Getting Married at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Lincoln, Nebraska

A Catholic Photographer’s Guide to a Joyful, Sacred Wedding Day

If you’re getting married in Lincoln and you want a traditional, joyful, and truly reverent Catholic wedding, St. Peter’s Catholic Church offers all the beauty and peace your heart is craving.

With a close-knit parish community, a beautiful sanctuary, and a layout that flows naturally for prayer, portraits, and peaceful preparation, St. Peter’s is one of our favorite Lincoln churches to photograph in.

✝️ A Place Where the Mass Comes First

St. Peter’s is the kind of parish where you can feel the love for Jesus in the Eucharist the moment you walk in. From the central tabernacle to the intentional liturgy, it’s a church that prioritizes the Sacrament of Matrimony over the pressure of performance.

The priests here walk with couples spiritually and practically, making it a beautiful parish for those who truly want to prepare for marriage as a vocation.

💒 The Church: Beautiful, Balanced, and Timeless

The sanctuary at St. Peter’s is:

• Warm and classic, with natural wood tones and soft lighting

• Perfectly sized for a medium or large Catholic wedding

• Centered around the altar and tabernacle—just the way it should be

• 
  

We love photographing weddings here because it lets us showcase what matters most: Christ at the center.

📸 A Photographer Who Knows the Space

St. Peter’s layout is excellent for a peaceful, joy-filled photo experience. Our team has photographed weddings here and knows:

• Where the best light hits for portraits

• How to capture the altar and vows reverently

• How to stay out of the way while still documenting every sacred moment

  
  

We’ll work with your priest, your timeline, and your family to make sure you can be present while we capture every detail with beauty and ease.

👰‍♀️🤵 Getting Ready: Simple and Peaceful

St. Peter’s offers on-site getting-ready rooms for both the bride and groom—clean, calm, and just enough space for your crew to get ready without distractions. We typically begin the day here with:

• Prayer and robe photos in the bridal suite

• Vow writing and vesting photos with the groom

• Quiet moments with parents and friends

🏞️ Portraits: Options Within Walking Distance

After the Mass, many couples want portraits around Lincoln. We’ll help guide you to nearby spots that fit your vibe—whether that’s:

• The State Capitol for elegant, classic architecture

• Pioneers Park for natural backdrops

• Or simply more time on the church grounds for family and bridal party portraits

  
  

Because we’ve worked here before, we’ll build a timeline that works with the light, the traffic, and your peace.
