In the style of many of our couples and their modern love stories, Sandy and Kevin met through Instagram! To propose, Kevin took them on a drive to the top of the Sandias, which wasn’t unusual for them, being as they often visited the crest. He put on all their favorite songs as they made […]

Stephanie, a Santa Fe native, and Ben, from Overland Park in Kansas, originally met in a pretty unusual way for this day and age: a blind date. They were introduced the old fashioned way by a patient of Stephanie’s who happened to be a good friend of Ben’s… and the rest is history! He proposed […]

Katie and Ian were wed last Friday in the stunning southern Missouri city of Branson.
