Wedding Photographers & Videographers at St. George Church, Erie

A wedding at St. George Church brings you to Peach Street in Millcreek, south of downtown Erie, to a large parish with a clear plan for couples. The procession enters along the Georgian Way aisle, 55 feet long, so your wedding videographer has a full, steady processional to follow, and the wedding cars can wait in the spaces right outside the Georgian Way entrance for wedding photos as you leave.

Photography is welcome here: video and still photos can be used in the church, and one photographer may move about during the wedding ceremony, staying out of the sanctuary (the round marble area inside the communion rails) and from in front of the congregation. After the ceremony there's time for pictures in the sanctuary itself, up until 3 p.m. on Saturday, and live streaming may be available for family who can't travel. Bubbles outside are allowed for your exit, which makes a fun moment on camera.

Weddings are usually at 1 p.m. on Saturday, and the church is yours from an hour before until an hour after. The bride and her party can dress in the parish meeting room, so getting-ready pictures can happen on site. An organist and soloist are provided, and the Minister of Music helps you choose the music. Flowers may go in the sanctuary but not on the altar. The church hosts the ceremony on your wedding day; plan the reception at another venue.

• Contact the parish at least six months ahead; at least one of you should be a member.
• Plan on Pre-Cana, Engagement Encounter or NOVA.
• Read the parish's matrimony guide, including its photo and video guidelines, with your photographer.

A little about St. George Church

The parish was founded in 1922 in a red brick church. The present church was dedicated on October 7, 1959, as the parish grew with the suburbs.
