Open Air In Buckhead

Every venue on this page publishes an outdoor space on its own site, from a hotel terrace to garden lawns. Outdoor space changes the look of the photographs more than anything else.

How I Would Use It

Put the ceremony or the cocktail hour outside, keep dinner inside, and plan portraits for the hour before sunset. Look up your month on the planning page.

Ask About Rain

Ask which indoor room holds the ceremony if the weather turns, and when the call is made.
