I have had an absolutely amazing experience with Naomi Culley Photography during my wedding year; I could not recommend her enough to other brides, couples, and families! We originally booked Naomi for our engagement photo shoot in the Outer Banks, and she provided us with stunning photos that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. She captured our relationship perfectly, and we laughed along with her during the entire shoot. We had such a wonderful time with Naomi and were so thrilled by our photos that we immediately decided to book her to photograph our wedding day as well! Her unique ideas, fun spirit, and incredible talent behind the camera makes us so thankful to have the opportunity to utilize her services for the most special day of our lives. Naomi has prioritized building a relationship with us as her clients, while being incredibly organized, communicating in a timely manner, and consistently being attentive to our requests. She has gone above and beyond as our photographer by recommending other top quality vendors in the area as well, and making our photography vision/planning stress-free. We simply cannot contain our excitement to see our upcoming wedding photos, and we cannot stop looking at our prior engagement photos. We are beyond lucky for the incredible moments and memories that were snapped behind Naomi's lens - I highly recommend Naomi Culley Photography to anyone looking for an excellent, professional, and truly wonderful photography experience!

Hello, I am a hybrid (analog & digital) wedding photographer based in Eastern North Carolina, and I enjoy traveling regularly across the state, throughout the country, and internationally. My ethos is to be an unobtrusive observer, documenting the genuine, unscripted moments of your day as they naturally unfold. I believe the most beautiful photographs aren't the ones that are posed, but the quiet, fleeting glances and heartfelt laughter shared between you and your loved ones. Hope to connect soon!

We loved working with Allie Miller Photography for our wedding! Allie was so attentive, caring and compassionate throughout the planning process and on our big day. She has a great energy about her - funny and outgoing - that put us at ease. Allie did a beautiful job capturing the feel of our wedding through her photography. She used the venue's gorgeous natural light to enhance our portraits, which turned out wonderfully. We have a great variety of natural, posed and artistic shots that showcase Allie's good eye for detail. She was able to beautifully capture us, our families and the venue in her signature warm, bright style. The final edited photos are just what we hoped for to remember our special day. We'd highly recommend Allie Miller Photography to other couples looking for an attentive, talented wedding photographer who will capture the spirit of your wedding with beauty and care.

Courtney Hathaway Photography

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

Born and raised on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, I’ve been capturing love stories for over 18 years. Married to my high school sweetheart and raising our two boys on this little sandbar we call home, I’m inspired by family, connection, and the coast. I create images that feel modern yet timeless - blending classic elegance with natural, editorial moments. OBX based, serving couples on the Outer Banks and beyond, with winters spent in Costa Rica. Let’s tell your story.

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.

Meredith was amazing at my wedding. She has an intuitive way to get the best pictures of you and your loved ones. She is also accommodating to what you want and what you need. Her positive and warm attitude allowed me to feel comfortable and it shows in my pictures.

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen has been one of our area's top photographers for more than 15 years. She is knowledgeable about weddings and but also someone who is comfortable to be around. She is capable of handling any situation and directing when needed, but also relaxed, funny, and caring about her clients' feelings and experience. She's the best of both worlds and will take great care of you on your wedding day.

I created my signature style by blending lifestyle photography and fine art image retouching. Being a desperate romantic, I devote a huge part of my photography journey to the wedding and engegment photography. My goal is to create your family heirlooms, the images that you will cherish forever!

Maria is an incredibly talented photographer. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding, and have received so many compliments. Her style is bold and classic. She is great with angles and captures both posed and candid shots. Unfortunately we had rain on our wedding day, but Maria had a nice clear umbrella handy and we were able to still get photos of us during the rain. They are some of my favorites of our album. She dealt with my husband (who doesn’t like getting photos done) and multiple guest requests with ease and delivered our sneak peeks in just 2 days.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from.

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber.

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.

As one of the bridesmaids, I was blown away by how attentive they were. They made sure to capture all the silly little moments we had while getting ready. The photos show our genuine laughter and all the excitement of the morning. The video even had clips of us helping the bride with her dress and it made me cry when I saw it. They were super patient with our group (we can be chatty and distracted) but still kept everything moving smoothly. I love that they treated the bridal party as important, not just background. Everything feels authentic, not forced. I’m so glad my best friend will have these memories forever.

Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.
