Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Twin Lakes Park, Latrobe

A wedding at Twin Lakes Park gives your photographer and videographer two lakes to work with. The county park outside Latrobe, on the Greensburg side of Hempfield, has a Lower Lake and an Upper Lake, and a figure-eight walkway circles both for about two and a half miles. A slow walk along the water after the ceremony makes easy, relaxed wedding photos and some natural moments for your wedding video.

You can hold your wedding ceremony at any of the park's ten pavilions, at the Activity Center or on the Island Stage, which comes with an Activity Center rental. The Activity Center is open all year and works for a small wedding reception too: a heated and air-conditioned reception hall with a small kitchen and indoor restrooms for up to 100 guests. The pavilions hold groups of up to 200 for a picnic-style celebration in warmer months. The Boathouse on the Lower Lake rents pedal boats and rowboats by the hour, if you'd like a playful picture on the water.

The county provides the space, not the extras. There are no wedding supplies, staff or seating for outdoor events, so arrange chairs, a tent or a sound system yourself; music, DJs and large tents need a Special Use Permit at least four days ahead. Park hours run from 9 a.m. to dusk, and Activity Center rentals until 9 p.m., with no early admission. Alcohol in non-glass containers is allowed. Photography and videography in the park require a permit from the county parks office.

• Reserve your pavilion or the Activity Center online, plus the day before if you want to set up early.
• Call the parks office about the photo and video permit for your photographer and videographer.
• Walk the lakes with your photographer at the hour your ceremony will start on your wedding day.
