How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A small room in a big hotel works best when you also use the rest of the building. I look for the lobby, a staircase or a window for portraits, and photograph the small room before the guests come in so it looks as good as it felt.
A small wedding is a gift for photographs. Everyone fits in the frame, the toasts are personal, and there is time to wander for portraits without leaving guests waiting.
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 The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta
- What is the food and beverage minimum for our date, and what does the package include?
- 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 The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta
The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta 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.
