Newtown Photography Co.

Newtown Photography Co. is a couple-owned wedding photography business based in Athens, Georgia. Both owners studied photojournalism at the University of Georgia's Grady College, and that training shapes their work. They cover weddings, elopements and engagement sessions around Athens and travel further for the right wedding.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

The team offers a gender-neutral photography experience, so you will not be fitted into assumptions about who stands where or who wears what. Their photojournalistic approach focuses on real moments rather than set poses, which suits couples who want their day recorded as it happened. With two photographers at every package, both of you, and both sides of the family, get proper coverage.

What they offer

• Wedding packages of four, six or eight hours, each with two photographers
• A two-hour elopement package
• Engagement sessions included with wedding packages
• A planning consultation and help with your timeline
• A sneak peek within 48 hours and an online gallery with print release
• Prints, and a custom wooden USB drive with the largest package
• Short videos for social media

How they work

Each booking starts with a consultation, and the team helps you put together a timeline for the day. On the wedding day, the pair work side by side to capture candid moments as well as portraits. Images are edited for color, exposure and sharpness, and you can expect roughly 50 to 100 photos per hour of coverage. The full gallery usually arrives about four weeks after the wedding. Raw, unedited files are not supplied. Many couples book around a year ahead.

Where they cover

They are based in Athens and cover weddings within about 40 miles at no extra travel cost, including venues around Winterville and the wider Athens area. Weddings further away, including Atlanta, are covered with a mileage charge.
