Digital Media & Branding

October 1st was a great day to get married. We shot a Korean/Christian wedding and it was a blast. This was our first wedding that an actual catastrophe occurred! No worries, it wasn’t on our end….but somehow the bouquets went missing! Not just the bride’s, but all of the bride’s maid’s bouquets too! While many brides would have lost their cool, turned a bright angry red color, and strangled anyone within a 20ft radius, Hye Young handled it like a pro! She never lost her smile and even though the ceremony started almost an hour late, it was still a beautiful wedding.

The big day was held at Global Harvest Church ( A New Song Church) in Plano, TX and the pastor translated his English to Korean. This obviously made the ceremony twice as long but 3 times as meaningful. It’s easy for us American’s to forget the beauty of another language and the rich culture that can be attached to it. We saw a few Korean traditions that we were not aware of before this day and we left with a sense of enrichment. We were also reminded that the things we see in our traditional weddings here in the states have deep meaning behind them each of them and it would be a terrible thing to forget that. The reception was held at III Forks in Dallas, TX and that’s where many of the traditions took place. All in all this wedding reminded us of the beauty behind tradition, family, and culture. Thank you to this wonderful family and we at Memories Films wish you guys a life filled with laughter and love!

September 25th was a busy busy day for Memories Films! Xavier and Tiffany’s wedding started at 10 am and we arrived at the groom’s house by 7am and it was a rainy Saturday morning. Even though it was rainy and early the groom and his guys greeted us and we quickly got to work. One of our videographers stood out in the rain while protecting the camera just to get that great shot of the car in the garage. That sort of shot would have been too intimidating for some videographers…but he is fearless and it shows in his work! We’re lucky to have him… Thanks Jorge!!

We were also lucky enough to have the ceremony at a familiar chapel called The Marty Leonard Chapel in Ft. Worth. We were concerned because the clouds and rain were really taking away our light, and that chapel is made of mostly windows. It turned out to be some really nice footage despite the lack of direct sunlight.

You may expect a family like the Carter’s, who’s most well known legacy is in regards to starting the Dallas Maverick’s Basketball Franchise, to be unapproachable. Nothing could be further from the truth. We were honored to be chosen among the Dallas/Ft. Worth Videographers to capture the wedding of the franchise founder’s grandson. Each person in this family as well as the Bride’s family were all great to work with and incredibly nice! I don’t think I ever saw Natasha, the bride, without a smile on her face and Lee, her Groom, was full of nervous energy as he tried to contain his excitement.

We shot this wedding at Dallas Baptist University where their family have been alma-maters for several generations. This location was beautiful! Their chapel is less than a year old and all the natural light flooded into the rooms to make for some breathtaking shots.

We decided to showcase the exit sequence to show a little different side of our wedding videos. It’s not a traditional warm fuzzy feeling as the music of Cat Power serenades the romantic night sky with beautifully contrasting bokeh in the background. As the editor, I was hoping to bring a little more weight to the romance that many videos lose with using overtly “happy” music. I wanted to bring attention to the deep intimacy that marriage represents and I thought that this dramatic sequence would help do that. I would love to know what you think about it!

It was a warm Ft. Worth Morning as the crew and I pulled up to the labyrinth of streets that surround the Ft. Worth Club in downtown Ft. Worth. What a beautiful interior and a welcoming staff! They really know how to take care of their vendors at this venue. We were served gourmet sandwiches and some of the best cookies I think I have ever had…just don’t tell my mother I said that!
