Rich and Soulful Autumn Wedding in the Southwest

April 15, 2026 BY: Amy

“Colorado hunnies Valerie and Dylan ushered in a brand-new chapter of their lives in the most spectacular of ways. This dreamy fall day in Santa Fe set a perfect tone of joy, color, and a modern happily-ever-after. These babes first met through mutual friends in Fort Collins, Colorado, roughly six years ago, and immediately bonded over their shared love for Bloody Marys. They soon grew close over their many hobbies, including golfing, being outdoors, and discovering the latest and greatest brew. Soon, these two made a tiny family together with their pups, Ash and Kona, in Parker, Colorado. Dylan proposed during a hike in Castlewood Canyon State Park with the most stunning ring from Young in the Mountains. Upon getting engaged, these hunnies knew that Valerie’s hometown of Santa Fe would be the most gorgeous backdrop for their wedding, and when they saw La Fonda on the Plaza, they knew it was meant to be. From an ethereal yet grounded bridal style to a color palette inspired by the Southwest sunsets of New Mexico to a reception that felt like a cozy fall party, nothing about this October day was anything short of spectacular.”
