St. Patrick’s Cathedral Wedding Video & University Club of New York Reception
Chloe and Kieran’s wedding day was a classic New York City celebration, rooted in tradition, elegance, and timeless style. From their ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral to an evening reception at the University Club of New York, this day offered so many opportunities for a refined, cinematic wedding film that truly reflects the grandeur of the city.
Their music selections leaned into vintage romance and upbeat classics, setting the tone for a wedding video that feels joyful, warm, and enduring, exactly the kind of soundtrack that pairs beautifully with a black-tie New York wedding.
Getting Ready in the Heart of Manhattan
The day began with Kieran getting ready at the St. Regis New York, surrounded by his groomsmen in one of the city’s most iconic hotels. These early moments are always important for video, capturing anticipation, quiet nerves, and the natural interactions that happen before the day fully unfolds.
Just a short walk away, Chloe prepared at the University Club of New York, an elegant and historic setting that provided a calm, intimate atmosphere before the ceremony. The combination of these two locations allowed us to document both sides of the morning without rushing, while still keeping everything centered around Midtown Manhattan.
A Timeless Ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral
Few locations compare to the significance and scale of a wedding ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Filming inside this landmark requires experience and careful planning, from understanding the church’s guidelines to positioning cameras in a way that respects the space while still capturing the ceremony beautifully.
Chloe and Kieran’s ceremony was filled with meaningful readings, music, and emotion, all framed by the cathedral’s soaring architecture. The result is a ceremony film that feels reverent, cinematic, and unmistakably New York.
Following the ceremony, guests gathered outside for a celebratory exit, one of those moments that always translates especially well on video, full of movement, energy, and genuine reactions.
Central Park Portraits & Family Moments
After leaving the cathedral, the wedding party and family made their way to Central Park for portraits and video coverage. Central Park offers a timeless contrast to the city streets, greenery, stone pathways, and classic New York backdrops that work beautifully in wedding films.
From there, the focus shifted to family portraits at the University Club. While these moments are often photographed, video captures something different, subtle interactions, laughter between groupings, and the natural way families connect during these quieter parts of the day.
An Elegant Reception at the University Club of New York
The reception at the University Club of New York was refined and celebratory, with cocktails followed by a formal dinner and dancing. This venue’s interiors lend themselves perfectly to wedding video, rich textures, architectural details, and warm lighting that elevate every frame.
As the evening unfolded, we focused on documenting speeches, reactions, and the energy of the room, allowing the wedding film to reflect not just what the day looked like, but how it felt to be there.
The night concluded with a private cake cutting before the celebration continued on the dance floor, a perfect way to close out a full New York City wedding day.
A Classic New York Wedding Film
Chloe and Kieran’s wedding is a great example of how thoughtful planning, iconic venues, and experienced videography come together to create a wedding film that feels timeless rather than trendy. From St. Patrick’s Cathedral to Central Park and the University Club of New York, every part of the day contributed to a cohesive, elegant story.
For couples planning a Manhattan wedding, especially those considering a cathedral ceremony and a private club reception, this day shows how seamlessly everything can flow with the right team and timeline in place.
