Wedding Photographers & Videographers at St. Aloysius Gonzaga Catholic Church, Littlestown

A wedding at St. Aloysius Gonzaga Catholic Church puts your ceremony right in downtown Littlestown, on South Queen Street a short walk from the square. It's a working parish church, with Mass every day of the week, and on a Saturday afternoon the sidewalk out front becomes the place for hugs, wedding photos and the first look at your guests as a married couple. Your photographer and videographer will spend most of the ceremony along the aisle, from the processional to the vows and the walk back out.

What you can plan here is a Catholic wedding ceremony in the church itself. The parish website is simple and doesn't describe the inside of the church or list wedding details, so the best way to see the light, the length of the aisle and where your musicians will be is to visit at the time of day your wedding will take place. Bring your photographer if you can, and your wedding videographer too, so they can listen to how the room carries sound.

The parish belongs to the Diocese of Harrisburg, which asks couples to start marriage preparation nine to twelve months before the wedding date. The parish office is the place to begin: it handles registration and can tell you what you'll need and when. After the ceremony, most couples head out to a separate reception, so plan time on your wedding day to get from Littlestown to your hall.

• Call the parish office as soon as you're engaged.
• Visit the church at your ceremony time with your photographer.
• Ask the parish about photo and video guidelines and any music rules.
