Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Immaculate Conception Church (Madison), Madison

A wedding at Immaculate Conception Church in Madison is a hometown Catholic wedding in Lake County, in a parish that has served the area for well over a century. The church stands on Hubbard Road, and the parish grounds include a shrine to Mary, a quiet spot your photographer and videographer can use for wedding photos and film of the two of you after the ceremony.

Your wedding ceremony takes place in the main church, and the parish also has a chapel with its own altar. Inside, the altar is the center of everything, and the main altar holds relics of St. Maria Goretti, a meaningful detail to point out to your photographer when you plan the pictures at the front of the church. The walk down the aisle is the processional your videographer will build the film around, so ask where they may stand to capture it.

The parish asks engaged couples to begin by contacting the parish office by phone or email. The priest will explain marriage preparation, which in the Diocese of Cleveland takes about six months, and help you plan the readings and music. The parish center beside the church holds parish events, so ask the office what the parish allows on your wedding day. Leave time after the ceremony for family pictures inside and then a walk outside to the shrine, especially on a bright day.

• Contact the parish office to start planning and to set a date.
• Allow about six months for marriage preparation.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and about pictures at the shrine.
