Claudia and Jared at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and Bent Tree Country Club

“It’s almost time,” Claudia said as she sat before a fireplace waiting for her wedding ceremony to begin.  Elsewhere in the church Jared enumerated all the things he loved about his bride.  Claudia and Jared were married at the beautiful St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in the historic Lakewood area of Dallas.  Their reception was held at elegant Bent Tree Country Club.

Claudia and Jared’s wedding day was a miracle of logistics coordinated by wedding planner Colleen Harkins.  The first vendor to report for duty was hair and make-up artist Brittany Jones.  She helped Claudia get ready at the bride’s parents’ house, while the guys dressed at the country club.  Then Romantic Remembrances conveyed the bridal party to the church in a limousine and the groom’s party in a bus.

Upon arrival at the church the wedding party was adorned by glorious floral arrangements from Garden Gate – bouquet and corsages for the ladies and boutonnieres for the men.  The florist provided arrangements for the pew ends, as well.  Meanwhile, Christopher Walker of Christographer  ( Formerly Lucky Pro Photography) captured the still shots while we were shooting audio and video.

At the appointed hour, the music of St. Thomas Acquinas’ legendary pipe organ filled the air as the father-of-the- bride walked Claudia down the aisle of the magnificent church.  Claudia looked stunning in a strapless, shirred-satin, fit-an-flare gown with crystal accents at the empire waist and just above the knee.  As Jared escorted her to the altar he couldn’t resist telling her how lovely she looked.

After the wedding, guests headed to Bentree for cocktail hour where other vendors had everything ready.  Linen Hero provided the table and chair covers, Absolute Entertainment set up the lighting and a Creative Events had a photo booth waiting.  Meanwhile Christopher took the post-wedding photographs.  Then Romantic Remembrances transported the couple, the bridal party and their families to the country club.

A little Italian flavor entered the celebrations after the wedding party was announced by the Ice House Band.  For the First Dance the bride and groom swayed to the sounds of Al Martino singing “I Have But One Heart.”  The Italian flavor continued as Claudia danced with her dad to the “Godfather Waltz.”

After Jared danced with his mother to “What a Wonderful Life,” the bride and groom finally got a chance to relax and enjoy dinner.  After dinner they slipped away for a wardrobe change.  This time Claudia had on a smooth satin shirtwaist dress with short, full skirt, accented with a sequined belt.  Now she could really enjoy the high energy sounds of the live band.

When the celebration were over, the cake cutting, the bouquet toss, the garter toss and all the dancing, Claudia departed the country club through rows of sparklers and rode away in a vintage Daimler to Hotel ZaZa where their honeymoon suite awaited.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

Two Lenicam videographers arrived at Claudia and Jared’s wedding an hour and a half before the ceremony.  There’s a lot to set up to properly capture a wedding.  We had videocamers, tripods, lights and audio equipment to manage.  We also took the opportunity to coordinate with the other vendors and the church’s wedding coordinator, so things will go smoothly during the day.

One of the cameras we set up was our custom-designed proprietary camera with remote control.  This one-of-a-kind equipment allows us to have a camera recording at the front of the church.  Because no other Dallas Wedding Videographer else has this equipment, we are the only ones who can get footage at the front of St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

Once everything was in place the cameramen split up to capture the pre-wedding activities, so later Claudia and Jared could enjoy watching the first part of each other’s wedding day together.  For the ceremony, one videographer stood at the back of the church for shots from the audience’s point of view, while another camera was hidden out of site near the front to get the close-ups during the ceremony.

After the ceremony, one camera leap-frogged ahead to the reception, while the other stayed behind to capture the fun of the photo shoot.  After the photos the second cameraman joined the reception.  With two cameras at the reception, we were able to keep one camera focused on the bride and groom, while the other camera went around and captured well-wishes from the guests.

When the night is over, we take all the audio and video footage back to our studio to create a wedding video for the couple, their family and their friends to enjoy for all the days of their marriage.

Videography Wedding Dallas TX Captures Ruben and Diana’s Celebration

St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and Fannin County Multipurpose Complex

If you’re looking for your soulmate, try attending a child’s birthday party. That’s what Ruben did. A friend of Ruben’s, Paolo, extended an invitation to his child’s first birthday and Ruben found more than a piñata at the party. When the music started, Ruben asked Diana to dance. He’s been captivated ever since. Ruben and Diana were married at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in McKinney, TX.

Lovely Diana chose a strapless mermaid gown in beaded satin with a sweetheart neckline. Her cathedral length tulle veil was edged in beaded lace. Around her waist was a wide satin sash, embellished by crystals. Her jewelry featured crystals and pearls. White roses, calla lilies and baby’s breath gathered up with a white ribbon formed her bouquet. In stark contrast to the bride’s brilliant white ensemble, her bridesmaids wore black.

The wedding ceremony was a family affair. Ruben with his parents and family members entered the church first to the cheerful notes of a mariachi band. They were followed by the rest of the wedding party. After a pause a flower girl came down the aisle spreading petals, and then came the bride with a parent on each arm and a small flower girl carrying the bride’s veil.

The beautifully appointed sanctuary, the priest’s ornate vestments and a colorful floral arrangement created a lovely backdrop for the ceremony. With his vows, Ruben gave Diana a handful of coins to symbolize his earthly treasures which he was entrusting to her. Their lasso communion featured a delicate crystal rosary. After the ceremony the family gathered for photographs.

The reception was held at the Fannin County Multipurpose Complex in Bonham. The huge facility had plenty of room for the evening’s music and dancing. The mariachi band started the evening. They played traditional mariachi songs as the families and wedding party promenaded into the room. The bride and groom shared a first dance and then danced with important members of their families. In a particularly charming tableau, the bride danced with her father who was wearing a large black cowboy hat. Soon popular Tejano hits played by a live band got everyone out on the floor for favorites like a snake dance and the merangue. During the snake dance, partiers danced through an arch formed by the groom holding up the bride’s veil. The night also included an entertaining DJ.

Bright flowers decorated the tiers of Ruben and Diana’s cake which featured columns between the tiers. The bride and groom courteously fed one another first bites, but then the bride took a playful swipe at the groom’s nose with a little icing.
The single guests enjoyed the bouquet and garter tosses. Then it was time for a money dance. Well Wishers pinned dollar bills all over the bride and groom as they danced. Eventually the bride and groom said their farewells and drove away in a bright red sportscar beautifully decorated the day’s events.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

Ruben and Diana wedding day was seasoned by traditions from both sides of the border. The rites, rituals, music and conversations flowed freely in both English and Spanish. Regardless of the language, love and joy translate well on video.
Along with being video specialists, our technicians are also audio specialists and used many of our tricks to capture the sights and sounds of Ruben and Diana’s special day. During the ceremony we used our proprietary remote control camera that allowed us to get tight close-ups of the bride and groom during the vows without having a cameraman nearby. Meanwhile, we were up in the choir loft with the mariachi band recording their happy tunes.

A unique feature of this wedding was the three different types of music offered. Each of the bands and the DJ had their own sound equipment and very little time between sets to break down and set up. So we figured out a way to record them all without hindering the program. We also had a wireless mic on the groom.

When we came back to the studio, we mixed all the audio with the video footage so Ruben and Diana wouldn’t miss a word or a gesture from their wedding day. When they saw the proof, Ruben and Diana requested that our chapter heading be in Spanish. No problemo, since we customize each disc and cover to our couples’ specifications.

Jennifer and James

Videographers Wedding Dallas TX Features Jennifer and James

Jennifer and James at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church and KJT Auditorium in Ennis, TX

“You’ve got a building full of people to support you,” the dj announced as Jennifer and James strolled hand-in-hand into Ennis’s KJT Hall .  They’d also filled up the St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church  earlier in the day.  This union brought joy to many.

The beautiful bride chose a jewel studded fit-and-flare strapless gown with a corset closing for her wedding day.  The shirred bodice hugged her torso and was gathered to the side with a jeweled decoration on her hip.  A sheer overskirt, trimmed in lace revealed an underskirt of satin brocade.  When everything else was in place, Jennifer stepped out of a pair of clear plastic flip-flops and into a chic pair of champagne lace sling-back pumps with a peek-a-boo toe.  Jennifer was then ready to marry her fellow.

The church, named for the patron saint of Czechoslovakia, is a grand edifice with beautiful stained glass windows and ornate golden accoutrements.  Jennifer’s bridesmaids in their tomato red, halter-style short dresses with sheer shrugs stood out against the elegant surroundings.  A pretty little flower-girl led a shy tuxedoed companion down the aisle.  A sign around his neck proclaimed, “Here comes the bride.”

The doors opened and Jennifer headed down the aisle on the arm of her father.  She carried a flamboyant bouquet of bright-hued flowers.  The ceremony featured a live soloist, the reading of Bible passages and the lighting of a Unity Candle.  When the priest allowed the groom to kiss his bride, James held Jennifer in a passionate embrace.

After the ceremony James assisted the bride into his great big white pick-up truck.  As he drove away a collection of tin cans, attached to the truck with string, made a loud clatter.  Nothing quite says Ennis like the KJT Hall where the reception was held.  KJT stands for Katolická Jednota Texaská, Catholic Union of Texas.  For 47 years, thousands have flocked to the hall for the annual National Polka Festival  , but on this day, everyone was there for Jennifer and James.

In the entry area, a large display decorated with candles and flowers showed off a collection of photographs of and memorabilia from Jennifer and James.  Around the corner friends sat up a delicious buffet of Slavic sweets.  To kick off the festivities, Jennifer and James led a promenade of friends and family around the dance floor, through couples with joined hands held high and ended up in the middle of the floor, dancing their first dance as the others slowly circled around them.

The night continued with more traditional Slavic dances like The Little Bird and the polka.  Jennifer threw one bouquet to the young girls and another for the single ladies.  James retrieved Jennifer’s garter with his teeth and then threw it to the single guys around a football.  The couple escaped from the KJT Hall for the quiet of the parking lot and then stole away hand-in-hand.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

When Jennifer and James called us, they asked if we did Slovakian weddings.  Then they found out how many different wedding traditions we’d recorded over the years.  They realized we could handle whatever the polka-loving Czechs could throw at us.

We used two cameras to capture Jennifer and James special day.  During the ceremony, we used our remote control camera to capture tight close-ups of the vows.  This camera gets close without requiring a camera to be in the middle of the ceremony.  Another camera stayed at the back of the church to capture the ceremony from a second vantage point.

Because we had two cameras, one camera was able to stay behind and record the fun the couple had taking the post-ceremony photographs.  He also caught the big pick-up heading off to the KJT Hall with the tin cans in tow.  Jennifer and Jame’s entrance to the hall was captured by the second cameraman who had gone ahead.  The team works together so they won’t miss a thing.

Wedding Videographers Dallas Capture Theresa and Timothy’s  Ceremony and Reception

 Theresa and Timothy at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and Big Sky Event Hall

The gracefully carved double doors of the ornate church opened to reveal the bride.  Sunshine glowed through her veil creating a halo of light.  The message was clear.  The lucky groom was marrying an angel.  Timothy and his angel, Theresa, were married at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Dallas,Texas.

Theresa did look angelic on her wedding day.  She chose a simple, white satin, A-line gown with a straight shirred bodice and wide straps.  The folds continued down the full skirt.  Her full length veil of soft tulle seemed to float around her, revealing baby’s breath tucked between her tresses.

St. Thomas Aquinas, a stunning example of Gothic architecture, provided an elegant venue for Theresa and Timothy’s wedding.  Their amazing pipe organ filled the church with glorious sound as Theresa’s father escorted her down the aisle.   Waiting with the groom at the altar were the couple’s attendants.  The bridesmaids wore soft crepe dresses in dark olive and the groomsmen sported purple boutonnieres in their tux lapels.  Dramatic floral arrangements with pink gladiolas provided a background for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, friends and family gathered in the church for photos.  Jokes flew among the wedding party members as the photographer lined them up.  Photographers traditionally tell people to say ‘cheese’ when trying to solicit smiles from their subjects, but someone in this crowd called out “cheesecake” instead.  Could they have known what was to come?

After the photo fun, the celebration moved to Big Sky Event Hall  in Royce City . The venue was very name-appropriate for this couple.  Timothy is from Montana, also known as Big Sky Country and that’s where they’ve made their home.  Big Sky sits on a 250 acre family-owned ranch.  Huge trees dot the wide open plain surrounding the venue making it seem as if visitors can see into forever.  The rustic barn-like facility looked particularly festive with white bunting and twinkle lights in the rafters.

The charming couple danced first with one another and also with their parents.  Then came the cheesecake – a whole table of various cheesecakes.   The couple cut one of the delicious offerings and fed the first slice to one another.  After toasting, they linked arms and drank champagne.

At the end of the evening, well wishers showered the couple with rose petals.  Timothy helped Theresa and her large white dress fit into his small red car.  Then they drove away into the sunset.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

This wedding highlight video is just a sampling from Theresa and Timothy’s wedding day.  They chose the beautiful music and our producer edited scenes from their day to fit in with the music.

Through the magic of video, we can create wonderful illusions.  For instance, in the video Theresa recites her vows as if by memory, even though at the wedding she had actually been prompted through each phrase by the priest.

We have other tricks up our sleeve, too.  It seems as if our cameraman must have been standing just behind the groom to get these shots of Theresa, but that would have been distracting to the audience.  So, instead, we have a remote control camera on a tripod just outside of the audience’s line of sight operated by a cameraman up in the choir loft.  This set-up allows us to capture many shots that other videographers have to miss.

Samantha and Damien’s Ceremony in Dallas Wedding Videos

Samantha and Damien at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano, TX

The church was buzzing with matrimonial activity. A beautiful bride was helped into her gorgeous gown while her charming father helped her nervous groom insert studs into his tuxedo shirt. Samantha and Damien were married at Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Plano, Texas.

As Samantha climbed up through the pleated organza ruffles of her wedding dress, a bridesmaid peeked through the opening in the top and said, “There’s a girl in there” – and what a pretty girl it was. The bride emerged from the strapless gown maneuvering its straight neckline into place. She stood before a mirror as a bridesmaid laced up the gown’s corset closing. The front of the fit-and-flare gown was bedecked with lace encrusted in pearls and crystals which spiraled down the shirred satin of the torso-hugging bodice. The ruffles on the skirt wound round and round, to the tip of her train. Dark brown hair trimmed in pearls could be seen through a pearl-studded tulle veil trimmed in satin. Pearls and crystal also glowed from the bride’s earrings, necklace and bracelet. The effect was stunning.

Samantha’s bridesmaids wore short, one-shouldered dresses in deep purple, which matched the purple silk boutonnieres on the groomsmen. The bride carried a large mixed bouquet complimented by the bridesmaid’s bouquets which were a smaller version of the bride’s. The church was decorated with large arrangements of white flowers accented with red carnations. Everything went smoothly thanks to Vana Nutt, the church’s wedding coordinator.

As Damien stood at the front of the church waiting for his bride to enter the church he was visibly nervous, but excited about ceremony. Just moments before he’d recorded a message for Samantha, “I love you so very much. I’m glad I get to spend the rest of my life with you.”

During the traditional ceremony, the bride and groom lit a unity candle to symbolize their new life. After the priest pronounced them man and wife, he hesitated before allowing them to kiss. The short pause was electric with anticipation. Given permission to kiss his bride, Damien dipped her deeply for the affectionate caress. The couple delivered roses to their mothers as they left the front of the church.

After the ceremony, family, friends and participants posed for Frederick Ruffner of F.A.R.J. Photography (link to Photographer). After one pose the bride delivered a hug to the priest. In another pose, the groom was especially grateful for the opportunity to give his bride a greatly extended kiss. When the pictures were over, the bride and groom disappeared through an ornate gate and turned a corner into their new life.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions, Dallas Wedding Videos

Samantha and Damien got ready in different parts of the church, but through the magic of video they will always be able to enjoy those moments together. This highlight is just a quick sample of their full length wedding video. LeniCam provided five combo DVD/BluRay packages to the bride and groom and posted this highlight online to be shared with family and friends.

In this ceremony-only, one-camera shoot, we used our experience in recording, editing and mixing to make it appear as if multiple cameras were shooting from a variety of angles. This enhances the viewing experience. Another trick we’ve learned is to put a wireless microphone on the groom’s lapel so that every word of the vows can be heard clearly on the video.

We promised Samantha and Damien that no matter what happened – good and bad – on their wedding day, they would love their wedding video; and they did.

Lisa& Brett at St Catherine Sienna Catholic Church

Country Club Reception with a DJ

Brett and Lisa said their vows at St Catherine Sienna Catholic Church in Carrollton, Texas. Their relative, a brand new priest, officiated his first wedding ceremony. He made the couple, and the audience, feel very welcome and comfortable. The reception followed with a DJ at the Castle Hills Golf Club in Lewisville, Texas.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

St. Catherine Sienna Catholic Church has semicircle seating. This was important to us as we chose which camera from our extensive inventory we would take to Brett and Lisa’s wedding.  We selected our custom-designed proprietary  remote camera.  This camera can be situated out of the audience’s line of sight, but very close to the bride and groom.  That way we can get tight close-ups during the vows, while the cameraman operates the equipment from the back of the church.

Some things we can plan for, others we can’t.  At this wedding, it was a very windy day.  So we took advantage of the breeze and recorded some very nice scenes of Lisa veil blowing in the wind.

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.

Couple Marries in Lovely Catholic Ceremony with Church Reception in video by Wedding Videographer Dallas TX

Emily and A.J. – St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Garland

The bride primped for her wedding in a white silk robe emblazoned in rhinestones with the word “Bride.”  Meanwhile, on the parking lot, the groom and his attendants were getting in a little touch football.  Emily and A.J. were married at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Garland.

Emily’s white satin gown was encrusted with crystal beading.  Her A-line gown with a sweetheart neckline was held in place with wide beaded straps.  Her veil was cathedral length and her bouquet was white calla lilies.

The groom wasn’t nervous at all when he was playing touch foot-ball or when he greeted the guests.  When he moved to the front of the church the story was a little different.  By the time he got to the vows, he required a little coaching to get it all said and he barely held the tears at bay. The groom’s relief was palatable as the couple made their way down the aisle after the ceremony.

The couple was a good-natured pair.  Emily gently teased A.J. about tearing up as they danced their first dance.  Then they mimicked a stabbing with the cake cutting knife.  Even the wedding cake had a sense of fun.  Each layer was a different shape and one layer was decorated in an animal print.  The groom’s cake was the after-scene of a snowmen’s-snowball-fight and only one snowman was left standing.

A.J. was so anxious to start their new life together that after some dancing he trotted out to the car, almost dragging Emily along.  Friends vigorously waved streamers of purple and white as the couple drove away.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

We think a wedding video should do more than record a series of events.  Emily and A.J.s video conveys their quirky sense of humor and their devotion to one another.  In the years to come we want the video to remind them of what they love about one another and why they got married in the first place.  We tell our couples that no matter what happens on their wedding day – good and bad – they are going to love their wedding video…and they always do.

To capture this wedding we arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony to catch the bride in her silk robe and A.J. out playing parking lot football.  All day long, we tried to be everywhere, recording everything, while at the same time remaining invisible to the participants and guests.  We stayed until the couple drove away after the reception.

When we arrived we unloaded a lot of audio and video equipment.  Our cameras are professional grade HD cameras that allow us to get high quality video from the edges from the edge of the crowd because of their zoom capabilities.  We have tripods to hold the cameras completely still during the ceremony and rolling dollies to capture the movement during the reception.

We also have a lot of audio equipment.  We can actually provide the sound system for a wedding if needed, but for this one we just used microphones and audio feeds.  One of the best things we did was place a mic on the groom’s lapel.  That’s how we got his comments before the wedding ceremony and the conversation during the first dance.

We’ve been in the business of vidographing weddings for over a decade and we’ve learned a lot in that time.  We’re familiar with many venues and have relationships with a great number of service providers.  We’ve even developed equipment especially engineered for wedding videography.  We loved the opportunity to use our experience and equipment for Emily and A.J.’s wedding.  Emily and A.J. loved their wedding video and gave us a Five Star rating on The Knot.

Betsy and Steve – Christ the King Catholic Church and the Old Red Courthouse in Dallas

When asked what he looked forward to on his wedding day, Steve said, “To enjoy myself.”  He certainly got what he wanted .  Steve married Betsy at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas.

In the bride’s room, Betsy transformed from a pretty girl in a flannel shirt to a stunning bride.  Her fit-and- flare gown was a vision of soft white shirred tulle.  A strapless sweetheart neckline showed off her crystal necklace and tiara.  The fitted bodice with corset closing was embellished with a crystal decoration below the bust, giving it the illusion of an empire waistline.  The shirred tulle of the full skirt gave the bride an ethereal look, as if she were walking through a cloud.  Standing at the door of the church holding her cascading bouquet of colorful mixed roses and white orchids tiny Betsy seemed to be a fairy bride, coming to marry her hero.

Christ the King is a beautiful, ornate church.  Betsy’s eight bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid in bright coral dresses brightened the front of the church even more than the large floral display near the altar.  A flower girl in a white dress trimmed with roses completed the bridal party.

After the wedding ceremony which included the lighting of a unity candle, the handsome couple posed for their formal portraits with their attendants and immediate family.  Then a long white limousine carried them to the Old Red Courthouse in Downtown Dallas for their fun-filled reception.

Energy and joy overflowed from the couple whether they were simply cutting their cake or cutting a rug.  Before removing Betsy’s garter for the toss, Steve had the bride and the crowd in stitches with his vigorous dance.  When their exciting wedding day was over, the couple left for a European honeymoon.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

The bride is most frequently the one who books us for a wedding.   Sometimes it is one of the mothers or a friend of the family. This time we were hired by the groom and he wanted something out of the ordinary for his big day.  We dug around in our bag of tricks and came up with just the thing.

Though we video more weddings than anything other kind of event, our portfolio encompasses a wide variety of occasions, sporting events, recitals, banquets and business purposes.  At banquets we often broadcast what we are filming for the audience during the event.  That sounded like a good idea to Steve.  So he had us waiting on the curb when their limo arrived at the Old Red Courthouse.  The guests were able to watch the bride and groom exit the limo and climb the stairs, because we also provided a video player and three projectors.  Even we were surprised with the way this increased the excitement level of the guests as they waited for the couple to come into the room.  We kept the cameras rolling and guests were pleased to find themselves momentarily spotlighted on the screen throughout the night.  At other times during the evening we broadcast videos provided by friends.

On Betsy and Steve’s wedding day we were everywhere, all the time, recording everyone and everything.  One of our favorite sequences in this video happens right before the ceremony. A friend helps Steve into his jacket and then with a jaw set with determination and vigor in his steps, Steve heads out the door to marry the woman he loves.  Those are the kind of moments our couples love to watch.

Real Love and Faux Snow in Wedding Video Dallas TX

Sarah and Kelly – All Saints Catholic Church and The Nuvo Room

“She’s perfect,” Kelly explained when the videographer asked about Sarah.  Could a bride ask for a better description?  Kelly and Sarah were married at All Saints Catholic Church in Dallas.

When his bride finally reached his side at the end of the aisle, Kelly said, “You look breath-taking.” She did look stunning in white satin covered in lacy tulle.  Her A-line gown with empire waist featured cap sleeves and a V-neck.  She carried a bouquet of purple and white flowers.  Her lace-edged finger-tip veil framed her beautiful smiling face.

The beauty of their Catholic ceremony was emphasized by the obvious joy they took in one another. Kelly, in particular was especially emphatic when making his vows to Sarah, while her smile lit up the room.  After the ceremony, the exuberant couple was full of fun as the photographer posed them, their family and their wedding party for shots.  Laura greeted everyone by introducing them to her husband.  So, Kelly introduced them to his wife.  Their comic quips to one another are charming.

At the reception, in the Farmers Branch’s Nuvo Room, exuberance grew into exhilaration.  When the bride and groom cut their cake, they painted one another faces with icing and then melted into laughter.    A delicious meal fueled guests and the wedding party for a night filled with dancing.  A live band kept a crowd on the dance floor and each face was smiling.

Eventually, the evening came to a close and the couple ventured out into the cold January evening where their guests pelted them with faux snow.  Sarah and Kelly hurried through the tossed pelting to the waiting limousine.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions  

Sarah and Kelly enjoyed a marvelous wedding day, full of joy, laughter and love. The very best part just might be the on-going banter between the bride and groom.  One moment they have you laughing with them and the next they take your breath away with the depth of their love for one another.

These exchanges were captured by a wireless microphone on Kelly’s lapel.  We attached it before the ceremony and invited him to wear it through the night.  This is a part of our set-up for all weddings and we usually get some gems from the recordings, but rarely are we able to mine so many valuable nuggets.

After recording video and audio throughout the day, we return to our studio and pore over the footage for several weeks as we edit and mix the finished product.  We promised Sarah and Kelly that no matter what happened on their wedding day – both good and bad – they’d love their wedding video.  And they did.
