Wedding Photography and Videography Policy
Photographers and videographers should check in with St. Mark’s Wedding Coordinator upon arrival to review St. Mark’s photo/video policies and exchange contact information.
The following rules must be followed; there are no exceptions:
Absolutely no flash photography or video lighting
No photos on the Chancel or near the Altar during the ceremony
No distractions from processional, ceremony, or recessional; i.e., no waving, requesting poses, etc.
Photographers must stay behind the last pew during the processional
During the ceremony, photographers are welcome to take pictures from the side aisles and in the back, but not from the middle aisle, and they must stay behind the last row of seated guests
Please respect our house of worship and the sacrament of marriage, formal poses on the Altar and in the Chancel area may be taken post-ceremony
We respectfully request that you include a small note in your program letting your guests know that they are not to use flash photography during the ceremony.
The Pastor is available to remain after the ceremony for photos with the wedding party and family if desired. Arrangements should be made with the Pastor or the Wedding Coordinator prior to the rehearsal. Every effort should be made to secure the photos with the Pastor first, immediately after the ceremony ends.
