Mary and Matthew – The Cooper Aerobics Center in Wedding Video Dallas TX

The bride was beautiful and the groom was handsome, but the father stole the show.  During the reception he sang the bride a lullaby – a Beatles song for which he wrote new lyrics.  Mary married Matthew along the creek at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas, with the blessing and love of her very special father.

Mary looked lovely in her ivory satin dress with sleek contemporary styling.  Devoid of distracting decorations, the full skirt fit onto a corset bodice with a sweetheart neckline.  Sheer illusion was attached to the bodice to form cap sleeves and continued down to her waist with satin covered buttons.  The stunning gown was made by Mary’s  mom.

Before he sang the lullaby with the live band, Jurassic Rock, the father told his guests when Mary was six years old she’d told him she wanted to get married in a field.  He made her childhood wish come true in a wedding day full of entertainments.  Under the reception marquee, guests were treated to a delicious buffet meal.  They could record memories of the wedding day in a photo booth complete with props or sit for a portrait by a caricaturist. Croquet and a bean bag toss were also available. Even the six year old Mary would have approved.

After their incredible day, Mary and Matthew strolled away hand in hand along the creek, with the lights of the evening reflecting into the water.  With one final wave they said good-bye to their guests and headed into their new life together.

Mary and Matthew’s wedding was spread out over several acres of the Cooper Aerobics Center.  Being everywhere and capturing all the sights and sounds while remaining invisible to the guests and participants in the outdoor setting required a lot of fancy footwork , technology and experience.  We wanted to capture all of Mary’s field of dreams.

When we came back to our studio and reviewed the video and audio we recorded that day, we knew we wanted Mary’s father’s song to be at the core of it.  We edited and mixed the footage, weaving the song in between all the special moments of the day.  Another editing trick we used was to insert the groom’s vows with Mary’s vows so that it seems they are repeating them to one another without the clergy’s prompting.

We tell our brides that no matter what happens on their wedding day, good and bad, they are going to love their wedding video.  Mary and Matthew’s wedding day was full of good things, giving us a lot of special moments to choose from when making their video and when we were done, they loved it.

Video Wedding Dallas Captures Jackie and Trey’s Poolside Wedding at Parents’ Home with Tent Reception 

“You look after my treasure,” Dad said as he handed Jackie over to Trey.  The love glowing from Trey’s eyes assured Jackie her groom also considered her a treasure.  Jackie and Trey were married poolside at her parent’s estate in Rockwall, Texas with Dallas Wedding Videography.

The lovely bride wore a lace-over-satin fit-and-flare gown with a V-Neck bodice, lace cap-sleeves and keyhole back.  Her unique headpiece, of feathers, beads and lace, was worn on the side of her coiffure.  She carried a large bouquet of peach and white roses.

The groom, in his tan suit and ostrich skin cowboy boots, waited in an open field for his bride to arrive for their First Look.  She slipped up behind him with her train over her arm as the groom explained all the reasons he loved her.

The wedding party approached the ceremony site across a bridge spanning the swimming pool.  The bridesmaids, carrying bouquets of mixed white flowers, wore peach-colored gowns in a variety of lengths and styles.   The flower girl was so tiny she had to be carried down the aisle.

As the bride and groom shared vows they’d written for one another, emotion overtook the bride and only a quick unauthorized kiss saved her from breaking into tears.  The recessional back across the bridge was a happy parade.  Then a golf cart carried the couple from poolside, across a field, to the reception’s large white party tent.

Inside the tent, the photographer gathered all the guests, who were dressed in white, for a group picture taken from atop a ladder.  The delicious buffet gave a nod to both Johannesburg and Baton Rouge, cities important to the bride and groom and many of the guests.  The Jambalaya was prepared by the groom and a favorite guitarist had been flown in from Atlanta.

At Jackie and Trey’s wedding, LeniCam wore more than one hat.  We helped the bride with her audio needs, along with our videography services.  We were able to do that, because over the many years we’ve been in business, we’ve accumulated a large inventory of equipment, in order to facilitate the wide variety of events we cover.

Though many venues and vendors provide their own audio equipment, Jackie’s parents’ home wasn’t wired for sound.  By providing speakers and a sound mixer, in addition to the microphones and cameras we usually take to weddings, we were able to save Jackie and Trey money; because the add-on fee was much less expensive than contracting with a separate service provider.

There was an added bonus for Jackie and Trey beyond the cost savings.  Because we controlled the audio output at the wedding and reception, we were able to produce a video with better sound.
