Spring has settled in here in New Mexico, and everything is coming up roses! 

If we’re honest, though, we’re pretty lucky year-round. We spend our days surrounded by love, documenting unforgettable moments, and basking in the sunshiney romance of the Southwest.

Even still, when we learned that we would have the honor of filming Lauren and Robert's wedding day, we were blown away. And not just by our state’s famously vigorous spring winds! 

Although Lauren and Robert’s celebration was, in fact, a breeze.

Planned to perfection, the couple’s special day was meticulously crafted by some of Santa Fe's most creative, dedicated wedding professionals. With Shelby Your Day Events at the helm, Darling Details providing stunning decor, and Albuquerque Florist adorning every corner, how could the day not have been flawless!? 

When our team of storytellers arrived at El Rey Court on the day of Lauren and Robert’s wedding, you could have knocked us over with a feather. A wedding day that flows as effortlessly as this one did, with fun and laughter from beginning to end, is the thing of our dreams. 

After pinching ourselves to ensure this dreamlike day was, indeed, reality — we got to work! 

Through the paths and rooms of the iconic motor court venue, our crew and the collaborating creatives moved quietly and peacefully at first. Each hour, however, brought us closer to the culminating moment, and the growing excitement was palpable. 

Soon family members, loved ones, and lifelong friends began pouring in, raising the level of delight and good cheer to a fever pitch. 

While the ceremony passed in a whirlwind of happy tears and joyful proclamations, the reception seemed to slow down time. 

Desert Disco brought the house down with crowd favorites and feel-good jams, adding a personal touch by DJing exclusively from the bride and groom’s personal playlists. Celebrating the devotion between Lauren and Robert through dancing, decadent eats, and dazzling conversations, the energy of this after-party was unparalleled. 

It was, hands down, the most fun we’ve ever had filming a wedding reception! 

Thank you, Mrs. and Mr. Hill, as well as the team of small businesses, artists, and experts who collaborated to create this visionary day of love! The memory of this day will live on in our hearts — and SD cards — forever.
