“Our wedding day was 100% authentically US, complete with various “first shots,” 50 of our nearest and dearest family and friends, a horse trailer mobile bar, an offrenda-style “in Memory of” station, and our fur babies. We kept some traditions, threw many out, and paved the way with new ones that were meaningful to us. We strived to make the day unique to our love story as best as we could. Our wedding day plans evolved over the course of our planning, with our first dream venue falling through just 3 months before the big day. This left us scrambling to find an alternate that would fit our nearly complete vendor team that was a unique mix of Colorado and New Mexico based folks. We settled on an alternate location (by luck and very kind people) in beautiful Taos, New Mexico at a large estate among the mountains to have the most perfect micro wedding. We ventured to the Taos Pueblos to take bridal party photos and were told that we were the first “out of pueblo” couple to do this, making it a unique and very special experience (especially because Krystle’s family had recently done Ancestry DNA and found that a large percentage of their DNA was Native American, from the Taos Pueblo region). Originally, we’d planned to do an outdoor reception under the stars, but with the venue hiccup and due to chilly weather, we ended up moving the reception indoor and had a good ‘ol house party to close the night, complete with frozen pizzas and lots of dancing. Overall, it was a magical day & we hope to share our unique mix of vendors with other couples that want to break the mold of tradition.”
