Our friends at the wedding mags will love it to, detail after detail matched this theme throughout, all of the way down to the wine!

I often describe that you have to "feel comfortable" with your photographer but what exactly does this mean? I believe that if you are having a wonderful time getting your photographs taken you can relax and show your true love for one another. This does not happen by having a stuffy photographer setting you up for "candid" poses and randomly running around shooting every which way. It takes a trained eye and trained personality to have you in the right place at the right moment while making you feel relaxed to get what I call the "show the love" photos. This photograph could have been "posed" looking at the camera or at each other-it wouldn't give the look it has though. It has the look of love because Joey is actually pulling Josie towards him to whisper in her ear. I simply told them to stand in a place I knew would look hot with the sun flare in the background and teased him saying that "Why does he have to make us all stand on the beach taking these photos?" and that "It is all his idea", of course it was not. Saying this relaxed him into grabbing her for this beautiful shot-you see the love in it and I strive for this with every couple. - Julie
Avon is a gorgeous place for a wedding. It is a little bit of a hike from "town" but the beaches are deserted and a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. This bride and groom did not want anything fancy, "just show the love between us" she said. . . .What was funny is that she was very worried that the groom was not going to be into getting photographed-he loved it! It's all about feeling comfortable with your photographer and he had a great time, all I had to say was,"don't worry, we'll make this fun and easy".
The steel drum band was a huge hit - we absolutely love them! It's called One Love Caribbean Steel Drum Band - www.onelovesteelband.com
This couple also used our favorite new restaurant in town "Food Dudes". The guests raved about their presentation and delicious food. On a personal note, it is also my favorite restaurant in town, check it out.

The Arizona couple gets married on the beach! This fun couple said we love jumping shots, we do too Emily and Eric! Emily and Eric did a ton of decorating on their own at their event as well as using one of our favorite coordinators on the beach, Nanette of A Proper Setting located in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Our favorite were the sunset colored flowers that they used throughout their theme. Congratulations!
Devin and Larry were wed on 6/5 at the Kitty Hawk Pier. We have been doing quite a few weddings there lately, and have been trying to get creative with the photos there.
Check out the cool shots we took outside at twilight!

Julie Dreelin's Beach Productions photographed Maren and Jamie's Wedding Day years ago. Just a few weeks ago, we photographed her brothers wedding at the same lovely family house in Avon-photos still to be uploaded (Whitney/Soren Wedding). In the meantime, while Jamie and Maren were here at the beach we did a quick pregnancy shoot. There is more to come from this lovely and growing family! Congratulations you two. We can't wait to see the little one.
