Atlanta Wedding Photographers Share Historic ...

As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I get to shoot at some amazing locations. As some of you may know I am involved in historic preservation and I love historic venues. This week we are going to cover some of my favorite historic places of worship in Atlanta. I am also sharing a map of the historic churches, temples and synagogues in Atlanta. I hope you enjoy this little tour as much as I do.

The Temple, established in 1860 to serve the needs of the German-Jewish immigrants, is the only non-Christian historic house of worship in Midtown. The neoclassical Temple was designed by noted Atlanta classicist Philip Trammell Shutze in 1931. While dramatically scaled back from the pre-Depression plans, the sanctuary takes cues from Venetian churches Shutze saw while studying in Rome. During the 1950’s and 1960’s, The Temple was a center for civil rights advocacy. Its civil rights role was one of the central themes in the movie Driving Miss Daisy.

Atlanta Wedding Photographer Captures Engagement Photos At The Historic Callanwolde Arts Center

This week’s couple is Aaron and V.  They met a few years ago and there was an immediate connection.  The relationship grew along with their love for each other. They were together in Atlanta for four years and now because of Aaron's job they are in two different cities.  Aaron is in south Georgia and V is still in Atlanta and together they are  making it work!  They have such a wonderful partnership where they complement each other wonderfully.

They are getting ready to have their wedding in India and they wanted a few photos before the ceremony there.  They contacted me a few weeks ago.  When Aaron called me it was cold and rainy which is typical for this time of year.  I suggested an indoor location.  We agreed on Callanwolde Arts Center in Atlanta.

To find a good wedding photographer you have to do some detective work.  You have many resources available to you.  You can look at reviews, ask your wedding venue, or simply Google them.

Reading reviews tell a story about the photographer.  They tell you about customer satisfaction and sometimes you get some insight into their personality.  At Atlanta Artistic Weddings we are proud of our reviews and our awesome couples.  It takes time to write a review and share your wedding experience.  

We have been in business for over 15 years and if you look us up on Google  you can see over 80 positive reviews from our bride and grooms. Below are some quotes from our favorite bride and grooms.

Fun Photoshoot At The Atlanta Georgia Temple Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints

This week’s wedding is Giovana and Cameron who finally had their wedding with their family at The Atlanta Georgia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Cameron met Giovana during his mission trip to Brazil. They had to postpone for a couple of years because of COVID and immigration issues.

Cameron contacted me about two weeks ago with a sort of strange request. He told me that he and Giovana have been married for a few months but they never had a photo shoot or a formal wedding at their Temple. Giovana wanted a few photos of the two of them in a tux and a wedding dress. We made plans to meet early Saturday morning at the Temple before it got too hot.

The Atlanta wedding photographers at AtlantaArtisticWeddings were honored to photograph John and Alyssa’s wedding at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. It was a beautiful wedding held in the historic garden and Historic mansion that has been used in many movies that have been shot in town. The event venue has a rich history in the Atlanta area with ties to Coke and Emory University. It is now in the hands of the Dekalb county where it hosts art shows, dance lessons and drawing classes. It makes for a perfect backdrop for any Atlanta Wedding.

Something Old

Something Old

One of the most well-known American wedding day traditions originates from an Old English rhyme: “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe.” This catchy rhyme refers to five different good-luck charms a bride should incorporate into her outfit or carry with her on her wedding day. While some brides forgo tradition, others embrace it, especially by including family heirlooms and keepsakes on their big day—a popular and quite stylish trend.

Last week, AAW photographed photos of Jennifer in her grandmother’s elegant wedding gown at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.

Over the weekend, we had the honor of photographing Rachel and Alfred’s classic romantic affair at the celebrated Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. This wedding was one I had been looking forward to for a long time. As most of you know, I’m a sucker for timeless Atlanta landmarks, especially those rich in history.
