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.
This week’s couple is Laura and David. They wanted to do an engagement shoot in their neighborhood. Their home is located near the historic Oakland Cemetery. It makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos.
Atlanta has a thriving wedding photography scene, with many talented and experienced photographers to choose from. Here are a few of the best artistic wedding photographers in Atlanta:
David Diener is a world-renowned, nationally published photojournalist photographer who has been photographing weddings since 2003. He has a natural, relaxed style that captures the beauty and emotion of the day.
This week’s blog is on the Payne-Corley House. As an Atlanta wedding photographer at atlantaartisticweddings it is one of my favorite places to shoot. It is located in the Duluth Historic District right across the street from the train tracks that go through downtown.
While all these physical upgrades make for a beautiful venue where Payne-Corley shines is in its staff and their event training. Krista and Mike together have over 60 years of experience in event planning. Their gracious staff make every guest feel at home and at ease. They are quick and know how to think on their feet. I particularly remember them accommodating a wedding on one of the rare occasions when it snowed in Duluth.
As a Atlanta wedding photographer at AtlantaArtisticWeddings I share a blog on weddings I have done. This week’s wedding is Evangeline and Nathen. The wedding took place at one of my favorite churches in Atlanta, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation. This church hosts the Greek festival every year, where you can get great Greek food and learn about Greek culture.

As a Atlanta wedding photographer I feel so lucky! The metro area is blessed with many historic event venues. As an Atlanta wedding photographer these gems make for beautiful backdrops for photography. These historic mansions scattered throughout the metro area bring grandeur and elegance to your wedding. Holding your ceremony at a historic landmark makes your wedding historic also! Here are just a few of our favorite historic wedding venues.
Amanda and Robert are this week’s couple. They are two police officers who fell in love. They both have a deep appreciation of history, service to their community and devotion to each other. They are such a wonderful couple!
As a Atlanta wedding photographer I do so many weddings I have seen couples with the same occupation marry each other, wether it be archaeologists who travel a lot, EMTs that deal with traumatic accidents, or doctors who have long hours and many hours of school. It seems like these couples understand the sacrifices of their occupation. They know that it is their passion in life and they have a calling to do what they do. I can see that in people in law enforcement too.
