Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Holy Family Church (Latrobe), Latrobe

A wedding at Holy Family Church in Latrobe takes place in a parish that has served the town since the years before the Civil War. The church stands on Ligonier Street, and the parish keeps a restoration photo archive and a dedication video on its website, worth a look before you visit so you and your photographer can picture the wedding photos and video you'd like: the walk down the aisle, the vows at the altar and a group picture outside after the ceremony.

Your wedding ceremony here is planned through the parish office. The parish website doesn't post wedding guidelines, notice times or preparation steps, and its sacraments page simply asks couples to contact the office about marriage in the Diocese of Greensburg. That means your first call is the most important one: ask about dates, how far ahead to book, marriage preparation, music and paperwork, and whether couples from outside the parish may get married here.

It also pays to ask early about pictures and film. Have the parish tell you where your photographer and wedding videographer may stand during the liturgy, whether flash is allowed, and how much time you'll have in the church for pictures afterward. A videographer will want to know about the organ and whether a sound feed is available. With answers in hand, you can plan the rest of the wedding day, from getting ready to the drive to your reception, around the ceremony time.

• Contact the parish office as early as you can about dates and preparation.
• Visit the church with your photographer before the wedding.
• Ask the parish about photo and video guidelines.
