Market Hall Raleigh Wedding Photographer
Telling life’s stories with heart, creativity, and confidence.
Market Hall Wedding Photographer in Raleigh North Carolina
Market Hall is one of the most sought after wedding venues in downtown Raleigh. Located in the heart of City Market, this historic space blends modern design with timeless architectural details, making it an ideal setting for couples who want elegant, editorial, and meaningful wedding photography.
Fancy This Photography has photographed multiple weddings and editorials at Market Hall, capturing ceremonies, receptions, and portraits throughout the venue and surrounding City Market area. With its tall windows, warm wood accents, and flexible open layout, Market Hall photographs beautifully in every season.
Wedding Photography at Market Hall
As a Market Hall wedding photographer, we focus on documenting weddings in a way that feels natural, intentional, and true to each couple. Market Hall allows for a relaxed photography flow, whether you are planning a full wedding day, an intimate celebration, or a creative editorial style event.
The venue photographs exceptionally well for:
Indoor ceremonies with floral installations
Evening receptions with string lights
First looks in City Market
Romantic couple portraits on cobblestone streets
Wedding party photos with architectural texture
Because Fancy This Photography is familiar with Market Hall’s layout and lighting, we are able to move seamlessly throughout the space and capture moments without interrupting the experience of the day.
Why Market Hall Is a Beautiful Wedding Venue
Market Hall offers a rare combination of character and versatility. The interior features clean lines, exposed beams, and soft natural light that creates a flattering environment for both candid moments and refined portraits. Couples love that ceremonies and receptions can take place in one cohesive space without feeling cramped or overly formal.
Just outside the venue, the cobblestone streets of City Market provide an iconic Raleigh backdrop for wedding portraits. Moore Square is also steps away, offering greenery and open space for a softer contrast to the urban setting.
Planning a Market Hall Wedding
Market Hall is ideal for couples who want a downtown Raleigh wedding with character and ease. Its location makes it convenient for guests, while the surrounding neighborhood offers endless photo opportunities.
If you are planning a wedding at Market Hall, I recommend:
Scheduling portraits around golden hour for soft natural light
Using City Market streets for first looks or couple photos
Incorporating warm lighting for evening receptions
Allowing time for relaxed portraits outside the venue
Our Wedding Prep Process
Step 1
Initial Consultation
We will have a short consultation to discuss your wedding details. We want to get to know YOU. This is the time that we can go over any details about your wedding, dream with you about what you are envisioning, and understand how to serve you and your partner on your wedding day.
Step 2
Get to Know You
We spend time together for an engagement session so we can really get to know you before the big day. An engagement session works two-fold. It serves as a stepping stone to get you ready for your big day (hello save-the-dates!) and we get to learn more about you and what makes you unique. We want to show up to your wedding day knowing how amazing of a couple you are, and we want to document it with you in mind first.
Step 3
Have a Perfect Day
Get excited for your big day and know that we will take care of preserving these memories with the utmost care. When you view your wedding gallery you will feel tears of happiness and excitement. Your wedding gallery will feel like everything you have ever imagined, and more.
Raving Reviews
“It’s hard to even put into words how joyful an experience working with Nikki & her team was for our wedding in April 2022. From our engagement photos at the Biltmore, my bridal session, wedding photography planning and then the actual shots captured on wedding day, Nikki over delivered beyond what I could imagine our photos to be. She captured our personal style, which can be a bit shy and composed, in a beautiful way. I would definitely hire Nikki again if I had to plan my wedding all over. One of our hardest decisions in newlywed life is narrowing down all of our amazing shots into a photo album!”

“Courtney photographed our intimate, backyard wedding and we absolutely loved her and Fancy This Photography! Not only were her photos INCREDIBLE, but she was kind and so easy to work with. Courtney and Nikki were an absolute pleasure to work with from the second we met them. They are responsive, thoughtful, and put my mind at ease for our big day. On the day of our wedding, Courtney was professional, punctual, funny, and so easy to work with. My entire family loved working with her and kept commenting how much they liked her. Our photos turned out stunning and we are so pleased Courtney was able to capture our wedding day and we will treasure those photos forever.

“I cannot overstate enough how wonderful Fancy This is! We communicated with Nikki throughout our entire process from booking to our wedding day, worked with Sarah M for our engagement shoot, and both Sarah M and Sarah G for our wedding. They are all so friendly, helpful, and organized. Sarah M was especially great at helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera and both Sarahs were the perfect energy for our wedding day. We could not be happier with all of our pictures and would definitely recommend them to anyone!!”
