OBX Wedding Photographer

The OBX, 4×4 Beach, Corolla, Duck, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Manteo, and Buxton

Beautiful OBX Wedding Photography for the DIY bride, the girl who’d rather go barefoot than wear heels, who laughs when the Outer Banks wind steals your veil, and the person who believes the best moments can’t be staged — welcome home. The OBX was made for you. Here, the ocean becomes your backdrop, the dunes your aisle, and the sky your cathedral. As a destination wedding photographer serving the Outer Banks for almost ten years, I enjoy the magic. Weddings in the Outer Banks are unforgettable: they’re not about performance, they’re about presence. Whether you’re eloping in Corolla, celebrating in Duck, hosting a barefoot beach ceremony in Old Nags Head, or celebrating with the wild ponies at the Mark Twain House on the 4x4 beach...welcome home. Call me at (252) 770-7174.

Professional wedding, event & portrait photography

I love photographing fun couples as much as you love your wedding dress, and I’d love to be the person behind the camera on your wedding day. I’ve spent 15 years in the wedding industry — photographed more than 700 weddings — I’m published online and in print — I’ve been inside the White House — so yeah, I’m what other photographers refer to as a pro. I’ll answer any question you have. Even if you don’t end up hiring me, I’ll help in any way I can.

I’m already booking 2026-27 weddings

Steven Parker’s Hudson Valley Film Wedding Photographer – 35mm, 120, Holga & Medium Format

I direct with purpose and observe with patience: sculpting light while allowing emotion to remain unguarded. I fix small details but never interrupt what’s real. The result is images that are editorial in sensibility, documentary in truth, intimate in spirit, and alive with emotion. There’s an elegant tension between fine art and documentary — a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments with an ability to distill the essence of weddings into images that are both intimate and enduring.

I am a published, award-winning photographer operating a portrait studio in the beautiful Hudson Valley, located in between Westchester and the Catskill Mountains, along the shores of the scenic Hudson River. I have been inside the White House, photographed presidential candidates, celebrity rock bands and the dentist down the street. I have photographed more than 700 weddings in my career.
