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.
A wedding this size needs a plan more than it needs more cameras. With hundreds of guests, photo and film work as one team, we split the room before the grand entrance, and we agree on the family photo list ahead of time so nobody waits in a hallway.
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.
Questions To Ask JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead
- Can we bring in an outside caterer for a cultural menu, and is there a fee?
- Is there a suite for getting ready, and does it have a big window?
- Where in the hotel can we take portraits, and are any public areas off limits on our date?
- What time can the vendors load in, and when does the music have to stop?
- How many rooms can we hold in a block for out of town guests, and until when?
Send me the answers and your date, and I will plan the photographs and the film around them. Check your date.
Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead
JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead is an indoor venue, so the light inside stays the same all day and the sunset is a bonus, not a deadline. I plan twenty minutes right at sunset for the two of you outside the doors, and we time the toasts or the first dance so nobody misses dinner.
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.
