Don\u2019t get us wrong \u2014 we love jam-packed, standing-room-only weddings, teeming with loved ones and dear friends, too. In fact, we absolutely adore seeing throngs of guests wall-to-wall, overflowing the chapel<\/a> with happy tears and belly laughter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, if we\u2019re being honest, there\u2019s nothing in the world quite like an elopement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when we\u2019re craving a bit of the heart-stirring sweetness and intimacy that only an elopement can provide, we know who to turn to. Crystal, of Crystal Cousin Photo<\/a>, of course!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The soft autumnal tones of Crystal<\/a>\u2019s signature style always lend so well to the scene and setting of a New Mexican elopement \u2014 Payton and Johnny\u2019s cozy celebration was no exception.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With only their furry companion, Luca, as witness, the now-newlyweds journeyed from their home state of Texas to share their vows in the enchanting wilderness of Jemez Springs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only catch? Payton and Johnny weren\u2019t able to find a wedding officiant<\/a> here in our desert state in time for their ceremony. So Crystal<\/a> did what any extraordinarily dedicated wedding photographer and devoted lover-of-love would do\u2026<\/p>\n

She got ordained!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Equipped with the license necessary to orchestrate Payton and Johnny\u2019s symphony of promises, feelings, and inside jokes, Crystal<\/a> not only captured their perfect moment \u2014 she made it happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nestled in a peaceful valley with the raw, towering edge of the mountain ridge framing their ceremony, the couple officially began their new life together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Husband and wife (alongside the ever-faithful Luca) returned home hand-in-hand, where a reception<\/a> was waiting for them. And though there was a party, complete with joyous laughter and merrymaking, we think our point still stands \u2014 sometimes, love finds its purest expression in the quietest of places.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you, Crystal<\/a>, for always going above and beyond to capture the essence of each unique celebration. And, of course, for letting us live vicariously through your photographic storytelling<\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
