Mary and Scott – Outdoor Ceremony at the Worthington Renaissance in Ft. Worth

Wedding Videographers Dallas TX Produces Ft. Worth Wedding Video

“I’m so excited this day has finally come,” Mary said, “I’m so proud and honored to become a Casler and to be married to the best man in the world.” Mary and Scott were married in an outdoor ceremony at the Worthington Renaissance in Fort Worth.

The beautiful bride chose a unique, trumpet-styled strapless gown of rusched tulle, with a sweetheart neckline and sequined belt. After hugging her torso, the dress flared out dramatically in an asymmetrical cloud of tulle ruffles. Her bridesmaids wore long soft dresses of chiffon. The rusched empire bodice was white with a red skirt.

For the ceremony, the hotel’s red-brick terrace was transformed into an open air chapel, with red lace luminaries lining the aisle and flowing white drapes surrounding the stage. Mary’s dad escorted her out of the hotel and down the aisle where he presented her to Scott. Both the bride and groom had tears in their eyes during their vows. Their joy was apparent when the officiant declared them man and wife.

The reception was held inside the Worthington. After the solo dances, Mary and Scott cut their gorgeous cake. The tiers alternated between white and red and were decorated with large red blooms. As the couple fed one another the first bites, Mary tricked Scott into getting a face full of icing. The groom’s cake was devoted to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Mary and Scott were giddy with joy as they checked out their photo booth and participated in wedding traditions like tossing the bouquet and garter. At the end of the evening, the couple paused to thank everyone for coming and to let grandma and grandpa know that Scott did show up for the wedding.

Mary and Scott were so concerned about staying within their wedding budget that they only contracted with us for one camera and only at the ceremony. We understand budgets and we work hard to produce high quality cinemagraphic videos whatever the financial constraints might be. Even with just one videographer, we knew our experience in filming and editing would allow us to create a beautiful video of the ceremony which would look as if it were recorded from a variety of vantage points.

Still, as Mary’s wedding day approached, she realized that she really wanted to have video of her reception also. After discussing the logistics of her wedding day and her budget we were able to put together a unique package just for her that included filming a portion of the reception. Mary optimized the reception schedule so we could film the events most important to her. The final video was a win-win situation for all of us.

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.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

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.

Fall Wedding at Park Cities Baptist Church

Lauren and Alex – Ellis Chapel at Park Cities Baptist Church and the Doubletree Inn in Wedding Videos Dallas TX

Their first date was at Mattito’s in Uptown and by their third date they realized something serious was going on.  Recently, for old time’s sake, they made a repeat visit.  Next time they go they’ll be man and wife, because Lauren and Alex were married at Ellis Chapel of Park Cities Baptist Church.

The pretty, strawberry-blond Lauren wore a white satin halter gown covered in ornate crystal-enhanced lace.  The back of the gown was festooned with a large slipknot bow.   Her “something old” was a beautiful diamond solitaire necklace which had been her grandmothers.  Her scallop-edged tulle veil was trimmed with crystals.  In her hands she carried a bouquet of white roses.

Ellis Chapel provided an elegant back drop for the fall wedding.  The pews were decorated with nosegays of roses with a trailing burgundy ribbon.  Brass candlesticks and a large arrangement of flowers graced the stage.  A pipe organ and live trumpet played as Lauren went down the aisle on her father’s arm.  Adding color to the scene were the bridesmaids in their short red dresses.  The ceremony included scripture readings and the lighting of a unity candle.

The reception was held nearby in the Doubletree Inn.  Lauren freshened her look by replacing her veil with a crystal-embellished ribbon in her hair.  After they were announced Alex took his dazzling bride into his arms and guided her around the dance floor like a pro.  It was easy to see they were both glad to be married.  Alex became playful as they cut their cake and Lauren ended up with icing all over her chin.  From the elaborately decorated wedding cake with roses trailing down the side, the couple turned to the chocolate groom’s cake embellished with the Texas Ranger’s team logo.

There’s more to a wedding day than a ceremony and a reception.  Sometimes it’s those in-between times that are the most fun or photogenic.  That’s why we get to a wedding and hour and a half before it starts and keep the cameras rolling until the bride and groom drive away.

We target an early arrival, because to avoid getting held up by traffic or missed exits.  We also have a lot of equipment to unload and set up.  As soon as that’s all done, our videographer’s become roving reporters, checking into the bride’s dressing room and visiting with the groom to get the background story.

Lauren’s dad told us about the grandmother’s necklace and Alex revealed the story of their first and last date at Mattito’s.  Those kinds of details make the video much more interesting to watch.  It also gives us an opportunity to double check all the details and make sure that everyone who needs one has a microphone.  We put a lavalier microphone on the groom to clearly record the vows and then ask him to keep it on, so we can capture sentiments expressed throughout the evening.

Of course, the wedding ceremony is the main event.  We set up one camera near the front of the chapel to get the bride as she walked down the aisle and then close-ups of her during the vows.  It’s a remote control camera, so the videographer is able to look through a monitor and control the camera. without being up in the front where he’d be distracting.  Another cameraman set up at the back of the church to capture the shots of more complete view of the front of the chapel.

One videographer stayed with the couple while they had formal photography made in front of the beautiful church, while another one set up for the reception.  By the time the bride and groom were announced, both videocameras were ready to capture the fun.

Our goal was to be everywhere all the time, recording everything.  Still we want to be invisible to the guests and participants.  That’s why we developed our custom remote camera and use professional grade HD videocameras that let us get great quality shots without having to be in the middle of everything, like videographers using DSLR.

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.

Amara and Kenny at St. Peter and St. Paul Anglican Church & Arlington Hilton in dallas Wedding Videos

The quaint stone church of St. Peter and St. Paul Anglican sat quietly in its wooded setting until Kenny and his groomsmen climbed out of a long Hummer limousine.  “Yes! Let’s do it!” Kenny announced eagerly.  His lovely bride was nearby in her fit-and-flare gown of tulle and satin, with wide lace straps and a sweetheart neckline.  Her jewelry sparkled with crystals and she carried a bouquet of purple and white flowers.

Kenny and Amara’s day was filled with Nigerian traditions, beginning with the bright geles and filos (headdresses) bubas (tops), iro (skirts) and kabas (caftans) worn by the guests.  Each family was represented by a different hue, creating a rainbow of color.

After coming down the aisle, Amara kept her veil over her face and modestly averted her eyes from her groom.  When the minister declared them man and wife, the veil was lifted and the couple shared an enthusiastic embrace. Then the couple sat on a pew as the men of the congregation danced around them, putting monetary gifts into a large brass pot. Afterwards the couple returned to the altar for communion.

Formalities over, the wedding party noisily posed for photographer Edward Ramairez and then headed to the Hilton.  Amara and Kenny danced into the reception with wide smiles.  The smiles remained as they serenaded one other during their First Dance.

The wedding cake, a tower of square layers, was decorated with flourishes of green icing and flowers of purple.  The groom’s cake showed homage to Kenny’s love of soccer.  The couple’s single friends were eager to join the ranks of married couples and battled for the bouquet and garter when they were tossed.

Soon the dance floor was full of guests in their rainbow of cultural clothing vying for the opportunity to shower the newly married couple with paper money.  The festivities continued long into the night with great joy and vigor.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

Amara and Kenny’s wedding, with its sea of colorful headdresses and charming Nigerian traditions, was fun to capture. Our microphones were planted in a variety of locations and our videographer scrambled to be everywhere, all day long, so every detail could be preserved.

One of our favorite moments of the day was the First Dance, when Amara and Kenny, with no regard for pitch or melody, belted out their song to one another.  Tender moments like that are our reward for putting a lapel mic the groom before the ceremony and leaving it there until the end of the evening.

When the wedding day was over, we returned to our studio with all the audio and video recordings.  Over the next few weeks, we edited and mixed the bits and pieces, until we created a video which would help Amara and Kenny keep their wedding memories fresh throughout all the days of their marriage.

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.

Cindy and Nop at Buddhist Center of Dallas and Crescent Hotel in Videography Wedding Dallas TX

The Buddhist Center of Dallas is a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Metroplex.  Gardens, ponds, waterfalls, fountains and statuary create a peaceful haven for worship and meditation.  Visitors are greeted by a golden statue of Buddha set between a pair of large stone elephants.  On the day of Cindy and Nop’s ceremony the tusks of the elephants were draped in colorful floral offerings.

The beautiful bride wore a lovely long-sleeved lace cheongsam in a rich golden color.  Around her neck was an elaborate gold necklace with large stones, sometimes called a khau.  The groom chose a white Khmer jacket for the ceremony.  The couple enjoyed welcoming their guests to the serene garden.

Before entering the temple, everyone took off their shoes.  Even the bride removed the pretty high-heeled pumps which matched her dress.  Inside the temple, every surface was decorated with beautiful paintings and carvings of Buddhist traditions.  Cindy and Nop approached an altar and prayed for a blessing of their union.

Unlike Western traditions, Buddhist priests do not actually marry the couple.  Instead they bless the union which the couple has formed privately.  At Cindy and Nop’s ceremony there were nine monks chanting and praying for the union’s blessing. Cindy and Nop thanked the priests with large offerings of food in gorgeous metal bowls.  After the religious ritual there was a live performance of traditional music with authentic antique Cambodian instruments.

Later a reception to celebrate the union was held at the Crescent Hotel.  The radiant Cindy changed into a gorgeous white brocade gown with a scoop neckline, cap sleeves and a large decorative bow.  Nop changed into a handsome white military uniform.  The couple created an impressive image together.

The tall wedding cake on a silver cake stand had pink roses and white hydrangeas between the layers.  Surrounding tables were also decorated with elegant displays of roses and hydrangeas.  Other tables were graced by three tall crystal candle sticks with crystal beaded votives.  A live band entertained the party and a delicious plated dinner was served.

With the hundreds and hundreds of weddings we’ve recorded we’ve learned language, custom and tradition are windows, not barriers. An exhaustive list of all the types of ceremonies we’ve captured would be a long list indeed.  Yet regardless of the ethnicity, race or religion, when we deliver the finished videos to our couples, the result is always the same – they love it.  That’s why Cindy and Nop chose us to capture their special day.

Cindy saw our huge library of videos and appreciated the way handled diverse circumstances.  She liked that we discussed her event with her to develop our plan for her day, rather than trying to squeeze her day into our template.  We loved the beauty and serenity of her ceremony’s venue and we always love filming a beautiful bride.

On the special day we arrived early to set-up our cameras and capture pre-ceremony events.  Throughout the day we were everywhere, recording everything, while doing our best to be invisible.  When the event was over, we took the audio and video recordings back to our studio and pored over them to edit and mix a unique video of their ceremony and celebration.

When Cindy hired us to videograph her wedding, she thought she’d be satisfied with the more economical DVD, but when she saw how good the DVD was she was so excited by it that she upgraded to BluRay.

In a splendid wedding showcase, merging Hispanic and Nigerian wedding traditions, the radiantly beautiful Jennifer married the happy and handsome Casanova in a Catholic ceremony celebrated at the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Downtown Dallas.

When the glowing Jennifer stepped out of a Hummer stretch limousine and onto the church’s steps, bright sunshine filled the streets of Dallas, igniting her white satin gown and bouquet of white roses. A gentle breeze teased at the edges of her cathedral-length veil.  A short-sleeved lace bolero complemented the strapless, empire bodice of beaded and sequined lace.  The rusched satin of the skirt was pulled up to her hip on one side by a bouquet of satin roses, revealing a beaded and sequined lace skirt underneath.  The train of her gown exploded into puffy ruffles below the corset closing.  Waiting at the altar was an eager bridegroom looking spectacular in his black tuxedo.  The beauty of the united couple was matched by the magnificent accoutrements of the historically-significant cathedral.

The bright colors of Nigerian bubas (tops), iro (skirts) and elaborate geles (headdresses) were sprinkled among the sea of guests, as were garments and accessories of deep sapphire blue, marking Jennifer’s family and attendants.

The love the couple felt for one another was easy to see as they vowed their lives to one another.  When the priest prompted Casanova with, “I will love you and honor you all the days of my life,” Casanova firmly added an “always” before “love”.  After the ceremony, the wedding party stopped on the portico of the cathedral for formal photography and there were so many attendants, they filled the stairway.

Jennifer and Casanova held their reception at the lovely Marriot Quorum where guests were greeted by a mariachi band.  The bride and groom were led to a stage, where they sat on thrones while being showered with blessings and prayers, some in the Nigerian native tongue.

Gorgeous floral displays adorned the tables and at each place setting guests found a gold favor box and a water bottle with the couple’s picture.  Each place setting also had a champagne flute and a shot glass, making guests aware that they could expect to have a good time at this party.  The guests showed their appreciation by showering the couple with money throughout the evening, going far beyond the boundaries of a money dance.

The couple stood next to the huge multi-tiered wedding cake, which was covered in silver flowers with white icing foliage, for the cake cutting ceremony.  Afterwards Casanova dipped Jennifer for a dramatic kiss.  Crystal monogrammed flutes waited for their toast.

After sharing a few more moments like the First Dance and the Bouquet and Garter Tosses, it was time for a wardrobe change.  Casanova appeared in a sapphire buba with intricate silver and gold embroidery in an emblem on his breast.  Jennifer wore a sapphire kaba (single-pieced dress) with a shawl and crown of kola nuts.  By appearing in these cultural clothes on their wedding day, they established their own colors for the new family they were beginning. Even Jennifer’s parents embraced the Nigerian tradition, wearing matching Nigerian cultural clothes in their own colors. Eventually the time came for Casanova and Jennifer to say good-bye and start their life together.

What a special day we had with Jennifer and Casanova and their unique celebration.  We were excited about capturing everything from the glowing bride on the cathedral steps to the beautiful panorama of Nigerian cultural clothes.  The trick is to be everywhere all the time, recording the sights and sounds of the day, while remaining invisible to the guests and participants.

Experience allows us to move quickly from the bright sunlight as the bride arrives, to the dimmed interior of the cathedral, all the while making adjustments on the fly to the lights and cameras.  Inside, we know where to stand between the huge columns, to record the bride as she walked down the aisle with her father, because we’ve done many weddings at this venerable old cathedral.  Experience has taught us to put a wireless mic on the groom, so that we can capture important phrases like Jennifer’s exclamation of “My husband,” as their car headed to the reception.

At the end of the day, we take all our footage and recordings back to the studio where they can be woven into a cinematic memory Jennifer and Casanova can enjoy in the years to come.

Here’s what  Jennifer had to say about us on The Knot: “Best Way to Remember the Day – by far one of the best investments we made to capture all our memories on our wedding day! LeniCam Video Productions is BEST OF THE BEST in my opinion and I will use them again for other special events. My husband and I ordered extra DVD’s and gave them as Thank You Gifts to family and friends: all of them couldn’t stop talking about the quality! I would recommend to any bride or to those who want to get the Bride/Groom a special gift! Worth every penny!!!!!”

Videographer Wedding Dallas TX captures Carla and Alessio at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and Hilton Anatole with 

Imagine a girl from Dallas going to school in Italy for four months and meeting a handsome Italian who follows her home.  It’s the stuff of dreams and chick flicks, and sometimes it actually happens.  Carla and Alessio married at the beautiful St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in East Dallas – and talk about a marriage made in heaven, the wedding even had a special blessing from the pope.

Carla looked like a dream on her wedding day in her strapless white ball gown covered with lace and crystals.  For the ceremony she wore a lace bolero and cathedral length veil.  Her bridesmaids wore short strapless satin dresses of deep purple and they too had boleros for the ceremony.  Alessio gave a happy nod with a broad grin when Carla stepped into the sanctuary.

Many of Alessio’s friends and relatives came to Dallas from Italy for the service, so in tribute to them, the ceremony was in Italian as well as English.  The Old Testament reading was in Italian and the New Testament in English.  Alessio made his vows in Italian and Carla made hers in English.  Whatever the language, amore’ was in the air.

The reception was held across town in the luxurious Hilton Anatole.  The fun began with an elaborate figured promenade, a long-held tradition of Carla’s family.  Before the night was over everyone was on the floor line-dancing – another sort of promenade.  The delicious buffet featured a carving table with steaming roast beef.  The bride’s cake was a lacy confection of white adorned with purple flowers.  When it was time to leave, all Carla and Alessio had to do was go up the elevator to their room.

Behind the Scenes with LeniCam Video Productions

A wedding video from LeniCam is more than a montage of photographic moments.  Of course the highlights of the ceremony, like the entrance of the bride and vows, are part of the video, but the small moments are there also.  LeniCam’s videographers arrive an hour and a half before the ceremony to set up and to capture the excitement of both the bride and the groom.  If they film the reception, they are there from the couple’s entrance to their farewell.

Because LeniCam was there before the wedding to hear Alessio say, “She stays with me, even when I start to be crazy,” Carla will always be able to hear him say it, too.  In turn, Alessio can watch his bride, stopping to help her bridesmaids with their finishing touches, before she puts on her own dress.  Because LeniCam was there until the end, the couple can always share that kiss as the elevator closes.
