Filming Weddings at St. Joseph Catholic Church

The church’s stained glass and soaring ceilings give us sweeping wide shots of the altar alongside intimate close-ups during the vows, and we’re comfortable covering a full Mass ceremony with a large wedding party, as we did for Alex and Paul’s 26-person bridal party. The church pairs naturally with a downtown reception venue a short drive away.
