While the white hot heat of a New Mexican summer might have some of your eyes trained on the impending autumn, we’re not quite finished with this season yet! With weddings every weekend, sunshine for days, and the occasional light afternoon rain, it’s no small wonder why summer weddings in New Mexico are such a […]
Hidden Gem Photographers in New Mexico
Yes, it’s true — we just said earlier this week that the fickle weather of spring had given way to steady sunshine and…..then it rained. So it goes in this beautiful, mercurial desert state! While we might not be able to rely on the weather for consistency, we can at least know that whatever rain […]
New Mexican Elopement with Chrisi K Photography
It’s that time of year in the Perfect Wedding Guide world — at least our corner of it — when the excitement of the holidays has passed, and the ethereality of spring hasn’t yet come.

Kevin’s Photography: Albuquerque Wedding Photographer Highlight
We could give you a hundred reasons why to choose local, small businesses over corporate chains for your wedding. {I mean, that’s kind of literally what our team is all about, right?} But our favorite reason, and the reason we also chose to work with small businesses owners is as such: they’re real people.

Pili + Sienna’s Albuquerque Engagement Session {Chrisi K Photography}
If you’ll recall, we recently posted our thoughts on the time-old debate: Should you have an urban or natural setting for your engagement photos?

Andrea + Rebecca’s Real + Rosy Wedding
In Albuquerque alone, there’s an estimated 5,000 marriage licenses given out every single year. Which, if you’re ever feeling down about the state of the world, is a beautiful statistic to consider. (5,000 couples pledging their love to each other!) But it’s also a little overwhelming. How can we possibly give the attention and recognition […]
Best Outdoor Venues in Albuquerque
Here’s the thing about New Mexico: it’s very easy to forget how lucky we are living in this state, especially when it comes to the weather. {Yes, we know it’s been pretty toasty lately, but take a trip somewhere a little closer to sea level and you’ll be missing the dry heat, we promise.} It’s […]
Sacred Wedding Celebrations with Sacred Life Photography
Aside from deciding who you’re going to marry and what you’ll wear, there is one more extremely important decision you’ll make for your wedding: Who will be your photographer? The decor, venue, reception, and all else are temporary, but photos are what make the memories last a lifetime. So choosing a photographer to integrate into […]
