With 3,200 acres of natural beauty, the options are endless at Stone Mountain for a dazzling Atlanta engagement photoshoot. While the top of Stone Mountain lets you enjoy the sweeping views of the trees and a gorgeous sunset, you can get the amazing pictures to add to your save-the-dates. The mountain which is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock is a great place for golden hour photography as well. You could explore the wooded paths and covered bridges, or wade barefoot in a beautiful rushing creek for a dreamy engagement photoshoot. However, if you plan to hit this location for your post-wedding photography, we would recommend you to leave a bit early for this place so that you can include the bliss of golden hour in your surreal post-wedding photos.
