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.

Something Old

Something Old

One of the most well-known American wedding day traditions originates from an Old English rhyme: “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe.” This catchy rhyme refers to five different good-luck charms a bride should incorporate into her outfit or carry with her on her wedding day. While some brides forgo tradition, others embrace it, especially by including family heirlooms and keepsakes on their big day—a popular and quite stylish trend.

Last week, AAW photographed photos of Jennifer in her grandmother’s elegant wedding gown at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.

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.

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.

Alison + Brett

And just like that, we’ve reached December. What an amazing year it’s been for Atlanta Artistic Wedding Photography. We’ve captured so many beautiful couples’ big days and shared their stories of true love and unadulterated happiness. Though 2018 may be winding down, we still have more weddings to share. 

On Saturday, Nov. 24, we had the wonderful opportunity to document Alison and Brett’s lovely autumn wedding at the gorgeous Payne-Corley House located in historic Duluth, Ga.—an emerging area just northeast of Atlanta.

Jennifer + Jonathan

Jennifer + Jonathan

It’s quite incredible how quickly October has come and gone. And with it go the warm temperatures, pumpkins, colorful foliage and many wonderful wedding memories. I couldn’t think of a better way to end an eventful, yet rewarding month than with another gorgeous Atlanta wedding.

On Saturday, we had the honor of documenting Jennifer and Jonathan’s lovely fairytale nuptial.

Joelle + Jeff

Joelle + Jeff

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.

Brooke + Madison

Brooke + Madison

No matter skin color or religious affiliation or sexual orientation, I will never not love documenting love between couples. On Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Brooke and Madison’s intimate Winn Park wedding in Ansley Park. I enjoy a simple, yet wildly romantic outdoor ceremony, and this one was no exception.

Sherriel + Joseph

Sherriel + Joseph

Who doesn’t love a classic love story? Every weekend, my team and I capture those real life love stories with our cameras and professional equipment.

Last Saturday, we had the honor of documenting the wedding of yet another beautiful couple. Sherriel and Joseph tied the knot at the Romanesque Revival-style Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Atlanta, followed by a reception at SweetWater Brewery.

Jenni + Justin

Jenni + Justin

We had the pleasure of photographing Jenni and Justin’s sweet rustic wedding at The Hunt’s Barn in Dacula, Georgia. Though only minutes away from Highway 316 and Atlanta’s outer perimeter, this lovely wedding venue delivered an ideal locale for such a simple, yet well-designed country wedding.

Rachel + Alfred

Rachel + Alfred

Over the weekend, we had the honor of photographing Rachel and Alfred’s classic romantic affair at the celebrated Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. This wedding was one I had been looking forward to for a long time. As most of you know, I’m a sucker for timeless Atlanta landmarks, especially those rich in history.

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 .

Darby + Nick

Darby + Nick

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of photographing Darby and Nick’s intimate wedding in historic Virginia-Highland. The ceremony was held at the historic Whisenant Estate. The Atlanta wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings were honored to photograph such a wonderful couple.
