Wedding Photographers & Videographers at St. Agnes Church (Lock Haven), Lock Haven

A wedding at St. Agnes Church in Lock Haven is a Catholic wedding ceremony in one of the two churches of Holy Spirit Parish; the other is Immaculate Conception on West Water Street. The parish office is right beside St. Agnes on East Walnut Street, so the place you'll plan your wedding is next door to where you'll walk down the aisle. Talk to the parish about photos and video early, along with your date.

The parish asks couples to meet with the pastor at least nine months before the wedding. Every couple takes part in the Pre-Cana program or an Engaged Encounter weekend offered by the diocese's Family Life office and completes the FOCCUS inventory as part of preparing for marriage. Special situations can need more time, and the office works those out with each couple. Office hours are weekday mornings, with afternoon visits by appointment.

Holy Spirit Parish's website doesn't describe the church or publish photo rules, so bring your questions to the first meeting: how many guests St. Agnes seats, how long the aisle is for your processional, where your photographer and videographer may stand, and how long you can stay inside for wedding photos with your family afterward. Ask about music, too, because the organ or cantor will be part of your wedding video. Since the parish has two churches, confirm that your wedding day is booked at St. Agnes and not Immaculate Conception.

• Meet with the pastor at least nine months ahead.
• Sign up early for Pre-Cana or Engaged Encounter.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines before your photographer plans timing.
