sure to capture the excitement on their faces as they found out, in front of their loved ones, that they’re having a…

All of this in the company of family and friends. These two have a lot to celebrate, and celebrate they did!

I was just as pleasantly surprised with the reception area at the National Hispanic Cultural Center as I was with the outside area! You can see that a lot of thought and detail went into these buildings. Large wooden beams and elegant light fixtures accented the space making for more beautiful wedding photography.

Sarah had a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that was wild and very elegant all at the same time. A beautiful standout bouquet can really make the bride’s wedding photos pop. This would be one of those special bouquets. It went perfectly with her long flowing lace wedding gown and veil. The groom, Zach complimented her well with his blue suit, burgundy tie, and rose boutonniere.

They had a very intimate wedding with close family all around to celebrate their union. La Posada is the quaint wedding venue their ceremony and reception were held at.

The night began with a courtyard ceremony at sunset where each professed their love for each other and vowed to cherish their marriage forever. After the ceremony, we took a stroll around Santa Fe Plaza to capture the beauty of Santa Fe and this newlywed couple.

I love capturing wedding photos between the brightly painted wooden beams in Santa Fe, they make really beautiful photographs. Sarah and Zach

At the reception, an exquisite meal was served to the entire family who gathered around a long table with the bride and groom to celebrate their big day. Dinner started with a green leaf salad and a toast from the father of the bride. The family enjoyed an elegant meal before the bride and groom hit the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife.

The two shared some laughter and loving gazes as they danced into their new life together. Then the rest of the family joined them for some fun on the dance floor. Later on, the father of the bride joined her for a special father-daughter dance; the mother of the groom followed suit with her son in a special dance signifying a handing off of their children to become one and begin a family of their own.
