Wedding Photographers & Videographers at St. Luke Church (Erie), Erie

A wedding at St. Luke Church brings your families to East 38th Street in Erie, to a Catholic parish that describes itself as a place where everyone is welcome. Your wedding ceremony here takes place at the altar of a busy, lived-in church with weekend Masses and a parish school community around it. For wedding photos and video, think about the moments that matter most in any church wedding: the processional down the center aisle, your vows at the front, and that first walk back up the aisle together as a married couple.

The church is a ceremony location. Couples hold the wedding reception at a separate hall, so your photographer will usually gather family pictures inside the church right after the ceremony, while guests head out. Ask how much time you'll have in the church afterward, and whether there's a room where the wedding party can wait before walking in.

Since 2024 the parish has been joined with Our Lady of Mount Carmel on East Grandview Boulevard, and the two churches share one parish office at St. Luke. That office is your first call. In the Diocese of Erie, couples meet with the priest months before the wedding day and complete marriage preparation, so reach out early and ask what the parish needs from you. When you plan the music, share the details with your wedding videographer too, so they can set up to capture clear sound from the vows and the music.

• Call the parish office at least six months ahead to talk about your date.
• Plan for diocesan marriage preparation.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where your photographer and videographer may stand during the ceremony.
