Hali + Jesse | wedding film

Hali is and always will be Jesse’s Girl (had to) but also let’s talk about how lucky Jesse is to be Hali’s guy!!! Somebody write a song about *that* please!! What a power couple. Their day was elegant and intimate and so much FUN. Something about Hali’s energy and joy while putting on her dress and jewelry had me and Sophie Axie Mae talking about the Elizabeth James bridal shop scene from Parent Trap (IYKYK), all smiles and shutters flying. And the day just kept going up from there, with such great people there to celebrate them and an amazing vendor team to boot; we left feeling so inspired. Watch till the end for a cameo from their cats!!

Nataly + Ryan | wedding film

This is your sign to have an easygoing wedding day with as few obligations as possible. Now, I know, every wedding timeline is going to be lengthy and have notes and details (so important!), but it’s *your* big day and you can shape it how you want! Don’t want to have an official bridal party? You don’t have to! And your close friends can still be there for every moment you want them to be. Nataly and Ryan’s wedding day was such a JOY and they had so much downtime to truly enjoy it—in the morning, Nataly even had time to help one of her sweet flower girls with her makeup. And after their ceremony, following a couple of locations for the most gorgeous photos/footage, the ✨brand new✨ Mr. and Mrs. Ward got to sit in a quiet hotel room and read their handwritten vows to each other. For the record, I would have loved this day just as much even if it had felt hurried (as most wedding days do), but it was wonderful to see how much time these two had to do exactly what they wanted. So, so honored I got to capture it all for them!!

Michaela + Lucas | wedding film

It could not have been more obvious how much Michaela and Lucas are crazy for each other—in both of their separate letters, they each referenced feeling like the "luckiest in the world." And Lucas' retelling of how they met at the lake?! Might as well be from a rom com. Michaela's the absolute life of the party and clearly happiest when she and Lucas are joking around together (skip to 2:13 for their mid-ceremony conversation about sweat 😅). Their senses of humor are unmatched and had everyone cracking up with them. Wish I could go back and relive this day! vendors — Videography: Sydney Radetic Films Photography: S.

Kelsee and Dave are the most warm and wonderful humans and the type of couple you'd want to go on a double date with to a local brewery 🍻. I actually saw Jessica Lauren Photography post about their engagement session at the Schlafly Tap Room and remember thinking how freaking cute they looked, so I was *thrilled* when Kelsee reached out to me about videography and I put two and two together!! Everything about their wedding day was truly a celebration of their relationship (past, present, and future) and their family and friends couldn't have been more excited for the two of them ❤️ loved this day!! vendors — Videography: Sydney Radetic Films Photography: Jessica Lauren Photography Venue: Chandler Hill Vineyards DJ/Emcee: Alexander Ruwe Florist: Sisters Floral Design Studio Dress: Glamour Closet HMUA: Sarah Norman Johnson

It's not often that couples write letters *and* their own vows to each other, but Camille and Carter did and it was such a gift—for their wedding video, and more importantly, for each other! Most choose to do one or the other (I get it; they're almost the same thing in many ways), but if you're hoping for inspiration on how to differentiate your letters from your vows, look no further. They also had each of their moms give a speech at the reception and I loved that so much. These two have the sweetest story (🍬pun intended) and their long-awaited wedding day was full of excitement and warmth and fun 😊 tbh what more could you wish for!! vendors— Videography: Sydney Radetic Films Photography: Abby Rose Photography LLC Venue & DJ: Stone House of St. Charles Coordination: Weddings by Renee Florals: Roses & Mint Florals Hair & Makeup: Salon Beautique Dresses: Mimi's Bridal at Town & Country Suits: Men's Wearhouse Invitations: Something Printed Jewelry: Lordo's Diamonds & Helzberg Diamonds Neon Sign: STL Neons Catering: Ces & Judy's Catering Cake: Sarah's Cake Shop

Could Hali and Jesse be any more perfect together?! I knew from the first call with Hali that their wedding was going to be one for the books, and my jaw dropped when I saw their engagement photos (taken by the one and only Sophie Axie Mae)—and still their day exceeded my expectations!! Hali truly thought of everything, down to her veil that literally ✨shimmered✨ in the sunlight. What a way to close out my 2022 wedding season 🤍🤍🤍 p.s. I felt so inspired by the dreamy footage that I took a bit of a departure from my usual music selection, what do we think? vendors — Venue: @hermannhillweddings Videography: @sydneyradeticfilms Photography: @sophieaxiemaephoto DJ: @highclassdjs Florist: @terrafloraflorist Makeup: @holly_wood_mua Hair: @sheanamarie_artistryllc Bride’s Dress: @martinalianabridal Bridesmaids’ Dresses: @shoprevelry Groom’s Tux: @suitsupply Groom’s Accessories: @thetiebar Jewelry: @thediamondfam Invitations: @paradiseinvitations Live Painter: @korianne.paints Transportation: @hermannwinetrolley Cake: @frostingsllc

Caroline + Dominic | wedding film

How am I supposed to sum up Caroline and Dominic's day?! For starters, Caroline is every bit as kind and giving as indicated in every speech given at their reception, and I could tell Dominic is just as selfless and dedicated to her and she is to him. I'll never forget when Caroline said "you look so good!" during their first look and Dom's response was "oh, it's not about me" 🥹 (see their sneak peek a few videos back, about 13 seconds in). It's such a privilege to get to witness moments/days like these!!! Also, can we take a moment to recognize that this is the most dancing footage I've ever included in a wedding film because that's just how my-lip-gloss-is-POPPIN' their dance floor was from the moment the fireworks show started to the end when everyone had to leave for their last dance. Such a fun night and even more fun group of people!! I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, High Class DJs knows how to bring the party 🎆 Videography: Sydney Radetic Films (Sydney, Alex, & Bailey) Photography: Astrid Johana Photography + Summer Leigha Photo Planning + Coordination: Allyssa Elaine Events Venue: Defiance Ridge Vineyards DJ + Emcee: High Class DJs Florals: Bloomin' Buckets Rentals - Flatware: Styled + Staged STL Neon Sign: STL Neons Cake / Dessert: Sarah's Cake Shop Ceremony Musicians: The Rosewood Ensemble Hair & Makeup: Joy Loveless Bridal Gown: Cleo Bridal Bridesmaid Dresses: Show Me Your Mumu Suits: THE BLACK TUX Transportation: All About You Limos Stationery: Minted

Camille + Carter | sneak peek

Camille and Carter have the sweetest story and have been together since the summer before high school 🥰 The letters they wrote and the way they look at each other just makes me wanna melt. Here's a sneak peek video of their gorgeous wedding, 9 years in the making!

Caroline + Dominic | sneak peek

Sneak peek of Caroline and Dominic's beautiful wedding day AKA #beginningofanewberra—I'm so happy that I got to kick off my 2022 season with them!! They surprised their guests with fireworks🎆 after their first dances and followed that up with one of the most fun dance floors I've seen; it was packed the entire night (major props to High Class DJs). Cannot wait to work on their full film! the dream team of vendors — Videography: Sydney Radetic Films (Sydney, Alex, & Bailey) Photography: Astrid Johana Photography + Summer Leigha Photo Planning + Coordination: Allyssa Elaine Events Venue: Defiance Ridge Vineyards DJ + Emcee: High Class DJs Florals: Bloomin' Buckets Rentals - Flatware: Styled + Staged STL Neon Sign: STL Neons Cake / Dessert: Sarah's Cake Shop Ceremony Musicians: The Rosewood Ensemble Hair & Makeup: Joy Loveless Bridal Gown: Cleo Bridal Bridesmaid Dresses: Show Me Your Mumu Suits: THE BLACK TUX Transportation: All About You Limos Stationery: Minted

Lindsey + Grant | wedding film

When I asked Lindsey and Grant how they wanted their wedding day to be remembered, they said "we want to remember the love we were surrounded by." It was all too easy to show that through their film because every moment of their day was overflowing with love—their love for each other, the love between them and their families, and especially God's love. And they were so intentional with making time to express that love through first looks with their parents, gifts, letters, a time to pray together right before their ceremony, a deeply meaningful ceremony, and so many other special aspects. Highly recommend those kinds of moments as a priority to all couples when planning their wedding day timeline! I'm going to stop gushing now but I seriously cannot get enough of these two and their day ❣️ Vendor cred— Videographer: Sydney Radetic Films (Sydney and Bailey) Photographer: Angellica Photography Venue: Stone House of St. Charles Florist: Roses & Mint Florals Bride's Dress: Essense of Australia from White Traditions Bridal House Bride's Accessories: Untamed Petals by Amanda Judge Hair & Makeup: Fleur Bridal Styling Bridesmaids Dresses: AZAZIE Suits: THE BLACK TUX Jewelry: Buchroeders Band: All Mixed Up Photo Booth: Fête Booth St Louis Caterer: Russo's Catering

Tara + Andrew | wedding film

Tara and Andrew's wedding day is always going to hold such a special place in my heart ❤️ and not just because Tara is my cousin-in-law (is that the technical term?). She and Andrew wrote each other the most sentimental letters full of inside jokes, had the most fun and helpful wedding party, and everyone's positive attitudes never faltered despite the light drizzle throughout the day. Oh and Andrew surprised Tara with a first dance song he had *written himself*!! Of course, we all know the real MVP of the day was their dog Presley—couldn't have happened without her 🥰 Vendor cred — Videographer: Sydney Radetic Films (Sydney + Alex) Photographer: Sara Mohamed Photography Venue: Villa Antonio Winery Florist: Alexis Quatmann Officiant: Riley Holtz Bride's Dress: Mia Grace Bridal Hair & Makeup: Bang Salon St. Louis Suits: Men's Wearhouse Cake: Laulie Cakes Catering: Orlando's Catering and Banquets DJ: Rick Harrison - Karaoke Midwest

Erin + Mitchell

When I sent Erin and Mitchell their finished wedding film, Erin responded with a reaction video of her and Mitchell watching it together 😭 best surprise ever. Safe to say it's about time that I premiered this on social media!! I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed filming their fun, Christ-centered day 💞 Vendor cred— Videographer: Sydney Radetic Films (Sydney + Bailey) Photographer: S.
