New Year’s Eve is always special, but for Joy and Daniel, it was a night that marked the beginning of their forever. Held at the elegant Hotel Albuquerque, this wedding was a stunning blend of love, celebration, and the thrill of new beginnings.
A Morning of Sweet Moments
The day began with Joy and her bridesmaids getting ready in a beautiful suite. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and a touch of nostalgia. Joy’s first look with her father was heartwarming—tears flowed as they shared an emotional embrace, a moment we were honored to capture. Her bridesmaids’ reactions were just as touching; seeing their friend in her gorgeous gown brought gasps and happy tears all around.
Meanwhile, Daniel, a professional soccer player for New Mexico United, was surrounded by friends and family who had flown in from all over the world. The camaraderie and love in the room were palpable. Daniel’s anticipation for the first look with Joy was building, and when the moment came, it was nothing short of magical. His face lit up with pure joy and love as he saw his bride for the first time.
The Ceremony: A Global Gathering
The ceremony took place in the elegantly decorated courtyard of Hotel Albuquerque, with sunset on the horizon as Joy & Daniel shared vows . Guests from around the globe filled the seats, their presence a testament to the couple’s wide circle of loved ones. As Joy walked down the aisle to an orchestral version of Enchanted by Taylor Swift, Daniel’s eyes sparkled with emotion. Their vows were heartfelt and personal, promising a lifetime of love, support, and adventure.
A Reception to Remember
The reception was where the party truly began. Joy made a grand entrance in a dazzling second dress, perfect for the New Year’s Eve celebration. Instead of a traditional cake cutting, the couple opted for a champagne tower, adding a glamorous touch to the festivities. Cutmaster Music’s DJ kept the dance floor packed all night with Joy’s favorite tunes, ensuring the energy never dipped.
Midnight Magic
As the clock approached midnight, excitement built for the countdown. With champagne glasses in hand, guests joined Joy and Daniel in welcoming the New Year with a spectacular balloon drop. The moment was electric, filled with cheers, laughter, and the promise of new adventures. The night concluded with a sparkler exit, a fitting end to a day brimming with love and joy.
Client Love
Joy later shared, “Guys, I have been having watch parties for the photos and film, and everyone keeps saying they feel like they are watching something on Netflix. I can’t agree more. I sit here and look at these photos and film and am blown away. I can’t wait to pick the ones I want to hang in our place because they are all SO GOOD 🥹🤭🥰.”\
