A Hotel Parq Central Wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Valeria and Zachary had their wedding ceremony at the stunning San Jose Parish located in Downtown Albuquerque. This beautiful catholic church was built in 1938!

Albuquerque history will be mentioned several times in this blog because their wedding was full of our culture and history. The couple made great choices on their wedding and reception venues, as well as their wedding photographer, of course! Take a look at some of the amazing architecture yourself!

After the ceremony was finished we went over to Hotel Parq Central which is also in the Downtown Albuquerque area. This is another historical building here in Albuquerque. Hotel Parq Central was built in 1926! The newlywed’s entire wedding is steeped in rich Albuquerque history.

The rooftop lounge in the hotel gave us a bird’s eye view of Downtown Albuquerque and our amazing Southwest sunset which provided us with some great intimate photos of the Bride and Groom. I love the way the sunset shines behind them in these photos. What great memories they will be able to look back on and cherish as they build a life together.

Another great thing about this hotel is that they only host one wedding per day. So our couple had the full attention they deserved during this once in a lifetime event.

Valeria looked absolutely stunning in her long white lace wedding gown and veil. Her newlywed husband, Zachary looked equally dapper wearing a dark blue suit with brown dress shoes and a pale pink bowtie. They had their little man dressed up in the same outfit, so cute!

The bridesmaids wore pale pink dresses matching the groomsmen’s pink ties. Their flower bouquets brought the whole look together with green foliage and pink and white roses and carnations. The whole wedding party gathered around Hotel Parq’s green garden and tranquil fountain for some great pictures together.

I really loved the large staircase in front of the hotel and the balcony that emphasizes the historic architecture of this building. So many gorgeous opportunities for some great wedding photos. I couldn’t be happier with how they came out!

Congratulations Valeria and Zachary, it was wonderful getting to partner with you on your big day. We wish nothing but the best for you and your family!
