Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota is a parish founded in 1959, with its original building completed in 1960. Designed by architect Edward Sovik, the church has a striking modernist design with a circular sanctuary, soaring ceilings, and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Saint Thomas More. As Chicago filmmakers who travel for weddings, we got to film a ceremony here as part of a Twin Cities celebration.
A Wedding We’ve Filmed at Saint Thomas More
On August 21, 2021, Ellie and Matt exchanged vows at Saint Thomas More in front of 200 of their closest family and friends, part of a wedding day that also included a reception across the river at The Depot in Minneapolis.
After morning preparations at the Renaissance Depot’s Luce Line Room, the couple made their way to Saint Thomas More for a processional of bridal party, junior bridesmaids, and flower girls filling the landmark church, followed by the rings, the vows, and the first kiss as husband and wife. From there, the celebration moved back to Minneapolis for a reception at The Depot’s Great Northern Ballroom.

We’re based in Chicago but regularly travel for weddings across the Midwest, including St. Paul and the Twin Cities.
