It’s hard to believe Amy and Matt had their wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn beach access in April of this year.  It just doesn’t feel that long ago we were in Kitty Hawk!  There were plenty overcast skies but the rain held off until the reception began.

Above: Important ring bearer activities.

Above: Important groomsmen activities.

Above: There was a slight drizzle during the pre-wedding photos.  Amy’s bridesmaids were very helpful!

Above: I was too far away to know what was so funny during the ring exchange.

Above: Don’t worry.  There was no mess!

Congratulations to you both!

Above: Mark gets a few more kisses before leaving for the ceremomy.
Above: Pretty colors this day!
Above: I brought the umbrella for writing in the sand.  I though this would be fun too!
Above: More kisses!
Thanks Amanda and Mark for what you did.

Wow.  This wedding took place at 10am on the beach in Kill Devil Hills.  At first we thought we were going to have to shoot pics in downtown Manteo due to the bright sunlight.  We were concerned because Dare Days was in process in Manteo.  Downtown was FULL of people.  We ended up having beautiful overcast skies on the beach!  We shot most of the images in Kill Devil Hills.  After the ceremony Audrey, Matthew and I walked around Dare Days as it was in process.  It was so much fun!

Above: Love love love large bridal parties!
Above: I really thought they were going to throw him in.  There was no doubt in my mind.  It was going to happen.  I needed him for another pic.  I got nervous!
Above: The flurry of activity of Dare Days in downtown Manteo.
Above: This was one of the shots while walking through Dare Days.  I remember thinking “I would love to get them in the circle of the train”.  Seconds afterward, the driver of the train offered to let us in.  How awesome!
Congratulations Audrey and Matthew!

Nicole and Ryan had a beautiful ceremony recently in Kill Devil Hills!

Kara and Dustin were super cool to work with.  I really loved shooting them on the beach.  Kara and her bridesmaids are soccer players so we incorporated a soccer ball in her images.  Dustin is a former baseball player so we brought a bat also.

Above: Is it me or does Dustin remind you of Christian Bale?

How cool is it that Tiffany had two ceremonies and two dresses on the same day?  We were at the Oasis Suites on Saturday morning.  The dress to the left was for her Catholic ceremony at the Holy Trinity by the Sea Church in Nags Head.  The dress to the right was for her beach ceremony in Kill Devil Hills a few hours later.

Above: Tiffany has help from her girls getting ready in the first dress.  The beach ceremony dress was to be a surprise to everyone.
Above: Walk number one!
Above: Tiffany along with her sister and mother prepare the second dress.  There are only a few people aware of it.
Above: Walk number two!
Above:  Instead of the usual glass taps to get the couple to kiss at the reception, Tiffany and Phil requested their guests stand and sing a verse from a song with the word “love” in it.  I didn’t think it would happen.  Almost every table made them kiss!
Congratulations Tiffany and Phil!

May sure has been full of rain!  Luckily the weather cleared up long enough for Faye and Tushar to have their beach wedding.  Congratulations to you both!

Angie and Trey held their ceremony in Kill Devil Hills and their reception in Manteo.  Luckily we had time to shoot at the beach and in downtown Manteo.  Congratulations Angie and Trey!

Originally we were going to do just a few images on the beach then go to downtown Manteo for more pics.  Luckily this was an overcast day.

Congratulations Jill and Robert!

Alesha and Tim had the kind of wedding where when it was over, you wanted to continue on with them.  They were a very fun and nice bunch.

Above: I wish I had Guitar Hero World Tour on XBox 360 and a high definition screen!

Above: The fellas broke out their top hats and pimp canes before the ceremony.

Above:  I love this image.  It may be my favorite one.

Above: The gazebo at Mile Post 9.1 is great as a background.

Above: Oh wait, this is my fav!

Above: I’m not sure how the garter toss started with this image…to the one below!

Congratulations Alesha and Tim! And a big thanks to Michael, Adrian, and Melissa for helping me out at the end of the night.
