What The Venue Publishes
- Catering, design and floral teams through Legendary Events
- The upstairs salons and Bride's Room, with a private powder room, vanity and full length mirrors, suit the bride and family. The wine cellars work as a groomsmen lounge.
- Built in 1797 in Wilkes County, Georgia, the house was moved brick by brick and rebuilt on Piedmont Road, then reopened in 2012.
How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
An old house gives you staircases, doorways and gardens that already look like a story. I walk the rooms with the venue before the day, find where the window light falls in the afternoon, and plan the portraits around the grounds.
This venue publishes an outdoor space, so I would plan around the sun. A ceremony outside at midday means hard light and squinting guests, so I ask couples to look up the sunset time first and work back from it. Even when the ceremony is inside, the open air is where I would take the two of you for twenty quiet minutes before dinner.
Ask where you will get ready. A clean, bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look like a magazine story, and it saves time on the day.
Questions To Ask The Estate by Legendary Events
- What is the food and beverage minimum for our date, and what does the package include?
- If it rains, which indoor room holds the ceremony, and when do we have to decide?
- Where can we take portraits, and are any areas off limits on our date?
- What time can the vendors load in, and when does the music have to stop?
- Is there a hotel nearby you work with for out of town guests?
Send me the answers and your date, and I will plan the photographs and the film around them. Check your date.
Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At The Estate by Legendary Events
The Estate by Legendary Events lists outdoor space, so the ceremony time is the one decision that changes every photograph. I like a ceremony that ends a little more than an hour before sunset. The light is softer, guests are not squinting into the sun, and we walk straight from the recessional into portraits while the sky warms up. The Estate by Legendary Events does not publish a rain plan, so ask for it in writing and walk the backup room on your tour.
The times below are worked out from the sunset in Buckhead on the 15th of each month, with daylight saving included. Move everything earlier in winter and later in June.
| Month | Ceremony | Portraits Begin | Sunset | Blue Hour Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
