The Outer Banks Wedding Association is excited to have her sponsorship for the 2018 Wedding Weekend and Expo!

Q: What do you love about OBX weddings?
I would say that one of my favorite aspects on photographing weddings on the Outer Banks is the uniqueness of every single wedding. One weekend I might be up in Corolla for a full 10 hour wedding day, and the next I might be in Buxton by the lighthouse photographing a smaller more intimate ceremony of less than 20 people. The choices are unlimited when it comes to your locations and every spot up and down our coast is so beautiful that you would never go wrong.
I love the natural beauty of our island, the gorgeous beaches, the sunsets, the wild horses in Corolla, the ferry ride to Ocracoke, the lighthouses…there isn’t anywhere like this in the world. You can plan a wedding, big or small, and be accommodated perfectly anywhere on the OBX.
Q: What is unique about your business? What are you known for?
We are extremely passionate about what we do. We absolutely love photography, documenting moments and gaining friendships with everyone that we get the opportunity to photograph. We want the entire experience from a couples first inquiry email to the final delivery of their wedding images and photo album to be wonderful! We are very detailed-oriented, interested in all of your wedding planning and the entire process from start to finish with each vendor. We feel as if being fully knowledgeable on all the different aspects of your special day with help us create and document the most amazing moments.
Q: What are you most excited about for the 2018 Outer Banks Wedding Weekend and Expo? Do you have any advice for a couple that is interested in booking your services?
I could go on for days about how amazing the Wedding Weekend and Expo is for any couple looking to plan their wedding day! Having the opportunity to meet each vendor face to face and get a connection with the people that will help bring your wedding to life is the most relaxing feeling for a couple! I am a very proud sponsor of the wedding weekend and expo! This organization and every vendor and business involved put so much time and effort into making it the best experience for everyone attending and the reward of the entire experience is like no other. I cannot wait to meet the new couples, start building friendships, meet with brides that have been corresponding about our services, and display a booth that truly expresses our personality, style, and business.
