When I think of love in it’s beautiful and truest form, I think of how perfect Christian and Brei’s wedding day. Brei and Christian had their beautiful wedding ceremony at the Church of the Incarnation in Rio Rancho, New Mexico as well as their wedding reception at the brand new Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel in Bernalillo, New Mexico. Their lovely wedding day was filled with so much love and joy, you could feel the immense blessings that surrounded us throughout the day!

Brei and Christian chose the Church of the Incarnation in Rio Rancho, New Mexico as their ceremony venue because they are both catholic and their faith means the world to them. During their ceremony, they had special rosaries for the blessed mother. I loved every part of their traditional catholic ceremony and the church itself was beyond gorgeous! I loved taking photos of Brei and Christian next to the stained glass windows!

After the ceremony, we took a short drive to the Corrales Bosque in Corrales, New Mexico for their wedding party portraits as well as romantic photos of the bride and groom! I thought it was SO awesome that Christian and Brei chose the Corrales Bosque as their location for wedding portraits because we took their beautiful engagement photos there as well (you can check out Brei and Christian’s beautiful Corrales Bosque engagement photos by clicking this link). It was a bright, sunny afternoon for photos, but the harsh sunlight didn’t stop us from taking some of the most epic wedding photos of all time! Some photographers don’t like to shoot in bright sunlight, but I like to embrace it. I love getting a variety of photos in different lighting situations for my couples because it adds a unique flair to all of their photos. <3

Once we finished taking portraits in the Corrales bosque, we drove to Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel in Bernalillo, New Mexico for Brei and Christian’s wedding reception! If you haven’t been to the Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel to see all of it’s incredible new features, you MUST! Christian and Brei chose Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel in Bernalillo, New Mexico as their wedding reception venue because of all of the new wonderful features and how insanely gorgeous inside the hotel was. The ballroom where they held their reception was extraordinary! Every detail of their reception made for an unforgettable experience — from Ryan Smith playing the cello during their cocktail hour to their custom dance floor lighting that showcased the new bride and groom to the delicious food provided by Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel, their entire wedding reception was amazing!

Brei and Christian along with their loved ones and guests danced the night away and made so many priceless memories! We were SO thankful to be a part of their magical wedding day and so honored to capture all of their amazing moments!

Mr. + Mrs. Brooke, we LOVE you and so thankful for your love, friendship, and support! Thank you for allowing us to capture your best day ever! May God bless you with so much love and laughter in your happily ever after!
