Charlotte and Jayson had a beautiful rustic wedding at the amazing Koinonia Christian Fellowship followed by a dreamy, romantic wedding reception at The View Event Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albuquerque in the summer is gorgeous for weddings and I loved how sunny and fabulous the day was for their incredible wedding day.

Charlotte and Jayson chose the Koinonia Christian Fellowship because it is a beautiful location that used to be a horse corral with lots of trees, fences, and grassy areas perfect for amazing wedding photos. The inspiration Charlotte chose for their beautiful ceremony was outdoor rustic romance! I love the color palette they chose with beautiful pinks and purples mixed with subtle grey.

Charlotte chose a beautiful floral headpiece combined with her veil to give her the perfect fairytale bridal look. I love the short purple dresses she chose for her bridesmaids and the amazing rustic, floral hoops they adorned as they walked down the aisle were amazing! I loved that she took a different spin on the traditional bouquet. I also loved that she DIY-ed them with her bridesmaids.

The ceremony was absolutely phenomenal and had so many meaningful and spiritual moments. Everyone was in awe of how beautiful Charlotte and Jayson looked and you could see the happiness and love for one another shining through their beautiful smiles! To honor the loving memory of Jayson’s father, Kent Carruth, they had a special chair with his hat on it at the ceremony.

After the ceremony, Jayson and Charlotte had Pop Fizz’s paleta truck there to give out paletas to their friends and family which was awesome especially since summers in Albuquerque are hot! It was the perfect way to cool down and an amazing snack before their fantastic wedding reception.

Charlotte and Jayson’s incredible wedding reception at The View Event Center was like a fairytale come true! The venue is outstanding and the perfect location to have the elegant and sparkly reception of their dreams! I loved the rose gold wedding decor they chose and the beautiful rustic elements like the pinecones on their gorgeous wedding cake. The food by Rede to Cater was scrumptious and I loved that Charlotte and Jayson also had a s’mores bar for their guests. Their dances with their parents were so heartfelt (let me tell you, I bawled my eyes out capturing Charlotte dancing with her dad to “You’ll Be in My Heart from Disney’s Tarzan) that everyone’s hearts were totally melting. The rooftop was absolutely stunning for some amazing twilight photos of the newly married Mr. + Mrs. Carruth and with their amazing friends and family. The evening was filled with incredible dance moves, lots of warm hugs, happiness, and so, so, SO much love!

We had a blast capturing the #CarruthBeTold wedding! Thank you so much again, Charlotte and Jayson, for allowing us to capture these magical moments for you! Your wedding day was like a real life Disney fairytale and we wish so much love and laughter in your happily ever after!
