Marcel & Lauren
A walk out onto the open ground, and the estate left behind. Sound on.

01The Day
Keep walking.
Marcel and Lauren were married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and their portraits happened on the walk out past the buildings, where the ground stops being landscaped and starts being hillside.
Their film runs a little over ten minutes, the longest we have made at this property.
02Filming at Hummingbird Nest Ranch
Notes on the place.
There is a line at Hummingbird Nest where the estate stops. Up to it everything is irrigated and clipped; past it the ground is dry, uneven and completely open. Almost every film made here stays on the near side of that line. Crossing it takes about four minutes on foot and it is the single biggest difference between a film that looks like a Hummingbird Nest wedding and one that looks like yours.
