HEAR FROM OUR COUPLES
"
Our wedding film from Christian, Chris, & the Shutter & Sound team is such a masterpiece! The cinematography is absolutely stunning, the music is so well coordinated, and the venue & decor are beautifully captured. They wove together every funny, intimate, and meaningful moment with us and our family & friends. It was so much fun to relive the day, especially with the full-length ceremony and toasts footage – we laughed (& cried) all over again. Shutter & Sound captured our day so beautifully and brought our wedding “vision” & our love story to life on camera. Not only that, but they were organized and easy to work with throughout the process – and so fun on our actual wedding day!

×ENQUIREVI · LOCATIONS

CHAPEL № I
The 1915 Colonial-Revival mansion in Myers Park, set on 4.5 acres of manicured Southern lawn under an iconic oak canopy. Twenty thousand square feet of mansion, twenty bedrooms upstairs, formal gardens out back, and a wrap-around veranda that holds 200 ceremony guests. The grandest residential wedding venue in the Carolinas.

CHAPEL № II
The original 1837 US Mint, North Carolina's first art museum, and one of only a handful of pre-Civil-War Greek-Revival landmarks still standing in the South. Set on a wooded suburban lot in the Eastover neighborhood. The original front steps with the columns above are the most-shot ceremony portrait spot in Charlotte.

CHAPEL № III
Three hundred and eighty acres along the Catawba River in Belmont. The Robert Lee Stowe Pavilion holds 250 under a Mediterranean-tile roof; the Cottage Lawn handles outdoor ceremonies; the Children's Garden butterfly bungalow is the prettiest cocktail-hour space in the state. Twenty-five minutes from uptown.

CHAPEL № IV
An 1857 farmhouse-and-red-barn property in Lancaster, SC — thirty minutes south of Charlotte — with a 200-year-old oak tree, rolling Southern farmland, a restored barn for receptions, and a family that has hosted weddings here since the early 2000s. The most photographed barn-wedding venue in the Carolinas.

CHAPEL № V
The 1917 Colonial-Revival inn in Dilworth — one of Charlotte's oldest neighborhoods — with a double-tier full-front porch, formal boxwood gardens, and the Charlotte Room downstairs holding 130 for receptions. Walking distance to the South End streetcar, and the only hotel inside city limits with a true Southern-mansion feel.

CHAPEL № VI
The Bank of America Corporate Center's iconic 1992 atrium in uptown Charlotte — three soaring stained-glass domes by artist Ben Long, polished marble flooring, and a central rotunda holding 600 ceremony guests. The most cinematic indoor wedding venue in the South after Vibiana in LA. Available only on weekends and holidays when the bank is closed.
Beyond these six, we shoot regularly at McGill Rose Garden, the Belmont Abbey, the Mint Museum Uptown, the South End Mill at Atherton Mill, and a handful of private estates we keep quiet about by request.
Did we mention we also serve Lake Norman, Asheville, and Raleigh-Durham?

X · HONEST ANSWERS
Before you write, here are the things couples usually want to know — asked plainly, answered plainly.
THE ANSWER
We film every Charlotte wedding ourselves. David is based in Myers Park and has shot at every venue on this page at least once. We don’t outsource. Ever.
THE ANSWER
Yes — we have working relationships with all three and know each venue’s rules around fixed cameras, lighting, drone use, and timing. We’ll handle the venue’s production manager so you don’t have to.
THE ANSWER
Eight weeks for The Short, ten for The Feature, six for The Preview. Holiday weeks add a week. We’ll give you a date the day we sign and we’ll hit it.
