Kimmy and Buddy – St. Andrew Episcopal Church and The Fort Worth Club

From stained glass windows to Ave Maria and crystal chandeliers to cathedral length veil, Kimmy and Buddy chose classical elegance for their wedding day.  Every sight and every sound was selected to give their guests in Fort Worth, TX something special to remember.

Their ceremony was held in the historically and architecturally significant St. Andrews Episcopal Church .  Stunning stained glass windows shipped from England in the nineteenth century added glowing color to the ornately decorated sanctuary.  The scene included dark wood for the pews and carved paneling, crimson carpet and a stunning Carrera marble altar.  The air was filled with the sounds of the pipe organ playing classical musical selections and a thrilling soloist who sang Ave Maria and The Lord’s prayer.

Kimmy looked even more beautiful than her surroundings.  Her strapless gown with sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice glimmered with crystal beading.  The skirt of the fit-and-flare gown was made of cascades of organza ruffles.  She chose crystal set in silver for her accessories including snowflake-like hair ornaments, chandelier earrings, a necklace with a floral motif, a brooch at her neckline and a jeweled belt.  Her white rose bouquet was wrapped in crystal stones.  As her father escorted her down the aisle she was trailed by a cathedral length tulle veil trimmed in lace.  No wonder Buddy in his tuxedo and white tie wiped away a tear when he saw his bride.

After the lavish ceremony Kimmy and Buddy were whisked away from the church by a horse and carriage to the Fort Worth Club .  Like the church, this edifice is also important to the history and architectural significance of the city.  The reception was held in the gorgeous Horizon Room which is graced by magnificent chandeliers.

For the reception, Kimmy traded her cathedral length veil for a frothy Fascinator.  She danced her First Dance with Buddy and another with her dad to the sound of a live band.  The band continued entertaining throughout the night and included a female fiddler who was greatly appreciated by the younger guests.

The splendid six-tiered wedding cake complimented Kimmy’s bridal finery, echoing the glittering ornaments on her dress and in her hair.  In a playful interaction, the couple started out sharing the first bite of the cake with decorum, but ended up with icing on both their faces.

At the end of the evening the horse and carriage came to carry the couple away from the club as guest showered them with confetti.

As you watch the video pay close attention to the close-ups we were able to capture during the vows.  Our remote control camera allows us to be the only videographers who could get this shot.  St. Andrews is understandably protective of their gorgeous interior and they are very strict about what photographers and videographers can and cannot do in their space.  We’re proud that we have this custom designed proprietary camera that gets the shots other videographers would have to miss.

We used another camera in the back of the room to record Kimmy as she entered with her father.  The groom wore a wireless microphone which allowed us to get a good recording of the vows.  He wore it for us during the rest of the evening so that we could hear that discussion during the cake fight.

After we record the sights and sounds of a wedding we return to our studio and over the next few weeks our producers works to edit and mix the audio and video portions we captured.  The finished proof is given to the bride and groom for their edits.  When we’re through, the couple is provided with multiple copies of the video on DVD and BluRay.  We also store all of it on our secure server, just in case.

Church Wedding with African Style Reception in Videos Wedding Dallas

Edward and Sylvia tied the knot at St Michael Catholic Church in McKinney, Texas.  Their exciting African-styled reception followed at the Marriott Legacy in Plano, Texas.

The beautiful church has traditional cross-shaped architecture.   Because there was no inconspicuous place for the front camera, we chose to use our custom made proprietary remote control camera.  Our videographer was able to monitor the proceedings from the back of the church while our camera caught tight closeups during the vows.

Sylvia forgot to remove her gum before going up the aisle and found herself chewing it occasionally during the ceremony. During the editing phase, we removed all evidence of the gum, to her relief.

Jaymie and Phil – La Torreta Del Lago in Montgomery, Texas

For Jaymie and Phil, faith is an important cornerstone in their relationship. Phil explained, “She loves me -unconditionally. It’s weird…and her love for God is pretty sweet, too.” Phil’s amazing faith is Jaymie’s favorite thing about him. The couple was married at the La Torreta Del Lago Resort in Montgomery, Texas.

The lovely Jaymie sparkled in her strapless ballgown with sweetheart neckline and corset closing. Her bodice was covered in large crystals of varying sizes and the skirt was a cloud of tulle. A red ribbon laced the corset. She wore shimmering veil and carried a bouquet of pink and red roses. Her bridesmaids wore short strapless dresses in dove gray. Each bridesmaid carried a bouquet of a different hue.

The ceremony began with a trio of darling little girls in bright pink coming down the aisle, carrying signs which read, “Faith,” “Hope,” and “Love.” Then came a handsome little fellow and his sign said, “The greatest of these is Love.” Jaymie followed with her father.

The couple created their own vows. Jaymie’s were read from a long list with tears in her eyes. Phil didn’t use any notes for his tender but extemporaneous words. The couple’s ceremony included the assembling a unity cross to represent their relationship with each other and with God.

After the ceremony, the photographer gathered the wedding party and families for shots on an outside patio, with beautiful Lake Conroe in the background. Phil was particularly happy about all the kissing the pictures required.

Back inside, the reception had a luau theme complete with leis and colorful beach balls. Their wedding cake was covered in black fondant decorated with red and white. A live guitarist sang beautiful songs to accompany the solo dances. At the end of the evening the crowd sent the couple off into the night with a sparkler farewell.

The Harner family has three daughters. Jaymie is the third to marry in recent years and we’ve been fortunate to be a part of all three weddings. Though most of weddings we record are in here in North Texas, we’ve traveled around the state to film the Harner weddings – one in Austin and this one near Houston.

One of the reasons the Harners used us for all three of their wedding videos is our custom- designed proprietary equipment. They like that we have a remotely controlled camera that gets tight close-ups of the bride during the vows without having a videographer standing near the bride – a real bonus for them as Jaymie tearfully read her precious promises to Phil.

Yadira and Armando – Dallas’s Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and The Old Cotton Mill

All it took was one look for the handsome Armando to know Yadira was someone special.  He spied her at an assembly and waited for an opportunity to meet her.  After dating for two years they made plans to marry.  Both were very nervous about their wedding day.  Once the ceremony was over however, they began to enjoy the day.  Yadira and Armando were married at Dallas’s Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The beautiful Yadira was stunning in a white satin gown with a crystal and lace bodice.  The figure hugging bodice gave way to satin pleats gathered around her hips into a crystal brooch wwwwhich spread out to from the skirt of the gown.  Her multi-layer tulle veil was tucked up under her up-do and cascaded to the floor.  The bridal party included two flower girls, one junior bridesmaid and five bridesmaids.  The bridesmaids wore short dresses of deep purple.

The church was decorated with ornate spiral columns with Corinthian capitals.  Atop the columns were long-stemmed arrangements of calla lilies and white roses in tall crystal vases.  The couple pledged their love for one another in Spanish.  Then friends and family joined them in a photo session.

The bridal party rode to the reception at The Old Cotton Mill in a long white Hummer limousine.  Upon their arrival, a delicious buffet was served.  Yadira and Armando sat at a beautifully adorned table for their meal and enjoyed being serenaded by mariachis.  After the couple cut their lovely wedding cake, the dj took over and everyone hit the dance floor.

At the end of the evening, Armondo helped Yadira climb in to his shiny black pick-up truck which had been decorated by the couple’s friends.

We put this highlight video on our website so it could be downloaded by Yadira and Armando’s friends and family.  The video quality was reduced to make it easier to download.  Their wedding video includes a high definition version of it, along with their full length video of the day.  For ease of use the video includes a menu, just like a movie video.  The jewel case and DVD was customized with pictures from the event.

Yadira and Armando’s wedding was filmed by one videographer, but we used our proprietary techniques to make it look as if two cameras were at work.  To film the wedding our videographer arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony and stayed with the couple until they drove away from the reception.  Then we went back to our studio and over the next few weeks, pored over the footage, editing and mixing, to produce a demo for the couple, so they could give us their input.  Finally we produced five copies of the video so that the couple could share it with their family and friends.  We enjoyed creating their video and they loved it.

Here’s what they said about it on The Knot, “Great people to work with..very understandable and easygoing..captured perfect special moments.”  They also gave us a five star rating in all categories.

Marble Slab Ice Cream Sweetens Fort Worth Wedding Reception by Videos Wedding Dallas

Laura and Justyn – Hallmark Baptist Church in Fort Worth

“I’ve hear there’s ice cream if you smile,” Laura promised some young fellows as they posed for post-ceremony photos.  She wasn’t kidding.  The reception was a dream- come-true for anyone with a sweet tooth, young or old.  Laura married Justyn at Hallmark Baptist Church in Fort Worth.

Laura looked lovely in her strapless lace gown with straight neckline, elaborately ornamented belt and corset closing. Her multilayered tulle veil was edged in lace and her crystal and pearl jewelry was in a unique art deco setting.  Her bridesmaids wore soft chiffon dresses in a bright blue and carried mixed bouquets.

The sanctuary of the church was all dressed up for the ceremony, too.  Fluffy bows with bouquets of jeweled orange blossoms, calla lilies and handmade blue roses graced the pews.  The stage of the church was decorated with baskets of flowers, white tapers in a large candelabra and an arch twined with white roses.  As Laura came down the aisle she gave her mother a rose.  The ceremony seemed to be progressing without a hitch, until the groom turned to the best man for the ring.  The best man patted down his pockets and appeared to be in a panic.  Then another groomsman discovered a stuffed bear in a Baylor sweater nearby, which just happened to have a pair of rings on a ribbon around his neck.  The groom looked a little confused at the situation until Laura pointed out the rings.  Then Justyn turned to the audience and said, “Everything’s OK.”

Between the ceremony and the reception, the photographer lined the families and wedding party up for photos.  At one point, Laura and Justyn got the chance to sit down for a brief respite.  Tired, but happy, they put their heads together and the groom said, “We did it!”

The reception was truly a sweet event.  Marble Slab Creamery was there to make the promised ice cream sundaes.  A buffet of finger food featured a chocolate fountain.  The wedding cake was three of gracefully iced tiers topped with a porcelain bride and groom figurine.  Like the bear with the rings, the chocolate groom’s cake was a whimsical homage to their alma mater.  Decorated with yellow flowers and green trimming, this cake also had a bride and groom figurine, but this couple was a pair of bears.   The couple served another tribute to their school: green punch.

Friends filled the air with bubbles for the couple’s farewell, as Justyn dipped Laura deeply for a kiss.  The pair was not able to escape as quickly as they anticipated, because their friends had decorated their car and filled it with balloons.  As the couple drove away, the crowd could see the rolls of toilet paper and soda cans which had been tied to the car’s bumper.

Our videographers arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony.  As soon as the equipment was unloaded and set up, we started recording the pre-ceremony activities.  During the ceremony we kept two cameras focused on the couple, so we wouldn’t miss anything, and to be sure we captured every word of their vows, we attached a wireless microphone to Justyn’s lapel.

We kept the cameras rolling through the photo sessions where we recorded some of the couple’s endearing comments.  Then we moved on to the ceremony to capture all the delightful details Laura planned for her guests.  We were there until the toilet paper festooned car drove away.  Then we gathered up our equipment and headed back to our studios.

Over the next few weeks we went through the audio and video footage we’d recorded, editing and mixing as we went along, to create Laura and Justyn’s unique wedding video.  Then we delivered the demo to the couple for their edits.  The finished product was something they both loved.

Our job wasn’t over, yet.  We delivered five complete videos to the couple which were customized to the couples specifications.  We uploaded this highlight video for family and friends to view and download.  Then we saved everything on our secure server, just in case it’s ever needed.
