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.

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.

Casas De Suenos Wedding | Best Wedding Venue in New Mexico | Bed and Breakfast Wedding Venue

Old Town Casas De Suenos Bed and Breakfast Wedding Venue

Looking for a cute bed and breakfast wedding venue? Casas De Suenos is just what you’re looking for! Is it the best wedding venue in New Mexico? We like to think it’s at the top of the list with some other great venues around our beautiful state. We have photographed several weddings at this location and love the little southwestern details that make these pictures stand out. See for yourself…

This bed and breakfast located in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico has the perfect spots to accent every detail shot for the wedding. The adobe with chili ristras hanging, the beautiful wrought iron fence and the turquoise chair, that makes an appearance in many of my wedding photography sessions at this location, make the best detail shots. This wedding, in particular, was really fun capturing the small detail shots with the bright orange flowers that gave the perfect pop of color.

The bride featured in this Casas De Suenos wedding looked very elegant with her backless lace wedding dress and flowery updo. Her newlywed husband complimented her well with his navy blue suit, brown dress shoes, and dapper bowtie.

The bridesmaids rocked their navy blue dresses which all had their own style. We were able to capture a unique photo of the bride and her bridesmaids from behind to showcase each different and gorgeous style of their mostly backless dresses. This was one of my favorite shots from the wedding.

The groomsmen looked handsome in their navy blue slacks with suspenders sans jacket. Keep scrolling to see the wedding party’s great outfits.

A really fascinating fact about this wedding venue is that it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The entire compound was built in 1938 by a famous New Mexican artist and photographer by the name of Joseph Roy (J.R.) Willis who used the site as his personal residence, garden apartments and, art studio.

This Historic bed and breakfast has deep roots in the New Mexican artist culture. J.R. had many artists staying at and visiting his compound and the Inn has carried on this tradition by hosting artists who are visiting the state and holding an annual art seminar.

Through every photograph in this wedding gallery, you can see that an artist and photographer had his hand in designing this bed and breakfast. It is breathtaking. The distinctive gazebo you see in a lot of the photos was later added to the compound by local artist Leslie Feurbourne. This is the perfect venue for art and history nerds, but can also be admired by just about anyone for its beauty.
