Ariel + Simon | Santa Fe, New Mexico


There seems to be a strong connection between Santa Fe, New Mexico (where I am from) and San Francisco (where I live now). Several of my couples live here in the city, but find a reason to go to the high desert to get married. For Ariel and Simon, they got married at one of my favorite outside venues, Pecos National Ruins near Santa Fe. But before the wedding, they got dressed up for portraits and so we went to some places Ariel had scouted earlier. One was even a water tower, which they both climbed up without hesitation just a couple hours before they walked down the aisle.
