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 Master the Light

As an Atlanta wedding photographer I think the most rewarding and challenging wedding photography is shooting at night.  You have to be very aware of the ambient light and know how to bring light to a bride or couple. 

Blue Hour = Dramatic Wedding Photographs

When I mentioned ambient light that means the existing light.  The existing light can be the light from the room, dj’s lights, or the night sky.  My favorite kind of night sky is the blue hour. It happens about 20 minutes after sunset.  You have to time it perfectly. When you have timed it just right you can have some dramatic results.  You can see that I do that often during my weddings.  You just set up the lights and tap the couple on the shoulder and they step outside for 3 minutes and they have a beautiful dramatic portrait.

Why We Do What We Do - A Letter To Our Wonderful Couples And The People We Work With

As a Atlanta Wedding Photographer I know this year has been tough on some couples that wanted to celebrate their weddings. I have felt their pain, but I know that, in the long run, things will be okay. The greatest thing in a wedding is the fact that the couple found each other in this big world of millions of people! Together, they will go through many tough times, which is a part of life. The most important thing is that they have a partner in life to be there with them through the hard times, and to celebrate with them in the good times. Rescheduling or changing your wedding plans can be daunting, and the fact that the celebration may not be how you imagine can be disheartening. The most important thing to remember is that you have a person who loves you and the two of you are starting an exciting new chapter in life.
