Rose + Joe | Wedding Day

Rose & Joe had a wonderful wedding day at the Saint Paul’s Union Depot in St Paul Minnesota on 8/9/2014.

Rose and Joe’s wedding day was the perfect blend of elegance, warmth, and timeless romance. Held on August 9, 2014, at the historic Union Depot in St. Paul, Minnesota, their celebration was a reflection of their personalities—gracious, vibrant, and deeply rooted in love. As filmmakers, we were honored to capture this incredible couple’s big day and turn it into a cinematic memory they can cherish forever.

From the very first moment, it was clear that this day was going to be special. Rose looked absolutely radiant as she got ready in the morning, surrounded by her closest friends and family. Her smile lit up every room she entered, and there was an air of anticipation that made even the quietest moments feel magical. Dressed in a stunning gown that blended classic elegance with modern sophistication, Rose was the definition of bridal grace.

Joe, equally composed and beaming with pride, prepared for the day with his groomsmen nearby. His excitement was infectious—he couldn’t wait to see his bride. The moment he read her note before the ceremony, his eyes said everything. You could feel the depth of their connection, even in those few quiet seconds.

The Union Depot offered the perfect venue for this unforgettable day. With its grand architecture, high ceilings, and beautifully restored historical charm, it served as a breathtaking backdrop for both the ceremony and the reception. There’s something undeniably romantic about the timelessness of a train station—it’s a place of beginnings, of journeys, and on this day, it marked the start of Rose and Joe’s greatest journey yet.

The ceremony itself was heartfelt and full of emotion. As Rose walked down the aisle, all eyes were on her—and especially Joe’s. Their vows were deeply personal and meaningful, drawing laughter and tears from guests in equal measure. One of our favorite moments was the look they exchanged just before their first kiss as husband and wife—an unspoken promise of forever, captured in a single glance.

After the ceremony, we spent some time capturing the couple around the Union Depot grounds. From sunlit walkways to the elegant train platforms, every frame told a story of their love. The way they interacted—with gentle touches, shared laughs, and long gazes—was effortlessly natural and full of affection.

The reception that followed was lively and heartfelt, filled with incredible speeches, delicious food, and non-stop dancing. The toasts from family and friends were packed with memories, gratitude, and well-wishes for a future full of love and adventure. One speech in particular stood out—Joe’s best man recalling the moment he realized Joe had truly found “the one” in Rose.

Their first dance was beautifully choreographed and filled with sincerity, and as the evening went on, the dance floor came alive with celebration. It was a room full of joy, and our cameras worked to capture it all—the hugs, the happy tears, the spontaneous laughter, and those fleeting moments that pass too quickly on such an important day.

What made this wedding even more remarkable was how grounded and genuine Rose and Joe remained throughout it all. Despite the grandeur of the venue and the excitement of the day, what shone the brightest was their love for each other and the people around them.

It was a privilege to create a wedding film that tells their story, one that reflects not just the beauty of the event but the heart behind it.
