2020 Real Wedding: Brittany & Richard, 10.26.2019

What makes the Outer Banks unique and special to you?

As a country club, we value community most of all. Some of our members are here throughout the year, while others come and go with the seasons. We pride ourselves on the fact that we can be an escape for those who need to get away from their day-to-day lives to come here and relax.

How long have you been involved in weddings on the Outer Banks?

I've lived here almost my entire life but I started shooting weddings on the Outer Banks in 2011.

What makes the Outer Banks unique and special to you?

Growing up here and being able to call this beautiful place home has been the greatest, especially when capturing photos and moments here. Everything about the Outer Banks makes for the perfect backdrop.

What is unique about your business? What are you known for?

I believe that we differ in our process by taking a more artistic, sort of darker approach. We lean towards warmer tones and textures which isn’t something you usually see in wedding portraiture. As a team, Madeline Thompson and I try to emphasize on our intent and capturing the mood of the couple and the crowd. We highly value the stillness of art and always strive to express this in the way we pose our couples.

What are you most looking forward to about the 2020 Wedding Weekend? 

Our favorite part of the Wedding Weekend is being able to meet all of the people who have booked us for the upcoming wedding season, as well as see the vendors that we work with in the area! In the winter when less people come to the Outer Banks for their wedding, the people who work in this industry and community don't get to see each other as frequently so it is always nice to be able to reconnect. 

What other information must a couple know about you?

We love what we do and we love that we are able to do this together! Our passion for wedding photography and the beach is like no other. If you are thinking about an Outer Banks wedding, let us know! With the expo coming up, we are so excited to get to see all of the engaged couples who are interested in a wedding here. Do your research beforehand so that you can meet and talk to all of the vendors that you're interested in! We will see you soon!

How long have you been involved with weddings on the Outer Banks?

Black Pelican has been an Outer Banks staple since 1993, and we began to do catering and weddings in 2004.

What makes the Outer Banks unique and special to you?

We love the history and the community on the Outer Banks. Our name derives from an old sailor’s tale about how when danger was near on the sea, a black pelican was always hovering above, ready to lead the ship to safety.

What separates Black Pelican Catering from other local vendors?

Our business is unique because our world class professional chefs put their heart and soul into each individual plate that is presented to our customers. Our coordinators have a love for meeting new people and helping them bring their wedding vision to life. We are known for our consistency and diverse cuisine.

What are you most looking forward to about the 2020 Wedding Weekend?

We love the opportunity to work with all the exceptional wedding professionals, as well as working with new couples planning their unique wedding on the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks.

Do you have any advice for a couple planning on booking your catering services?
