The White Chapel...

Rose Hulman is home to one of the most popular and unique wedding venues in the Terre Haute area...The White Chapel!

I get a high amount of questions about the details of booking this particular venue and I thought the easiest way to make all the info readily available was to post a blog about it!

I captured these images this spring while shooting a wedding there and I wanted to share with everyone how unique this venue truly is!





The White Chapel sits at the edge of a pond that runs through Rose Hulman's campus and guests can view the beautiful scenery while attending your wedding! The building is great for day-time AND night-time weddings and you have control of creating a mood for your event simply by choosing a particular time of day!

NOTE TO BRIDES (AND GROOMS!):: Make sure to check out the site at the time of day you are thinking of having your wedding BEFORE setting the time and sending out your invitations. Since there is a lot of natural light that comes through the windows along the pond (which is where you will be standing during the ceremony), you will want to make sure that there is not a heavy amount of light hitting anyone standing up on the alter during the wedding. This could potentially blind your wedding party, create too much heat on someone standing up with you (you don't want anyone to faint! I witnessed that first hand last year~ YIKES!!), and it also creates uneven lighting for photographs.

Making sure that the stage area is under even lighting will create an ideal situation for everyone participating in standing up with you and YOU & YOUR FUTURE SPOUSE will enjoy the ceremony to the fullest without being distracted by blinding light or uncomfortable heat from the sun! It's a simple precautionary measure you can take to make the most of your ceremony for you and your guests!


Some shots from the inside of the sanctuary~ The White Chapel can accommodate up to 200 guests and has a (small) dressing room for the bridal party, restrooms and an extra room for bridal party members to relax in before the ceremony...Check out the website provided by Rose Hulman with more details on renting the location for your event.





And a shot from across the pond at night...Isn't it pretty?? Who wouldn't want to get married here!?

  2. Wow this is so pretty. I am really impressed to see these photos. I also have to find such beautiful outdoor San Francisco venues for our wedding day. We too want a small but beautiful wedding ceremony so if you have any suggestions for SF venue, please recommend.
