Wedding Photographers & Videographers at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Dover

A wedding at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Dover connects you to one of the oldest parishes in Tuscarawas County, on North Tuscarawas Avenue just north of downtown. It's a busy, welcoming parish with Masses in English and Spanish, and a wedding here feels like the whole community is part of it. For your wedding photos and video, think about the walk down the aisle, your vows at the altar, and the doors opening as you come back out together.

Your wedding ceremony takes place in the church. The parish also has a large Family Life Center, two stories with eight meeting rooms, and it has hosted wedding receptions, so ask the parish office whether it's available for yours. That would keep the whole wedding day on one campus, with no drive between the ceremony and dinner, and an easy evening for your wedding videographer and photographer to follow from the vows to the toasts.

The parish doesn't publish its wedding steps online, so call the office early to learn what marriage preparation involves and when dates are open. Visit the church with your photographer at the hour of your ceremony to see the light, and ask where a camera can stand during the vows.

• Call the parish office well ahead of your date to schedule and start preparation.
• Ask whether the Family Life Center can host your reception.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines before your photographer and videographer plan the day.
