Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Buckeye Lake

A wedding at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Buckeye Lake has the warmth of a small, family-oriented parish where people know one another. For your wedding photos and video, that feeling comes through in a church that a volunteer decorating committee dresses for each season, so depending on your date your photographer and videographer may find seasonal flowers and banners already in place around the sanctuary.

This is a place for your wedding ceremony, with the reception at a hall nearby. The parish asks couples to begin marriage preparation as soon as possible after the engagement and before setting a final date. You'll meet with the pastor for a series of conversations about the spiritual and practical sides of married life and complete the FOCCUS survey. Once the pastor's first assessment and the survey are done, the wedding date can be finalized.

Active parishioners should contact the pastor no later than six months before the date they have in mind. The parish then helps you choose your readings and music, and with a choir and a handbell choir among its ministries, there's local talent to ask about for your ceremony, which your videographer will be glad to record. Afterward, the church steps make a natural place for a picture with everyone before you head off to the wedding reception.

• Contact the parish office early in your engagement to start preparation.
• Plan time for meetings with the pastor and the FOCCUS survey.
• Ask the parish about photo and video guidelines before your wedding day.
