How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
In a hotel ballroom I arrive before the guests and photograph the room while it is still perfect, the tables, the flowers and the glow of the chandeliers. Once the doors open it never looks that clean again. During the reception I bounce my light off the ceiling, so faces stay soft and the room keeps its warm color instead of a flat flash look.
Height and a view are what make a city wedding look like a city wedding. I would find the spot where the buildings line up behind you, then come back to it at blue hour, about twenty minutes after sunset, when the city lights come on and the sky is still deep blue.
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.
This hotel says it hosts cultural weddings. My team has trained for years for large, multi day weddings, including Indian and South Asian celebrations, and we plan each event, from the baraat to the last dance, with your planner and your family.
Ask for a getting ready suite with a big window and some open floor. A clean, bright room 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 Atlanta Marriott Marquis
- What is the food and beverage minimum for our date, and what does the package include?

Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Atlanta Marriott Marquis
Atlanta Marriott Marquis 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 Atlanta 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.
