Happy #WeddingWednesday sweet friends! We’ve spent these last few #WeddingWednesdays chatting about elopements, mountain getaways, whirlwind romances, and the like. You know, typical wedding-obsessed, traveling wedding photographer stuff! But while we’ve been cultivating this little corner of the internet as a place for us to share the magnificent love stories we bear witness to, the […]

Okay, okay. It’s true we’ve already had our first, big snow here in New Mexico…But we’ll be danged if we don’t celebrate a fall wedding at least one more time before winter is officially here!  And plus, we all know how fickle southwestern weather can be — there’s always a good chance that, after dumping […]

When you know, you know. And yes – we do know that’s the most cliché way to start a wedding blog like, ever, but it’s cliché for a reason! Hidden inside every universal platitude that circulates throughout generations is a totally infallible piece of essential truth. That’s why everyone keeps saying them! So when it […]

When you’re surrounded by love stories all day, like the Shayla Cristine Photography team so blessedly is, it’s pretty easy to see how storytelling comes into play in every aspect of our lives. From behind a lens, we witness how every meet-cute, chance encounter, and coincidence ends up leading one person to another. And then, […]

Happy #WeddingWednesday, fellow romantics! Thanks for hanging out with us on this lovely brisk day. As autumn slowly begins making its rounds through our darling desert state, caressing each leaf and turning it gold, we’re doing a bit of magic-making and delicate, gilded touches as well! It’s no secret that this season is a favorite […]

Happy #WeddingWednesday to all the romantics out there! If you’ve been hanging out with us here for a little while now, then you probably saw last week’s featured wedding and know that we’ve been feeling some serious love for New Mexico’s small, intimate weddings as of late.  It’s partially about finding the silver linings hidden […]

If we’re being honest, all it takes is a whisper of rustic details and colorful florals to make the hearts at Shayla Cristine Photography flutter. So when we caught wind of the vibe Rachel and Ramon were curating for their wedding, we were already swooning!  Of course, though, the reality of the day was so […]

Is anyone else catching the travel bug now that New Mexico’s windy winter has settled in for the season? Ready to hop on a plane and jet off to wherever the flowers are blooming? We definitely are!  And as a result, we can’t help but reminisce on the very first international wedding that the Shayla […]

Here’s the thing: no wedding has ever been done twice. Details, color schemes, and venues might be shared between one set of newlyweds in New Mexico and the next, but you can’t carbon copy love! Each couple, each unparalleled story of romance is a harmony of separate notes and moments acquiescing under perfect timing to […]
