Wedding venue
Founders Hall
We had the pleasure of connecting with one of our favorite wedding venues tucked right in the heart of uptown Charlotte, NC. With a massive glass ceiling and an awesome space, Founders Hall is an exquisite venue offers a multitude of options to help your wedding dreams come to reality. This it the PERFECT space for having your ceremony and reception all in one area. We HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here where you can mix an indoor historic banquet hall with outdoor city view.

Mike and Beth Whitehead purchased
Whitehead Manor in 2004. At that time, it was The Homestead Bed and Breakfast lovingly operated by Frank and Peggy Dearian. The Dearian’s had already created a beautiful setting for their guests and small weddings and
events.
How did you first establish the vision to make your beautiful setting into an
amazing event venue?
We love the old Victorian House, the gazebo and surrounding gardens. There is a peace and tranquility of our venue that is welcome and surprising in the middle of a bustling city like Charlotte, NC.
What is the inspiration behind your wedding venue? If you had the perfect
bride, what would she decorate your venue like?
We purchased the venue in 2004, but with the addition of the sister building which complimented the original Manor House, we couldn't help by love the evolution of the wrap-around porches and how the central courtyard became an additional space for events of all types and sizes
When did your venue open?
Our biggest wedding
was about 400, but we’re best around 175.
How many guests can your Venue Accommodate?
We average about 25 a
year. We aren’t a wedding factory and we try to allow each wedding plenty
of time to enjoy the venue and its grounds. As a result, we usually we do
one wedding each weekend, though we have some exceptions where we do
two.
How many weddings do you do a year/a weekend?
Because we also do a lot of corporate off-site meetings, I think those are the
most unusual. We did a really fun cooking competition as part of a team
building exercise. Another client regularly schedules karaoke and firepit
evenings for their teams.
What was the most unique event that has taken place at your venue?
We do offer tables and chairs, as well as, small
event décor.
Do you offer rental items?
The grounds and the rocking
chairs. Every time I come onsite, I’m reminded what a special place it is and
how lucky we are to share it with so many people.
What is your favorite part of your venue?
We
have an amazing team of 5-7 that help implement our events. What we think really sets us apart from other venues is our hospitality. We are committed to having our guests feel welcome and taken care of while they are with us. e give them our space to allow them to work, gather and celebrate. We’ll
do anything we can to facilitate that. Our team always operates from “The
answer is YES! What’s the question?”

Hebrews 6:19
Legacy is important. Its how people know about the past, its things that are passed on and stories told. We strongly believe that a VISUAL legacy is as important as a story told. In fact, I think its more important. So many stories are told in a photograph and your story deserves to be passed on and told for years to come.
legacy
: something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past
Visual Legacy
Your
We hope to be more than just photographers. The decision for you should be based on more than just that. You are hiring someone that you hope can capture the wedding day exactly how you want to remember it years down the road, how you want your kids to see your day, and how you want your grandchildren to dream of a time that once was. That all starts with the person you hire, not just the photographer. I hope that makes sense, but there are a lot of photographers out there, but there are very few people that can capture the day exactly how you want.
Although we try to get it right straight out of the back of the camera, there is some magic that happens in our “digital darkroom” as we like to call it. There is a lot of creativity and imagination that makes each image pop. It is a representation of the art we want to create and put into the final image. Every image can benefit from having some love and care added; dull skin can glow, good portraits can be made into great ones and awesome locations can be made even more awesome. Each image is treated by hand, and each image requires its own magic formula.
Because this phase is more “behind-the-scenes,” it is often overlooked when it comes to comparing photographers, yet it is one of the most important and essential things to take note of! We treat every image to fit consistently in our style, to be crisp, clean and vibrant while still providing black & white images that fit each scene perfectly. We also love to get creative with stiching images together to make beautiful works of art! We take the time to cherish every image so that you can enjoy them for a lifetime!
We take this privilege and your investment extremely seriously so we love to invest back into you! We do this by investing into the best gear we believe is needed to capture you wedding day. We also invest heavily back into our relationship together! At random times you will receive gifts from us throughout your engagement and we will be there with you every step of the way in planning. We have done this dozens of times so we want to help anyway we can!
What's A Gifyyy?
The retainer fee is the fee that holds that date for you! All we ask is for $2000 to hold that date for you. We make it simple for you to pay online so we ask that the remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to your event date.
WHAT IS THE RETAINER FEE?
As photographers, Under the U.S. Copyright Law, we own the copyright of the images. We have taken them, edited them and uploaded them. They are our art and as artists, we want to make sure they aren’t resold, stolen or given out to anyone to use. It isn't to hold your images hostage, but to protect the integrity and quality of the images. Most of the time, a bride just wants the usage rights to print her images and share them so we have a print release license that comes with two of our collections for you to do so. If your collection doesn't come with a print release, you will either have to purchase the print release for all of the images, or purchase prints through us. If your collection does come with a print release, we have an awesome lab we would suggest using. Places like Wal-Mart and Walgreens have much lower quality ink and paper, and won't do your picture justice . They also auto adjust images not expecting you to bring in professional quality images. This changes the look you hired us for! Keep in mind, whether you have High-resolution or Low-resolution images, you can order prints through our professional lab, knowing that are the very best in the industry.
WHAT IS A COPYRIGHT AND CAN I PRINT MY IMAGES ANyWHERE I WANT?
Any session that you may have other than your wedding will take between 2-3 weeks. Your wedding images generally take 6-8 weeks. If you receive an album with your package, that album will come in 4-6 weeks after your reveal and everything is approved!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE OUR PHOTOS?
Great question! We get this a lot! The most important thing for us is that you don’t look at our collections and be confused! The biggest difference comes with printing the images. The low-resolution, online optimized images are perfect for viewing online and sharing to your family on a computer. If you try to print them, they will become pixelated and won’t look great. They will also have a watermark on the bottom of your image. Don’t worry, it wont be distracting or get in the way of the image. High resolution images are great for printing, sharing and viewing anywhere. They come with the print release so you can print them how you please and they won’t have the watermark at the bottom of the image. All we ask is that you don’t use them for marketing purposes, but other than that, they are all yours!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN HIGH RESOLUTION & LOW RESOLUTION?
After a meeting, we will hold your wedding date for 48 hours to give you the peace of mind to make your decision!
BOOK US!
