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 Photographers Shoot at Little Gardens

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Shoot at Little Gardens

This week’s couple is Kristin and Daniel. I met them through my church. They approached me after service one Sunday and said that they were looking for a Atlanta wedding photographer for their wedding at Little Gardens. I was excited to say yes Little Gardens is less than a mile from my house!

Little Gardens is a hidden gem in the Lawrenceville area. It is a colonial-style venue nestled in the midst of a 7-acre estate. It has an outdoor ceremony area with a picturesque waterfall and koi fish pond. There is also a large bridal suite with overstuffed sofas and a floor-to-ceiling mirror to die for as well as a large ballroom and wrap-around bar in the reception area.

It was a weekday wedding so I left work and went straight there. The bride and bridesmaids happened to arrive at the same time that I did. As they went into the bridal room I brought out the wedding dress for a few detail shots. Also while the girls were getting ready the groom arrived with his groomsmen. We kept the groups separated until the ceremony.

Last Sunday, Atlanta Artistic Weddings ended a busy March with Anna and Gary’s playful early morning engagement shoot in downtown Lawrenceville, Ga. The pair met at Cannon United Methodist Church in Snellville, Ga., where they both served as summer camp counselors. And the rest is wedding bells.
