Fox Theatre weddings
The historic Peachtree Street theatre rents its ballrooms, lobbies and, on rare dates, the auditorium for weddings from small ceremonies to receptions for hundreds. The Egyptian Ballroom is the showpiece, and the Grand Salon next door opens onto a terrace for a ceremony or cocktail hour. The newer Marquee Club looks down on the famous marquee and has a rooftop conservatory.

How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A venue that was built for something else, a theater, a rooftop or an old warehouse, has corners nobody else uses. I walk it before the day and pick three portrait spots that only exist there.
This venue publishes outdoor space, so I would plan around the sun. A ceremony in full midday sun means squinting guests and hard shadows, so look up the sunset for your month first and work back from it. Even if dinner is inside, twenty quiet minutes outside before sunset make the photographs couples frame.
A long view is worth planning for. I would find the spot where the view opens up behind you, then come back to it right at sunset and again at blue hour, about twenty minutes later, when the sky turns deep blue.
A big outdoor wedding needs a plan more than more cameras. Photo and film work as one team, we agree on the family photo list ahead of time, and we place ourselves before the procession so nobody blocks the aisle.
Ask where you will get ready. A bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look their best, and if it is close to the ceremony spot it saves time on a hot day.
Questions To Ask Fox Theatre
- If it rains, which indoor room holds the ceremony, and when do we have to decide?
- Is there a suite for getting ready, and does it have a big window?
- Where is the shade at the time of our ceremony, and can the chairs face away from the sun?
- What time does outdoor music have to stop, and is the space private to us all day?
- Which areas of the grounds can we use for portraits, and when is the last call for the rain plan?
Send me the answers and your date, and I will plan the photographs and the film around them. Check your date.
What Fox Theatre Publishes
The Story Of Fox Theatre
The Fox was conceived in 1928 as a headquarters for Atlanta's Shriners, but the cost was too great and they leased it to movie executive William Fox. It opened on Christmas Day 1929 with a premiere of Steamboat Willie. Fox's company went bankrupt in 1932 and the building was auctioned, though it kept operating for decades. The theatre closed in 1974 and faced demolition until Atlanta Landmarks launched the Save The Fox campaign, which raised $3 million mostly from community gifts. It reopened in 1975.

Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Fox Theatre
Fox Theatre lists outdoor space, so the ceremony time is the one decision that changes every photograph. I like a ceremony that ends a little more than an hour before sunset. The light is softer, guests are not squinting into the sun, and we walk straight from the recessional into portraits while the sky warms up. Fox Theatre does not publish a rain plan, so ask for it in writing and walk the backup room on your tour.
The times below are worked out from the sunset in Atlanta on the 15th of each month, with daylight saving included. Move everything earlier in winter and later in June.
| Month | Ceremony | Portraits Begin | Sunset | Blue Hour Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April | 6:25 PM | 7:10 PM | 8:10 PM | 8:40 PM |
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| June | 7:05 PM | 7:50 PM | 8:50 PM | 9:20 PM |
| September | 6:00 PM | 6:45 PM | 7:45 PM | 8:15 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
| November | 3:50 PM | 4:35 PM | 5:35 PM | 6:05 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
