About Saint James Episcopal Church

A wedding at Saint James Episcopal Church in Lancaster starts on North Duke Street, where the old brick church stands beside its historic churchyard. That churchyard is a big part of what makes wedding photos here special. The parish allows pictures inside the church and around the churchyard before and after the service, so you and your photographer can step from the aisle straight out among the old gravestones for portraits.

Inside, a center aisle leads to the high altar, and two Tiffany windows, each showing an angel, stand on either side of the chancel. It's a long, straight walk, a clear view of the processional for your videographer at the back. Your wedding ceremony follows the Book of Common Prayer in a traditional Episcopal service, with or without Holy Communion and led by the parish clergy. Music comes from the parish's designated organist, who also joins your rehearsal, an hour-long run-through at 5 PM the evening before. Dressing areas are included, so the wedding party can get ready on site.

Saint James hopes couples who come here want a real connection with the parish, and every couple completes pre-marital counseling with the clergy. If neither of you is a member, the online application asks you to explain briefly why you'd like to be here. Weddings aren't held on Sundays or during Lent, Easter or the Christmas and New Year season. Alcohol isn't allowed anywhere on the campus, and the wedding page doesn't mention a reception space, so plan your wedding reception at another Lancaster venue.

Fill out the parish's online wedding application and wait for the clergy to confirm your date.
Share the parish's photography guidelines with your photographer and videographer; they cover where to stand during the service, flash, and the time pictures inside must finish.
Walk from the Duke Street doors into the churchyard on a visit, so you know where your portraits will happen on your wedding day.

A little about Saint James Episcopal Church

The parish was organized in 1744 as a Church of England parish. The brick church you'll walk into was consecrated in 1820 and enlarged over the following decades, with its tower and many of its stained glass windows added later in that century.
