A Wedding Day Full of Heart, Chick-fil-A, and Dance Floor Magic in Southern New Mexico
Let me paint the picture: A dreamy September day that kicks off in Las Cruces, takes a detour through Chick-fil-A, and ends with a sparkler send-off and dance battles under the stars in Anthony, NM. Yup — this wedding was a whole vibe.
The morning started at the Ramada Hotel, where the bride was serving looks and happy tears, and the groom was hyping it up with the boys. But the moment that stole the show? The handwritten letters they exchanged before the ceremony. Cue the tears, y’all — even my camera got misty.
💌 From Love Letters to “I Do’s”
Then we headed to St. Genevieve Catholic Church, where things went from sweet to sacred real quick. The walk down the aisle? 10/10. Groom’s reaction? MELTED. HEART. It was classic, romantic, and full of the kind of love that makes you believe in fate.
🍟 Chick-fil-A in Wedding Attire? ICONIC.
Post-ceremony, these two legends did not go straight to the venue. Nope — they hit up Chick-fil-A in full wedding glam like the absolute rockstars they are. Fries in a wedding dress? My kind of people.
✨ Reception Goals at Los Portales
Then it was off to Los Portales Venue in Anthony, where golden hour wrapped them in that glowy magic photographers dream of. We got portraits that screamed “just married,” danced in the sunset, and had some serious Pinterest board moments.
Before the party popped off, we took all the dreamy Bride & Groom portraits — and ohhh my camera was living. The grounds at Los Portales were glowing, and these two? Absolutely radiating that just married bliss. Every little look, every forehead kiss, every laugh — pure magic.
They twirled in the grass and gave me the perfect mix of sweet & spicy energy. I love when couples trust me to just play — to run, twirl, slow dance, or sneak off for those quiet moments in between the chaos. And these two? They made it feel effortless.
Honestly, if I could bottle that dreamy golden hour vibe and sell it, I would. But until then, I’ll just keep showing up with my camera and chasing that light with rad couples like this.
And let’s talk about the reception — wild, hilarious, and SO full of joy. From the first dance to full-blown dance-offs, this crew brought the party. You better believe we hit the dance floor, and shook what our mamas gave us. ICONIC ENERGY.
🔥 Cue the Sparklers, Baby
To end the night? A sparkler send-off that could’ve been straight from a movie. Literally magical.
This wedding had everything: sweet moments, spicy energy, and a couple so cool they made me want to get married all over again. If you’re planning your wedding and want the real moments, the wild ones, and everything in between — I’m your girl.
Let’s tell your love story the way it actually feels — bold, beautiful, and a little badass.
