Blue Rose was on the top 3 list, but within 10 minutes of our conversation, it was clear that they were the right ones for us. We had an instant chemistry with Sandy! She answered every question we had and reassured us explaining their approach and backup plans should anything change. I wanted to be sure we captured not just planned poses, but the spontaneous. They did that perfectly! Her rates were reasonable and her policy on down payment and payment schedule worked well to slowly outlay the funds as we planned the six months up to the wedding. Once we assembled the wedding team, it was clear from our planner and our venue hostess that we had picked the best photographers in the area. They have decades of experience in this area and helped us connect to other professionals who became a team in our wedding event. We did both engagement and wedding pictures and everyone who has seen them has complemented them. Our spirit and the energy of our guests were captured magnificently. Not only did they provide high quality photos, but also asked all the right questions about what we wanted for our mood and how to ensure all of the right pictures were captured. There were serious, romantic, playful, and unity themes pulled from all of the different poses and random pictures. Terry made everyone so comfortable that we thought it was our brother taking pictures! Blue Rose isn't a photography vendor. They are family... who bring out the best in the wedding team and the wedding party to capture the beauty of a marital union the way your family would want for you!

I can not speak more highly of Maura Jane Photography. Our experience was so amazing from start to…read morefinish. Maura's attention to detail and her thoughtfulness is just wonderful! Her talent and ability to create such incredibly stunning photos is priceless!! For our initial meeting, I met with Maura and Sarah in a beautiful little studio. It was not only extremely helpful (information wise), but so much fun! They even gave me recommendations on other vendors, which I definitely took advantage of and very much appreciated. (They absolutely knew what they were talking about. :) ) A week or so after we saved our date with her, we received the sweetest package in the mail. It was from Maura, thanking and congratulating us. Brightened my day, it was so incredibly thoughtful! Maura and Sarah both came up to Santa Fe to take our engagement photos. We subjected them to our crazy chocolate lab (in a public place, so it wasn't easy). They were so great with her, very patient and so helpful with getting her to cooperate. Our engagement photos were fantastic, we loved every single one. I met with Maura one last time to go over all the details of the day. What was planned, who my vendors were so she could give them credit (again, so thoughtful), what we needed to decide picture wise, etc. It was fun and exciting to sit and chat with her about all of it. The day of the wedding Sarah tracked us down all on her own and made things happen. Very chaotic day, not sure what we would have done without her. She was amazing, took charge of getting what she needed for photos and we didn't have to think about a thing. She was so perfect at coordinating everyone, getting peoples attention when needed, and her patience is incredible. She was everywhere at all times and didn't miss a thing. There was a hiccup with our food, so the timing of everything was prolonged quite a bit. Sarah made sure she stayed to get everything and then some. We so appreciate her in every way! Unfortunately, Maura was already taken for our wedding day, but she was somehow able to squeeze our first look in. We were so thrilled she was able to be there! Her and Sarah took breathtaking photos from every angle of our first look. So in love with every single one, and so grateful to have those!! I was really touched that Maura made sure to make that happen for us. I can not put into words how much I love our wedding photos! I got to actually experience the day. They got everything. The smallest details, the spontaneous happenings and the precious moments. Every single photo is perfect in every way. So thrilled to have gorgeous memories to last a lifetime!! Maura Jane Photography went above and beyond. So incredibly talented and I am so honored I was able to have them as our photographers. Best decision ever!!

I usually go out of my way to leave positive reviews because I know how much they help businesses…read more Unfortunately, I can't honestly do that here. The venue itself is beautiful, but our experience on the wedding day was incredibly disappointing. The communication leading up to the wedding was responsive and great, and our questions were answered promptly which we were very impressed with. However, responsiveness beforehand did not translate into execution on the wedding day. They reassured us that Marina was a certified wedding planner and that we didn't need to hire another one or a day of coordinator. That couldn't be more wrong. Our signature cocktail ingredients that we purchased ourselves and brought were misplaced. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, our family was led to believe they had forgotten to bring them. Several family members, and I during the wedding spent 30-60 minutes searching the venue and scrambling to find them or replacement ingredients. During the wedding they never offered to replace them or reimburse us for the hundreds of dollars they had lost. We had even spent time brewing tea specifically for the cocktails, which ultimately wasn't used either even though it was there. Before the wedding, I offered to batch the cocktails in advance to avoid exactly this type of problem. I was reassured that it wasn't necessary. When the missing ingredients were eventually found days later, we were asked to come pick them up after the wedding ourselves so they could be returned. There was no offer to reimburse us for the inconvenience until we pressed them for it. A simple phone call that night could've saved everything but there was no communication. If your guest count decreases before the wedding but they already charged you for plating or other things don't expect them to offer you a refund unless you press them for it either. When we arrived about 45 minutes before guests were scheduled to arrive, almost nothing had been set up yet, and the coordinator was in the office just eating. They ask you to assign your own friends and family to handle tasks that I expected the venue staff to coordinate. The reception tables were also not in the order requested. While we were still loading our belongings after the reception which was literally at 10pm sharp, the venue lights were turned off on us. I was literally loading things in my wedding dress with no help from the venue. My husband, the groom, also felt the bartenders hired from Nature Pointe were rude to him--on his wedding day! Also in general they don't allow caterers to cook anything on site so if you want anything that is supposed to be crispy or made on site, it's impossible, which makes the menu very limited. The "wedding planning" they offer is a sheet of vendors they know of and it's minimal and outdated. I understand that people have difficult days or personal circumstances, and I genuinely try to extend grace. Had someone simply acknowledged the mistakes, apologized, or attempted to make things right, I likely would have felt very differently. People often describe their wedding as one of the most important days of their lives. Thankfully, we were surrounded by wonderful family, friends, and incredible vendors who made the day special despite these issues. But many of the stressful moments we experienced were preventable. 3 months later I'm still disappointed and surprised that this all happened. If I were planning my wedding again, I would definitely choose a different venue AND not rely on reassurance that they have a day-of-coordinator.

Loved that they are a married couple, their story, and the beautiful work they had posted. All my correspondence with Desiree before the big day left me at ease, and excited! Friday (day before the wedding) we went out for our Connection casual pictures, and had a blast. Was a perfect time to get used to cameras, and get to know Desiree & Seth. The next morning I get a text from sweet Desiree, and she sent us a surprise sampling of our pictures! While I was already excited for our pictures, this has left me thrilled to see all the other things they have done!! On the big day Desiree stayed with me, and Seth with my husband for pictures - nice arrangement! Desiree was a total professional - respectful of my family, and would laugh and participate in jokes. We then went and walked around town in our wedding garb for pictures. Again - such fun! They had also saved some spots for pictures just for the big day.
