How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A venue like this has its own character, and I plan around it. I walk the space before the day, find where the light is best for portraits, and agree with the venue team where photo and film can stand during the big moments.
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 where you will get ready. A clean, bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look like a magazine story, and it saves time on the day.

Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Buckhead Theatre by SCANA Energy
Buckhead Theatre by SCANA Energy 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 Buckhead 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.
