Buckhead Wedding Venue
Cathedral of Christ the King weddings
The Catholic cathedral on Peachtree Road schedules weddings on Saturdays at noon, 2 pm and 6 pm, with up to three weddings each weekend. Non parishioners can book at the higher rate, and about six months of marriage preparation is required by the Archdiocese. Each party has 75 minutes from the start time to finish the ceremony, photos and cleanup.
Ceremony And Reception Spaces
| Space | Guests | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The Cathedral | Seats up to 600 | Ideal for larger weddings. |
| D'Youville Chapel | Seats 30 and a limited bridal party | No organ or piano, so couples bring their own music. |
How It Photographs
No flash during the ceremony. Shooting is from the choir loft, the side aisles or behind the last guests, never on the altar or center aisle, and the courtyard between the Cathedral and the ministry office is the suggested spot for photos before. Drones and roving cameras are not allowed.

How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
In a church I learn the rules before the day. Many sanctuaries limit where a photographer can stand and whether flash is allowed during the service, so I meet the officiant or the wedding coordinator early and plan the long lens angles from the back and the balcony. The procession, the vows and the walk out are the moments I protect.
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.
Questions To Ask Cathedral of Christ the King
- Can we bring in an outside caterer for a cultural menu, and is there a fee?
- Where can we take portraits, and are any areas off limits on our date?
- What time can the vendors load in, and when does the music have to stop?
- Is there a hotel nearby you work with for out of town guests?
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 Cathedral of Christ the King
Cathedral of Christ the King 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.
