The first thing we think of when we try to describe the gorgeousness that was Ivan & Micayla’s wedding day is: sunrise in New Mexico. 

The combination of warm, golden rays of light, hints of blush tones on the Sandia, and the honoring of a new day perfectly encapsulates the energy of their retro-chic celebration of love — keep scrolling for details that made their wedding day one of our all-time favorites! 

Starting with an intimate ceremony at The Desert Compass — a private space tucked in the heart of Old Town in Albuquerque — Ivan & Micayla incorporated both the heart and history of our desert state, and a playful edge to make their day truly unique. 

Take a peek at the two, adorable fur-balls who graced us with their presence during the ceremony!

Vintage crystal from Drunk on Decor, wonderfully wild bouquets from Floriography, and delectable bites from Special Touch catering were just a few of the little luxuries that made their Southwestern wedding one for the records.

(Plus their guests actually signed vinyl records — how neat is that?!) 

It was an absolute honor to be a part of Ivan & Micayla’s love story; their genuine authenticity and kindheartedness shined throughout the day, and we only wish they would get remarried about a dozen more times so we could relive it again and again!

In the meantime, we’ll just keep fawning over the details of their day through these special moments we were able to capture — and we hope you will, too. 

Share the love by following the other creatives who made this day possible, too!
