Katie + Alex | Santa Ana Resort Wedding | Albuquerque Wedding Photographer

Katie and Alex’s Santa Ana Resort Wedding

Katie and Alex had a gorgeous wedding at Santa Ana Star Casino and Hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The wedding party used the hotel rooms to get dolled up for their beautiful day. Then they headed to a lovely Catholic church for the ceremony and back to the resort to capture these wedding photos outside against the stunning desert landscape and majestic mountains.

Santa Ana Resort is a wonderful place for wedding photography. They have gorgeous landscaping for some breathtaking outdoor photography. Natural lighting, green trees and grass, a pond and those great Sandia mountains in the background create the perfect atmosphere for wedding photography.

Katie and Alex’s special day started in their great hotel rooms. Even these rooms inside Santa Ana Resort were picture perfect as you just saw in the wedding photos above. I captured candid photos of the bride and groom getting ready to profess their love to one another.

Details are so important in wedding photography. I know how much work goes into each and every detail on this special day so we make sure to capture them in the photo session. A close up of the wedding rings, the accessories that adorn the bride’s bouquet, her shoes and veil and all of the dresses before they’re put on by the bride and her bridesmaids. Each of these items are carefully arranged for photos that will bring back memories of each detail on their big day.

Inside of the wedding chapel, we stay prepared to capture that very first kiss as husband and wife and the happiness on the couple’s faces afterward. There is only one chance to capture each and every one of these magical moments, this is why it’s so important to have an experienced wedding photographer.

Experienced photographers already know what to expect at a wedding and through their experience, know how to avoid any mishaps. We don’t miss out on any opportunities for great wedding photography. This is a huge deal and we treat it as such.

We stay with our wedding couples from the early hours getting ready all the way to the reception afterwards. Not one moment will go by without being captured and documented through gorgeous wedding photography. After countless days and hours of planning and prepping your big day will go by in a flash. So we make it a priority to capture every special moment for you to look back on in remembrance of all the hard work and love that went into this once in a lifetime event.

What an exciting day it was for Katie and Alex. It was a pleasure to join these two on their special day as it is with all of our couples. It’s a privilege to be able to experience these special occasions with all of our clients. Some clients become like family to us. We get to walk with them from engagement photo shoots to their wedding all the way through maternity photo sessions, newborn and every milestone after.

If you’d like for us to capture any of these milestones in your life, please contact us today to reserve a spot on our calendar.

Sarah and Mitchell's Hacienda Dona Andrea de Santa Fe Wedding | Santa Fe Wedding Photographer

Santa Fe Wedding Photographer at Hacienda Dona Andrea

Sarah and Mitchell were married on June 7th, 2019 at the breathtaking Hacienda Dona Andrea de Santa Fe venue. Congratulations to this wonderful couple! Are you in need of a Santa Fe wedding photographer? Take a look at the amazing photos we captured at Sarah and Mitchell’s wedding to see why we are the best photographers for the job.

Hacienda Dona Andrea is a beautiful little getaway nestled in the mountains of Santa Fe. One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is being able to take day trips to these enchanting venues. We have several amazing places to choose from here in New Mexico for your wedding day.

Hacienda Dona Andrea is very unique, it’s a southwestern mansion with huge antique doors that welcome you in. The 9 bedroom home was designed to feel like you’re living south of the border with its roof tiles and fixtures. You can tell this venue was designed by an artist who had an eye for detail.

The massive wooden doors were a superb backdrop for many beautiful shots of the bride. The wooden beams, chile ristras, and trees adorning the outside area created a magical atmosphere for a perfect wedding day.

The bride wore a simple, elegant wedding gown with a long train. She topped the look off with a long veil hanging from her pinned up jet black hair. Sarah looked absolutely stunning, I’m honored to have been able to capture the beauty of her special day.

The groom was smitten by his newlywed wife, and who can blame him?? But, he too was looking debonair in his fitted blue suit with a white tie. These two were great “models” and really could have been featured on a wedding magazine, in fact, we tried to put them on one. Thank you Sarah and Mitchell, for making my job easy!

Though the bride and groom were amazing to photograph, it really does take an eye for detail, lighting, and experience to capture stunning photos like these. Make sure you set aside a budget for your wedding photographer, these are special moments and you only get one chance to capture them. If you’re still wondering what all the rave is about for Lauren Cherie Photography, head on over to our wedding gallery. Our work speaks for itself. We take pride in always striving for the best photography experience for our clients.

We pride ourselves on being affordable wedding photographers who also deliver high-quality photography and videography. It is very important that you balance quality and price for your special day. This is a once in a lifetime event, so you get one chance to capture each special moment. Having a budget is completely understandable, weddings aren’t cheap! At the same time, you don’t want to skimp too much. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

Our couples don’t break their budget and get to enjoy award-winning wedding photography, see below…

Make sure you congratulate the newlywed couple in the comments below! Breanna and James were married at Noah’s Event Venue on June 23rd, 2019. This cozy wedding venue has high ceilings and nice wooden floors which open up the space for an impressive wedding.

The wedding couple took full advantage of the high ceilings in this space by draping the ceiling with white fabric and twinkling lights. This came out so magically in their wedding photography. Noah’s Event Venue is a versatile event space, we’ve held several of our kid’s birthday parties here ourselves.

One thing that really sets Noah’s apart from other event venues is their open-vendor policy, which allows you to choose your own caterer, decorator, and other vendors for your wedding.

Mrs. Vargas looked magical in her strapless flowing wedding gown. She kept her hair simple, wearing it down underneath her veil. Breanna’s bridesmaids wore magenta dresses, each featuring a different style top. The best woman stood out with a flowy lilac dress.

The groom looked very handsome in a dark blue suit with a blue bowtie that stood out from the groomsmen’s blue ties.

The wedding flowers were simple elegant white flowers with green foliage. The colors in this wedding each complimented each other for beautiful wedding photographs.

The red clay brick with differentiating hues of burgundy and brown gave us a great canvas for outdoor shots of the wedding party. The windows were flawlessly clean and everything down to the light fixtures was high quality for excellent wedding pictures.
