Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Saint Clement Church, Johnstown

Saint Clement Church on Lindberg Avenue in Johnstown is a neighborhood parish where a wedding feels personal. The church has a pitched roof and steeple added in a later renovation, which give your photographer a clean outline against the sky for wedding photos out front with your family on the way out.

Your wedding ceremony takes place inside, where the parish renewed the worship space with new lighting, a new altar and ambo, a new baptismal font and organ, and refinished pews. Good lighting matters for both your photographer and your wedding videographer, and the organ gives the processional a sound worth recording. The parish has an active music ministry with cantors and a choir, so ask the office who plays and sings for weddings.

For engaged couples, the parish publishes clear steps for engaged couples. Contact the rectory to set up a meeting with the pastor, ideally nine months before the date you have in mind. The parish gives you the Couple Inventory, and you complete one marriage preparation option: an Engaged Couples Weekend, the Marriage Prep Series, or meetings with a sponsor couple arranged through the parish. Schedules for the diocesan programs are on the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown website. Plan your wedding day around those steps and you will have time left over for the fun parts.

• Call the rectory about nine months before your wedding.
• Choose your marriage preparation option early, since weekends fill.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where your photographer may stand.
