What I like about shooting weddings in Atlanta
I was recently asked what I like about doing weddings and I responded everything! I especially love doing weddings at historical locations around this great town Atlanta. I have worked with some great professionals and I have shared them at my site www.atlantaweddingphotographer.info. I have listed DJs, musicians, wedding planers and locations that I thought were great. I have also made a map of some the great locations at www.atlantaweddingphotographer.info. It is a interactive map showing a photograph from www.atlantaartisticweddings.com and a location of the venue. I have designed the map to help brides and grooms to find a convenient location wedding location around Atlanta.
Some of my favorite locations are the historical venues. As some of you know I have been a full time photographer for different archaeology and historic research firms around Atlanta for close to 20 years. I have learned truly appreciate some of the greatest historical sites in the state. My most recent find is the Brasselton Stover House. You can see images of the facility at www.braseltonstoverhouse.com. It is located outside of Atlanta in the Braselton Historic District. There you will Mary and Marvin Stover. They are real down home people that will do their best to make your wedding a day to remember. They have recently added a addition to the back of the historic mansion. You can see some photography I shot there at www.dienerphotography.com. There are so many interesting places to shot there from the front porch to the side yard with the historical barns. Also the facilty has one of the best bridal rooms of any facility I have seen. It is a really under appreciated wedding facility at a great price!
