Courtney Hathaway Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Alexander, 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.

Shutter & Sound

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Alexander, NC

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county, NY. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Looking for a photographer who not only takes great pictures but is also professional, easy to work with, and able to capture the essence of your wedding day? LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found 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.

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life.

Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Samantha for my makeup trial, and from the moment I left, I felt like a whole new person. I didn't know how to act, I felt so beautiful! Little did I know, this was just the beginning.... For my wedding day, both Samantha and Mandi took care of my bridal party's hair and makeup. Their professionalism, clear communication, and spot-on recommendations based on our inspiration pictures truly stood out. I had expressed my concern about sweating a lot and wanting makeup and hair that would last the entire night. Samantha reassured me, and let me tell you, she was not kidding!!!!! she delivered beyond my expectations! Putting all my trust in Samantha was the best decision. I felt like an absolute princess, and the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn't believe it was me. As for my bridal party, Mandi and Samantha worked their magic, and everyone looked stunning. I couldn't stop staring at them, in awe of the beauty they had created. Samantha and Mandi were not just talented professionals...they were reliable, accommodating, and their positive energy added so much to the experience. I loved every moment of working with them and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Samantha and Mandi, for making me feel and look so beautiful on my special day!!!

Everlasting Moments

  • Planner

  • Serves Alexander, NC

I've always had a deep passion for organizing and planning which is why I chose to start my own Event Planning business. I knew at a young age being a Special Events/Wedding Planner is a dream I wanted to pursue.

We met Jackie and Madison at the NC Bridal and Wedding Expo in Raleigh in 2023. My daughter's wedding day was November of this year, 2024. From the very moment we met them, it was 100% authenticity, practicality, a smart approach, kindness, and just enough edge required to pull off an event of such importance. As we selected them and continued our journey together, the level of communication, organization, attention to detail, and their ability to advocate with professionalism were ever-present as their creative ideas just flowed with each circumstance we encountered. Jackie and Madison were made for planning with families/individuals in preparing and experiencing the activities associated with one of the most important decisions ever made in life...marriage. Jackie was resourceful, stayed connected, guided along the way, and on the days of the rehearsal and of the wedding, both she and Madison worked tirelessly to create beautiful, "everlasting moments" for my daughter and her new husband to remember. They filtered the obstacles, and stood in the gap to ensure the wishes and dreams of the bride and groom for that day were met. That was the most important. There is so much more we could say to endorse Everlasting Moments, but you can clearly read that hiring Jackie and Madison to plan and see through to the success of your wedding or any event is an investment worth making, as they invest in you! They are now family!

Book Cat for your wedding. You won’t regret it. My experience has been so amazing. Above and beyond what I ever expected when searching for a photographer. Our professional relationship quickly formed into a real friendship. In the months and weeks before our wedding Cat and I were chatting on Instagram almost daily (she even recommended my wedding make up)! And she was able to work with my on my budget. When she walked into my dressing room on the big day it was just like seeing any of my other friends and she fit right in! I appreciated how polite she was with my family and how she was down she was to see the (in my opinion) cool places I had picked out. I could not imagine my wedding with out her there. Her photos and sense of style are amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the photos we received!

It's weird describing the "me behind the camera" but I'll start with the fact I'm the mother of two of the cutest identical twin girls you've ever seen. This business allows me to spend most of my time with them and even some of my work time and for that I am forever thankful. While finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Grades Education at Western Carolina University photography sort of just happened. By the time I graduated I knew that photography was what I wanted to do full time. I shot a wedding the day I was supposed to walk the stage at graduation and I've been chasing light with some of the sweetest couples in the world ever since.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Kaitlyn is absolutely amazing! She is so easy to connect and work with and her pictures are truly magical.
