Rachel and Aaron drove in from Odessa, Texas to have their dream destination wedding in Santa Fe. Their wedding celebration was held over the July 4th weekend so that they and their guests could enjoy a little longer stay in the City Different. Such a beautiful, beautiful bride…out on the terrace at La Terraza she glowed like an absolute angel. The only person who even attempted to upstage the bride was her precious niece, one of the flower girls. She simply could not understand why the other flower girl was throwing the petals on the ground, so she went behind her picking them up and putting them back in the basket as they went down the aisle! I so enjoyed my day with Rachel and Aaron, their families and their friends.
The Details
Wedding Venue:
La Fonda on the Plaza – There’s nothing as authentic as La Fonda when it comes to Santa Fe wedding venues. I tell all of my couples that this place is the real deal, because when you look at historic photographs of Santa Fe you will see La Fonda in them. And I absolutely love La Terraza, the terrace that overlooks the St. Francis Cathedral…nothing compares to this downtown experience!
