Rich + Angela, a Moody Ghost Ranch Engagement
Lovers Angela and Rich might be from the East Coast, but they definitely have a big place in their hearts for the Southwest. These hunnies are celebrating with a Santa Fe Plaza soirée this fall and made a special trip to New Mexico for the most stunning engagement session at the iconic Ghost Ranch.
These two met about six years ago in New York City and have been smitten with one another ever since their first date at Penny Lane coffee. A few years down the road in 2019, Rich proposed right around Christmas on a snowy evening in Central Park. Once the pandemic hit in early 2020, these lovers two journeyed out of the city and all the way to a sleepy little beach town in Rhode Island. Along the way, they brought their sweet pup, Odin, into their little family and started making plans for the future. Shortly after, these two eloped with an intimate ceremony, but knew that they still wanted their dream of an epic wedding to come to life someday!
Rich and Angela knew that the Southwest would be the perfect backdrop for their nuptials and are planning one of the dreamiest days The City Different has seen yet! With the creative vision of Just Lovely Weddings and the most perfect venues of Loretto Chapel and La Posada de Santa Fe, these lovebirds are sure to set the bar sky high with a moody, romantic wedding in the heart of the Southwest.
Before they say “I do” this fall, Angela and Rich wanted to kick off everything with the most stunning engagement session way out west at the ever-ethereal Ghost Ranch. With its massive painted rocks, adobe accents, and overall mystique, this little gem made for the most incredible backdrop to these two and their epic love story. Angela looked was an absolute vision in the most gorgeous all black Adrianna Papell gown while Rich was extra handsome in his sleek, yet modern attire. These two effortless changed up the mood into something more playful with an amazing second outfit and even more adventuring around little old Ghost Ranch. To top everything off, Angela’s sapphire engagement ring gave us all the classic mets modern wedding vibes (and we’re probably going to be obsessing over it forever and ever).
We can’t wait for these hunnies to do the dang thing (after two years of waiting!!!), we just know that their wedding is going to be the most stunning mix of elegance, romance, and, of course, fun! Ready or not Santa Fe, Rich and Angela are going to have the most unforgettable bash.
