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.

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.

Her positive and warm attitude allowed me to feel comfortable and it shows in my pictures.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

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.

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze.

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.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

Our philosophy is pretty simple: tell the most amazing love stories through photographs that capture true love, real emotion and beautiful moments. As your photography team, our job is to tell your love story the way that it unfolds. We believe in preserving the moment with artistry and authenticity. We want your photographs to be timeless and beautiful. From the big moments to the subtle details, we give each element equal attention and care. If it matters to you, it’s important to us, and that commitment will shine through in every image.

Kylie and her team were awesome! They really captured our day the way we wanted with some touch’s of their. Communication and planning was super easy. If we ever had questions or concerns we had an answer promptly. We can’t wait to get the full album.
