Cindy + KJ
Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between people and life.
On a warm, summer Friday afternoon these two tied the knot. I was obsessed with this couple from the moment I met them. We met for our pre-booking wedding consultation at a local coffee shop to discuss the details of their BIG day. Like many others, they were so surprised that I had responded to their wedding inquiry form on the same day they submitted it. They had just booked their wedding venue, Hacienda Sol y Luna. The rest was history.
A Joy-Filled Summer Celebration at One of El Paso’s Dreamiest Venues ☀️
Some wedding days feel like they were made for magic — and KJ & Cindy’s summer wedding at Hacienda Sol y Luna was exactly that. This venue is one of the few indoor AND outdoor wedding venues in El Paso. From the golden light to the heartfelt vows and all the laughter in between, their day was filled with so much love and beauty.
As a photographer who loves to tell stories through light and emotion, this wedding was a dream to capture. KJ and Cindy are the kind of couple who radiate joy — the way they look at each other, laugh together, and hold their families close was a reminder of what weddings are truly about.
About the Venue: Hacienda Sol y Luna
📍 Location: 15420 Horizon Blvd, El Paso, TX 79928
If you're looking for a romantic, open-air venue with Southwestern charm, Hacienda Sol y Luna is a hidden gem. With its warm-toned stucco walls, string-lit courtyards, and stunning views of the desert sky, it brings that perfect blend of rustic elegance and laid-back summer vibes.
☀️ Photography Tip: Summer golden hour at this venue is everything. The soft desert light bounces beautifully off the architecture for that dreamy, light and airy glow.
The Ceremony: Intimate Vows
KJ & Cindy’s ceremony took place where they found sanctuary, Cross of Grace Church, surrounded by blooming summer florals and their closest family and friends. Cindy walked down the aisle in a flowy lace gown by Ella Blu Boutique with her caring father by her side. KJ couldn’t hold back the tears when he saw her — and honestly, neither could anyone else.
They wrote their own vows, filled with humor, gratitude, and promises that had everyone smiling through their tears.
The Details: Thoughtful, Personal, and Beautiful
The couple’s style was simple, soft, and elegant — perfect for a summer wedding. Think blush and ivory florals, sage green accents, and delicate string lights overhead.
Favorite Details:
- Hand painted personalized shoes reading "The Kings, est. 2024"
- A bridal party with LOTS of energy
- A charcuterie cone wall for appetizers (yes, please!)
