Megan and Brad's Same Day Edit (SDE)

St. John's Gildehaus Catholic Church in Villa Ridge was the site of Megan and Brad's wedding last Saturday, July 19th. St. John's 'Gildehaus', as it is known locally, was founded in 1839 as a mission by the Jesuit Fathers. It received the 'Gildehaus' name to honor John Dietrich Gildehaus and his wife Anna Clara, who in 1848 donated the original property.

Although the day was very humid with lots of sunshine, Megan and Brad had a beautiful day surrounded by many, many friends and family. You could see they had a fun-filled time, as we captured some amazing footage to incorporate into their final edit.

Their surprise SDE from that evening has just a sampling of some of those great shots.

Finally, I want to add it was a pleasure working with Bibi, Vlatko, and Mary, (again), from Trotter Photo. They allowed us the extra time needed to capture those important shots for the SDE.

Jessica and Andrew's Wedding Trailer

The Piper Palm House, located at Tower Grove Park, in St. Louis, Missouri, was a location we have filmed at many times. If you have not been there, you wouldn't know that it was constructed in 1878 and is the oldest standing greenhouse west of the Mississippi River. It was built to house the park's beautiful, ornamental tropical plants. So you can imagine this time of year, that the Palm House would have colorful details to enhance the wedding day.

On Saturday, July 5th, we had the privilege of working there again and covering the wedding day of Jessica and Andrew. It was obvious that these two people were very much in love. They were both very bubbly and so excited that their special day had finally arrived. Jessica's twin sister, Jamie, the matron of honor, also assisted in making our pre-ceremony shooting go smoothly and was a pleasure to be around all morning.

We also had a fun day working with one of our favorite photographers in the St. Louis area, Bill, from Trotter Photography. Bill is a joy to work with and takes some fabulous pictures as well!

Here is their wedding day trailer.
