About First English Evangelical Lutheran Church

A wedding at First English Evangelical Lutheran Church puts you on Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh, in the church most people in the city simply call First Lutheran. Your wedding photos start at the front doors, with the busy street and the downtown towers around you, then move inside, where the eye goes straight up the aisle to the mosaic of the Presentation above the altar. That long walk toward the mosaic is the moment your photographer and wedding videographer will plan around.

The church describes its art as one design, with the mosaic, the free-standing altar, the tabernacle and the Good Shepherd window echoing each other, so details you notice on a tour tend to turn up again in your pictures. Music is a real strength here: the sanctuary has a Casavant Freres organ, and its sound is something your wedding video will carry far better than any photo can. The building also has a courtyard, worth asking about for a quiet portrait away from the street.

This is a wedding ceremony venue, so plan your reception elsewhere. The parish asks every couple to meet in person with one of its pastors before a date is confirmed, and to meet with the pastor three times before the wedding day. Couples with no tie to the congregation are considered too. The presiding minister must be one of the church's own pastors, the pastor leads the rehearsal, and the church provides a wedding director or building attendant. Weddings are not held during Lent or Holy Week.

Call the wedding coordinator for dates, guidelines and fees, then meet with a pastor.
Leave room in your calendar for three counseling sessions.
Ask about photo and video guidelines before your photographer plans the day.
