As a wedding photographer, the Fox Theatre is one of my favorite places in the world to shoot! It is a stunning theater and a true piece of Atlanta history. It is also where I proposed to my wife, so it has a special place in my heart. Let me tell you a little more about why the Fox is an awesome wedding venue!

The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta’s premier venues for live entertainment. Opening in 1929, the Fox was originally conceived as a home for Atlanta’s Shriners organization. Due to financial burdens, the Shriners leased their beautiful auditorium to William Fox, a movie mogul who had launched his empire by building theatres across the country. Word about the magnificent new Fox Theatre movie palace quickly spread. Its striking red-carpet entryway and ornate gilt work, soaring turreted ceilings and stained-glass windows, all leading to a vast cobalt “sky” with a sea of twinkling stars, were the perfect accent for the glamorous productions audiences lined up to see. The Fox was so beloved that when the Fox fell on hard times in 1974, the whole community raised funds to restore and “Save The Fox” and in 1975, the new owners Atlanta Landmarks (now called Fox Theatre, Inc.) reopened the doors after restoration was complete. It has since transformed into a premiere live entertainment venue, showcasing musicals, artists, and classic cinema. You can find the full history of the Fox on their website here.
