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.

Payne-Corley House Is An Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream

Payne-Corley House Is An Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream

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.

The wedding took place at my favorite venue Naylor Hall. I arrived early to get an idea of the layout since Ryan and Kitty changed plans and decided to have the wedding indoors because of the weather.  The pros at Naylor are nimble and resourceful and can adapt to any situation.  I was greeted by Abby who has been working there for years and is Sunny the owner's right hand.  She is such an amazing person who is cool under pressure and shows such grace.  Whenever I (https://www.atlantaartisticweddings.com/) am there I feel like I am coming home to my family.

The ceremony was held in the parents living room. They had set up the folding screen, sitting area, mat and table. The table had food towers with candles for decoration. The nine foods were on the table representing the couple’s life long union. There were dates on the table symbolizing the couple rising early and working hard. There were also bags of chestnuts to help ward off evil spirits. Parents sat on one side of the table and the couple sat on the other side of the table. On the couples side of the table was a tea set for serving. On the parents side were several cups for being served. While the parents are being served the take turns offer advice and blessings to the bridal couple. They also give the the couple white envelopes containing money to help them on their new journey. It is important that the bride and groom receive any gifts with two hands, rather than just one, to show respect.
