Help for Atlanta Brides and Grooms

by David Diener


I love the meeting new couples their excitement is almost palateble. I just meet with a wonderful couple on Sunday. He was starting a new career in the Atlanta restaurant business and she was starting a new job in January. All I saw was new beginnings. It is so good to see this new couple and the potential they have. The convection to each other they way they support each other and the plans they have for the future. It is nice to see such hope!

I try to help them by offering advice and helpful wedding tips by suggesting sites such as www.atlantaweddingphotographer.info so they can get a list of Atlanta wedding vendors and also try to educate them by checking out the wedding vendors reviews.

They can book a Atlanta wedding photographer or if they book me. I want to take pictures of their Atlanta wedding that captures the hope, excitement and love they have in their hearts. All the wedding vendors want this to be the most special day ever!

If you have any questions I am here to help in any way that I can! Just call me at 404-578-6982 and I am here for you!

Shooting a wedding with Candle Light

by David Diener


Had a great time photographing a wedding at wonderful historic home in Duluth, Georgia. The bride had the romantic idea of using candle light for the ceremony (I do love a challenge). I have just up graded my equipent to the latest Canon 5d camera. The newest cameras these days are faster and smarter and allow you to shoot in lower lighting conditions when you crank up the ASA.

When shooting with this candle light from this wedding you can have some great shots. The lighting is very romantic and dramatic. You can see some examples of the wedding photography at www.atlantaartisticweddings.com. What a great wedding! I love it when brides really push the envelope. To see the shots from the is particular wedding just click here.

Keeping up to date on the latestest technology and trends

by David Diener


As a Atlanta wedding photographer I understand that it is a tough market out there and that I have to be on top of my game. One can not just sit around and live on there laurels. If they do they will be come yesterday's news. Last night I went to a seminar from a professional wedding photographer. His technique was awesome. It is so nice to get a fresh ideas from some one. I was so inspired by his dramatic lighting techniques. Because as we know the meaning of photography is drawing with light! I am looking forward to combining some new ideas to the up and coming weddings that are planned!

Getting the Right DJ - let's make some music!

by David Diener


During my time as a professional wedding photographer I have seen a lot of DJ's. They come in many different sizes and styles. The two things I always tell every couple that I meet and it has always held true. One deligate on your wedding day everyone around you wants to help and make it a great day. The second thing I say is it is your wedding. With that in mind think about what kind of DJ you want.

Think about what kind of music you would like to have at your wedding. There are certine DJ's that specialize in a ceretin kind music. You can get people who specialize in laid back Frank Sinatra or people who have air guitars and play 80's heavy metal. Like I said they come in many different varieties.

There are DJ's that get the crowd going and organize photos. I have recently worked with one of the best last weekend. He helped me organize some great wedding photography group shots and was genuinely wanted the couple to have a great time his name was Tod Peavy.

Can't Dampen Our Spirits!

by David Diener


I love my job!! I just shot a wedding at the Braselton Stover House. If you live in Georgia you know how much rain we have been having. It is just off the charts we have been having flooding through out the Atlanta area.

I just want to share that the wedding that I shot. This couple had the right attitude they were going to get married and the rain was not going to dampen their sprits! You can see the photos of this Atlanta wedding at Atlanta Artistic Weddings.

With some simple adjustments on the camera you can't even tell that it is pouring down rain in this photo.

Make a Rain Plan for your wedding

by David Diener


Today in Atlanta we are having a record amount of rain in short period of time. So I thought it would be a good time to talk about having a rain contention plan for your wedding. After working so many weddings I have seen my share ones effected by rain. The old saying "hope for the best but plan for the worst" is a a good saying because it is true. Most venues I have worked at have always have a back up plan. When working at the Flint house it started to rain and the professionals there turned a outside wedding into a beautiful inside wedding. I have also worked with other professionals such as the ones at the Braselton Stover House. Mary Stover has had many years of experience and a cool head under pressure. Her facility is very conducive all types of weather. As a professional Atlanta wedding photographer I have been trained to be supportive to the couple and to help in any way that I can.

Indian Weddings

by David Diener


I want to say one of the most colorful and beautiful ceremonies is the ones from the Indian culture. Since working at www.atlantaartisticweddings.com I have gotten the honor of photographing Indian weddings and engagement parties. You can see examples of the engagment party I shot by following the link Atlanta Artistic Weddings Indian Engagement Party. At the site you can see the henna Tattoos and the colorful sarongs. It was so great to see everyone dressed in their traditional clothing and celebrating their culture together. As you can tell from the photographs it is a Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream!!!

What to look for in a Church when you are having your wedding

by David Diener

I have done many weddings at many different church locations through out Atlanta and the surrounding areas. The one thing that can be said that everyone will agree on is that they are all different! Each religion, minister, church group and church have different rules about what a person can and can not do. It is important to look over the church's rules and to ask as many questions that you can so there are no supprizes. I have talked to many people who think that when they rent a church then they can do as they please. But churches have very unique and specific rules that everyone has to respect. As I have said before I am (the photographer) not the most important person at the wedding. The most important thing is the ceremony and the couple. I don't use flash because I don't want to take away from the couple of the scanity of the ceremony. I am not going to be the obnoxious wedding photographer going behind you during the ceremony.

As always ask questions and look around at the different churches to have your wedding. I know there is one out there that will suit you, your wedding and your beliefs. If you have any questions please email me at david@atlantaatisticweddings.com or you can also look at google maps to find a church that is close to your reception venue or home.

I was recently asked what I like about doing weddings and I responded everything! I especially love doing weddings at historical locations around this great town Atlanta. I have worked with some great professionals and I have shared them at my site www.atlantaweddingphotographer.com. I have listed DJs, musicians, wedding planers and locations that I thought were great. I have also made a map of some the great locations atwww.atlantaweddingphotographer.info. It is a interactive map showing a photograph from www.atlantaartisticweddings.com and a location of the venue. I have designed the map to help brides and grooms to find a convenient location wedding location around Atlanta.



Some of my favorite locations are the historical venues. As some of you know I have been a full time photographer for different archeology and historic research firms around Atlanta for close to 20 years. I have learned truly appreciate some of the greatest historical sites in the state. My most recent find is the Brasselton Stover House.



You can see images of the facility at their web site at www.braseltonstoverhouse.com. It is located outside of Atlanta in the Braselton Historic District. There you will Mary and Marvin Stover. They are real down home people that will do their best to make your wedding a day to remember. They have recently added a addition to the back of the historic mansion. You can see some photography I shot there at my site www.atlantaartisticweddings.com There are so many interesting places to shot there from the front porch to the side yard with the historical barns. Also the facility has one of the best bridal rooms of any facility I have seen. It is a really under appreciated wedding facility at a great price!
