OBX Wedding Photographer: Fun, Stress-Free, Beautiful, Nostalgic Photos for Dreamers & DIY Brides

Serving all the islands of the OBX, including the 4×4 Beach, Corolla, Duck, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Manteo, and Buxton.

Hi, I’m Steven — Your OBX Wedding Photographer

I’m not here to make you pose like a catalog. I’m here to capture the real, raw, *you* — barefoot on the sand, laughing with your dog, stealing kisses behind a dune, dancing under string lights with salt in your hair. I shoot with professional digital cameras to deliver crisp, vibrant, timeless images that feel warm, nostalgic, and full of life — without the wait or risk of film.

I’ve photographed over 700 weddings — from black-tie Hudson Valley galas to sunrise elopements with just two witnesses and a wild horse. I’ve been published in Vogue, Brides, and Junebug Weddings. I’ve shot inside the White House and on the 4x4 beaches of Carova where the road ends and the magic begins.

But here’s the truth: your OBX wedding doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to be *yours*. And I’m obsessed with making that happen.

Why Digital? Why OBX? Why Me?

Digital is sharp, reliable, and instant. It lets me capture every laugh, tear, and sunset glow in perfect clarity — with backups, previews, and peace of mind. I edit every image to have that nostalgic, film-inspired look: warm tones, soft grain, golden light — but you get your full gallery in 2–3 weeks, not months.

No light meter anxiety. No lost rolls. Just stunning, high-resolution photos you can print huge, share instantly, and cherish forever.

The OBX Is My Second Home

I’ve been coming to the Outer Banks since I was a kid. I know the secret spots where the wild horses graze at dawn. I know which dunes light up gold at sunset. I know the backroads to the 4x4 beach where you can say “I do” with zero footprints but yours.

I serve every inch of the OBX:

• Corolla – Wild horse ceremonies, lighthouse vows
• Duck – Intimate waterfront homes, sunset docks
• Southern Shores – Quiet beaches, no permits needed
• Kitty Hawk & Kill Devil Hills – Iconic piers, retro beach houses
• Nags Head – Jockey’s Ridge sunsets, dune-top portraits
• Manteo – Waterfront Park, historic charm
• Buxton & Hatteras – Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, dramatic skies
• 4x4 Beach (Carova) – Wild, remote, unforgettable

Stress-Free Photography for Non-Traditional & DIY Brides

You’re not a “traditional bride.” You’re a dreamer. A DIY queen. A rule-breaker. You want a wedding that feels like a weekend adventure — not a production.

I get it. I’m the photographer who:

• Helps you build a timeline around *sunset*, not a schedule
• Scouts locations with you (yes, I’ll drive the 4x4)
• Brings a cooler of LaCroix and a Bluetooth speaker
• Never says “smile!” (unless you’re already laughing)
• Edits your photos to feel like *your* vibe — warm, moody, golden, or airy

I’ve shot:

• Backyard vow exchanges with 10 guests and a food truck
• Sunrise elopements with just the couple and their dog
• DIY barn receptions with string lights and thrift-store china
• 4x4 mette ceremonies where the officiant was a best friend with a laptop

Your wedding. Your rules. My lens.
