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.

Amanda and Art – Ashton Gardens in Corinth – Wedding Videos Dallas TX

Second Daughter Marries at Ashton Gardens with LeniCam Video Productions

Art was pretty nervous about his wedding day.  Tears rushed to his eyes when his bride entered the chapel.  When she reached his side, they discussed his nervousness in whispers as the ceremony went on around them.  His hands shook as they cut their wedding cake.  Once the formalities were behind him and he had Amanda in his arms for the First Dance, the nerves disappeared and you could see just how happy Art was to have the beautiful Amanda as his companion for life.  Amanda and Art were married at Ashton Gardens in Corinth.

Amanda was decked out from head to toe for her big day.  Her veil was held in place by a sparkling headband.  Her strapless ballgown with sweetheart neckline was a real showstopper.  The skirt featured wired ruffles running down the length of it, topped off with a sparkling belt and lace bodice.  Under the gown she chose lace espadrilles – a comfortable choice proving she had brains as well as beauty.  The bridesmaids wore short lace dresses in a bright coral with turquoise high-heeled pumps.

Ashton Gardens looked particularly lovely on Art and Amanda’s wedding day.  The gorgeous weather enhanced the view through the three windows surrounding the chapel, looking out onto beautiful wooded scenery.  Pews were decorated by nosegays with large bows and an ornate urn on the stage held an elaborate floral arrangement.  Also gracing the stage were a large wrought iron candelabra, a unity candle and a unity cross.

After the ceremony family and friends joined the couple for some photos and then went to the reception space, just a few feet away.  Art and Amanda lingered in the chapel for a few more shots with Therwhanger Photography and then strolled across to the reception.  As they made a dramatic entrance down Ashton Gardens’ elegant curving staircase, DJ Tommy L. Chamber of Shon-C introduced them to the excited guests.

Guests enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner, had fun in the photobooth and then hit the dance floor.  The DJ kept everyone hopping with a wide variety of music and activities, including the bouquet and garter tosses.  By the end of the evening, Amanda traded her wedding finery in on a pair of shorts with an embroidered boyfriend shirt.  Then Art escorted Amanda to a waiting car while friends and family waved farewell with glowing sparklers.

We love weddings, because no matter how many we attend, we find something wonderful to enjoy.  We were particularly happy to be invited to this one, because we’d videoed her sister Allysa’s wedding just a few years before.  On this day, Art’s extreme nervousness and excitement made the day very special to us and our equipment helped us highlight it in our video.

We used two cameras to video the wedding – one at the back of the chapel and another up front on the stage, hidden behind a floral display.  Our camera on the stage caught the bride’s entrance and the audience’s response, while the camera in the back focused on the nervous groom.  During the ceremony we kept the camera at the front on the couple and we could hear what they said, because we’d put a wireless lavalier microphone on the groom.  That’s how we captured their interaction.

Because we use professional grade HD videocameras we’re able to stay out of sight while we get the shots.  Most videographers don’t have the same zoom capabilities as our cameras, so they have to stay very close to the bride.  We’re able to set up our cameras, get the shots and be virtually invisible throughout the day.

Ying & Taylor Share Language and Love

Ashton Gardens in Corinth

When Taylor met Ying, she was actually his teacher.  After his graduation, the two began working at the same place.  They became friends and eventually began dating.  Taylor realized that he was always happier when Ying was around, so he proposed.  The couple was married at Ashton Gardens in Corinth.

Beautiful Ying wore a stunning gown.  Strapless with a sweetheart neckline and corset closing, the dress was made of yards and yards of shirred organza, set off just below the waist with a large floral decoration made from organza.  The center of the flower shone with crystals.

Ying accented her wedding day with bright coral.  She carried a bouquet of coral roses and coral rose petals lined the aisle of the chapel.  Her bridesmaids wore short coral chiffon dresses in a variety of styles.  The men wore coral ties and sported coral boutonnieres.

Ying’s mother walked her down the aisle.  As a part of the ceremony, the couple and their mothers took part in lighting a unique unity candle, which was a votive floating in a tall vase of water.  When given permission to kiss his bride, Taylor dipped her for a kiss.  The audience heartily approved.

After the ceremony, Nicole C. Leiser of A Love Story Photography joked with the family and participants as she posed them for portraits.  Then the couple enjoyed one of the treats of having your wedding and reception at Ashton Gardens.  They entered the reception by coming down the elegant long winding staircase framed by gold brocade and crystal chandeliers.

Ying and Taylor kicked off the reception with a choreographed dance which ended with a dip.  Their guests enjoyed a delicious buffet. Dessert choices included a chocolate wedding cake covered in white icing which appeared to be wrapped in lace ribbon and trimmed with coral roses.  Atop the cake was an ivory porcelain bride-and-groom figurine.  Guests could also choose from handmade chocolate truffles, cheese cake and other sweets.

Michael Furr of First Dance DJs kept the reception events rolling along while spinning tunes which filled the dance floor.  When guest needed a break, they could enjoy the photo booth with props provided by Create the Memories.

Ying’s Chinese heritage played an important role during the day.  Taylor shares a knowledge of her native language, so they often communicate in it.  Chinese symbols were used in decorations.  At the end of the reception, Ying changed into a full length red silk cheongsam to participate in a traditional tea service with her new husband, her mother and Taylor’s parents.

Ying and Taylor’s guests showered them with rose petals as they said their farewells.  Then the couple hopped into their car, decorated with red Chinese symbols for good luck, and drove away.

Ashton Gardens is one of our favorite venues for weddings.  Their marvelous wedding coordinators make our job much easier. Stephanie, who coordinated Ying and Taylor’s wedding is a perfect example.  She kept in touch with everyone throughout the day, making sure we all knew what was coming next.  That’s particularly important for us videographer to know, because it helps us to be set up to get the most critical moments of the day.

Another reason we love Ashton Gardens is the lovely chapel with its three big picture windows surrounding the ceremony and the guests.  The lovely wooded scenery makes a beautiful backdrop, but it doesn’t give a videographer anywhere to hide.  That’s no problem for us, because we’ve developed a proprietary remote control camera on a tall tripod which allows us to get tight close-ups of the couple during the vows without having a videographer up front, distracting from the view.

Since we like to be everywhere, all the time, as we record the sights and sounds of a wedding, while remaining virtually invisible to the participants and guests, we have another trick we find useful.  We put a wireless microphone on the groom’s lapel, so we don’t miss a word of the vows or of the couple’s banter during the reception.  At this wedding, since the couple often spoke in a dialect of Chinese, we weren’t able to understand what they were saying, but that doesn’t matter, because we read body language to decide how to shoot and edit.

Marriott at Legacy at TownCenter Banquet Director Turns to Us for Her Own Wedding Video

Kristin and Matthew – Suncreek United Methodist Church and The Marriott at Legacy Town Center 

When LSU Tiger Matthew took Texas Aggie Kristen to dinner at Bob’s Steakhouse, his plan was to pop the big question.  On an after dinner lake-side stroll he proposed and Kristen said yes.  Their groom’s cake, decorated with Aggie and Tiger logos, declared the couple a house united.  Kristin and Matthew were married at Suncreek United Methodist Church in Allen.

Kristen was a lovely bride in her strapless tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline and corset closing.  The fitted bodice of shirred tulle was decorated with clusters of ornate beading.  The trumpet skirt, also of tulle flared out in a soft cloud and formed a train.  The gathered tulle veil framed her face, showing off her crystal earrings and necklace.  Beautiful roses in a variety of shades of white formed her bouquet.  The bridesmaids wore short black gowns with wide lace straps and their bouquets were bright mixes of various flowers.

Before the wedding, the bride and groom met for a First Look.  During the ceremony the couple lit a unity candle while a live guitarist serenaded them.  After their vows, the couple was joined by family members and the wedding party for photos, while their guests headed to the reception at The Marriot at Legacy Town Center, where Kristin is the Banquet Director.

When guests arrived at the reception they were sweetly greeted by a candy buffet.  Then Kristin and Matthew arrived for their First Dance.  As they cut their lovely four-tiered wedding cake, the couple was all smiles and pleasantries.  The groom’s cake, devoted to their rival schools, stirred up a little competition, though.

A delicious buffet fueled everyone up for an evening of fun.  The dj kept them singing and dancing all evening long.  If anyone needed a break, they could grab up some props and ham it up in the photo booth.  When it was time to leave, the bride and groom made their way through a crowd of their friends who were lighting up the night with bright sparklers.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

As you watch Kristin and Matthew make their vows to one another in this highlight video, notice how the point of view changes.  For awhile, it will seem as if you are standing just behind the groom, peering over his shoulder into Kristin’s face.  We captured those images with our proprietary remote control camera.  The camera is up at the front getting those tight close-ups, but the camera man is at the back of the church, out of sight, so he doesn’t distract from the tender moment.  Another cameraperson operates a second camera in the back of the room, which captures the other vantage point.

Another trick we use to capture the details of the couple’s wedding day, without invading their space, is our lavalier microphone on the groom’s lapel.  We attached it before the ceremony and asked the groom to wear it throughout the evening.  It recorded every word of their vows and gives us an inside seat to their conversations throughout the day.  The endearments shared can be included on the regular audio track or they can be hidden for the couple’s private enjoyment.

Since Kristin is the Banquet Director at the Marriot at Legacy Town Center, she sees a lot of wedding vendors.  We’re proud she chose us for her wedding and even prouder that she frequently recommends us to other brides-to-be.

Grace and Kyle -St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Coppell and Embassy Suite Hotel Reception in Grapevine

Dallas Wedding Video

Grace met Kyle when she was a freshman at high school band camp.  It may have been love at first sight, but in the ensuing years Kyle found more than looks to love.  “She’s beautiful, but not just on the outside,” he said when asked about his bride. Grace and Kyle were married at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Coppell.

Grace was certainly beautiful on her wedding day.  Her sleeveless gown had a lace bodice with a jewel neckline and taupe satin sash.  The elaborate fit-and- flare gown hugged her torso with a shirred organza, sported an organza decoration at the hip and then fell into layers and layers of organza petals and ruffles.  Her   When Kyle saw her his eyebrows flew almost to his hairline.

St. Anne’s is a gorgeous church with ornate decorations in gold and silver.  The nervous pair couldn’t seem to come up with the right responses during the vows, but the priest declared them man and wife nonetheless.  Then Grace had to tell Kyle it was time for them to leave.  Outside they climbed into a Hummer limo which took them to the reception at the Grapevine Embassy Suites.

The reception was a culinary delight.  Guests were treated to a buffet dinner which offered everything from shrimp cocktail to Chinese takeout.  The wedding cake was covered in swirls of white icing and topped with formed sugar flowers.  A stack of cake ball’s with a Baylor bear jumping out of the top was the groom’s dessert.

DJ James Looney kept the dance floor hopping and when the dancers needed a break, there was a photo booth with crazy props. When the evening drew to a close, the revelers waved their sparklers in the air as Grace and Kyle strolled away arm in arm.

One of the benefits of purchasing a wedding video package with two videographers is the pre-ceremony segment.  We arrive an hour and a half before the wedding to unload all of our equipment and set up what we need.  Then we have time to spend in the dressing rooms of both the bride and the groom.  We like to interview the bride and groom separately about how they met, what they love about each other and how they feel about their wedding day.  With these interviews we’re able to capture the people behind the wedding finery.

When we arrived at St. Ann’s masses were still in progress in the sanctuary while we set up in the chapel.  Thanks to our wheeled dolly we were able to go about our business quietly and did not interrupt the mass.

Another thing we do to get to the real bride and groom is put a wireless microphone on the groom.  This helps us capture the vows, but it also keeps us inside the conversation between the bride and groom throughout the celebration.  Many couples like to have these sentiments as part of the video for everyone to enjoy.  There are also a couple of ways for us to make these sentiments private to the bride and groom, according to their wishes.  Whether they share them with everyone or just between themselves, these endearments are often the most cherished part of a video.

Chelsea and Lance Rock the Hickory Creek Annex in Deep Ellum in Wedding Videos Dallas TX

A hand-painted wooden signboard, outside Hickory Street Annex, welcomed guests to Chelsea and Lance’s wedding.  Before the ceremony, a Knockout Beauty artist applied the finishing touches to the very pretty bride, while charming Lance and his groomsmen polished off some scotch and cigars.

In the Annex, a repurposed warehouse, white lights hung from the ceiling among large, round, paper lanterns.  Smaller lanterns, dangled from the ends of the aisles, echoing what was above.

After ushers seated the guests of honor, a tiny flower girl, very intent on placing her petals in just the right spots, promenaded down the aisle.  Then with a bouquet of roses from Haute Floral in one hand and her father’s sleeve in the other, Chelsea followed the flower girl to the groom’s side.

Branches of romantic twinkle lights and cascading sheers framed the couple as they exchanged vows.  Chelsea’s white satin dress glowed in the soft light, while fire from her dramatic chandelier earrings danced around her face.  As she left the ceremony on her new husband’s arm, her long ruffled train and flowing veil swept along behind her.

Once the formal ceremony was over, table settings in the reception area announced the fun had begun.  Burlap and twine covered bottles, on burlap table runners, held bouquets of white baby’s breath.  Upended wine corks displayed place cards.  Flickering votives shone on white linen.

As their first dance ended, Lance dipped his bride low to the ground and laid on a great big Texas-sized kiss. Then he playfully dove under Chelsea’s gown in search of the garter.  Guests hammed it up in the 4 Flashes Photo Booth with feather boas, hats and wild sunglasses, making keepsakes for the couple.

A beautiful beribboned cake of four tiers, from Kakes by Katy, was topped with a distinctive cursive initial.  As the couple shared the first slice, a scrumptious Grooms cake, a strawberry-topped cheesecake, peeked over the couple’s shoulder.  CN Catering provided sustenance with delicious food and beverages all evening long, while Le Force Entertainment kept the dance floor swinging.  Then as the long black limousine arrived, guests formed a tunnel of sparklers to bid them farewell.  Congratulations to Mirium Ahurnman Events for a spectacular production.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

Arriving an hour and a half before Chelsea and Lance’s ceremony, we set up our equipment to see and hear everything, while remaining virtually invisible to participants, officiants and guests.  Filming in this location required a piece of proprietary equipment we developed for special situations.  In order to record Chelsea’s sweet smile during the vows, the special camera, affixed atop an adjustable tripod, was set up behind the groomsmen.  The cameraman, wearing videoglasses, used a remote control device to direct the camera.   A small wireless microphone hidden on the groom caught special spoken memories.  We used other cameras to search out quiet moments, like a flower girl playing among empty chairs, stolen kisses and Hickory Annex’s lights glowing in the dark, to add texture to the more lively events.  The end result provides and experience more complete than any guest or participant could have enjoyed.

Michelle and Paul – Dallas World Aquarium hosts West End Wedding in Wedding Video Dallas TX

There was something decidedly fishy about Michelle and Paul’s wedding.  It took place in front of a huge tank of tropical specimens at the Dallas World Aquarium in West End.

The bride and groom were first introduced at a Yummilicious yogurt store by a pair of doctors they knew.  The prescription was right for the beginning of a delicious relationship.  Brian was smitten, so he pursued Michelle until, according to him, he “finally wore her down.”

The beautiful Michelle looked stunning on her wedding day.  Her strapless white satin gown featured a sweetheart bodice covered in crystals, which trailed along the low backline to the corset closing.  The bridesmaids wore short strapless dresses of deep burgundy.  The fall colors of the bridal party’s bouquets were echoed by elaborate floral displays for the ceremony.

The couples wrote their vows for one another, listing all the things they loved about one another.  Some of the items listed were pretty funny, but afterwards there wasn’t a dry eye among their guests.  After the ceremony the wedding party posed for a series of formal portraits.  With all the birds flying around the aquarium/zoo/conservatory the bride hoped drops of moisture hitting her skin came from the waterfall, not the wildlife.

At the reception the guests had plenty to keep them busy.  Dinner and dessert were served buffet style.  The dj kept the dance floor hopping all night long.  Nearby a photo booth offered an array of crazy props for hamming it up.  If a guest needed a break, they could just sit down and watch a slideshow of photos from the couple’s courtship.

If it’s true that the guests who catch the bouquet and garter are the next to get married, none of Michelle and Paul’s single friends will be getting married anytime soon.  The flower girl and ring-bearer who caught the bouquet and garter are a little young to start considering marriage.   At the end of the evening the bride and groom escaped through a swirl of bubbles.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions  

Lighting is tricky in an aquarium.  The ambient light is left low, so the light in the tanks can show off the fish.  Meanwhile, our cameras needed light to show off the bride and groom.  Our videocameras do have lights on them and we are able to adjust the lenses.  Also the glass tanks reflect light, causing another hazard for our videographers.  Despite the venue’s lighting, everything in the video is easy to see thanks to our constant setting and resetting on the fly.

Sounds are also important to a video and capturing them in the wide open spaces of the aquarium with its wildlife and waterfalls required our expertise.  One of the strategies we used to get clear sound on the video was employing a variety of audio feeds.  We needed to clearly capture every word that was spoken during the vows.  We also wanted to include the charming ambient sounds of the waterfalls and wildlife.  We just didn’t want the ambient sound to overpower the words.  By editing and mixing the audio in our studio, we created a perfect soundtrack to the video.

Since weddings are a one-shot opportunity without do-overs, LeniCam always brings back-ups for our equipment and back-ups for our back-ups.  As the dj was setting up, he discovered he’d left one of his microphones behind.  Because of our planned redundancy we were able to loan him one of our.

Morgan and Jordon at Frisco’s Westin Stonebriar in Wedding Videos Dallas 

You could tell it was going to be a fun day when you saw the bridal party hanging-out before the ceremony in their bright floral-patterned kimonos.  In another part of the Westin Stonebriar, the groom was grinning ear to ear as his mom pinned on his boutonniere.  Morgan and Jordon shared a joyous wedding day at the Westin Stonebriar in Frisco.

For her wedding the beautiful bride chose a stunning lace gown covered in crystals.  The Queen Anne neckline fell into a deep vee and the back opened into a keyhole. Finishing the look were dramatic crystal chandelier earrings and a camellia.

The ceremony took place in the Crystal Ballroom before an archway of colorful fall flowers – but that’s not where the bride intended it to be.  A last minute rain shower came along and moved the ceremony inside.

The autumn décor continued in the reception space.  Tall crystal vases were filled with a variety of fall motifs. Some contained stacked pumpkins, while others were filled with pine cones.  Still others were full of water with floating votives.  The tables were covered in fall foliage.

As they entered, guests were encouraged to tie on a wish bracelet.  Then they were invited to a delicious buffet with stations for pasta, mashed potatoes and prime rib.  The gorgeous wedding cake had a spider web drawn on one layer and the rest of the delicately iced layers looked as if they had been spun by the spider.

After the initial formalities, Morgan changed into a looser silver lame gown which allowed more freedom for fun. DJ Stan from the DJ Connection kept the dance floor rocking.  The energetic crowd donned glow-stick haloes and danced the night away.  At the end of the evening the couple escaped through a tunnel of waving sparklers.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions         

Morgan and Jordon were the stars of a very special wedding day.  At LeniCam, we believe that the center of attention belongs to the bride and groom, both on their day and in their video.  There are a number of technologies available for videos and we have chosen to use professional-grade HD videocameras.  These cameras give us great zoom capabilities, which allow us to capture scenes, both tight close-ups and wide coverage shots, without being in the middle of the action.  We’re able to be everywhere, recording everything and everyone, while staying on the outskirts of the room – virtually invisible to the guests and participants.  Our couples often wonder how we filmed scenes of their video when they don’t remember seeing us.

However, there’s not much we can do about the weather.  Everything was set for the outside ceremony, when the rain began to fall, dousing everyone and everything – including us and all our equipment.  We promised Morgan that no matter what happened – good or bad – on the wedding day, she was going to love her wedding video. And she did!  Rain or shine at your wedding – only shine on your video.

Billy and Carrie at McKinney’s Cotton Mill in Wedding Video Dallas

The first thing Billy learned about Carrie was her Top Five Fun Facts on E-Harmony.  The facts were hilarious and Billy is still enjoying Carrie’s sense of fun.  Billy and Carrie were married at The Cotton Mill in McKinney.

The name of the venue is no clever marketing ploy.  The edifice was built in the early 1900’s and was central to the Texas cotton industry.  Cotton was actively grown and processed in Collin County.  Over the years the mill buildings have been renovated several times and the old charm of early twentieth century industrialization has been preserved and enhanced.

Along with being fun, Carrie is a real beauty.  She looked stunning in her strapless satin A-line gown with a beaded sweetheart bodice and shirring, which emphasized her trim frame.  Even as she posed for pictures, you could tell this was a lady who liked to bring joy to everyone around her.

Carrie’s Mom escorted the bride down the aisle and gave her to Billy.  The ceremony included a sand-pouring ritual with both moms and ended with an enthusiastic kiss.  “Life is just better with her around,” Billy was heard to say.  Now she’ll always be around.

At the reception the couple cut their beautiful wedding cake which had pink roses cascading from top to bottom and they toasted one another with gorgeous crystal flutes.  It was easy to tell that they were eager to get the formalities behind them and head out on the dance floor.  The energy of the bride and groom was infectious and the dance floor stayed busy all night long.

Eventually the day was over and it was time for the bride and groom to escape.  Hand-in-hand they strolled triumphantly to the vintage car waiting to whisk them away.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

The first step in making Billy and Carrie’s video was to talk to the couple and learn what was important to them about each other and about their special day.  To us, that’s more important than the order of service.  We want our videos to be a touchstone throughout a marriage, not just the recording of a ritual.

We learned Billy and Carrie were a high energy couple interested in the joys of a life well-lived.  So we suggested our trailer style video which uses one song as the theme of a fast-paced video.  Carrie chose the song  and then we wove the action and sounds we recorded into the music.  In several places, like the sand pouring ceremony, we used special effects to emphasize the couple’s high energy.

Here’s what they had to say on The Knot website after they saw their video, “John is friendly and easy to work with. Not to mention, he is an amazing videographer and a great editor. He captured all of the great moments and edited them together to tell the story our wedding. When we saw our special day on Blu Ray we were blown away by the video and audio quality. We can’t thank him enough!”

Jenna and Casey’s Love Story

Jenna and Casey Shine at First Methodist Dallas and Canyon Creek Country Club in Wedding Video Dallas

LeniCam Love Story Video is an Important Part of the Celebration

From the bride’s radiant smile to the couple’s fiery sparkler send-off, Jenna and Casey enjoyed a dazzling wedding day.

The historic First United Methodist Church in Downtown Dallas provided an elegant venue for the couple’s ceremony.  A venerable old building with unique architectural touches, the church holds its own among the shiny new skyscrapers.

Throughout the day, the effervescent bride also held her own in a stunning, off- the- shoulder ivory satin, gown, heavily encrusted with lace, bedazzled with jewels and complimented by her bridesmaid’s chic black lace dresses.  Instead of a bouquet, she chose to carry an ivory fan decorated with white roses and a white lace bow.

Coming down the aisle with her father, the bride displayed her eagerness to marry her handsome groom.  His big grin, at his first sight of her, communicated his own zest for the nuptials.  Their resounding kisses at the end of the ceremony were followed by many more as the night progressed.

The wedding party traveled from the ceremony to an exuberant reception at Canyon Creek Country Club in a Citi Sedan Party Bus. Tiers of decorated cupcakes surrounded by bon bons and cake-pops were served to the guests, while Jenna and Casey shared a small cake iced with colorful swirls.

Because the couple frolicked through their day, giggling during their vows and spontaneously delivering and demanding kisses, it’s no surprise they offered a photo booth with crazy props to their guests  or chose a DJ who creatively recognized special members of the audience.

As the night drew to a close and the guests waved farewell with their sparklers, Jenna stopped to express her love for her family and friends, one more time.  With her fingers forming a heart, she made a slow turn, looking deeply into the eyes of her well-wishers.

Capturing details, like the bride’s ivory fan bouquet, her luminous be-jeweled gown, the unity candle ceremony and the couple’s boundless joy is our responsibility. The Photo Fun segment, in this Highlights Video, displays amusing moments caught between the still photographer’s formal poses.

This couple also hired us to do a Love Story Video to be shown during their celebrations.  These video are always enjoyed by the guests and then the couple has it to enjoy as a part of their wedding video.

We arrive early to set up special video equipment which sees and hears everything, while remaining virtually invisible to participants, officiants and guests.  We placed a remote camera, out of the line of sight, to capture the bride’s giggles during the vows. Then the cameraman used a balcony vantage point to record dramatic shots of the ceremony impossible for guests to imagine.  To capture special spoken memories we used a small wireless microphone hidden on the groom. As a result, we were everywhere, and caught everything, but quietly and unobtrusively.

We sweat the small stuff, so you don’t have to.
