Hire Your Cobb County Courthouse Wedding Photographer First

Unless you have a very special date in mind, it is highly recommended to hire your Cobb County courthouse wedding photographer first to ensure the best availability. Many couples have found it beneficial to secure their courthouse wedding photographer before finalizing other details.

Current Cobb County Courthouse Wedding Ceremony Schedule

Cobb County Magistrate Court currently publishes fixed group ceremony times rather than a traditional private wedding schedule. Ceremonies are held at 6:00 PM Monday through Thursday and at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM Friday through Sunday and on county holidays.

If you need to obtain your marriage license on the same weekday as your ceremony, Cobb County instructs couples to arrive at the Probate Court Licensing Division by 4:30 PM.⁠⁠

Based on our firsthand experience, Cobb County has not generally assigned individual ceremony appointment times. Court procedures can change, so review the current Cobb County wedding ceremony information before finalizing your photography timeline.

Obtaining Your Cobb County Marriage License

Marriage licenses are processed through the Cobb County Probate Court, located at:

32 Waddell StreetMarietta, GA 30090

Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

The marriage-license office and the Magistrate Court wedding ceremony are related but separate parts of the process. Obtaining a marriage license does not mean your ceremony has automatically been scheduled.

Georgia residents may apply for a marriage license in any Georgia county. If neither applicant is a Georgia resident, the license must be obtained in the county where the ceremony will take place.

Review the Cobb County marriage-license requirements before visiting the court so you have the current identification, documentation, and payment information.⁠⁠

Guest and Photography Policies

As of September 5, 2026, Cobb County’s publicly accessible ceremony information does not clearly state a numerical guest limit or a specific policy for outside professional photographers.

Review the current court instructions associated with your ceremony before finalizing your guest list and photography plans. We’ll plan your courthouse and Marietta Square portraits around the locations and photography access permitted for your ceremony.

Photography Tips for Cobb County Courthouse Weddings

Having a skilled courthouse wedding photographer can make all the difference in capturing the beauty of the Cobb County Courthouse. Here are some expert tips:

Best Times for Photos

Schedule your ceremony for early morning (sunrise) or late afternoon (sunset) to take advantage of the beautiful, soft natural light. Avoid solar noon when the sun is highest in the sky for the best outdoor photos.

Photo Spots

While the Cobb County Courthouse provides a dignified setting for your ceremony, some of the best photo opportunities can be found around the courthouse in the downtown Marietta area. Capture the essence of your special day with portraits featuring the charming streets, rustic brick backgrounds, and vibrant murals of Marietta Square. We take great care to position photos to minimize unwanted elements and highlight the unique character of the area.

For more examples from these exact spots, browse our Marietta Courthouse Wedding Photos gallery.

3 Reasons Why We Love Photographing Cobb County Courthouse Weddings/Elopements on Marietta Square

1. The Marietta Sign & Surrounding Murals

Marietta Square has some cool artwork around that makes for the perfect backdrop for your elopement/wedding photos! If you want something more urban with bright pops of color, this will be your jam! This Marietta Mural sign is right next to the train tracks.

2. The Rustic Brick Backgrounds

If you want rustic brick backgrounds, Marietta Square has TONS of opportunities for various colors of painted brick throughout the downtown square area. It’s hard to move in a certain direction and NOT bump into a brick wall!

3. The Gazebo

The gazebo in Marietta Square is in the heart of the square! It’s a popular photo location. If you want your wedding photos to include this iconic gazebo, it’s wise to schedule your photo session at a time of day when the square is less busy! On a typical weekend, it’s not uncommon for there to be a line to take photos in this spot! For least busiest times, we typically recommend weekday sessions before 5pm (and avoiding the lunch hour rush!).

Micro Wedding/ Elopement FAQ's

Can I see a full price menu?

 While basic pricing info can be found on our website, exact pricing fluctuates based on studio availability, time of year, & required travel (if necessary).

To provide you with the most accurate pricing for your day, you will be asked to schedule a quick 15 minute phone call to discuss your exact needs. We may even create a custom quote designed specifically for your day. (WhatsApp calling also available for those outside of the USA.)

Photography is a huge decision - we want to do our best to provide you with the most accurate information for your day.

Who will be my photographer(s)?

Our micro wedding/ elopement collections include a Photo Team comprised of a Primary and a Secondary photographer, or a single Primary photographer. Assigned Photo Team pairings include:

  • Kyle + Associate Photographer
  • Jaimie Dee + Associate Photographer
  • Kyle + Jaimie Dee
  • 2 Associate Photographers

Single Primary photographers may include Kyle, Jaimie Dee, or an Associate Photographer based on studio availability.

Contact the studio directly for your Photo Team availability.

Learn more about your photographers here.

How many photos do I get from my wedding?

With one to two photographers included in every micro wedding/ elopement photography package, we average 100 – 150 images per hour.  For example – for a standard 4 hour intimate/ micro wedding, we typically deliver 400 – 600 images.  For a 120 minute elopement, we typically deliver 200 - 300 images. With fewer guests in attendance and fewer details to photograph, you can expect to receive fewer images on the spectrum.  With more guests and more details to photograph, you can expect to receive more images.

Do I get ALL of the photos from my wedding?

Prior to delivering your wedding photography end product, we remove duplicate images, test photos, blurry photos, and any other images that might dilute the quality of the overall end product.  The end product we deliver averages 100-150 images per hour. (Learn more about our Editing & Post Production Process here)

What photography equipment do you use?

We use all the photography equipments!  Haha, but seriously we bring whatever equipment we need to get the job done and then some.  With camera & equipment rentals available to photographers all throughout the United States (and probably the world), we can also rent additional equipment at any time if a particular job requires equipment we don’t already own.

Do you include videography services?

As we are primarily a wedding photography studio, we specialize in creating the best possible photography for your wedding day.  Although we do not currently offer videography as a service, we include a Preferred Vendors List (videographers included) to all of our booked wedding clients.

Do you have insurance?

Yes.  We have general liability insurance and equipment insurance. We are happy to provide proof of insurance if your venue requires it.

How long have you been photographing weddings?

Jaimie Dee Photography was established in 2008! Depending on your assigned wedding day photographers, you will typically have between 10 - 30 years of combined experience on your Photo Team. (Learn more about Jaimie Dee Photography's background & experience here)

Do you have any elopements or full weddings we can view?

Yepp.  Check out the blog here.  You can see all of our latest weddings there.  Be sure to also check out the extended slideshows that happen to accompany most of our blog posts as well.

Have you photographed at my wedding venue before?

Jaimie Dee Photography was established in 2008. If your wedding venue is in the metro Atlanta area, there is a high likelihood we've been to your venue before. (You can see previous venues we've worked at here - keep in mind, this is not a full conclusive list) In the event we have not photographed your venue in the past, (or you happen to be planning a wedding out of state, or outside the USA) we are happy to send samples of previous work from similar styled weddings. These previous wedding samples should help to offer insight for lighting conditions & general shooting styles for any given venue type. On the wedding day, we also typically arrive early to scout your location & check current lighting conditions.

Do you offer any discounts?

There are very few circumstances in which we offer discounts.  However, in addition to our typical Wedding Photography Collections, we offer alternative pricing for weekday Courthouse & Intimate weddings (Monday-Thursday).  We also offer alternative pricing for non-wedding day bridal portrait sessions.  We do also offer value-added specials from time to time as part of our Consultation Booking Special.

My wedding venue is very dark – Do you bring additional lighting?

YES!  We bring…. ALL OF THE LIGHTS….. (Rihanna, anyone? 😜).  On camera flashes, off camera flashes, and even video lights that act as personal spot lights (so you can ….. shine bright like a diamond…..😝).   We bring lighting equipment to prepare for just about any situation that may or may not arise.  And on the off chance your venue is a dark church or chapel that doesn’t permit additional lighting, we photograph with professional grade equipment that specializes in low light situations.

Do you edit ALL of my wedding photos?

Yes & no! All of the images you receive (100-150 images per hour) are corrected for color & exposure – meaning the images will be brightened or darkened as necessary and colors are edited to look as true to life as possible with a little added pop. We then do a natural beauty style edit that includes subtle skin smoothing, teeth whitening, and eye brightening – including the under eye area. We also do our best to light and pose our couples correctly while photographing to create the most flattering images for every skin type, body size and shape – this should minimize the need for additional retouching. Our goal while photographing is to create the most flattering images that shouldn’t require additional retouching most of the time. (Learn more about our Editing & Post Production here)

Do you offer additional retouching? Like SUPER skin smoothing, ULTRA teeth whitening, body shaping, object removal, etc?

Your images are initially edited to look as true to life as possible with a little added pop (learn more about the process here). If you require additional custom retouching, we include this service complimentary for art pieces commissioned during your Ordering Premiere (learn more here). Your commissioned art pieces will be retouched to your level of specification to the best of our abilities, and even tinted or toned to perfectly match any room you wish to place your artwork in. This complimentary retouching service is also available for all images placed in your wedding album.

Additional Custom Retouching is currently only available for art pieces commissioned at your Order Premiere and currently unavailable as a stand alone service. If you have additional questions on this, feel free to contact us.

Do you back up our images?

Yaaaaaaas.  And our backups have backups!  While photographing images on the wedding day, our professional grade cameras record identical images to two separate cf/ sd cards simultaneously.  Upon returning to our studio from the wedding day, images are immediately uploaded to our local server as well as well as backed up by the cloud to an offsite server.  The cf/ sd cards are then stored in a fire proof/ waterproof secure vault on site until the images are shared with you in an online photo gallery.  At any given time there are 2-3 copies of your photos stored on and offsite. (Learn more about the Backup & Post Production Process here)

What happens if we cancel or reschedule our wedding?

In order to reserve your date, we require a signed wedding contract and a retainer payment.  This ensures your Photo Team does not accept other photography work on your date.  In the event of a cancellation or rescheduled wedding, our studio suffers a loss.  If this cancellation/ rescheduling occurs 60 days  or more before your wedding, liquidated damages include your retainer payment.  If this cancellation/ rescheduling occurs within 60 days or less of your wedding, then liquidated damaged include all monies paid. Contact us for additional questions.

Is 2 hours really enough for a courthouse wedding?

For many courthouse couples, yes - 2 hours typically covers the ceremony and a short portrait session before or after.

Do elopement packages include an album?

Not by default - albums are included in full wedding collections, but you can add one after delivery if you want a keepsake from your elopement.

We're not photogenic and feel weird about posing - will that be a problem for a small ceremony?

No - guided, natural-feeling posing is part of every session regardless of size. You'll never be left to figure out where to stand on your own.

Do you know the permission requirements for Georgia courthouse weddings?

Yes - some counties, including Fulton County, require an advance photography permission form. We'll point you to the right paperwork and walk you through what's needed, but you'll need to submit it yourself before your ceremony. Full details are in our Elopement Guide.
