Kayla and Chris’s winter wedding was a masterclass in timeless elegance. Centered around a chic black and white theme, their day was a thoughtful blend of classic romance and modern sophistication. Set against the historic charm of Hotel Paso Del Norte, their celebration embraced the season with warm lighting, luxe details, and a color palette that will never go out of style.

The design was all about contrast—crisp white florals from Valley Farms New Mexico paired beautifully with dramatic black accents and soft candlelight to create an atmosphere that felt both elevated and inviting. Kayla wore a stunning gown from Ella Blu that perfectly embodied the “Timeless and Class” theme—sleek, structured, and effortlessly glamorous—while Chris opted for a clean, classic tux that echoed the wedding’s refined aesthetic.

Captured with care and artistry by Memories By Lindsay, every detail—from the emotional ceremony to the candlelit reception—was preserved in a way that allows couples to truly feel the heart of the day. With a dream team of vendors bringing their talents to life, Kayla and Chris’s wedding offers endless inspiration for those envisioning a celebration that is equal parts grand and deeply personal.
