Planning an Atlanta Engagement Session


  • Timing - if using these photos for invites/save the dates specifically, booking your session 6-9 months prior to wedding date is recommended.
  • Consider the Seasons - winter sessions maybe best indoors, if you prefer a garden vibe, spring may be ideal. It's never too early to schedule a session if the timing best fits your needs!
  • Weekday Advantage - most weekdays are drastically less crowded at most locations, and some locations may only allow weekday sessions.
  • Permit Research - Several locations require photography permits prior to your session as well as any applicable fees.


As Atlanta wedding photographers, we are familiar with many locations all over Georgia and can help guide you with what may best fit your vision. Your engagement photos should reflect your unique relationship and style - whether that's urban luxury, natural landscapes or historic charm.
