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.

I have talked to a lot of Atlanta wedding photographers. We chat about all the beautiful venues in our city and how we love the diverse choices brides and grooms have. Since my background is in historic preservation I tend to like historic venues. The most popular historic church in Atlanta is Christ the King and to me the best historic home is Naylor Hall. This week’s couple Katherine and Forest are people after my own heart. They chose both of those venues.
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.
The Atlanta Wedding Photographers at AtlantaArtisticWeddings captured several details that were very unique and reflected the bride and groom’s personality. The whole ceremony had a rustic cajun sort of vibe. The first thing I noticed were the boutonnieres for the guys which had real bullet casings holding them together. I also loved the simple wooden handmade and engraved ring boxes. The wedding cake had a little detail on it that was so cool! There were strands of pearls hanging from the base of the cake. It turned out these were bracelets for the bridesmaids and at the end were symbolic trinkets that corresponded to cards that told the bridesmaid’s future or personality trait. What I believed was the most thoughtful detail came from the bride. She had these handwritten notes for everyone in her wedding party and family. It reflected how caring and thankful she was to everyone at her wedding.
