Intimate Rooftop Wedding at the Inn & Spa at Loretto

Some weddings don't need a large guest list to feel extraordinary. Judy and Patrick's intimate wedding took place in Santa Fe's only rooftop penthouse venue at the Inn & Spa at Loretto, where sweeping views of the city framed a celebration shared with the couple's closest family and friends. Surrounded by traditional adobe architecture and iconic Santa Fe landmarks, the rooftop offered breathtaking views of the historic Loretto Chapel and the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.

For couples considering a micro wedding or elopement in Santa Fe, the Inn & Spa at Loretto offers one of the most distinctive wedding settings in Northern New Mexico. Combining luxury accommodations, historic charm, and unmatched rooftop views, it is an ideal venue for couples seeking a celebration that is both elegant and deeply personal.

Santa Fe Micro-Wedding and Elopement Photography

As a Santa Fe wedding photographer, I love documenting intimate weddings that focus on relationships, meaningful moments, and the beauty of New Mexico's landscapes and architecture. This rooftop celebration was a perfect reminder that the most memorable weddings are often rooted in simplicity and elegance.
