We are Daniel, Kate, and Brooke, a team of experienced documentary portrait + wedding photographers from Hatteras Island. We love creating stunning and meaningful photographs. Our style is natural, bold, and sincere. Our work highlights unscripted moments, breathtaking scenery, and incredibly dynamic light.
We began our journey as wedding photographers in 2003 on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, & documented our first international wedding in 2009 in Nicaragua. Since that time, we’ve photographed weddings across the U.S., from summer weddings in Maryland to fall in Kansas, Thanksgiving in Chapel Hill and New Year's in Asheville. Our portfolio also includes Baltimore MD, Beaufort NC, Cleveland OH, Winston-Salem, NC, Charlottesville VA, Virginia Beach VA, Raleigh NC, Long Beach, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Staunton, VA, Richmond, VA, and Atlanta, GA. Collectively we've shot well over 1000 weddings, elopements, and renewals.
Our style is bold, colorful, adventurous.
We love contrasting light and shadows.
We want our photographs to breathe life, emotion, and authenticity.
Our wedding collections are a blend of photojournalism and dynamic portraiture.
When working with us clients can expect:
We're relaxed and low-key.
We get really excited about stunning light and great moments.
We'll be 100% committed to creatively photographing your day.
You're not an ordinary couple. We're not ordinary wedding photographers. You love powerful, original photos. We love taking them. You want to remember the beauty, the fun, the realness of your big day. Same!

Did we thank you for the photos? Reviewing the photos reminds me that Daniel was a pleasure to work with throughout the ceremony, and seeing the photos reminds me that his work is truly outstanding—both creative and professional! Photos are always one of the most important part of any wedding, and Beth identified photos as one of her top three priorities when we began planning many months ago. She was thrilled that Daniel was available for her date because she’s admired his work for years. With Covid restrictions limiting the size of our wedding, photos are even more valuable than usual.
