    This historic wooden bridge is a favorite for its rustic appeal. It provides a cozy and intimate setting that adds a touch of nostalgia to your photos. The way light filters through the slats is especially captivating during golden hour.

    Stone Mountain’s trails are perfect for couples seeking a more natural, organic feel to their photos. The dense woods and sun-dappled paths create a whimsical backdrop.

Tips for a Successful Stone Mountain Engagement Session

1. Time Your Session Wisely

To take full advantage of Stone Mountain’s beauty, plan your session for early morning or late afternoon. The soft, diffused light during these times highlights the park’s textures and colors while creating flattering tones for your photos.

2. Dress for the Occasion

Comfort is key, especially if you plan to explore multiple areas of the park. Choose outfits that complement the park’s natural tones—think earthy colors or soft pastels. Don’t forget comfortable footwear if you’ll be hiking or walking between locations.

3. Secure Necessary Permits

Stone Mountain Park requires permits for professional photo sessions. Be sure to check their guidelines and apply for permits in advance to ensure a smooth and hassle-free session. For more details, visit their official site.

4. Bring Props and Personal Touches

Adding personal details, such as a picnic setup, blankets, or even your pet, can make your engagement photos more meaningful. Just be sure to pack lightly and keep your props portable.

5. Incorporate the Seasons

Stone Mountain Park transforms with the seasons, offering something special year-round. Spring brings vibrant blooms, summer offers lush greenery, fall showcases stunning foliage, and winter provides a peaceful, minimalist aesthetic.

Local Venues and Businesses as Photo Backdrops

In addition to the park itself, consider incorporating a local business or venue into your session. For example, South Kitchen + Bar in nearby Athens offers a chic indoor setting with a unique vibe, perfect for couples who want a mix of outdoor and indoor shots. If you plan to include a local business, be sure to contact them in advance for permission.

"We had a great experience! Jaimie guided us through our engagement session with such ease. She spent time prior over the phone and via email educating us on how to not only pick our outfits but how to make our poses not ‘pose-y’. Our engagement shoot seemed to only last a few minutes, it was never awkward and I know both my fiance and I loved it. Jaimie gave us direction while still allowing our personalities to shine through! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!"

"Jaimie and Kyle did our engagement and wedding photos. They were phenomenal to work with and we absolutely loved how our photos turned out. They were super transparent and paid a lot of attention to detail through with the whole planning process and delivered amazing photos from both of our sessions. They were easygoing, laid back, fun to work with, and relatable, which helped us relax and enjoy the sessions even more. I would absolutely recommend if you need a photographer in the ATL area."

"We had the best experience with Jaimie taking our engagement pictures at Piedmont Park! My fiancé and I are clueless in front of the camera but Jaimie guided us the whole way through and it was much less uncomfortable than we were expecting! ... She was so well organized throughout the entire process of scheduling, preparing, and executing the engagement photos and it was very evident that she has a lot of experience... So glad we chose Jaimie for our engagement photos!"
