I have received over 1,000 images/videos in content, and still have even more coming! What’s crazy is half the time, we didn’t notice Katelyn there, but she still somehow captured every moment! I love that she wasn’t in our faces or constantly bothering us for photos/videos. This way, we were able to enjoy every aspect of our day! Katelyn truly embodied what being “behind the scenes” means! She was also always there when someone did want to ask for a photo, and always obliged, even when my mom was constantly asking her LOL. We got our raw footage back within 48 hours, and most of it after less than 24 hours. We are so grateful for Katelyn capturing all of our special moments!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was personable, professional, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, including my camera shy family. She kept the day running smoothly while capturing every picture I requested and the meaningful moments behind them beautifully. Even while very pregnant, she absolutely crushed it! She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone without hesitation!! 3 Also, a shoutout to her husband, Chris! He was great and fun on the dance floor as well!

  • Starts at $3,000

The Farm at 95 offically opened it's doors in October of 2013 and to this day is one of the two largest venues in Johnston County (oh, our sister location is the other larges venue)! Our space can accommodate anywhere from 80 to 400 guests, with separate rooms for food, dedicated dressing rooms, a well equipped stage and a relaxing patio heaters, fans and a gas fire pit. When you inquire, you will also receive information about our sister location, The Farm at 42, which we opened in March of 2018. This venue is similar to The Farm at 95, but has simple improvements such as larger dressing suites, upgraded finishes and a completely different ceremony setting. We hope that between one of our locations, we are able to work together to plan your pefect day!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe
  • Dressing room available

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Does not allow pets
  • Dance floor not included
The Farm at 95 was probably one of our favorite vendors at our wedding. Not only is the location beautiful but Rachel, the General Manager, went above and beyond for us. Our experience working with her was so easy and stress free. She was very helpful during our wedding and even caught a detail I missed and helped us fix it in the moment. Again the venue is beautiful but there also is so many great features you can utilize as well. The dressing rooms with the private bathrooms were perfect for us getting ready (1 bride, 5 maid of honors, 2 mothers and the makeup artist and hair stylist). I also loved how we had so much flexibility you have for where you do the ceremony. You have the option of the outdoor gazebo for your ceremony (which we ended up using) but you also could have your ceremony inside. Our reception was all done in the banquet hall/outdoor patio. We had a live band and the setup was perfect as there is a nice stage in the banquet hall. We had about 200 people and there was more than enough space. I also will mention the parking lot is more than big enough (parking is something I find very important). Overall we loved working with Rachel and truly had an unforgettable night. She did as much as she could to ensure we had a wonderful time. I don't know where else you could find such wonderful venue that is beautiful with a lot of great features and with someone who cares as much as Rachel!

She kept everything organized and running on schedule, helped us stay on top of the details, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day.

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry. Long hours and the realization that I was working really hard to make someone else a lot of money led me to entrepreneurship. I left a job in 2019 to start my own business. That little business is now my career! My love for photography and helping other families like mine preserve memories has only grown since starting my own family. My kids are my "why" and I truly believe being a mother has made me a better businesswoman.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the chance to second shoot for Taylor Gordon at a large corporate party in Raleigh, and I genuinely loved working alongside her. Big events like that can feel chaotic, but she brought such a calm, confident energy to the entire night. I felt like with her what you see if what you get it’s refreshing in this industry. She was organized, clear with communication, and made everything flow so smoothly. What stood out to me most was how naturally she connected with people from the event team to the guests, while still staying on top of every detail. That balance isn’t easy at large corporate events, and she handled it effortlessly. As another photographer, I really value strong leadership and good energy on event days, and she brings both. I’d absolutely jump at the chance to work with her again.

Love In Focus Videography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication style was fun, personable, and easy - they made the entire process stress-free. The quality of their work was amazing, truly professional, and left us feeling so happy with the final product. When my photographer lost all of our reception photos, Love In Focus saved the day by using their video footage to create beautiful photos for us. Their video captured the day and our love perfectly, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Love In Focus Videography to any couple planning their wedding!

Sarah was so wonderful to work with! Her genuineness and love for photography definitely shows in her photos. We had her do our engagement pictures and we loved them so much we asked her to do our graduation, wedding, and Christmas pics too! She made us feel at ease during all of these knowing that we were going to receive photos that were above and beyond what we could have imagined. Especially during our wedding it was such a relief to not stress over remembering the day because I knew Sarah would capture each moment:) Definitely would recommend Sarah for any of your photography needs!

I’m Megan, the heart behind Long Lens Photography. Based in Raleigh, NC and always ready to travel, I specialize in timeless, true-to-life wedding imagery that captures not just how your day looked, but how it felt. I fell in love with photography through storytelling—documenting real, fleeting moments with purpose and presence. My work is grounded in creating a seamless, stress-free experience so you feel fully seen, celebrated, and cared for from our first meeting to final gallery delivery. I don’t take lightly the honor of preserving one of the most meaningful days of your life, and that passion shows up in everything I do.

Working with Megan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our first conversation, she was warm, professional, and truly excited to be part of our day. On the wedding day itself, she had this amazing ability to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive — gently guiding us when needed and capturing so many beautiful candid moments. The photos are absolutely breathtaking. Megan has such a gift for capturing not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Looking through our gallery brings us right back to each moment — the laughter, the tears, the joy. We’ve received endless compliments on our photos, and we’ll treasure them for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about what she does, Megan is the one. We couldn’t be more grateful.

The quality of their work was simply great, amazing, and magical.
