Hotel at Avalon Engagement Session | Alpharetta, GA

We love an engagement session that feels like a night out, and this one at the Hotel at Avalon in Alpharetta was exactly that. A black suit, a white satin dress, and a hotel full of fun places to take pictures.

A session like this is a great choice if you want something different from the usual park or garden. Getting dressed up makes it feel like an event, and a hotel gives you a lot of different looks in one place. Having so much of the session indoors also means you don’t have to worry as much about the weather.

At the Bar

We started at the bar in the hotel lobby, with its dark wood, red leather and warm lamps. It felt like a scene from an old movie. The low light in a spot like this looks great in color, and even better in black and white, so we did both.

The Luggage Cart

Then we borrowed a luggage cart in the hallway, because how often do you get to do that? It got a few laughs, and those are the moments we love most.

The Elevator

The elevator at the Hotel at Avalon has big black and white flowers on the walls, and we knew we had to use it. The bright walls behind them and the dark doors in front made it feel like its own little studio.

Out at Avalon

We finished outside as the light got soft, walking the tree lined streets at Avalon and stopping at the patios and storefronts along the way. Going from the dark bar to the green trees gave us two very different looks in one session. Just to note, you need a media pass to shoot at Avalon, so plan ahead if you’re thinking about a session here.
