A Romantic Spring Celebration in New Mexico

June 18, 2025 BY: Amy

“Faith and Neal met in one of the most unusual of places – a crime scene. Neal was working as the lead detective on the case while Faith was working as the crime scene investigator. After spending long hours alongside each other, both hoped they would be called to the same crime scenes just to have the opportunity to work together. Over time they had the opportunity to get to know each other and learned of their shared love of hiking. You can imagine Faith’s complete joy when Neal proposed in front of Mount Rainier on a clear summer day. It was the beautiful shades of blue and green of Mount Rainier that inspired the look of their special day. Family and friends, some from as far as New Zealand, traveled to Anthony, New Mexico to celebrate the bride and grooms perfect day. They chose to exchange their vows in front of a white timeless adobe building with large brown antique doors. As Faith saw the shades of blue and green pop against the white background of the building, her vision came to life. Golden hour approached along with a few strong winds. Despite this, the bride and groom entrusted this special time to their photographer who used the wind to bring life into their photos. The couple, along with their guests, made their way into the venue and stood in awe as they took in the glow of the lights and the delicateness of the floras. It was the most perfect day filled with joy, laughter, many tears from the bride, and tacos! The bride and groom eagerly joined their guests as they slow danced to the classics and jumped along to the melody of their favorite punk rock songs. As the night neared its end, they shared their last dance privately and took in the last moments of a night they will always remember.”
