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.

Love and Weddings Can Be Spontaneous at The Cherokee Town Club

Keven and Maria are this week’s couple. Keven contacted me one week before the wedding. He explained that it was going to be a small ceremony of a few family and friends while everyone was in town for the holidays.

The wedding was held at the Cherokee Town and Country Club, a historic mansion located off of Paces Ferry Road between Midtown and Buckhead. The Town Club occupies the famed Grant Estate and was chartered in 1956. It is recognized as one of America’s premier private clubs. The Grant Estate is one of the 8 original historic properties on Paces Ferry. It is part of Atlanta’s most beautiful historic districts which includes such properties as the Swan House, Tullie Smith House, and Stuart With House.
