Every October, my heart starts wandering back to New Mexico. The cottonwoods turn to gold, the aspens begin to glow, and the landscape takes on that unmistakable warmth that feels truly unique to the American Southwest. Looking back through galleries, Kyla & Mike’s wedding at The Stakeout in Taos still feels like one of my favorites.
It was equal parts desert romance and outlaw chic: bolo ties, cowboy hats, velvet, Ranch Road boots, pastel florals bursting with color, and a celebration that felt completely true to who they are. The circular elements of the venue itself was very fitting as their wedding happened on an eclipse!
I’ll be back in my home state this October, and I can’t wait to chase the fall colors all over again.
