As you know, February is Black History Month! If you follow our blog or social media, you’ll also know that the Atlanta wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings love to dive deep into the rich and diverse history of weddings and the traditions that make them so special and meaningful.

Whether they’re in your bridal party or helping with other details, here are a few personality types you’ll want to surround yourself with on your wedding day!

One thing that every couple has to think about during their wedding is the wedding registry. The registry is an opportunity for couples to reflect on what they really need from their loved ones in order to start their married life off on the right foot. Most couples ask for the essential house and kitchen items that we all need. However, what do you do if you already have those things, or need something different more? Here are some ideas of non-traditional ways to handle your registry!

Engagement photos serve many purposes. They can be used on a Save The Date card or in a wedding announcement in a newspaper. The engagement shoot can also be used as a practice session before the big day so the couple can get to know their photographer beforehand and see previews of what the pictures may look like. Either way, our Atlanta wedding photographers always try to bring their A-game when shooting engagement sessions and below are some poses that help them do just that.

Bridal parties come in all shapes and sizes and they can be tricky to photograph. You have to manage a number of people of all different looks and personalities and make sure they all look stellar. Well, our Atlanta wedding photographers have a few go-to poses they like to use to make sure that the entire bridal party comes through looking their best!

The wedding day is one of the most important days in any persons life. In our previous blog we showcased some poses our Atlanta wedding photographers utilize to ensure the bridal solo photos are perfect. Well, this week I want to walk show off poses that are best suited for the grooms portraits.

The poses below help to ensure the grooms are all that and more!
