Photographs
Pictures are a cherished part of weddings. Because a wedding is a sacred occasion, certain procedures must be followed and it is the responsibility of the bride to inform the photographer of the policies of this church.
Flash pictures may be taken in the foyer before the processional and after the recessional. No photographs may be taken by guests during the ceremony. A time exposure of the ceremony may be taken unobtrusively from the rear of the church by the professional photographer. It is the ushers' responsibility to ensure that no photography occurs during the service.
If a picture of the bride's processional is desired, the photographer must stay behind the congregation and may not enter the Chancel at any time.
If the service is to be videotaped, the camera must be stationary and use natural light. The photographer may not move around the building or stand in the aisle. The camera may be located in the Sanctuary alcove, choir loft, or in the rear of the sanctuary.
Photographs and videotaping must be completed within 45 minutes of the completion of the wedding. After 45 minutes, the custodian has been instructed to begin turning off the lights and securing the building.
