Alex + Shannon, an Iconic Hotel Parq Central Wedding
Lovers Shannon and Alex started their new chapter in the most mesmerizing of ways at the historic Hotel Parq Central in the heart of Downtown Albuquerque. These babes knew just how to celebrate their once-in-a-lifetime kind of love on the most magical summer evening.
Alex and Shannon originally met in college when they were both art students at The University of New Mexico. Even though Alex called Shannon the wrong name (Samantha), she still agreed to go on their first date. After many hours talking over coffee (over the course of many dates) and endless games of 20 Questions, these two knew that they had discovered something extremely special in one another. Over the last few years together, Shannon and Alex have cultivated a life together based on love, light, and a deep sense of adoration for all of their loved ones.
These hunnies enchanted everyone this July with an elegant, modern, and completely stunning wedding. From their colorful florals and disco ball accents to Shannon’s divinely chic bridal style to the most killer playlist (complete with Sade, Beyonce, and Kendrick!), these two took every last element of their nuptials to the next level. We loved the way these lovers did things that were true to themselves, including walking down the aisle together (which made for the most emotional moment) to both Alex and Shannon having an outfit change for their reception (just look at Shannon’s sparkly party dress and Alex’s vibrant shirt) to showing everyone an extremely special skateboarding video that Alex made for Shannon. This day was full of the deepest love, joy, and excitement for two souls who are so clearly meant for each other.
Bring on all the couples who know how to bring the party and who aren’t afraid to take their love to new heights.
