Stephanie and Joshua’s wedding at Blame Her Ranch was nothing short of breathtaking. Perched atop the Glorieta Mesa, this private 2,000-acre ranch offered sweeping panoramic views of the New Mexico landscape, making it the perfect venue for a couple who loves the outdoors. With majestic ponderosa pines, endless skies, and a secluded setting, their wedding felt both intimate and grand.
Stephanie and Joshua live in the Jemez Mountains, so when it came time to choose their wedding venue, they knew they wanted something that embraced the natural beauty of New Mexico. Blame Her Ranch was the perfect choice, offering the best of both worlds: rustic charm and jaw-dropping scenery. With its 7,000-foot elevation, views stretching for miles, and a connection to nature that felt just right, it was the ideal setting for their “I do.”
In a beautiful break from tradition, Stephanie and Joshua chose to get ready together. Instead of the usual “first look” moment, they shared the entire morning side by side, helping each other prepare for the biggest day of their lives. In a particularly sweet moment, Joshua even zipped up Stephanie’s dress before they walked down the aisle a true reflection of their partnership and devotion to each other.
Their ceremony took place at one of the most scenic spots on the ranch, with an unobstructed view of the rolling New Mexico landscape as their backdrop. They wanted their wedding to feel relaxed and deeply personal, so they opted for a documentary-style, hands-off photography approach allowing us to quietly capture their candid moments rather than posing for a lot of staged shots.
After exchanging heartfelt vows, Stephanie and Joshua embraced one of Blame Her Ranch’s unique traditions celebrating with a shot from the venue’s special commemorative bottle, a fun and memorable way to toast to their new life together.

One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was take photos and document my life. I received a disposable camera when I was 8 and always had one after.
