The Atlanta History Center aims to provide a meaningful experience for all visitors. Photography and videography for personal use with a camera or cell phone are welcome; however, personal photo shoots (e.g., engagements, weddings, family portraits, headshots, maternity, quinceañeras, and similar) including use of props or tripods, along with sketching and painting must be pre-scheduled through our Private Events department and may incur a fee.
We reserve the right to ask visitors to cease photography or filming if it disrupts others’ experiences or appears solely for photoshoot purposes. Unauthorized photography of Atlanta History Center staff is prohibited.
