Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Sts. Peter and Paul Church (Lehighton), Lehighton

A wedding at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Lehighton takes place in a brick Gothic-style church with stone trim on North Third Street, the Catholic parish church of the town in the Diocese of Allentown. The parish's own history describes stained glass windows that were carefully preserved through its renovations, which means colored daylight for your wedding photos and video. Before the day, walk the church with your photographer and videographer so they can see how the light falls, how long the aisle is for your processional and where the parish allows them to stand.

Couples are asked to call the rectory at least six months before the proposed wedding date to register and begin any needed preparation. The Diocese of Allentown's parishes describe the diocesan policy as meeting with the priest at least a year ahead and no later than six months before, with marriage preparation classes along the way. Ask the rectory what applies to you, especially if neither of you is a registered parishioner.

Your wedding ceremony, its readings and its music are planned with the priest. Share the plan with your wedding videographer, since the music and the vows carry the sound of your wedding film, and ask where musicians and readers will be so microphones can be placed well. Ask about the parish's photo and video guidelines during the liturgy, and leave time on the wedding day for family pictures afterward. Weekend Masses are Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, so ask which Saturday times are available for weddings.

• Call the rectory at least six months before your date.
• Walk the church with your photographer and videographer to see the windows in daylight.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and marriage preparation.

A little about Sts. Peter and Paul Church

Ground was broken for the present church in August 1906, and it was dedicated on September 1, 1907. A 1979 renovation of the interior and exterior added new chandeliers, oak pews and Italian wood carvings while keeping the stained glass.
