We are still over the moon about Nadia & Fayaz’s fairytale – the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North wedding photos!
Filled with Afghan wedding traditions, plenty of Afghan wedding dances, and so much love, this wedding was one for the books!
Love, love, LOVED the gorgeous, modern chandeliers at this Westin Perimeter’s ballroom, the purple and yellow wedding uplighting, the silver chiavari chairs, the elegant tall centerpieces with flowers/ florals everywhere, and the floating candle tablescapes! Everything was simply magical.
Below are a couple of highlight photos & pictures from the day – including portraits with the bride and groom, portraits with the couple and their bridal party, the ballroom at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North, beautiful wedding decor, multi-tiered wedding cake, the bride & groom in their SECOND set of outfits, and some solo portraits of the bride!

Ventanas Atlanta: A Photographer’s Dream Destination for Captivating Wedding Moments
Ventanas Atlanta, with its panoramic views of the city skyline, has become a sought-after venue for couples looking to tie the knot in style. As a wedding photography studio, we’ve had the privilege of capturing numerous moments at this iconic location, and each time, we’re left in awe of its beauty and the unique backdrop it provides.
Why Ventanas Atlanta Stands Out
Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Ventanas offers a rooftop setting that is unparalleled. The venue is nestled right next to the renowned Atlanta Aquarium, making it a central spot for celebrations. But what truly sets it apart is the breathtaking view. As the sun sets, the city lights come alive, providing a mesmerizing backdrop for photos.
A Venue That Speaks Volumes
From the modern contemporary hexagonal-shaped arch, handcrafted by the bride’s father, to the stunning staircase overlooking the ceremony space, every corner of Ventanas screams elegance. The exterior-facing walls made entirely of glass ensure that the magnificent views of Atlanta are always in sight, making it a photographer’s dream.
A Glimpse into a Ventanas Wedding
During one of our recent weddings, we had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous couple at Ventanas.
The day began with our bride and her bridesmaids getting ready at the Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta Downtown, which is conveniently connected to Ventanas.
The bridesmaids, dressed in classic black gowns, added a touch of sophistication to the day.
Our radiant bride was the epitome of grace! Her bouquet, a blend of burgundy, pink, and white, was surprisingly made of silk flowers, yet looked incredibly lifelike – the perfect color palette for this fall themed wedding.
As for our groom and his groomsmen, their entry was nothing short of dapper. Their candid shot, walking across the street to Centennial Park, was one of the many highlights of the day.
The ceremony, held against the backdrop of the city skyline, was a sight to behold. The hexagonal arch, combined with the setting sun, created a magical atmosphere.

LOOK. AT. THAT. VIEW!!!!! THIS is the reason brides & grooms book Ventanas!
Ventanas – An Atlanta Rooftop Wedding Venue
Ventanas also had a staircase overlooking the ceremony space! We got to climb up there during the ceremony to get a couple of quick birds eye view shots of the entire wedding!
Everyone looked so classy in their all black attire! Loved the pop of red/ burgundy from the silk flowers! The end result was stunning.
Sunset Wedding Photos at Ventanas, Atlanta
Once we wrapped up photos from the ceremony space, we moved upstairs to the helipad overlooking the city skyline! Good thing no one was afraid of heights!
As it started to get darker and darker, we had to work quickly with our couple to capture their couples creative photos before we lost all light!
Night Time Wedding Reception Photos at Ventanas
Candace with Smooth as Butter weddings really outdid herself with these beautiful table scapes!
The cake was by Frosted Pumpkin Cakes! We couldn’t get enough of these incredible night time city skyline views.
The cake cutting was also poised in front of the gorgeous night time city skyline views of Atlanta!

In Conclusion
For couples considering Ventanas Atlanta for their big day, or for those looking for a photographer familiar with the venue, the photos speak for themselves. The blend of urban sophistication with timeless elegance makes Ventanas Atlanta a top choice for weddings. And as a wedding & portrait photography studio, capturing moments at such a venue is nothing short of a dream!

Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center Wedding Pictures
We had a blast with Amber & Ronald this past summer! Below are a couple of fun highlights from the day.
The whole day’s events took place at the Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center in Atlanta, GA!
Ronald’s wedding party attendants kicked off the morning with a celebratory round of champagne!
Getting ready is hard work! There is so much attention to detail!
Ronald wasn’t nervous at all!
Once Ronald & his wedding party attendants were fully dressed, we went down to the hotel lobby bar to get some awesome group portraits! Luckily, the lobby was gorgeous and there weren’t many patrons there! We got to shoot in a lot of really great spots!
In this photo below, we added an additional speedlight modified by a super large umbrella to make the light super soft and perfect for portraits!
They requested a shot next to this classic style car! Such a cool piece of history.
Once we finished up with the guys, we head over to the girls! This photo below was shot with just beautiful natural lighting! 😍
And we absolutely loved the custom hanger Amber had created for her special day! Such a great personal touch.
And of course, we’ve got to get all the details!
Cheers to the new Mrs! What a fun crew!
A couple more creative details shots while we waited for the ladies to get dressed!
Amber was all smiles all day!
Once everyone was fully dressed, we ran back down to that lobby again! We made sure the guys were long gone so the bride & groom wouldn’t see each other before their first look!
This particular image below was a request from the bridesmaids – they wanted to replicate the front cover image from the movie Bridesmaids! Absolutely love all the attitude here!
After we finished up our portraits with the ladies, it was time for the first look between Amber & Ronald!!! It was a rainy day outside, so we found a great place inside to keep the bride and groom nice & dry!
Ronald was full of so much emotion! It’s so hard not to cry ourselves when we’re capturing moments like this!
His reaction did not disappoint!
Such a sweet & tender moment between these two!
Had to get some shots with this awesome staircase! Amber & Ronald were too cute!
What you don’t see in these pictures is Kyle hiding around the corner and wielding a massive umbrella to light up our subject here!
For this particular shot, we’re going for something a bit more dramatic! We love drama (when it’s in photos that is!)
This is a single light set up without any modifiers directly behind our couple! We love the way it captures & lights up that veil!
Amber & Ronald were all smiles that day!
We are suckers for large architectural style / environmental style portraits! The bigger the space, the better! It helps to paint a fuller picture of the story that day.
And then we finished up their couples creative portraits back at the bar! Loved all the decor & lights & fancy vases they had set up here!
After the couple’s creative portraits segment of the day, we headed off to the ceremony & reception locations to start capturing all the details before the ceremony began & the guests started arriving.
Below are the containers of sand used in the sand pouring ceremony to signify a unifying of families. We added in a quick constant light to this image just to get a nice pop from the elements below. Love the colors they chose for the sand!
They had such a beautiful welcome sign for their guests!
We absolutely adored their cake topper! I believe the cake topper was custom created for their wedding! Love all the details! Not Your Nana’s Bakery did a phenomenal job with this one!
A nice close up shot of some of the table centerpieces before the candles were lit! Love the vibrancy of the crystals/ rocks in these vases! Definitely a nice way to add some ambience to your wedding decor.
And of course no wedding is complete without a coffee station to keep your guests (and your Photo Team) caffeinated! It’s a great way to ensure the party keeps going! Also loved all the different tea options they had for non coffee drinkers!
Absolutely loved all the up lighting! I believe these were supplied by their DJ – Kristina Murray with Atlanta Premiere Entertainment! The reception hall looked absolutely gorgeous! Loved all these vibrant colors!

After heading out from the ceremony at the IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ATLANTA, this couple took the reception over to the Emory Conference Center. And what a reception it was! Not only were we impressed by the beautiful courtyard during their bridal portraits, we LOVED the gorgeous ballroom set up for the reception! These Emory Conference Center wedding photos were nothing short of jaw-dropping beautiful.

And such a gorgeous wedding cake!!! Fresh flowers really do make some of the prettiest cake decor.
And THIS. THIS DESSERT TABLE. Divine. All of it. Flowers. And chocolate flowers. And more chocolate.
We love it when our couples are so thoughtful and think of every last little thing their guests might need!
Can’t get over these gorgeous table centerpieces. The florist really outdid herself! SO pretty!
