Wedding at The Stakeout with Authentic New Mexico Charm

August 5, 2025 , BY: Amy

“We had the joy of capturing Matthew and Orlando’s love story in beautiful Taos, surrounded by stunning high desert mountains. The venue held a special place in their hearts – it was where Matthew popped the question to Orlando exactly a year ago on the rooftop. Their big day was filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of family and friends. As their photographer, I was drawn to the beautiful details of Matthew and Orlando’s celebration. Their suits had lovely mariachi-inspired touches, adding a rich cultural element. They also used lotería cards as a creative seating chart, which was a fun and playful idea. One of my favorite surprises was the ‘tequila donkey’ – such a unique and festive addition that really captured the spirit of the day! Matthew and Orlando’s wedding beautifully blended Southwestern charm with the natural splendor of the desert. The celebration was filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of family and friends. Happy tears flowed freely, and warm hugs were shared all around. The rugged yet romantic landscape provided a stunning backdrop for their union. This special day wasn’t just a celebration of the couple’s love—it also showcased their appreciation for the rich culture of the American Southwest and the joy of gathering with their loved ones.”
