KTN Ballroom Photos | Atlanta Wedding Photographer
We are over the moon with these KTN Ballroom Photos from Lydia & Duk’s Korean / Western fusion wedding! As an Atlanta wedding photographer, it’s a joy to venture past the city to visit some killer venues when we have the opportunity!
About a week before Lydia & Duk’s wedding, weather reports started rolling in – reporting a crazy snow storm to be expected on the day of the wedding! As the wedding day drew closer and closer, Lydia & Duk remained remarkably calm. We drove into town for the wedding the night before the storms hit so we would be close to the venue in case the roads were bad. When we woke up Saturday morning and looked out the window, we didn’t see much snow, but we did see ICE! Beautiful frosted trees, icicles hanging from the rooftops, all littered with a light sprinkling of snow! The temperatures were forecasted to be below freezing most of the day. While we photographed the getting ready photographs at the venue, the bridesmaids cuddled up in their cozy warm monogrammed robes! After shooting the bridesmaids and groomsmen at the venue, we headed over to the downtown Duluth courthouse area for the first look and bridal party pictures. I can’t believe how brave and fearless Lydia & Duk were among the rest of their bridal party as we all braved the below freezing temperatures. Everyone was in good spirits, happy & excited to witness the couple’s first look! After capturing bridal & bridal party formals downtown, we trekked back to the venue for a couple more photos with the bride and groom. Because of the snow storm, it was expected that there might not be the best guest turn out with the icy roads. However, the couple were delighted when the ceremony started and the majority of the 300 guests had braved the winter elements to witness their union! After the ceremony, there was a DELICIOUS Korean buffet spread, followed soon after by the first dance, bouquet toss, and send off. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I present to you a couple of highlights of the KTN Ballroom photos from Lydia & Duk’s wedding!
This day wouldn’t be possible without this stellar group of vendors!

When Jyll & Kass requested for their engagement session to be shot in and around their home, we were SO EXCITED! As an Atlanta wedding photographer, the opportunity to capture Buckhead engagement photos is such a thrill! It’s so much fun to shoot in the heart of the city. We met at the couple’s condo as a starting point and ventured from there. As we walked down the streets towards their wedding venue, we stopped along the way for some beautiful city shots. We ended the session in the comfort of the couple’s home with their super cuddly canine Ryker! Needless to say, he stole the show! I’ve never met a dog who posed so well for every shot! Below are a couple of highlights from the engagement session as well as a quick interview with the Trendiest Couple of 2016 – Jyll & Kass!
How did you meet?
We met in a bar, both recently single. We are both tall so our eyes locked from across the room. It was not love at first sight, his friends holla’ed at us and were loud but in the end got us to come over and talk to them.
How/ when did you start dating?
I gave him my number after we left the bar and he texted the next day (Sunday) and we went on our first date at Cafe Intermezzo that Tuesday. I don’t think either of us were super nervous.
Tell me about your relationship
Every time I met or interacted with Kass he was genuine, didn’t play games, and was always looking to make me happy. We met in March 2015 and took things kind of slow, but by July 2015 we were already pretty serious. Kass said he loved me first, to which I responded ‘thank you’. I don’t think I expected it so soon. But everything fell into place and we just love being together!
When did you know this person was the one?
I think a year after we started dating we both kinda knew this was it. He started hinting that maybe he would propose and after he started that I was expecting it at almost every turn!
How did the engagement happen?
We were on a vacation to Universal Studios, not the most romantic place, but I really wanted to go for my birthday. He proposed at a near by park that had nice restaurants and a small lake nearby. He was very nervous and I could tell he was acting weird. The whole proposal took 15 seconds and afterward Kass said, that’s it!?!
Last Questions! What’s the one thing about each other you couldn’t live without?
The part that I love about Kass that really sets him apart is how much of a doer he is. I mention something in passing and he is on it to make it happen. And whenever I have had a bad day or don’t feel good, the first thing he does is ask “What can I do to make Bae happy?” So he takes great care of me and our relationship.
Anything else you’d like to share?
We are just so enjoying being engaged and really looking forward to getting married!

Nestled on the historic corner of Peachtree and Ellis, the location is adorned with deep historical significance and contemporary allure, making it a premier event venue in the city.
A Storied Past
The Southern Exchange Ballrooms at 200 Peachtree St. NW have a rich history, originating as the Davison & Douglas department store in 1891. Over the years, the building transformed and flourished amidst Atlanta’s evolving business scene and railroads’ influence. It eventually became Davison-Paxon-Stokes, purchased by R.H. Macy in 1927. The redesign of the store was inspired by Macy’s Herald Square flagship store and was helmed by renowned Atlanta architect Philip Shutze. Today, elements of its luxurious past, such as the marble-floored cosmetics and jewelry area, can be seen in the venue’s Whitehall Ballroom.
