Videos Wedding Dallas Produce Video from Castle Hills Golf Club

Thomas married Madison at Castle Hills Golf Club in Lewisville, TX. The beautiful bride and handsome groom gathered with family and friends on Independence morning for their wedding, because they first met on a Fourth of July. The Castle Hills Golf Club is a beautiful setting with large picture windows looking out over a valley of manicured golf course. The reception followed with a great celebration and a DJ.

Our challenge at this wedding was the large windows.  While they created a beautiful background for the ceremony, they also  produced a large backlight for our front camera angle. We recorded in a way to preserve the light levels of the faces, and then took the video back to our studies to fine tune the footage.  The final video showed all of the bride’s emotions and expressions.

Thoughtful Bride Honors Many Traditions at Country Club Wedding

Leanna and Tim – Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco Texas Captured by Wedding Videographer for Dallas TX

Leanna wasn’t taking any chances on her wedding day.  From pinning something old on her petticoat to a sixpence taped on her shoe, she took all the proper bridal precautions.  Then after a final application of lip gloss, she marched right out and married Tim at Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco.

Leanna was dazzling on her wedding day in a bright-white strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline.  The bodice was covered in crystal beads sewn into a floral lace pattern and the A-line skirt was a series of vertical organza ruffles.  Even her fingertip veil was edged in crystals.  Still, her smile was her most beautiful accoutrement.

As the wedding party made their way into the ceremony, the ring bearer appeared to be exasperated by the whole process.  He stomped down the aisle with his arms crossed and the ring pillow shoved to the side.  He was followed down the aisle by a flower girl who shared none of his angst.  She almost floated down the aisle with joy.

Leanna and Tim wrote their vows for one another, which were both meaningful and humorous.  The touching ceremony included the lighting of a unity candle. After announcing the couple man and wife, the officiant got in on the humor, declaring them Mr. and Mrs. Little Timothy Navin when tall broad-shouldered groom was anything but little.

It was easy to see that Leanna had put a lot of thought into the celebration.  Along with her pre-wedding ministrations, the programs were “Wedding Activity Books” and the guests located their table for the reception with personalized luggage tags.

It was also easy to see this couple was devoted to fun.  The wedding cake topper was bride and groom figurines carrying signs.  The groom’s sign said, “Mr. Right,” while the bride’s sign declared she was “Mrs. Always Right.”  Instead of the standard tiered wedding cake, they served a table full of decorated one-layer cakes.  When the couple cut their cake the ritual almost turned into a food fight.  Another laughter-filled moment of the day was the Newlywed Shoe Game where both spouse admitted that Leanna made the first move.

The good times continued through the garter toss.  Little Timothy tossed the garter onto a ledge which hid the indirect lighting overhead.  Even Little Timothy couldn’t reach it.  Not to worry – the ever-prepared bride just happened to have a second garter.

As the guests said farewell with bubbles, the bride and groom played one more prank.  Tim’s mother drove up in her SUV and when they drove away, Mom and bride were in the front seat, while Tim pouted in the back seat.

Leanna and Tim chose our wedding package with two videographers.  That allows us to record the wedding from two different perspectives and weave them together at our studio through editing and mixing.  In this highlight film, we also wove their vows together to show the essence of their vows without taking time to reproduce the entire exchange.  The camera which provided the close-ups was actually a proprietary remote control camera.  It sat near the front, outside  of the line of sight and without the movements of a cameraman to distract from the ceremony.

Another trick we’ve learned in all these years of wedding videography is that the audio portion of a wedding is as important as what you see.  So we put a lapel microphone on the groom.  This trick helped up pick up the heart-warming and funny-bone tickling vows.  We also got to listen is as the bride and groom serenaded one another in the first dance.

Star Trek, Gaming Icons and Peacocks – Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson

Erin and John believe that on your special day you should surround yourself with the people and things you love.  So with family and friends they enjoyed a wedding day full of peacocks, gaming icons and a little Star Trek.  Erin and John were married at Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson.

Erin’s white duchess satin wedding dress was fit for a queen.  The dress was liberally decorated with crystals and lace and featured a corset closing.  Inset into the waist and the train were panels of silk-embroidered black velvet.  Glittering brooches were gathered into bouquet for the bride to carry.  With bridesmaids dressed in deep sapphire gowns and peacock feathers abounding, the wedding was a royal affair.  The guys’ boutonnieres were made of peacock feathers held in place by a Star Trek emblem.

The ceremony took place under a white canopy tied with sapphire ropes.  Guests sat in white folding chairs and a metal peacock guarded the back of the church.  The bride and groom gazed lovingly into one another’s eyes throughout their vows.  A binding of their hands symbolized the joining of their lives.  Then a passionate kiss sealed their promises.  After the ceremony, Photography by Clarence gathered the wedding party for still photos.

More royal treatment awaited the guests at the reception.  Rich teal and purple dominated the room.  Elaborate floral decorations with peacock feathers graced the tables.  The layered wedding cake, decorated in bands of rhinestones, also gave a nod to their techie-gaming theme.  The bride and groom figurines topping the cake were robots, a gear decorated one layer and gaming cubes another.  The grooms cake feature ninja throwing stars and a pair of gaming consoles.  At the end of the evening, with guests waving streamers and blowing bubbles, Erin and John got into their car and drove away.

This wedding highlight video barely scratches the surface of what we deliver to our couples.  It’s only a few minutes gleaned from a full length DVD (BluRay is also available).  What’s more, for it to load quickly on the internet, we had to reduce the quality.

We spent the whole day at Erin and John’s wedding, arriving an hour and a half before the ceremony and only loading up our equipment after they’d driven away.  We had hours of video coverage and multiple tracks of audio when we were through.  Over the next few weeks we pored over the footage at our studio, mixing and editing the video and audio portions to create a unique wedding video.  Then we turned the demo over to the couple for their edits.

When we got the final OK from the couple we created a personalized DVD with photos from the wedding on the cover and disc.  The DVD includes personalized menus and multiple audio tracks, just like a Hollywood DVD would.  Then five copies of the completed DVD were delivered to Erin and John.

We still weren’t through.  We loaded this highlight on the internet so family and friends could view and download it.  We also store the footage of the DVD on our secure server so additional or replacement copies are always available.

Haley and Bradley at Irvings Hackberry Creek Country Club in Wedding Videos Dallas

Bradley stood at the end of the aisle, seriously contemplating what he was about to undertake.  Then his eyes fell on Haley and a smile lit up his face.  Haley and Bradley were married at Hackberry Creek Country Club in Irving.

Catching sight of Haley on her wedding day was enough to make anyone smile.  The lace bodice of her ball gown tucked into a wide satin sash and the pleated satin skirt billowed out below.  A full veil fell from her updo.  She carried a bouquet of mixed purple flowers highlighted with calla lilies, stephanotis and small green chrysanthemums.

The ceremony was lovely and heartfelt.  You can see the couple’s earnestness during the vows.  The couple participated in a sand-pouring ceremony to symbolize how their previously separate lives were now becoming one.

Once the ceremony was behind them, a lighter mood settled onto the newlywed man and wife.  They joked with one another during the formal photography session and were both radiantly happy as they strolled into the reception.

Their reception was a very tempting affair.  The wedding cake, topped with decorated cakeballs starred in a dessert bar complete with a chocolate fountain.  However, the dance floor seemed to be an even bigger temptation; it stayed busy all night long.  The bride and groom were in the center of things, oftentimes providing the musical entertainment themselves.

The final song was the Star Wars theme song.  The couple escaped through a shower of bubbles to their SUV which had been decorated with a number of Star Wars references.  Come to think of it, did you notice how much Haley resembled Princess Leia?

The Force was certainly with Haley and Bradley on their wedding day.  Our videographer was glad our tripods have wheels as he followed the energetic couple.  One of our goals during the wedding was to be everywhere, recording everything and everyone all the time.  Another goal was to be virtually invisible.  That’s the reason we chose to use a professional grade HD videocameras.

We believe the bride and groom should be the stars of their day – especially on the actual wedding day.  Our larger cameras allow us to stay in the background and zoom in and out for our shots, while maintaining the highest of video quality.  A cameraperson using a DSLR would have had to stay close to the Haley and Bradley throughout the day.  Wherever the guests saw Haley and Bradley, they would have also been looking at the camera-person.  We wanted a better experience for everyone.

In a wedding video, sounds are as important as sounds.  So the video will sound as good as it looks, we use a variety of microphones and audio feeds.  We want every word to be crystal clear.
