Dallas boasts a number of gorgeous and highly picturesque venues for wedding and engagement ceremonies. Though which of these is the best is certainly a matter of personal preference and opinion, one we feel really stands out is the old Filter Building by White Rock road.
What’s This About?
We’re going to focus on the reasons why wedding photographers in Dallas find this location particularly favorable. We’ll also skim over the reasons why couples planning to get hitched go for this venue.
A Little Bit Of History
The Filter building built almost a hundred years ago was originally exactly what the name implies— A water filtration facility.
In fact, this was one of the first of its kind, built back when White Rock Lake was an important water source. The facility was closed in 1963 and was not used until decades later. Among other things, this historical building was restored as use as a venue for special occasions and rightly so!
Why Though?
What makes the filter building such a brilliant location for hosts, guests and professional wedding or ceremonial photographers alike? Here are a few reasons:
Lighting and Backdrop
Regardless of whether photos taken are indoors or outdoors, the lighting and backdrops of this venue are simply stunning. You have the shimmering reflection of the White Rock Lake, the old timey backdrop of the red brick building from the outside and numerous groves where light filers through the leaves! Indoors, multiple large windows ensure the space is nicely illuminated!
It’s Not Going Anywhere
The Filter building has been around for a while. The degree of comfort the venue offers for photographers means more opportunities to get creative. For those getting married, the place will likely still be standing long after you have kids.
Old Architecture
Besides the building’s historical significance from a cultural standpoint, the architecture is simply gorgeous. We’re talking expansive halls, high ceilings and beautiful exposed old red bricks. Further, the original iron beams supporting the ceiling from the original structure have been restored and are also in place. The unique features of this venue make it not just brilliant for events but also to photograph!
Let’s Step Outside a Bit
We did mention that the Filter Building is located along the banks of the gorgeous White Rock Lake. There are large grassy lawns where pavilions can be placed surrounded by seating for your guests along the banks of the river. The groves that turn orange according to season are brilliant for bridals as well as photographing newlyweds together.
