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!

National Hispanic Cultural Center Wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Congratulations Shaina and Hector! We wish you many, many years of happiness! These two were married at a little hidden gem; The National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. One wouldn’t expect the beauty that was found here, we had great opportunities for some beautiful pictures!

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…

Well, I don’t want to spoil the surprise, keep scrolling to see!

I think another congratulations is in store, don’t you? Congratulations on the baby BOY!! What an exciting day! First, they profess their love to each other in front of their family and friends, then they get the best surprise in their wedding cake… They’re having a baby boy!

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.

Albuquerque has many hidden gems and is a wonderful place for a wedding. I’ve gotten to travel the entire Albuquerque area discovering these lovely places with my wedding couples. If you’re in the middle of planning your own wedding, check out our gallery for some wedding inspiration here!
