About St. Germaine Church

At St. Germaine Church on Baptist Road in Bethel Park, a Saturday wedding can begin as late as 4:00 p.m., later than at some of its sister churches. That gives your photographer and videographer softer late-day light for wedding photos outside the church, and a little more room in the morning for getting ready.

Our Lady of Hope Parish celebrates your wedding ceremony as a Mass or as a ceremony without Mass, and a parish wedding coordinator runs the rehearsal and is there on the day. Your photographer may take pictures at the center aisle during the procession and the recession, so both walks can be captured. Afterward, the parish suggests skipping the receiving line: the wedding party heads back to the front of the church by a side aisle or entrance for portraits in the time that remains. The wedding party can arrive an hour early and should be gone within half an hour of the end.

For video, the parish asks for a fixed camera position, usually in a sacristy or altar doorway, and recommends battery-powered equipment since outlets may not be close by. There's no flash during the liturgy, no added lighting, and no cameras in the sanctuary, and any furniture moved for pictures goes back where it was. Music comes from the parish musician who plays at St. Germaine, and you can add a cantor or instrumentalists through them. Decorations can't be tacked or taped, and petals, rice and confetti aren't allowed inside or out. The parish expects the bride or groom to ordinarily be a registered, participating member for six months; couples returning home can register where they live and get their own pastor's permission.

Contact a parish priest or deacon at least six months ahead to reserve a date.

Locations set their own rules about where photographers and videographers can stand, when they can take photos or film, and whether vendors need approval. We don't state those rules here.
