West Midtown Wedding Venue
Summerour Studio weddings
A refurbished Westside warehouse entered through a walled courtyard planted to feel like a Tuscan villa. Inside, curved ceilings, reused industrial pieces and a carved wood staircase modeled on Michelangelo's library give the room its signature. The mezzanine looks down on the courtyard for toasts or a lounge.
Ceremony And Reception Spaces
| Space | Guests | Notes |

| Courtyard | 115 for a courtyard ceremony | A walled courtyard the venue compares to a rustic Tuscan villa, which guests pass through on arrival. |

How It Photographs

How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A big open room is a blank page, so the light is whatever we bring and whatever the windows give us. I photograph the room before the guests come in, then bounce my light off the ceiling during dinner so faces stay soft and the brick, wood or plaster keeps its color.
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.
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 Summerour Studio
- 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.
Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Summerour Studio
Summerour Studio 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. Summerour Studio 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
