Photography and Videography

Your photographer must be informed of the following guidelines.

1. Photographer and videographer need to check in with the wedding coordinator prior to taking pictures and/or videos.

2. Pictures may be taken in the church up to 45 minutes prior to the ceremony or 30 minutes immediately following the wedding; there may be a wedding or 5pm Mass following yours, so please be considerate.

3. Flash photography may not be taken during the wedding liturgy.

4. The photographer and videographer should not freely roam throughout the church or sanctuary during the liturgy. They may not go on the steps to the main sanctuary. They may go into the side chapels and through a back corridor. An ideal place from which to take photos during the liturgy is the choir loft; however, care should be taken to not interfere with the musicians. See floorplan of the church below—yellow highlights are were photographer and videographer may be.

5. Flash pictures are permitted as the wedding party leaves the Church and after the liturgy as well as before the liturgy.
