Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Presbyterian Church of the Mountain, Delaware Water Gap

Planning a wedding at Presbyterian Church of the Mountain means getting married in a church that hikers from around the world know, at Main Street and Church Lane in Delaware Water Gap. It is a community church with Sunday worship, an artists in residence program and weekly potluck dinners, and for couples who love the outdoors, getting married in the town where the Appalachian Trail passes through can make your wedding photos and wedding video feel personal. Your photographer will likely want pictures in the village itself after the ceremony.

Its website doesn't mention weddings at all and lists no phone number, so reach out through its email link before planning anything. Ask whether the church hosts weddings, whether you need to be a member, who would officiate your wedding ceremony, and what is possible for music. Ask, too, which rooms you could use on your wedding day, since the building also houses the church's hiker center with a bunk room and sitting room.

There is no reception space listed, so plan to hold your reception somewhere else in the Poconos. If the church can host you, ask for a walk-through with your photographer and wedding videographer so they can see the light and where they may stand during the service.

• Email the church through its website to ask whether weddings are possible.
• Ask about dates around Sunday worship and the Thursday evening dinners.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines before your photographer plans timing.

A little about Presbyterian Church of the Mountain

The church's Hikers Ministry began in 1976, when it opened a center for thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail, and the church says it is the oldest hiker hostel on the trail. Outside stands a three-sided shelter called Matt's Place.
