How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
In a hotel ballroom I arrive before the guests and photograph the room while it is still perfect, the tables, the flowers and the glow of the chandeliers. Once the doors open it never looks that clean again. During the reception I bounce my light off the ceiling, so faces stay soft and the room keeps its warm color instead of a flat flash look.
This hotel publishes an outdoor space, so I would plan around the sun. A ceremony outside at midday means hard light and squinting guests, so I ask couples to look up the sunset time first and work back from it. Even when the ceremony is inside, the open air is where I would take the two of you for twenty quiet minutes before dinner.
Big windows are the best light in any hotel. I would put the two of you near them for portraits and for the getting ready photographs, with the city soft behind you, and keep the room lights off so the color stays clean.
Height and a view are what make a city wedding look like a city wedding. I would find the spot where the buildings line up behind you, then come back to it at blue hour, about twenty minutes after sunset, when the city lights come on and the sky is still deep blue.
A smaller room is a gift for photographs. Everyone is close, the toasts are personal, and I can cross the whole room in seconds without missing a reaction.
Ask for a getting ready suite with a big window and some open floor. A clean, bright room makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look like a magazine story, and it saves time on the day.

Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Epicurean Atlanta, Autograph Collection
Epicurean Atlanta, Autograph Collection lists outdoor space, so the ceremony time is the one decision that changes every photograph. I like a ceremony that ends a little more than an hour before sunset. The light is softer, guests are not squinting into the sun, and we walk straight from the recessional into portraits while the sky warms up. Epicurean Atlanta, Autograph Collection does not publish a rain plan, so ask for it in writing and walk the backup room on your tour.
The times below are worked out from the sunset in Atlanta on the 15th of each month, with daylight saving included. Move everything earlier in winter and later in June.
| Month | Ceremony | Portraits Begin | Sunset | Blue Hour Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
