Our Vision

In 2005, David Diener, a professional Atlanta wedding photographer, started Atlanta Artistic Weddings so he could provide a wedding photography service where the bride and groom, and their love story, come first.  David understands that a wedding is all about the love the couple shares, as well as the support from the family and friends who surround them. David is also well versed in film photography. His down-home attitude and artistic eye will ensure he captures the candid moments of your wedding without being intrusive, letting the love and joy of the big day shine through in your photos. You can guarantee that David’s old school work ethic and his photojournalistic style, paired with a combination of formal and photo documentary style shots with his own artistic flare, will capture your wedding with photographs, wedding images, wedding albums and wedding portraits you and your family will be proud to share and cherish forever! Whether it’s a micro wedding, elopement, or full ceremony, this milestone and the couple’s commitment to each other deserves to be celebrated!

David has been honored to photograph some of the most wonderful wedding ceremonies in Atlanta and has absolutely loved working with some amazing couples and their families.
