Every single season we get to capture some of the most magical days ever, but when fellow wedding vendor Lauren, who also happens to be one of the most angelic humans on earth asked us to photograph her dream day in Las Vegas we knew it would be a celebration for the ages.
Chris and Lauren first met many moons ago, yet from the very start, they knew their connection was beyond special. Over the years, these hunnies’ love for one another and for all of their shared passions grew, from traveling to loving on their sweet fur baby, Señor, to spending their weekends together (even if it included working on dreamy wedding days for Lauren’s business, Just Lovely Weddings). Finally, this little fairytale was topped off when Chris proposed to Lauren with the dreamiest ring we’ve ever laid eyes on.
These lovers knew that Las Vegas, one of their favorite places to travel to, would be the most magical place to say “ I do” and started planning the most gorgeous wedding of all time. Lauren and Chris wanted to include all of their favorite Sin City spots, from The Neon Museum to the Plaza Hotel to the Vegas Strip and damn, did they do the most flawless job creating a perfectly unforgettable day. By making sure that every single moment of their sweet February day encompassed so many personal and intentional details, Lauren and Chris brought an unbelievable amount of joy, honesty, and endearment to all of their loved ones in attendance.
We could go on forever about how the perfect Lauren’s bridal glam was (because she was absolutely angelic from head to toe) or how astonishing their vows at The Neon Museum were to witness (everyone was in tears!) or even how starstruck we were by the vintage Cadillac Lauren and Chris got to cruise around in (it was unreal!), but what made this day so special was how palpable the love between these two souls really is. As Lauren said so perfectly in her vows to Chris, “being with you is like listening to all of my favorite songs at the same time”, and this weekend was really like watching a film with the most impeccable playlist. The Las Vegas Strip might have roughly 12,000,000 lights, but the love felt on this day shone even brighter, and that is truly the most incredible part of it all.
Cheers to making it official in the most dazzling locations, we’ll cherish this day with Lauren + Chris forever and ever.
