Church

Ceremonies

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the variety of locations available for weddings, but despite this, traditional church weddings remain very popular. I’ve photographed weddings in some beautiful historic churches with gorgeous stained glass windows and old stone walls. Churches are wonderful venues, and often, either the bride or groom will have an emotional connection to their chosen church, some spiritual connection which can make the ceremony incredibly special.

Photography-wise, there are some special considerations to be made for church weddings.

Each church will have its own rules regarding photography; it’s important to be aware of these, so I always ask my couples to check on any restrictions beforehand. Some churches don’t allow any photography during the ceremony, some officiants will have specific places they prefer a photographer to stand in, and others don’t mind as long as the photographer is discreet. It’s worth considering having a second shooter for a church wedding to capture the different angles.
