This wedding weekend was something truly special—full of color, culture, and so much heart. From the joyful Sangeet draped in vibrant saris and hand-embroidered lehengas to the groom’s epic Baraat and the sacred Sikh ceremony adorned in ivory and gold, every moment honored tradition with elegance and soul. They said “I do” again in a vibrant American ceremony that embraced opulent shades of crimson, regal purple, deep teal, and gleaming gold; set against full, romantic florals that spilled from every table. The weekend felt like a tapestry of rich textiles, heartfelt rituals, and unforgettable beauty.

When the idea of a European-inspired celebration at Casa Culinaria – The Gourmet Inn was first shared with me, I knew their charming property would be the perfect stage. Nestled in the heart of Santa Fe, this luxury bed and breakfast offers quiet courtyards, old-world architecture, and an undeniable sense of timeless romance. Guided by the venue’s vision, I curated an intimate celebration layered with citrus accents, natural textures, and lush greenery, woven seamlessly into the garden. Four distinct vignettes told the story: a moody library anchored by a striking chandelier, a romantic gazebo for the ceremony, a petite cake table glowing softly just off the main walkway, and a floralfilled tablescape inviting guests to sit, raise a glass, and linger long into the afternoon.

So much photography today is ephemeral, lost in a constant cascade of images. There are times though, when we want to slow down and take time to capture not just a moment in our life but the profound feeling of memories unfolding. Weddings deserve that attention, and tintypes can commemorate your love like no other photography can.
Tintypes are memories and light turned into solid silver. Each photo is handmade on location allowing you and your guests to watch the alchemy unfold. Visit my website to start our conversation.

Getting your photo taken shouldn’t be something you grind your teeth about, especially on your wedding day.

I am a New Mexican Native who was enraptured by photography at an early age. It started with my mom’s Samsung digital camera taking photos of old trucks and things I saw around my hometown changing from color, to B&W, to Sepia. I took photography in high school and never looked back. I love photography and found a love for videography with the help of my amazing husband. This is my art and my passion. I love creating memories for others to cherish forever.
