Elopement Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico

COVID didn’t stop Shelby and Chris from saying “I do!” Despite changing their plans from a big wedding to a small, intimate elopement, the joy was still so obvious for this sweet couple! 2020 has brought many challenges and they graciously adapted and chose to seal their vows in the gorgeous Sandia Mountain foothills in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

There was so much beauty in this photo session from the bride’s stunning lace gown from Ann Matthews Bridal , to the gorgeous pale pink, rich red, and green florals from ABQ Florist, all the way down to sweet details at the altar. I hope they cherish these images for an eternity as they chose to celebrate their love and overcome a difficult season!

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.

Wedding Color Palettes 2020 | Wedding Photographer Albuquerque, NM | Wedding Photographer Santa Fe, NM

Stunning Wedding Color Palettes from Our Very Own Wedding Couples!

Sometimes wedding season feels like a blur of colorful bridesmaids dresses, fresh flowers, groomsmen, and gorgeous decor. It’s an exciting whirlwind of beautiful moments. I took some time today to organize a few of the breathtaking weddings we’ve shot in the past year to look at the color palettes they went with. There are so many choices when it comes to the color scheme of your wedding.

You want colors that add to the beauty of your wedding and don’t muddy up or detract from such a memorable occasion. The first color palette I have below is perfect for a summer or spring wedding. The pops of orange really bring the feel of those seasons.

The next color palette is for my edgy brides. We had a whole bridal party with some amazing tattoo sleeves. I think this color palette really emphasized the edgy side of this bride. Different shades of grey and a light indigo blue color bring a cool modern look to this wedding.

And lastly, we have a country, cowboy boots and all, look. Pale rose and dusty blues bring this country wedding look together. Add some green foliage and an amazing farm wedding venue and you will have this look nailed!

Are there any other types of color palettes you’d like to see? Leave a comment below to let us know. If you’d like to go on the search for more great color palettes, head over to our wedding gallery here.
