The Chimneys at Big Canoe

I would say this post is a bit over due.  The image above was made late Fall of 2009, shortly after my friends at Talk Of The Town Catering became the exclusive caterers for Big Canoe.  I had been asked by Talk Of The Town to come to Big Canoe and shoot some fresh images for their upcoming print campaign to promote the property.  My original intent was to make a post shortly after the images went to print, but schedule conflicts and other projects put this post on hold until now.  In the beginning, I was just supposed to shoot the “Chimneys” building at dusk, but, a tour of the surrounding properties expanded the project a bit.

In addition to the Chimneys, Big Canoe also has a beautiful church.  While waiting for the sun to set, I made some images of the exterior and interior.  I could not pass the opportunity up to get these shots, it was just too pretty!

In addition to the Chimneys and the church, there is also a beach area on the lake, and an aquatic center that can be used for weddings.  I didn’t have the time to photograph those adequately, I’m hoping to make a trip back to Big Canoe this Spring, and catch them then.  Since these Fall images were made, Talk Of The Town has taken advantage of the the Winter months and totally remodeled the interior of the Chimneys.  I haven’t seen it yet, but, I am hoping to make it there soon to get some shots of the upgraded insides.

Big Canoe is an impressive venue for a wedding, the mountain scenery is breathtaking, especially in the Spring, Summer and Fall.  It’s great if you have out of town guests, they can rent cabins at Big Canoe and spend the weekend there in addition to celebrating your wedding.  There are many advantages to having your wedding in the North Georgia mountains, cool in the Summer, amazing color in the Fall, and far away from the congestion and traffic of Atlanta.  If you are planning a North Georgia wedding and still looking for a location, Big Canoe might be it.
