Mike and Allie Hawkins of Island Photography are a husband and wife team with more than 10 years experience photographing weddings together.  Having begun their careers in San Diego, CA, they moved to Duck, North Carolina five years ago to take on new challenges and be closer to family.  Wedding photography is an interesting anomaly.  It has just as much to do with matching personalities and client relationships as it does with talent behind the lens.  On your wedding day, it’s important to have professionals you can trust to capture memories of your day’s events and forever document the special moments of friends and family.  Mike and Allie know what to look for, know where to be and how to capture the important images of your first day together as husband and wife, all while keeping things fun.  This allows you to celebrate, relax and enjoy the big day.
     Though specializing in wedding photography, Island Photography is a great choice for special events and family beach portraits too.  As the premier photographers on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Mike and Allie are referred by many of the top venues throughout the OBX.  These include: The Currituck Club and The Whalehead Club in Corolla, Duck Woods Country Club in Southern Shores, The Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk, and the Sanderling Inn and the Saltaire in Duck.  They travel the entire Outer Banks, including the Northern beaches of Corolla, Pine Island, Sanderling and Duck; the towns of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head and Manteo; and the Southern beaches of Rodanthe, Avon and Cape Hatteras.
