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.

Engagement Shoot at the Historic Naylor Hall in Roswell Georgia by the Atlanta Wedding Photographers at AtlantaArtisitcWeddings

This week’s photo session is at my favorite venue, Naylor Hall.  It was a combination engagement, educational, and promotional session.  Over the years I have become friends with the staff there.  Two of my treasured friends are Cameron and Abbey.  Cameron is working on his video portfolio.  He came up with the idea of shooting his sister Sammie and her fiancé John's engagement session at Naylor Hall.

Historic Roswell District an Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream

We agreed to meet at Barrington Hall in Roswell at 7:30am at sunrise.  They were real sports!  It started out very chilly and Sarah was wearing a beautiful white sundress that looked great on her but I know it was cold.  Evan and Sarah did not complain one bit!  As the shoot went on they started to appreciate the early morning  start time and the low light that comes when you start to shoot in the morning and get that early morning/sunrise light.

Scattered, Smothered, and Covered With Love at Waffle House!

As an Atlanta wedding photographer I have the honor of shooting a lot of engagement sessions at many unique places around the area. I have shot Piedmont Park, Ponce City Market, the Beltline and many other amazing Atlanta landmarks. This week I got to shoot at one of my favorite Atlanta landmarks: the Waffle House! It is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta and the very first Waffle House was located in Avondale Estates.

I got an email a few months ago from a couple who recently got engaged. They live in New York, but were coming to Atlanta to attend a wedding and wanted to do their engagement session while they were here. They had one request: they wanted to do the session where they had their first date: the Waffle House! When I heard this, I was so excited! I knew it was gonna be a blast!

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.

Nisha + Jigar

Nisha + Jigar

From all of us at Atlanta Artistic Wedding Photography, we hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas filled with joy, peace, happiness and of course, love.

Last Saturday, I had the unique opportunity of photographing a surprise proposal for a sweet Atlanta couple. Talk about the perfect gift this holiday season. Jigar contacted me recently, explaining how he was planning to propose to his girlfriend, Nisha, and wanted a photographer present to capture the moment. I was more than happy to oblige because who doesn’t enjoy true love combined a wildly romantic gesture? Because I wanted to document such a special moment from all angles, I contacted a former student of mine, Tara, to help me photograph. 

Aliza + Daniel

Aliza + Daniel

Classic crooner Andy Williams sang it best; “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” From gingerbread cookies to glistening white lights and hints of spruce to uncontrollable laughter of all ages, I adore everything about the holiday season. In fact, I could probably write a long list of even the most minor parts that make my heart smile. While I won’t bore you with the details, I do want to share one of my favorite aspects of the holidays, and that’s the outpouring of love. I still tear up over Hugh Grant’s opening monologue of Love Actually because like he said, “love actually is all around.” And not just during the holidays. No matter the season, it’s there. It’s present. And being a wedding and engagement photographer, I can attest to that.

Several weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing Aliza and Daniel’s early morning engagement shoot in beautiful Piedmont Park.

Oh how gorgeous an October morning looks during the famous blue hour.

Several weekends back, I had the greatest opportunity of photographing Joelle and Jeff’s classic Atlanta engagement shoot. The city was quiet and desolate, yet the skyline’s bright lights casted their guidance, leading us to some pretty incredible locations.

Toni + Nick

This past Saturday morning, I had the pleasure of shooting engagement photos for Texas-born bride-to-be, Toni, and her Peachtree City fiancé, Nick. Staying true to Atlanta, I captured snapshots of the happy couple at some of the city’s one-of-a-kind landmarks, including Ponce City Market, the Beltline, Historic Fourth Ward Park and Krog Street Tunnel. The Atlanta wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings are looking forward to their wedding at The Conservatory at Waterstone in Acworth .
