Morris Chapel wedding ceremony photographer capturing a stunning black and white photo of a newly married couple walking out of the church right after coming down the aisle. When the light is just right I love to snap off a couple of pictures as they pass by me at the end of their ceremony.
Morris Chapel is a stunning old church that is located on the campus of the University of Pacific in Stockton California. Morris Chapel is a non-denominational church where locals and anyone wanting to marry in this amazing old chapel can do so. This chapel looks like nothing from the local area or anything that would be built on the west coast. With the charming old brick buildings that make up the campus of U.O.P. This architecture would be something that you would find in the mid west or on the east coast. The Chapel started construction back in 1937 and was finally finished and dedicated on April 19, 1942. The Sanctuary window that is located behind the alter once was in the methodist church of San Francisco. The windows were removed when they gave up the building in 1937 and were sought after by the trustees and were then installed into Morris Chapel as it was being built. This church has so much interesting history and beauty.
