Celebrating 10-years in Nambe's enchanting landscapes

In early March, the Boles family met me at the Nambe Badlands for an intimate vow renewal ceremony celebrating ten years of marriage and the beautiful family they’ve built together. The quiet desert landscape provided a stunning and meaningful backdrop for this special moment.

Milla wore a uniquely embroidered gown and carried a custom bouquet designed by Barton's Boutique. Her dress stood out beautifully against the soft desert tones while the rest of the family wore classic rental tuxedos—easily the most exquisite outfits the badlands had ever seen.

After a brief ceremony reaffirming their vows, the family toasted the occasion with local champagne and sparkling cider before we spent time exploring the dramatic desert textures and sweeping vistas of the badlands.
