Telling life’s stories with heart, creativity, and confidence.
Haven Farm Wedding Photographer | Knightdale, NC
Haven Farm is one of those venues that feels relaxed and intentional all at once. Tucked just outside Raleigh in Knightdale, it offers a warm, open setting that works beautifully for couples who want their wedding day to feel personal, unfussy, and grounded.
With its barn spaces, open fields, and natural light throughout the property, Haven Farm gives weddings room to breathe. It’s ideal for couples who care about atmosphere, connection, and creating an experience that feels true to them.
We’ve photographed multiple weddings at Haven Farm and know how to work with the space in a way that feels natural and unforced.
What It’s Like to Photograph a Wedding at Haven Farm
Haven Farm offers a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that flow easily throughout the day. From getting ready to dancing under the lights, everything feels connected.
When we photograph weddings here, we pay close attention to:
How light shifts across the property throughout the day
Where portraits feel most natural instead of staged
How to move through the ceremony and reception without disrupting guests
Letting moments unfold while quietly guiding when needed
Golden hour portraits around the grounds are especially beautiful here, and the open layout makes walking portraits feel effortless rather than rushed.

Our Photography Style at Haven Farm
Our approach is documentary first, editorial second.
That means we focus on real moments, clean composition, and emotional storytelling while keeping everything visually polished. We’re not overly posed, and we’re not chaotic either. We guide when it helps, step back when it matters, and let the day unfold honestly.
At Haven Farm, that approach fits naturally. The space doesn’t need heavy direction. It shines when couples are simply present with each other.
You can expect:
Candid moments that don’t feel manufactured
True-to-life color and consistent editing
Portraits that feel relaxed, not stiff
A gallery that reflects how the day actually felt
Engagement Sessions and Pre-Wedding Coverage
Many couples getting married at Haven Farm choose to work with us beyond the wedding day itself. While we don’t require engagement sessions, they’re a great option for couples who want to feel comfortable in front of the camera and document another chapter of their story.
We also offer coverage options that include:
Engagement sessions at a meaningful location
Rehearsal dinner coverage
Welcome events or casual gatherings
Everything is customized so your photography experience fits your plans, not the other way around.
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!!”
