How to get the most perfect Market Hall Raleigh wedding photos:
Hello, you wedding angels! I’m back to bring you my secrets to getting the most perfect Market Hall wedding photos. I would know! I’m an experienced wedding photographer and know exactly how to get the most out of your wedding venue when it comes to capturing the most important memories of your big day. Let’s get right to it.
Twinkling lights and downtown sights.
Market Hall Raleigh is a Spanish Mission-style landmark along the cobblestone roads of Downtown Raleigh. The cobblestone is a wedding venue feature unlike other venues, and I make sure to capture that aspect for my couples!
We love a historical wedding photo moment, and it’s important to take note of this uniqueness. Imagine you and your honey walking down the street of Moore Square. It’s just after sundown, and twinkling lights drape the skyline against a backdrop of the city street. Shiny cars paint the street sides, and the air is warm with a touch of a cool breeze.
This is a special moment that is meant to be remembered.
A dash of history on your big day.
You know I love me some wedding venue history. Market Hall Raleigh has no shortage of that! It was initially a farmers’ market way back in 1914. From there, it turned into a furniture store in 1959, transformed into a brewery in 1989, and became a marketplace in the 1990s–a marketplace that includes the venue we hold dear today.
For 100 years, Market Hall Raleigh has been a mainstay in North Carolina culture. This means a Market Hall wedding is sure to give you the perfect historical vibe you’re looking for.
Another cobblestone moment.
Back to the cobblestone. Haha, I know! But it’s truly such a lovely feature. But what makes it even more beautiful is that when you take one step outside the hall, you’re stepping onto original cobblestone that leads to large, landscaped lawns and billowing oak trees.
I love snapping photos of the wedding party in this area, because it gives such a rustic, downtown feel that is hard to replicate at other wedding venues.
An editorial shot to die for.
Whether you want your ceremony against a gorgeously bright, white wall or in front of the rustic wood wall within Market Hall, I’m committed to telling the story of your inimitable love. Let me help you tell that story on your special day with an editorial shot that stands out against the rest. We’re giving chic sophistication at Market Hall Raleigh!
