October 23rd, 2009 - Susie and Joe

We love this house! It is in the 4X4 area of the island which means no roads, you drive on the sand to go to this location. There is always someone who gets stuck in the sand which adds to the excitement, so make sure to tell your guests! It's a great location for a smaller wedding where all guests are staying together in the house. For this family of 7, it was perfect. There is no more perfect pool area reception than this one. Suzie decided on Julie Dreelins Beach Productions photo/raw video package for this wedding. This custom package included 5 hours of photo and 5 hours of raw footage video for a discounted rate.

A Double Wedding-A High End Wedding at Half the Price?

October 17th 2009 Double Wedding

At first the vendors doing this wedding at the Kilmarlic Club near the Outer Banks, NC were worried about logistics. Do the brides walk down the aisle at the same time, do they cut the cake at the same time? The question was asked, are they friends? Yes to all of them! This wedding photographed by Julie Dreelin and Lauren Cowart of Beach Productions ended up working out perfectly, thanks to their planner, Ocean Aisle Events's Julie Hume. She would say yes, the brides did put more pressure on the vendors having more food, more decorating, and more photography, but it did pay off. If Julie Hume can plan this event I would say she can plan anything!

Getting the Perfect Sunset Shot

Date: November 3rd, 2009 | Category: Outer Banks, The Best Locations

October 10th wedding - Stephanie and Curtis

Julie Dreelin's Beach Productions staff photographer Lauren Cowart photographed this wedding at the Village of Nags Head Golf Links in Nags Head, NC. Julie Dreelin talked with the bride and groom on planning the evening so that they could hit the sunset right on. At the last minute they decided to change around the first dance in order for Lauren to take advantage of an early glow to the sunset. Always talk with your photographer on planning around the sunset in a beach wedding. The photos afterwards are priceless!

Jessica and Ben- a do it yourself fashionista couple

Date: October 28th, 2009 | Category: Affordable Style, Best of the Best Wedding Houses, Do-it-Yourself, Fashion, Featured Weddings

This wedding took place in Duck, NC at one of our favorite wedding houses, the Saltaire House - although it is not on the ocean, the house is located perfectly between the ocean and the sound so that you can get both types of shots. At this wedding, the photographer, Julie Dreelin, took the bride and groom across the street from the house for some beautiful sunset shots before coming back to party.

Jessica knows style! Even during her toast her maid of honor said she thought Jennifer would marry a fashion model from tv. She chose Ben, a fashionable surfer instead, and what a couple they make! Jennifer went for the new style of "net" for her veil and accessorized her own boquet with a beaded belt she found- we loved it! This bride and groom belong in a fashion mag, wouldn't you say?

This out of town bride took "do it yourself" to the extreme. She made her own invitations, and all paper products as well as decorated her entire reception in just a matter of a couple of hours. The lighting looked gorgeous(see bottom photo).

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!
