Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Courtney Hathaway Photography

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

Alicia was amazing to work with. She was on time to the wedding and took every picture we asked her to. She worked up until the last minute to get the perfect shots throughout our wedding. We would highly recommend her to anyone!!

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlyn & her team are absolute rockstars! They were a true highlight of my day and went above and beyond to help in any way possible and make everything stress-free and fun. We had an outdoor wedding and it was a very windy day and her and the team would help out in moments that weren’t even their responsibility. She had amazing communication leading up to the wedding, during the day, and afterwards. She delivered our photos quickly and posted the most amazing content leading up to the gallery delivery. She also made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured a lot of cute candids that are so special to see after the day is over. I cannot recommend Sea Shea enough. This is a vendor I truly could not have lived without! Not only are the photos 10/10 amazing but the experience of working with someone who really cares about your day and takes the time to get to know you makes all the difference. I felt a connection to her and the team and they saved my windy chaotic wedding day! You can tell they love what they do by how much fun they exude and the photos that they deliver.

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

Marylyn, owner of Momentous Memories, has been my go-to girl for YEARS!! She never disappoints!! She knows just how to capture the most amazing moments and love between two people. Her photography is stunning and she creates such a fun environment to be in! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she knew exactly how to get him to open up and pose for pictures. She was great at communicating throughout the pre-wedding process and ensuring that she knew how our day was going to go. Even though on our day it poured down rain, Marylyn worked her magic and created an album of the most breathtaking photos. I will always highly recommend her to anyone I know!

You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. It is a pleasure, an honor, and a privilege to be a part of these legacies. The core of my business is serving YOU, my clients, my people, my pals.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her.

When I saw Catherine's work on Instagram I knew her style captured everything I wanted. When it came time for my now husband to pop the question, I wrote down Catherine's information as my top photographer choice. She then captured the biggest "yes" of my life, and I KNEW I needed her on my wedding day to continue the vision. The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day. Behind the lens, on our wedding day, she was constantly encouraging us and managed to have ALL of the family photos flow seamlessly. Within the next few days, I was getting photos back and in just a month my whole album was ready! Talk about a quick turnaround!! We cannot recommend Catherine enough, and we hope she gets the opportunity to capture the memories of your day so you can have thee most beautiful photos of a lifetime hanging in your home.
