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.
The Atlanta wedding photographers at AtlantaArtistcWeddings photograph Noah and Lauren’s wedding at Ashton Gardens. The couple were surrounded from with family and friends. They even brought their family dog as a guest to the wedding where he was a super star!
Documentary Wedding photography includes classic black and white photos. Black and white photos are timeless and they never go out of style. Atlanta Artistic Weddings and it's award winning photography includes timeless black and white photography.
This week’s wedding is Sarah and Cole. Sarah contacted me a few months ago. Sarah told me that she was graduating from Emory and wanted a small ceremony of a few friends and family. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I love the Emory campus. There are so many photo locations for wedding photography. Like the Glenn Memorial Church Little Chapel. It is behind the larger church when you enter campus. It is perfect for intimate ceremonies like Sarah and Cole.
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.
