Luminance Wedding Films

For those who watch the Office, then you will understand this film and the title we stole from Nick’s very triumphant declaration during his vows. Hilarious and yet it pretty much sums up this couple’s relationship in one simple statement. They are clearly madly in love with each other. And that’s not even the best part. The best part is that this couple worked effortlessly to plan their wedding during the time of Covid and what was once an option for what they thought would be the ideal venue for their wedding day, came to a crashing halt when their venue of choice pulled the plug. Why is that the best part? Well, disappointments can lead you to a treasure trove that you would have never known existed. The Galisteo Basin and Stay Kit Fox, became just that treasure. What would have been a simple guest arrive, watch the ceremony, have some cocktails, eat dinner, dance and then go home, became pack your bags, get your southwestern attire out, join us in the desert and sleep under the stars in the coolest glamping spot you’ve ever laid your eyes on. I mean, come on…this is waaaay better!! To have 20 of your closest friends and family, not only celebrate your day in such a unique and wonderful way, but then to turn it into a luxurious camping trip…ahh…this is my kind of wedding! Cassie and Nick are just the couple to handle such a fun and unique twist of events. Add this to their list of continued adventures and it brings this couple to the best day of their life. Cassie and Nick if this is a sneak peek into the fun your life together is about to bring, then buckle up because it’s going to be one exhilarating ride! Congratulations you two! XOXO

Another beautiful, emotional, love filled and crazy good Greek Wedding! Oh how we love these! I mean take a few seconds to watch the beginning of this film for a peek inside their crazy fun reception and you will see why! Plate breaking, grown men dancing on top of tables and even a shirt coming off…But let’s be honest, anyone can have a great dance party, but what makes this one so endearing is the love and support of their church family and all of their closest friends. And…Nicole and Demetris were well surrounded by a TON of love. This couple is that couple that you want to be friends with. Their sweet personalities and genuine care for strangers they’ve just met would make anyone feel right at home. And we absolutely did! Having filmed Nicole’s brother’s wedding a few years before, we had already fallen in love with her family. Having this privilege to film her wedding was icing on the cake…oh yeah, did you see her cake!! GORGEOUS! What more can I say? We loved celebrating their day, watching their sweet glances at each other, observing how kind and loving they are to each other and learning about their love story. This story is going to be one to continue to follow. Their marriage is going to be a great example of what love is all about! We can’t wait to follow their story and keep up with all the good things that will happen with them in the many years to come. We love you Nicole and Demetris! Thank you again so much for giving us the honor of filming your crazy fun, beautiful and love filled wedding! XOXOXO
