Going flying above the Outer Banks is always a treat - what a great way to entertain your guests while they are here! Also, my husband there on the right fly's banners for wedding ceremonies up and down the beach all summer. This was just a couple of local jokers and use having a fun afternoon spin -
Lana and Steve's wedding was at the Saltaire in Duck on June 7th. We just love the uniform Steve! Lana and Steve used our favorite DJ in town not only for his dedication and personality but he just does a great job every single time, Don from Soundwavz. They also used Blooms and Jay Bowman - funny, my assistant asked if "Do you ever do weddings with anybody else"-well of course, but they are the best! As the heat of June fell into evening, the colors of the sky turned a magnificent color of blue right after sunset. We suggested having the dance right at this time for the primo dusk photos, they turned out wonderfully. Congrats Lana and Steve! Good luck on your magazine submission-
This was a great wedding but boy was it hot! Remember, June-August on the Outer Banks can be a scorcer. The best time for weddings is very early morning(6:30am) or around sunset (5pm). This wedding was at 10:45am in June. Minister Jay Bowman pulled through again at this wedding and made sure they had a great time anyway. Suzanne had to take a cool break before going to the reception. Although sunburnt and hot, everything turned out ok - Congrats Suzy and Marc!
H & J Wedding was a small elopement in Nags Head this week. The sunset was fast approaching on us so we had to work quick to get family beach portraits as well as our signature wedding photography! Funny, Joel was into the ring on the toes and running shots, Hilary wanted nothing but candids-we can do that! They had been going together for 10 years, and still this day was like a new beginning. Congratulations on your successful beach wedding H & J!
How fun was this couple! We've always been known for starting the documentary wedding revolution here on the Outer Banks-just remember, you saw these "poses"-NOT! at Beach Productions first:) This wedding took place at the brides parents home on Ocean Blvd. in Southern Shores, NC. The reception was at Duck Woods Country Club, one of my favorite places to photograph. The lighting coming in the large windows in the evening gave the wedding a perfect glow.
My friends know me as a lover of life. I am an athletic socialite who is a world traveler documenting all through photography. (watch out, you might get your photo taken when you least expect) A lady whom believes atmosphere and location are the key to life. A woman that gave up the Colorado mountains for beach life because she fell in love with a surfer.
You might know me from Julie Dreelins' Beach Productions or Beach Style Blog-the place to visit for all things styly. There is also my controversial experiment into inspiration of the salty bastards around me in The Salty Lady Blog or A Surfers Journal Blog-a photographic visit to New Zealand and Indonesia - all of which have formed my life since the year 2000. I've told my story through photography comments, the growing of a woman into herself experiencing life through non-conformity, making her own road and dreams happen.
If you can grasp an activist/athlete/entrepreur/
photographer/competitor/
non-conformist lady and life of the party - if you have it in you and have or have not expressed it, this blog just might intrest your inner soul. These words are for you my friends.
