Photographers are Welcome at The Catlett Farm!

A Paradise for Photographers

Frame Your Clients Amidst Nature's Breathtaking Beauty

Photographers, we love you! We Really Do. You are the ones that make us all look fantastic and we SO APPRECIATE it! This is why we want to share our space with you. Come experience the natural scenic beauty at The Catlett Farm Wedding & Event Venue. Our place is a paradise for you to create your magic – tall grass fields, forests, river, open fields, mature trees, weathered fence line, a Japanese footbridge and a serene pond all in one spot. Our property offers a diverse canvas for your creative lens.

WE RECOGNIZE that we could not do what we do without the talent of great photographers! Our website would be just a bunch of words-ha! We appreciate your photos so much and know that taking the photos is just step #1. We know how much time goes into EDITING! We love being able to share them with our followers from time to time, you certainly do not have to share your photos with us but it is fun for us to see the property through your eyes. It truly is a great place for your Senior Pics, Family Life photos, and all that cool artsy stuff you do. We will be sure to credit you if we share a photo!

Location

GPS—The Catlett Farm. Located 3 minutes from Exit 49 on I-95 at the edge of Fayetteville NC, The Catlett Farm is easy to find and completely private. Our address is 2000 Grantsboro Rd. (off of Fields Rd.) but it is easiest just to put “The Catlett Farm” in your GPS. Grantsboro Rd. is a .5 mile smooth dirt road, go all the way to the end! We promise, once you go through our gate you enter a little slice of heaven. It is beautiful year round. We love the light and bright green in early spring, the lush trees surrounding the property in the summer, and the deeper colors in the fall, but there is something graphically beautiful about winter that we know you will love.

PRICE

Our rate is $50 for a 2 hour session or if you are doing several mini sessions and need several hours it is $100. You may schedule a Bridal Session for $150. We also offer a yearly fee of $250. You can pay with Venmo or cash. If you are shooting for one of our booked couples; then, of course, there is no fee.

Dates & Times

Keep in mind that we are primarily a Wedding Venue and most weekends in the spring and fall are booked on Fridays and Saturdays. Midweek is almost always available and so are Sunday afternoons. January, February, July and August are our slow months so weekends are often available. Email us at…thecatlettfarm@gmail.com…to schedule a photo session. We will then advise you on how to get onto the property.

We do have Mosquito Authority come and spray each month and they have been doing so for 7+ years. They spray the pond and wedding tree areas along with the actual venue…Wish they had an airplane to dust the whole 35 acres! Please note that this is a natural space and it is best to wear closed toe shoes. If you venture into the tall grass fields please watch out for ant hills. We have mowed several paths for you in these fields to help you get that shot and keep your feet safe. You are welcome to explore the paths into the woods and down the hill to the river. Let your creativity run wild! BUT…remember you are literally in the wild so be careful!!!

We do our best to keep it all mowed and looking its best, but cannot promise that every field will be in perfect condition. But we know you photographers like the natural look anyways!!! If there has been a storm the day before we can 100% guarantee that there will be some branches on the ground or a fence post that fell. Please do not climb the fence, they are 20+ years old and slowly breaking down; but they are beautiful with moss on most of them. The fence line leading down to the pond does NOT have any wires or lights on them…perfectly natural.
