Based on the coast of North Carolina, I am here to tell your stories through the moments that make you - you. Whether you are by yourself, with your true love, or surrounded by your family, I want to give you the memories that will keep giving.
Captured By Riley Barber is a one woman show - I've been a photographer in the Topsail Island and surrounding areas since 2020. From my humble beginnings - taking pictures of my now husband (also named Riley) surfing - to now capturing couples, families, portraits, weddings, and anything in between.
A beach lover with a passion for capturing timeless, candid moments that tell real stories. This is my way of preserving the genuine emotions, quiet glances, and joyful chaos that make your life uniquely yours.
Whether you're a local or traveling from afar, my goal is to provide you with the best, most professional experience possible; one that feels effortless, fun, and true to you. I’m here to document your love in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and lasting.
Riley has been there behind the camera capturing it all. She is patient (even with wild kiddos) and pays attention to detail to make sure your photos cater to your lifestyle. She is quick to give you a few sneak peak photos of your album & never fails to make the editing process for the rest, worth the wait.

"For all the milestones
"Riley’s been my go-to
for pictures since 2020."
She makes it so easy to stand in front of the camera and has great visions for each shoot. She creates a comfortable & playful environment each time we’re together! Her passion for photography is evident in her work & there’s no one I trust more to capture my special moments. If you’re undecided on poses or a vision for how you want your pictures to look, Riley is the best at making it all feel & look natural!
