Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Kumler Chapel, Oxford

A wedding at Kumler Chapel in Oxford takes place in a stone chapel on Miami University's Western Campus, a building with Gothic and Romanesque touches, warm wood inside and graceful arches overhead. The tall pointed windows and the stone outside give your photographer and videographer a classic setting for your wedding photos and film, inside during the ceremony and on the campus grounds after.

The chapel is for your wedding ceremony, and it seats up to 235 guests, a size that feels full without being crowded. Walking down the center aisle under the arches makes a lovely processional on video, and a stone room like this carries music and voices well, so your videographer may want a microphone near the front to catch your vows clearly. After the ceremony, the Western Campus grounds around the chapel are a natural place for wedding party pictures before you leave for the reception.

You can book the chapel on its own or together with a campus reception space through Miami's Conference and Event Services, and the university also points couples to the Marcum Hotel and Conference Center. Miami welcomes any couple, alumni or not. Couples who both attended Miami can book a little earlier: up to 19 months ahead for a chapel and reception venue, or 13 months for the chapel only, versus 18 and 12 months for everyone else.

• Call Conference and Event Services as soon as your booking window opens for your wedding day.
• Ask for the booking guidelines and policies.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the chapel and on campus.
