Caitlin and Elliott traveled to the Outer Banks all the way from Virginia for their winter engagement session this past weekend.  The long drive to Nags Head shows just how important these pictures are to them.  I am so happy I can give them these beautiful memories of their love.  It was such a chilly day and they were both troopers and let me photograph them for a full 2 hours!  They are such a special couple and I am so glad to call them friends.  I cannot wait to be a par

I’m so excited to have this spring Outer Banks wedding on the blog today!  Emily and Taylor held their wedding at the beautiful oceanfront Village Beach Club.   With the beach just steps away from the reception site, the transition from the beach ceremony to the poolside reception then to dancing inside was seamless.  The Flower Girls created beautiful displays of blue, white and green flowers for the bouquets, tables and arbor, and wow what a beautiful focal point that arbor

We had so much fun at Christy & Justin’s beach engagement session! We played at the Nags Head Pier, had fun running around with their adorable little girl, and then got some romantic ocean shots.  These two were champs sitting in the surf and working with me to get that perfect ocean splash.  So looking forward to their summer wedding! #obx #beachportraitsNagsHead #beachengagementphotography #outerbanks #beachengagement #esession #nagshead #outerbanksengagementphotographer

Sydney and her new Groom Spencer got married at Pirate’s Cove this past June and it was the most cheers-worthy event! You might recognize these two from their engagement photos at the Cafe we shot in the spring.  Event designers Bells & Whistles decorated the marina with beautiful white branches and flowers for the ceremony, the inside was draped with fabric, and the whole wedding looked like a fairy tale.  These two gave me such solid portrait time, I was able to work with t

Jennifer and Tony had a beautiful, peaceful wedding on Coquina Beach, where they enjoyed the private dunes, wide beaches and magical golden light before sunset.   During their private ceremony, the did a shell tossing ceremony, where everyone made a wish and threw their shells into the sea, offering it to mother ocean.  We headed to Bodie Island lighthouse to do portraits and they turned out so sweet!

You might remember Carla and Brendon from their beautiful sound side engagement session (view here!), and now I get to show off their wedding! Tony Joseph of I Do OBX Weddings made the ceremony site beautiful, with their driftwood arbor adorned with blue fabric and perfectly aligned chairs.  The Kitty Hawk Pier held the reception and provided the catering, and Renee Landry Events provided the beautiful flowers- wait till you see her bouquet!  This model couple rocked their be

Very excited to share another Kill Devil Hills wedding with you! Kristina and Ryan’s classy destination affair was held at a premier event home in Kill Devil Hills, The Grand Ritz Paradise.  This OBX event home was the venue for both the ceremony and reception. This beautiful couple hosted a night full of close family and friends, joyous dancing by the pool, and yummy passed hor d’oeuvres.

Tricia and John had a picture perfect beach wedding this spring here on the Outer Banks. Held at the Sea Ranch Resort in Kill Devil Hills, their oceanfront ceremony was full of blue skies, turquoise water, and beautiful blooms.  The Sea Ranch was the setting for the ceremony, reception and also catered the dinner. The Embellishers provided the bright florals and Coastal DJ brought the tunes! #beachphotographyouterbanks #beachweddingOBX #obx #outerbanks

Grace was a show stopper at her senior portraits!  We went to a couple different locations for this recent Manteo graduate’s photo session, our first stop was Jockey’s Ridge State Park and then the beach for fun and organic senior photos. I’m a firm believer that every senior who grew up on the Outer Banks needs some senior photos on the beach!  Grace, an amazing hula hooper, brought her hoop to the shoot and I had a blast getting photos of her twirling around in the sand- se

Vacation is a great time to get updated photos of your family- you’re in your happy place, you have a great tan, and no one is forcing their smiles when they’re on the Outer Banks 😉  The Aliaskari family had a great idea to get all their family beach portraits done together the same evening, this way they got some cute cousin shots and a full family photo, in addition to their individual family pics. Take a look at all these cuties below #obx #photographer #CorollaBeachPortr

Carlee and James were so. much. fun! As you can tell Carlee is a beautiful sass a frass, and James just eats it up.  The way he look at her, the way he kissed her hand as they walked down the aisle a husband and wife, it’s sooo sweet.  Jennette’s Pier set the stage for both the ceremony on the pier and the reception in the Oceanview Hall.  Best wishes to Carlee & James!

Our recent engagement session with Carla and Brendon was full of sand, laughter and the most perfect golden hour light!  Going from affectionate and adoring to super playful in their Steelers jerseys, you can tell these two are truly best friends.  Can’t wait for their May wedding at the Kitty Hawk Pier! #obx #beachengagementphotography #goldenhour #beachengagement #goldenlight #engagementphotos #EngagementPhotography #nagshead #nagsheadphotos #outerbanksphotographers #engage

I’m so excited to share this sweet, intimate garden wedding with you today! Amy and Todd came to the Outer Banks from Maryland for their wedding and chose the perfect location for the occasion, the sweet and charming White Doe Inn.  The couple hosted their closest family and friends in the back garden, and their reception included a long banquet table and bamboo chairs by  Ocean Atlantic Rentals, delicious catering be Cafe Lachine and blooms by Holiday House.  Amy was glowing

Sydney and Spencer are getting married this June here on the Outer Banks at Pirate’s Cove Marina and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!   I got to spend some time with them taking their engagement photos, and as you can see, they are both as cute as a button.  Their choice of locations for their shoot was great; first we shot at the Colington Cafe, and then we went to the beach to get those classic pier shots. Like the rest of us who enjoy the Outer Banks cuisine scene, Syd

I was grateful for the opportunity to shoot Avery and Will’s engagement photos in Manteo last spring and now I’m sharing their precious wedding photos! Their January Outer Banks wedding was a beautiful affair. The couple rented a home in Pirates Cove which included a private dock that made a great backdrop for the first look & group portraits, and the winter fog made the scene even better. I adored the class that this couple carried between the two of them,  their sweet and s

The reveal is finally here and I am so thrilled to share these beautiful pictures with you guys! I was so lucky to be a part of this vibrant and classy styled shoot produced last September at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head. The shoot was collaborated by Engaging Events OBX and The Flower Field, who obviously both out did themselves! Jennette’s Pier acted as a great back drop for our shoot as it does for any wedding that is held there-  can’t wait for you to see how the mantle w

This fall wedding in downtown Manteo had it all- laughter, love and lots of champagne. The ceremony was held at Marshes Lighthouse on Roanoke Island, followed by a fun reception at 108 Budleigh (with lots of dancing!). The trolley was there to take the wedding party between the sites, and always makes transportation enjoyable and easy. Katharine & Richard had such an energetic crew, and their wedding was the perfect mix of class and fun! See for yourself here Outer Banks Wedd
