Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Old Chapel, Railroad

A wedding at The Old Chapel happens inside a restored church and schoolhouse in Railroad, a small town in southern York County. The venue calls itself clean, affordable and picturesque, and its gallery shows a charming exterior and a beautifully renovated interior, the kind of setting that gives your wedding photos and video a cozy, old-fashioned feel without a big ballroom around you.

The Old Chapel offers a wedding package for your big day, and it also hosts bridal showers, birthday parties and other gatherings. It even rents by the hour for photo sessions, which could suit engagement pictures before the wedding. The website doesn't spell out how the room is set for a wedding ceremony and a wedding reception, so ask whether both can happen here on the same day, how many guests fit for each, and how long it takes to turn the room over between them.

Because this is a smaller, intimate space, it's worth bringing your photographer and wedding videographer to a walkthrough. They'll want to see where you'll stand, how much daylight comes in, and where they can work without blocking anyone's view. Ask about getting-ready space too, and about any preferred vendors, since the venue keeps a list for couples.

• Call to check your date and talk through the wedding package.
• Walk the space with your photographer and plan where your wedding day pictures will happen.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, parking and set-up times.

A little about The Old Chapel

Once a church and schoolhouse, The Old Chapel was restored by a family who has lived in Railroad for more than 30 years, and the next generation of that family now runs it as an event venue.
