Weddings: Photographers and Videographers

Photographers
It will be the responsibility of the couple to instruct the photographer that no flash pictures are permissible in the Sanctuary or the Chapel after the Processional and before the Recessional.  A timed exposure of the ceremony itself may be taken unobtrusively from the balcony.   Other pictures of the wedding party itself may be taken before or after the completion of the service. 

Videographers
Video equipment that does not intrude and is operated by remote control may be placed on the chancel area of either the Sanctuary or the Chapel. Video equipment may be placed in the balcony, or in the Narthex (back of the church).  No additional lights are allowed during the ceremony, videos must be taken using available light only.  All Videographers must clear where they would like to set up cameras with the Wedding Facilitator assigned to the wedding day.  Videographers may not be visible in the choir loft, chancel area or aisles during the ceremony.  Videographers will not be allowed to plug audio into the sound systems at the Sanctuary or the Chapel.  If you require a sound feed for the tape of the wedding, you may plug into the headphone jack (requiring a cable with a ¼ inch plug) on our recording deck.  It is the responsibility of the Videographer to supply the necessary cable for this purpose.  These arrangements must be made in advance of the wedding date with the assigned organist.  

A Photographer/Videographer policy letter is available to send.
