wedding venues
The options are endless when it comes to the Triangle, so I've included just a few of my favorites.
could very well double as a massive studio space. The large windows, natural light, textured lines, and high ceilings have all of the ingredients necessary for clean, bright, beautiful portraits and a stunning ceremony/reception setting, not to mention the grassy, deep green outdoor space if you’re looking for a splash of nature.
The Distillery NC
is a historic beaut located in the heart of Raleigh. This is a perfect location for both intimate and extravagant settings. Its magazine-worthy elegance, breathetaking lawns, and a dazzling reception space just might leave your jaw on the floor as you celebrate your big day.
The Merrimon Wynne House
The rolling meadows absolutely steal the show, setting a backdrop for romantic, adventurous portraits with your love. With a gorgeous while brick structure and charming tree swing, this high-capacity venue checks all the boxes on space and beauty.
The Meadows at Firefly Farm
is modern, sophisticated, classy with stunning wood beam features that contrast beautifully with the bright whites. With breezy, wide-open spaces, while being surrounded by pines, magnolias and a scenic pond, this location is clean, visually striking, and would be the icing on the cake for timeless and romantic portraits.
The Upchurch
is a charming, light, and elegant white barn venue located in Chapel Hill. There is a wide variety of features here, including a beautiful stone fireplace backdrop, additional alfresco barn space, and breathtaking rows of lavender!
Lavender Oaks Farm
is a rustic, almost cabin-like, barn venue with charming decks over a glossy water feature located in Chapel Hill. This gives deeper wooded tones while also having the contrasting option of an open field for portraits.
The Barn at Valhalla
Jami was an absolute joy to work with! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, she did absolutely amazing. She made sure we were comfortable in front of the camera and captured the MOST amazing photos of our wedding day! We even booked her for family pics as well because she does such a great job. On top of her photography skills, Jami is genuinely one of the sweetest humans we have ever met. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone :)
Ethan + Kailee
The number one item on my list was to have Jami photograph our wedding. I probably could have been persuaded on when/where, but Jami had to be there. From the beginning she was super helpful and communicative. We felt she was just as excited to work with us as we were with her! We traveled to Jami for our engagement pictures and had the MOST fun. When our sneak peek came in we were both speechless. Jami was super flexible when managing our timeline for the day of the wedding and made my last minute requests happen with no added stress.

(cont...) She tackled my extremely large amount of family photos after the ceremony quickly & flawlessly, which honestly was a huge stress reliever for me and my husband. She worked beautifully alongside my videographer, whom she'd never met. She captured some of the most beautiful moments not only between my husband and I, but our families and friends. I was so thankful to be able to look back on our day and see so many different perspectives. Her pictures are intimate, elegant, and show so beautifully how we love each other and how we are loved by our friends and families. We still get compliments regularly on how stunning our wedding pictures were. These pictures are so special to us and we will cherish them forever. We could not recommend Jami more. She is an absolutely precious soul and so fun to work with. If you're reading this because you're on the line. Go ahead and book her. You can thank us later.

Jami was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have dreamed of! She is so passionate about her work and ensures that your wedding pictures are everything you want and more!!! She is so easy to work with and my whole bridal party raved about how good she was on our wedding day! I have had many people comment on how amazing our wedding pictures are and how well of a job our photographer, Jami, did capturing our wedding day! We are truly in LOVE with the engagement and wedding pictures she delivered to us. I will forever recommend Jami to everyone for any photography needs!
Drew + Ansley
Jami was everything I wanted in a wedding photographer. She knew exactly what to say to make both me and my fiancé comfortable. She’s extremely friendly, super professional, and captured my day perfectly. Both my Save the Date and wedding pictures came out amazing. I could not be happier with choosing Jami as my wedding photographer and I will recommend her to everyone I know!!
Josh + Kelli
Jami was more than I could have asked for for our wedding photographer. She was so accommodating through our whole engagement with our schedules, weather issues, time sensitivities, etc. Our wedding day flowed so smoothly with pictures because of her, and our families and wedding party kept telling me how awesome she was. We cannot thank her enough for our beautiful wedding pictures that we will treasure forever!
Camron + Abbey
Jami did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day! She took the time to get to know us as a couple, listened to our ideas, and brought them to life along with her creativity. Every single image is so beautiful!! We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family. One friend commented that these are the best wedding photos they have ever seen, and we agree! There are truly no bad photos out of the hundreds she captured. We will cherish these forever!
LUKE + Macy
Jami is absolutely amazing and so passionate with her work. My husband and I booked Jami initially for our engagement photos and our wedding day (which was postponed and rescheduled 5 different times - which Jami just rolled with every time!) and have since had her do some family pictures for us too! Her personality and humor makes it so fun and easy to smile for all of the beautiful and creative pictures she takes. She was there for the majority of our wedding day and was able to catch pictures of every big moment that was important to us. When you work with Jami, you really see how passionate she is about her work, and that is one of the biggest reasons why she is so amazing!

"Jami was an absolute joy to work with. She is professional, kind, and great at what she does! She made us and our bridal party feel so comfortable and at ease. Her calming presence and superb photography skills are exactly what we needed on our big day! As an extra perk, she returned our wedding photos to us before the promised-by date and sent us a 16 x 20 print of our favorite picture. We love our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. We highly recommend Jami Barry!"
Kenneth + elizabeth
"Jami is absolutely amazing! We have used her for 18 month photos, maternity photos, and newborn photos and have had the best experience every time. She works great with kids, gives clear and helpful directions on how to pose, and makes you feel so comfortable during the whole process. I highly recommend using Jami for your next photography needs!"
Colton + morgan
"Before our engagement photos and wedding day, we had not had any professional photos taken together. Jami made us feel so comfortable and truly captured our personalities. At our wedding, Jami captured so many wonderful moments and made sure we had so many special photos from the day. So many of our guests at the wedding have raved about the photos as well and want to have copies!"
