The Knot Best of Weddings 2024 & 2026 · Five-star rated on The Knot and WeddingWire
Grand front steps, white columns and a stories-high foyer, right in the heart of downtown Augusta. The Old Medical College is Robb's personal favorite venue in all of Augusta. Here's what to know about the venue, where the best photos happen, and how our team plans an Old Medical College wedding day.
About the Old Medical College for Weddings
The Old Medical College sits at 598 Telfair Street in downtown Augusta, Georgia. If you're looking for a venue with plenty of space, old-world character and a regal feel, this is the place. We've provided both photography and videography here, and every visit we're amazed by how many different looks one venue holds.
Walk through the large front doors and the foyer, and you're greeted by a stories-high ceiling with an open circle, where guests on the floor above can look down to the ground floor. Couples often decorate this space with hanging greenery and flowers, and it's a showstopper in photos and film.
From the grand steps of the entrance to the main hall inside, it's hard to choose where to point the camera. At the wedding in our film, the reception moved to a rear room with string lights hanging overhead, which gave guests their own space to dance.
What makes it special
A grand entrance: white columns and wide front steps make a timeless backdrop for portraits of the two of you and your wedding party.
A stories-high foyer: the open circle in the ceiling lets guests look down from the floor above as the day unfolds.
Room to celebrate: at the wedding in our film, a separate rear room gave guests their own space for the party.
Gardens and old brick: iron gates, brick walls and green lawns around the building add soft, romantic variety to your portraits.
Best Photo Spots at the Old Medical College
The front steps and columns
The grand steps and columns at the entrance are the classic Old Medical College portrait. They're perfect for a full-length bridal portrait, your wedding party, and a big family photo.
The foyer under the open ceiling
Inside, the stories-high foyer is one of the most dramatic spots in Augusta. It's beautiful for your entrance through the big front doors, and even more so once it's dressed in greenery and flowers.
The iron gates and brick walls
An iron gate and old brick walls frame soft, romantic portraits. Several of the portraits on this page were taken right there.
The gardens and lawn
Green lawns, flowering shrubs and brick walkways around the building give you a garden look without leaving the venue. A twirl on the brick path with the columns behind you is one of our favorite shots.
The string-lit reception room
Once the sun goes down, string lights over the dance floor make for warm, glowing photos and film.
Timing and light
The front of the building and the gardens look their best in soft, late-day light. Plan on 20 to 30 minutes outside with us in the hour before sunset.
The venue is beautiful year-round, and fall and winter dates help you avoid Augusta's summer heat.
If you're decorating the foyer, leave a few minutes between setup and guest arrival so we can capture it before it fills up.
Our Old Medical College Wedding Film
This film went to the next level at the reception. The wedding party hung string lights across the rear room, and friends and family danced the night away underneath them. It's a beautiful look at how the Old Medical College works for both a grand entrance and a real party.
We love providing photography at the Old Medical College too. Here are a few portraits from our time there.

Planning Your Photos and Film at the Old Medical College
Ask the venue a few questions early
Every venue has its own rules. Before you finalize your timeline, ask about your rental hours, decor in the foyer, candles and send-offs. Share the answers with us and we'll plan around them.
Save time for portraits outside
The steps, gates and gardens are a big part of what makes this venue special. Build in 20 to 30 minutes for portraits outside, and we'll map out the route with you before your day.
Make the foyer part of your story
If you're decorating the foyer, ask whether the upper level will be open during your event. Guests looking down through the open circle make a beautiful moment on camera.
Light the reception room
String lights overhead, like the ones in our film, give a warm glow to your first dance and the dance floor.
Photo and video as one team
When you book both, your photographer and videographer share one timeline and plan your day together, so you never have two crews working around each other.
