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.

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.

Carola Conces v16 highlight v13

 Carola and Joseph at Christ the King Catholic Church and Park Cities Hilton in Videography Wedding Dallas

Carola knew her parents would think Joseph was the one, because he was a nice Midwestern Catholic boy.  On a camping trip, Joseph’s sisters decided Carola was the one, because she didn’t flinch at his smelly hiking boots.  The families were right.  Carola and Joseph were married at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas.

The exquisite jewel-box church was the perfect background for the beautiful Carola in her ornate lace-encrusted fit-and-flare gown, with cap sleeves and a sweetheart neckline.  A lace-trimmed cathedral length veil cascaded from a small pearl cap and a beaded belt highlighted her trim waist.

With her veil covering her face, Carola seemed to float down the aisle on her father’s arm.  Giving his daughter to Joseph, the father expressed his joy at their union.  When the priest declared the couple man and wife, Joseph grabbed Carola up in an enthusiastic embrace and the audience broke out in an extended round of applause.

The celebration moved to the Park Cities Hilton where live musicians entertained with hits from the Big Band era for the formal spotlight dances.  The tall wedding cake looked as if it had been covered in lace and the final tier was topped with flowers.  Single guests battled eagerly for the chance to catch the bouquet or garter.  The party really heated up when a dj inspired everyone to get out on the dance floor.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

The LeniCam videographer arrived at Christ the King Catholic Church an hour and a half before Carola and Joseph’s wedding to capture the sights and sounds of their special day.  The first job was to set up the professional-grade HD video camera.  The unique design of the church allowed our cameraman to hide up close to make close-ups of the vows without creating a distraction at the front of the church.  We also used a variety of microphones and audio feeds so we didn’t miss any of the sentiments expressed.

Throughout the celebration we went everywhere and recorded everything, but our goal was to remain invisible and avoid distracting from the stars of the day, Carola and Joseph.  Recording the audio and video footage is only part of our job.  We took the recordings back to our studio and in the ensuing weeks edited and mixed the material into a wedding video for the couple to cherish all the days of their marriage.

Jackie and Joey

Jackie and Joey at Christ the King Catholic Church and Belo Mansion

Jackie looked more beautiful  on her wedding day than any celebrity bride gracing the pages of a gossip magazine.  The radiant bride’s lace off-the-shoulder gown and cathedral length lace veil would have been the highlight of any starlet’s movie wardrobe.  Waiting for her at the altar was her leading man in the distinctive Marine dress uniform.  Jackie married Joey in an elegant ceremony at the ornate Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas captured by videographer Dallas Wedding.

Many brides want to surprise their groom with their attire on their wedding day, but Joey, who was supposed to wear a tux, got the drop on Jackie at this wedding.  She was thrilled with his wardrobe surprise.  As the couple stood together before the priest you could almost see the electricity pass between them.  They did not seem to be able to get enough of the sight of each other.

Christ the King is a gorgeous church and on this wedding day it looked even more dazzling.  The pews were hung with floral decorations draped in lace.  Lace also covered the altar.  Flowers and lace were everywhere.

The handsome couple’s ceremony included music from a trumpet and pipe organ, as well as a splendid vocal solo.  They participated in lighting a unity candle and in a lassoing with crystal rosaries and lace.  Joey offered a gift of coins to symbolize his dedication to providing for his home and family.  Jackie accepted the coins with the promise that she would use what he provided with care.

When the priest declared them man and wife, one embrace was not enough for Joey.  After the ceremony the couple climbed into a vintage car and joined their guests at the Belo Mansion in Dallas’s Arts District.  For the reception Joey changed into the tuxedo Jackie thought he would be wearing for the ceremony.  The couple was stunning regardless of the wardrobe choices.

Jackie and Joey’s wedding not only looked like part of a Hollywood movie; the tribute her father made to the groom would be perfect for any script.  “He’s the kind of guy you always wish your daughter would marry.”  Other details of the day were also Hollywood-worthy, but what was most evident throughout the day was that this marriage was deeply rooted in a tradition of close family ties and the couple intended to carry the tradition into the future.

The bride and groom serenaded one another in perfect pitch during their first dance.  The bride’s cake looked as if it were draped in jeweled satin bows.  The groom’s cake was a tribute to the Marines.  During the cutting of the bride’s cake, Joey behaved perfectly, but with a twinkle of his eye, after Jackie fed him a bite of the chocolate groom’s cake, he fed himself another bite.

A live band entertained the guests after the delicious dinner and the floor was constantly packed with energetic dancers keeping time with the throbbing beat.  The groom and some of his pals snuck out on the balcony for celebratory cigars.  Everyone was having a grand old time.

At the end of the evening, the couple climbed down the imposing stairs of the luxurious mansion and into a waiting Cinderalla carriage.  As they rode away into the night there’s a sense that this was a marriage made in heaven.

Behind the Scene with LeniCam Video Productions

Jackie and Joey had a lot happening on their wedding day.  It took two cameramen and a wide variety of equipment to capture it all.  We were particularly glad to have two videocameras in the gorgeous sanctuary of Christ the King Church.  One camera with a nine foot tripod was in the back to record the overall glory of the venue.  Up front we hid in an alcove to get close-ups of the couple as they gazed eagerly into one another’s eyes, without having to have a cameraman at the altar with them.

We arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony to set up our cameras.  Churches like Christ the King, which are popular with brides, often have strict rules about where we can put our vidoegraphers and our cameras.   Our proprietary camera allows us to get shots we’d miss otherwise, because the camera can be hidden more easily than a cameraman.  We also hooked up to the sound system and placed microphones in strategic points to capture the sounds of the day, like the Scripture readings and musical solos.  The most important microphone was a wireless mic on the groom’s lapel.  Without we were able to clearly capture the couple’s vows and their serenade to one another during the first dance.

Bree and Webb

Videographer for Dallas Texas Captures Bree and Webb at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas

When Webb joined Bree’s study group, he wanted to improve his calculus grade.  He didn’t realize he was also going to improve his love life.  Bree and Webb were married at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas’ beautiful Preston Hollow area and were captured by videographer for Dallas wedding.

Christ the King is a stunning venue for a wedding.  The colorful stained glass windows, marble parquet floors and elaborate chandeliers, with their triple-crown motif, provide an elegant backdrop for nuptials.  Wedding coordinator, Colleen Harkins, produced a polished event.

The lovely bride with her winning smile and big brown eyes was even more stunning than the setting of her wedding.  Her beautiful jewel encrusted gown was fit for a princess.  In this highlights video we see Bree in a t-shirt coming to the church with her gown over her arm.  Then she is transformed by the ornate gown with its corset lacing and magnificent gown.

The formal Catholic ceremony with its readings and communion service was complimented by its regal surroundings.  A string quartet playing classical music completed the opulent tone of the wedding.  After the ceremony, the newly married couple climbed into a sleek black limousine.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions, Videographer for Dallas Wedding

A resplendent wedding like Bree and Webb’s is made up of many parts and on the day of the event it would be impossible for any spectator to take in all aspects.  LeniCam videographers worked as a team to capture all the parts making a seamless whole, which could be enjoyed long into the future.  We arrived early to capture the bride as she arrived.  We got exterior shots of the venue, so viewers of the video can remember all the magnificent details. We recorded from various angles so you could see the entire wedding party, as well as the bride’s face as she pledged her love to her groom.

For a wedding video, sounds are as important as the visual aspects.  Vidographer for Dallas wedding uses special noise-reducing, wireless microphones to pick up a variety of audio feeds.  Then back at our studios we weave the audio portions in to the video footage, pulling together a video that encompasses more of the wedding than any guest was able to enjoy.
