Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church weddings
For a small wedding, ask about the Chapel, which the church prices separately from the Sanctuary. A Baptist church on Peachtree Road that books weddings for members and non members at different rates. Couples can hold the ceremony and then a reception in the Fellowship Hall, which comes with linens, dishes, silverware and glassware. A staff minister usually officiates, and outside officiants need approval.

How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A small chapel is about the light through the windows and the walk down a short aisle. I check the rules on flash and where I may stand, then plan family photographs on the steps outside right after the ceremony.
Ask where you will get ready. A bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look their best, and at a small wedding it is often where the best candid photographs happen.
Questions To Ask Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church
- Is the small package allowed on our day of the week, and how far ahead can we book it?
- Does the guest limit count the officiant and the photographer?
- Where can we take portraits, and is the space private to us the whole time?
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 Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church
Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church 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.
