Buckhead Theatre | Atlanta Wedding Venue

/

Earlier this Fall, I was invited by Emily Williams at The Buckhead Theatre to tour the recently remodeled space that many who’ve lived in Atlanta for several years will remember as The Roxy. Those who’ve lived in Atlanta even longer, will realize that the name change to The Buckhead Theatre is a throwback to the venue's original appellation. After a two-year remodel that totally revitalized the interior, the space reopened with a newfound flexibility for wedding/corporate events. Those of you planning an event with an art deco, old theatre twist will be delighted with what you find here.

Check out the photos below and I think you’ll be impressed, as I was, by the beautiful details, opulently ornamented foyer, whimsical plaster detailing, and open spaces you can make your own.

For more information on having your wedding or event at The Buckhead Theatre, please follow the link to their site here.

Gotta love the dressing room area. It's designed for the celebrities who perform at the theatre, but you get to use it if you rent the space for your wedding or corporate event.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.

Sara's Bat Mitzvah | Photography by C Brown Photo

While I was an Associate Professor of Photojournalism at the University of Southern Mississippi, I worked on a long-term documentary project documenting religious diversity in Mississippi. I continue to be passionate about documenting the amazing religious pluralism evident in this country. Near the end of October, I finally had the chance to photograph my first bat mitzvah--Sara's Bat Mitzvah celebration. The rehearsal and religious ceremony took place at Bet Haverim. Rabbi Josh Lesser, along with Sara's grandparents, who are both cantors, helped Sara prepare for the day when she would accept the responsibility for following the mitzvot, the commandments.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the rehearsal:

I've had the distinct pleasure of documenting the weddings of several friends I met while working on a Master's of Divinity at Candler School of Theology. The latest Candler wedding took place in early November. The bride and groom, Candace and J, both Candler grads, chose Grace United Methodist for their ceremony and The Solarium in Oakhurst for their reception. Friends and family helped Candace and J create a wedding and reception perfect for them. Here are a few of our favorite photos from the big day.

Allegra and Jeff's Mud Crusade Engagement Safari

I can't believe it's taken me so long to blog about what could be the most awesome engagement safari ever. Thanks Allegra and Jeff for inviting us to document your Mud Crusade Run. A Mud Run, for those who've never had the opportunity to attend or compete in one, consists of a group of people running a course covered with obstacles and pools of mud, barbed wire and fire pits. Here are some of our favorite photos of Allegra and Jeff competing in the Mud Crusade that took place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this Fall.

Lauren and Adam's Urban Atlanta Engagement Safari

/

Talk about a fun engagement session! We started at the Krog Street Tunnel, moved on to The Corner Tavern for a game of pool, and ended at the King of Pops Concert in the park behind the Masquerade. Lauren drives through the tunnel to work every day. The corner tavern is a favorite hangout. And music is a passion for both Lauren and Adam -- so the concert was a great choice. Everyone enjoyed the popsicles, as well as the music.

Second Quarter Award Winners from the Wedding Photojournalist Association

/

I was delighted to receive an e-mail from the Wedding Photojournalist Association with news that I had won two awards for the second quarter of 2012. The first award was in the category Speeches and Toasts. That photo was taken at Maggie and Tim's wedding at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I had my camera focused on the bride and groom and their parents while they listened to the toasts of friends and family. The second award was in the category Ceremony and was taken at a beach ceremony on Long Beach, Mississippi. The groom dipped the bride when the minister said, "You may kiss the bride" and I clicked away.

Here are the two award-winners:
