Jaben & Savannah- Wedding

I was honored to be the photographer for my "baby" cousin Jaben (he was the youngest of 9 of us for awhile) and his incredibly gorgeous bride Savannah. Jaben's mom, my Aunt Pam and her sister my Aunt Stacy, were MY wedding planners/decorators! So now it was my turn to play a part in the wedding process with the family. I am thinking maybe we should start a wedding business together...whatcha think Aunt Pam?! ;)  Anyway, I had not met Savannah before the wedding, but the instant I met her, I felt like we had been great friends all of our lives. She is just one of those people that exudes inner and outer beauty! 

Unique. Modern. Vintage. Whimsical. Historical. Fabulous. These are just a FEW words that describe this wedding.  It was one of those weddings that was purely magical. The venue: spectacular. The decor: phenomenal. The bride and groom: sensational. Tucked away in the nooks and crannies of downtown Santa Fe was the wedding venue: the famous Loretto Chapel. On wedding day cue, it was shining with it's magnificent beauty and as if the stunning location weren't enough for that wintery wedding day, a blanket of snow fell from the sky adding an extra measure of glimmer :) And YES we did take pictures in the snow, how could we not? The reception was held next door to the chapel at the Inn and Spa at Loretto. I tell you it was a photographer's dream and I literally COULD NOT take a bad picture...even the "out of focus" ones seemed to capture some sense of magical beauty :)  Thank you so much for allowing me to be a very significant part of your wedding day!  Enjoy your preview:
