Wedding Videos for Dallas TX with Leah and Andrew

A Restaurant Wedding and Reception with a Live Band

Andrew and Leah tied the knot in an American-styled wedding at Marie Gabrielle Restaurant.  Near the Dallas Arts District, this restaurant provided a beautiful garden setting.  The reception followed with entertainment from The Projects Band.

The weather was unseasonably warm and humid. So large misters were brought in to cool the guests. The misters, however, produced a fog like appearance in the video, particularly from the rear camera. During the editing process, we used special techniques to eliminate the fog.  The result was crystal clear close-ups of the entire ceremony.

An American Wedding Video for a Family in China

In this wedding video Dallas TX, David and Xiaomin got married at University Park United Methodist Church. David and Xiaomin had many American and many Chinese friends at their wedding. Their parents were in China. The American reception followed at Kirin Court in Richardson, Texas followed their ceremony.  The wedding video was extra important to them because two weeks after wedding, they went to a second reception in their home town in China.

We expedited the ceremony portion of the video in time for them to take it to the Chinese reception. Their family back home was in awe of how good the color and sound was, just like a Hollywood wedding. The wedding was in Chinese with an English translator. We had two sets of microphones to be able to record both the Chinese and the English comments.

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.

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.

Angela and Richard

 Angela and Richard at Avanti Fountain Place in Downtown Dallas Captured in Video Wedding Dallas TX

“This is Your Last Chance to Run,” read the banner carried by two small tuxedo-clad groomsmen.  They were followed a young flower girl carrying a banner declaring, “Here Comes the Bride.”  Richard showed no sign of running as the graceful Angela was escorted to his side.  Angela and Richard married on a blustery September afternoon among the trees and fountains of Avanti Fountain Place in Downtown Dallas. 

Standing before the dramatic cascading fountains Angela and Richard pledged their love to one another and then Richard went on to make further promises to Angela’s son.  The scene was both beautiful and touching.  Once the ceremony was over and the pictures were taken, everyone moved inside the Avanti Restaurant.

For her special day, the bride wore a strapless white satin gown with a sweetheart neckline and shirred styling, accented with sparkling crystal jewelry.  Peeking from beneath her gown were spectacular purple shoes which matched the bridesmaids’ gowns.  Purple flowers in the bouquets and floral displays pulled together the wedding’s chic styling.

Angela’s eye for detail could even be seen in the reception, like in her stunning multi-tiered wedding cake covered in intricate floral designs set off with tiny rows of crystals and groom’s cake shaped like a fire truck.  From  humorous banners at the beginning of the ceremony to fake mustaches donned by the bride and groom for their exit, this was a fun-filled wedding day.

At Angela and Richard’s ceremony, as lovely as the trees of Avanti Fountain Place were, their trunks seemed to block every camera angle without providing cover for our cameraperson.  Still, we managed to stay out of the guests’ line of sight while we recorded the ceremony.  Then back at our studio, we carefully edited out the distracting tree trunks.

We were also able to enhance the sound track of the video.  At the ceremony we placed special noise-reducing, wireless microphones on the minister, the groom and the trio of string musicians.  In the studio we wove these feeds into the video portions and used the music from the trio as a background for the whole day.  The finished product offers an experience more complete than anyone in the audience was able to enjoy on the day of the wedding.
