About Whitlock Inn

Steeped in Southern charm and historic elegance, The Whitlock Inn in Marietta, Georgia, is a stunning Victorian mansion that offers a picturesque backdrop for timeless weddings. Built in 1900, this venue is known for its gorgeous wraparound porch, lush gardens, and exquisite antique details, making it the perfect setting for couples who love classic romance with a touch of vintage sophistication.

As wedding photographers, we love capturing the magic of The Whitlock Inn’s grand architecture, intricate woodwork, and charming outdoor spaces. The natural light pouring through the mansion’s large windows creates a dreamy glow, making every moment look straight out of a storybook. The gardens provide a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, while the ballroom’s chandeliers and historic charm make for breathtaking reception photos.

We’ve had the honor of photographing heartfelt “first looks” on the sweeping staircase, golden-hour portraits in the garden, and lively dance floor moments in the elegant ballroom—and each time, this venue delivers a stunning, cinematic feel that makes every love story shine.

If you’re looking for a Marietta wedding venue that combines historic beauty, romance, and unforgettable character, The Whitlock Inn is an exceptional choice—and we’d love to help you capture every special moment in this one-of-a-kind setting!

What I Don’t Love About Whitlock Inn

  • Reports suggest that day-of coordination and reception experiences can be challenging without experienced vendors; it’s advisable to hire seasoned professionals. 
  • The low-ceilinged room connecting the two ballrooms could benefit from enhanced aesthetics.
  • The outdoor space would be more appealing with more greenery, blooms, and increased seclusion from the parking area.
  • Some reviews mention concerns about the cleanliness of in-house decor items, such as acrylic columns, on the wedding day. 
  • Occasional changes in coordinators close to the event date have led to communication challenges.

I asked questions on top of questions. I was THAT bride. Rocheal was incredibly receptive to any and all correspondence, photography related or not. Not to mention, she basically ran our entire wedding day. And she did it like a boss.

"It's hard for me to put into words what Rocheal meant to me as our wedding photographer. "

Hope & Evan

She is friendly, communicative and extremely talented... We had a few logistics issues at the start of our day... She helped us feel at ease and never missed a beat. I have never felt so beautiful... She captured moments between our family. You can feel the emotion just looking at the photos!!

"The best decision we made...We felt like her only clients."

Erin & Hampton

We had THE MOST extraordinary experience... Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but her warm and personable nature made the entire process AMAZING!!! Five stars just doesn’t seem like enough to express our gratitude for her exceptional work!

"From start to finish she was an absolute DREAM to work with!!"

Christina & John

My initial meeting with her was SO great. We spent 2 HOURS talking. If you want someone on YOUR side throughout the whole process, it’s HER! I’m trying to figure out what other life changes I can go through and get Rocheal to be my photographer again.

"I planned my other vendors around Rocheal"
