Fantastic service
Had our wedding 10/20/2023 with Julie as our photographer. We also did a sunrise photo shoot that was included in our package. The photos from the sunrise photo shoot turned out great and my wife loves them. We can not wait for our wedding photos. Julie was professional, personable, and very helpful during the big day. I would highly recommend her for any of your photo needs. -

Julie was a dream!
From my very first phone call with Julie I knew she was the photographer for us. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day Julie was so easy to work with. She was always prompt to answer calls or emails, she made the planning process so easy. All of our photos turned out absolutely perfect, her style and easy going personality made the day so much more special. She handled all of our big family photos easily and didn’t miss a beat, from dealing with our toddlers, to my baby throwing up on my dress! She captured so many special memories and details of the day. We are so blessed that we found her, and we can’t wait to use her for family photos in the future. I feel like Julie went above and beyond for us and she never missed a beat. Needles to say she is absolutely amazing and we loved her and her work.-

Julie is amazing!!
Julie did a fantastic job on our wedding videography! In the words of my mom, “Julie has the touch. She is the master.” I will say this - although our video turned out perfect in the end, I wasn’t impressed with the guy who came on the day to do the footage, and our original highlight video looked like there wasn’t much effort put into it. However, I expressed my concerns with Julie and she made me a completely new highlight video that was phenomenal! Giving her 5 stars for making us a new video, and one that was amazing, to be watched hundreds of times over again! -

Julie was amazing! Within 48 hours we had a few sneak peeks and her style is everything I wanted to capture the day. She’s so easy at giving directions and catches everyone at their best angles... truly amazed! -

We absolutely love all of our photos, the shots turned out absolutely stunning!!-

Julie is the best!
Julie is one of those people where when you meet her, she feels like a friend you’ve always known. I spent a large portion of my wedding day with her and she not only put me completely at ease but also made taking photos fun and her work is AMAZING. All of our wedding party and family had fun while taking pics! I cannot say enough how much I recommend her to anyone getting married in OBX! -

Book Julie Dreelin & Her Team
My husband and I got married on the Outer Banks in June 2017. We live in Detroit, so we booked our vendors largely on reviews. From the first minute, Julie and her team made us feel so at ease. We worked with photographer Rachel - she was so helpful in the weeks leading up to our day, making sure she had a wishlist of photos, knew special details, family dynamics, etc. The day of, Rachel was just so wonderful. She made everyone feel totally at ease. Oh, and, of course, the photos are STUNNING. We got married in early June, so I expected to have to wait forever for photos. Not the case - we threw a small gathering at our home for friends who couldn't attend our small out-of-state ceremony and Julie and her team were mindful of that and worked to get us pics to have by that date. From start to finish, just so wonderful! -

Amazing, Fantastic, Wonderful, etc.
I contacted Julie to capture my proposal to my (then girlfriend) now fiance on the beach in Corolla. Julie was fantastic from the first email. She was in constant communication with me, had suggestions for everything, including the best place for the shoot, time of day, etc. and had a perfect suggestion for an amazing breakfast after the proposal! I had changed a few things at the last minute from what was originally talked about with Julie and she went right with it with no issues. I surprised my fiance by having her family meet us during the shoot to celebrate with us - Julie did not know they were going to be showing up, but on the fly was able to capture her reaction as well as her family's reaction as they approached us. She took the most breathtaking photos of us, and had our finished pictures to us in a week. It feels like forever when you're that excited to see, but in reality it was super fast. The actual shoot was a blast because of Julie and her infectious personality and style! We are planning on having our wedding in the Outer Banks and will absolutely be contacting Julie and her team for photography and video for our special day -

Julie did such a great job! We’re totally in love with all our photographs. She made sure to get good ones of everyone in our family and made my vision of my wedding portraits come to life. I really don’t like having my photograph taken but Julie made and my new husband feel relaxed. We had a fun time shooting with Julie. 11/10 would recommend.-

Julie and her team were very professional from the first email all the way through our wedding day. They arrived earlier than expected, extremely easy to work with and so much fun. I paid for photography, videography as well as a trash the dress session. Julie and her team were absolutely amazing. I would definately recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the area. I received my pictures back within a week and was absolutely amazed with the detail in each and every one of them. Julie Dreelins Beach Productions captured every moment of our wedding. We are so undecided on which one is our favorite as we love them all. After seeing how wonderful the pictures turned out I can't wait to see the video! -

Julie and her team were wonderful to work with! She always made my husband and I feel at ease while taking our pictures. She took our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures and we were blown away by the amazing photographs that she took!!! Her team also did our video and we used her for wedding planning services as well and everything went flawless. I would highly recommend Julie and her team if you are planning an Outer Banks wedding!-

My husband and I had our wedding last September in Duck and we just wanted to take a second to share our incredible experience with Julie. My family has had a vacation home in Duck for as long as I can remember, my family and friends would spend as much time as possible together there, so naturally it is a special place for us all. When my husband and I began dating we would make the drive down from northern Virginia to the obx when ever we had the chance. As soon as we got engaged both of us knew we had to be married on the beach in this special place! When we began planning this wedding we met several local photographers but as soon we met Julie we were impressed! She very easily going yet professional, and clearly she knows her business. I can't believe what a huge part she and her amazing team played in pulling this wedding off! She made everyone feel like she was more of a friend than just another vendor at the wedding. it's easy to see why she has been consistently at the top for so many years!! Thank you Julie and your team for making our dream a reality!! -

Julie and her team did amazing work at my daughters wedding in May 2017 on Jennettes Pier in Nags Head, NC. Julie spent time with my daughter to understand her vision and preferences. She delivered on them perfectly! Julie also was instrumental in building a working timeline for the day to insure all photos were possible in multiple locations. She hit every request. The photos are truly beautiful, every single one and we are thrilled! Julie and her team were so enjoyable and fun to be with for the day. Thank you, Julie for being a very special part of this great day! -

My fiance and I had been booking everything super last minute, and I was terrified that I would only be left with basic photographers. We went down for a wedding vendor weekend in March 2016, and were getting married June 2016. After meeting with a few photographers, and meeting Julie, we just clicked! She was amazing the day we met her, had such a great personality, completely honest about a time frame (other photographers said that we need to have at LEAST 6 hours booked, but they recommend 8), but Julie said really 5-6 hours was plenty - and it was- and her photography style completely matched us. I was booking from PA, and was in such a scramble to get everything in place, but Julie always got back to me, had a check list ready for me so I didn't forget anything. She was great. I wish I would have spoken with her more via the phone to get all my questions answered, but that was my fault, not her's. She was always excited to speak with me, was on time, brought her equally amazing assistant, and we had a great time. They really took the time with capturing family, details that you wouldn't think of. We got married on the 4x4 beach, and they made sure to capture a great sunset on Penny Hill, the colors are vibrant - I cannot stop staring at my gorgeous pictures. I would highly recommend Julie/Beach Productions to anyone. -

I am ashamed that I am just now writing a review for our experience with Julie Dreelin given that our wedding was almost two years ago but I wanted to make sure that I did because others need to know how incredible she is and our experience in working with her was. Julie is a friend of my brother but I never met her until the day of my wedding. I was a long distance bride planning my wedding in the OBX and I had been perusing wedding photographers online for weeks. I loved Julie's work so much. When my brother mentioned his friend that was a wedding photographer in the OBX I had no idea he was referring to Julie! I called her up and found her to be the most professional and sweet person. We were on a very strict budget and couldn't afford her for more than 2 hours but she managed to get every single photo we requested and more. SHE ASTOUNDED US. When we received the photos we were so blown away by her creativity and her eye for what makes a gorgeous photo. I should also say that Julie worked with an assistant and while we could see a difference between her photos and his, we were very pleased with all of them. We had her photograph getting ready, family and friends, the details of the ceremony and reception decor, the ceremony itself, family on the beach afterward and photos of the two of us on the beach after we were married. We didn't use a photographer at the reception (we regret that now) but to us, the most important moments were captured and we are thankful we made such an excellent choice in our photographer. It's also important to let you know that Julie arrived on time and made our experience very easy. Her personality put us at ease during our intimate after ceremony photos on the beach and she captured some beautiful shots. Julie, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. You made the most of the small amount of time we gave you and it really shows in our photos. You're a rock star! -

WOW! Julie is unbelievably talented. I have had nothing but wonderful compliments on our wedding photos. Our images are amazing and we are so happy with the whole experience. Julie took the time to work with us before hand and we really felt like she was a friend once the day of our wedding rolled around. Each shot really seemed to portray who we are as a couple. Nothing seemed staged, fake or forced and we had so much fun! Many of my friends have complained about the process of taking photos and for us it was one of the highlights of the day, we really enjoyed it. Julie is a beautiful person and it really shows though in her work! -

I was sooooo happy with Julie Dreelin and Beach Productions. We had Julie shoot the whole day and she was so great to work with. So enthusiastic but not in an annoying way. She was so excited about every picture she took which made us posing so excited to be in the photos. The whole planning process was great also, she was very easy to work with! We have recieved all of our photos and they are fabulous. We can't pick out a bad one in the bunch. She helped us relive our special day again through her photos. -

Julie Dreelin is an AWESOME person! I got married on May 12,2012 and had Julie and Chris photograph our special day. I had been planning for a little over a year. I started doing my research online before going to obx to meet with vendors. I ran across her blog and i was blown away by her work. My mom and I went down and were able to meet with her, I knew right away without a doubt I had to have her. I am beyond thankful i did! She has a Awesome personality! Does great work and takes so much pride in her work! She and her team work extremly well together and extremly hard to capture everything possiable on your special day. They are also VERY creative and find ways to make your pictures "yours". I am so thankful that i was able to have had the best photographers ever for my wedding day! If you are thinking about hiring Beach productions for your wedding or special event DO IT! You wont regret your decesion they are the best!!! Thank you Julie and Chris from the bottom of my heart... -

I cannot say enough about Julie and her staff. From day one she was professional, informative, friendly and to say the least TALENTED! I did an engagement shoot with her and she worked both my wedding at home in VA and beach reception in NC. When I came across her blog and saw her photos, I knew there was no need to look any further, her work was absolutely perfect!! She was up for doing anything I wanted, had so many incredible ideas and was super energetic. Highly, highly recommend Beach Productions! -

Oh how I can go on for hours about the amazingness that is Julie Dreelin!! I have yet to even see any of her photos from our wedding, but I know they will be AMAZING. When Julie showed up at the wedding, is when the wedding felt so very real... yet she kept my nerves in check and made me feel comfortable being the center of attention.
Every wedding she shoots she COMPLETELY captures every special moment of the event. She makes sure to get all the little details that most people would totally miss. Not to mention all her photos look like they belong in the pages of a magazine. Not only are her photos fabulous, but she has an amazing personality that just makes you feel relaxed. She always has a smile on her face and is full of laughter.
I can not wait to get out final images back and share them on wedding wire!! If you're in the Outer Banks area and you're looking for a photographer.... this is the photographer YOU WANT!! You won't be disappointed!! -

Julie was a great photographer to work with. She made sure to get all the shots we requested up front, and took many others that wouldn't even have thought of. She was extremely professional, always friendly, and gave great directions for more artistic shots. I highly recommend her to any bride who is willing to pay a little bit more for outstanding photos. -

Julie,
You are incredible! From the moment you entered our beach house the excitement began. Every time I turned the corner, you were there with a big smile, a camera and your ever-present relaxed style. You caught each intimate moment in the best light. The beauty of the photographs is unbelievable. They actually speak to me, reminding me how wonderful our wedding was and will always be. You contributed more to our wedding than stunning images. Your excitement for us as a couple, the act of marriage and having fun left everyone in your presence feeling extremely special. You are an exceptional photographer and an amazing woman. I am so thankful you were part of our wedding day.
Thank you,
Amanda
ps. Extra thanks for being the only one prepared to button my dress.

Awesome pictures. After the wedding you want to have the pictures reflect you rmemories of all the planning that came to fruition. Julie and her assistant more then captured these memories. She catches the moment often missed with most photographers. -

Julie was my favorite vendor during this whole wedding experience! Her photographs are so beautiful that everyone I showed them to were just blown away. She is so upbeat and fun to work with you don't notice the cameras around. Julie was extremely good at answering any questions I had regarding the photography but also any other vendor questions that came up. She is a professional through and through. Her prices may be a bit higher than some brides are willing to pay but I truly believe in "you get what you pay for". Beach Productions is worth the cost! -

Julie was amazing! If one of your priorities is to have high quality photos and video to capture your event, Beach Productions is the vendor to use - without a doubt. Julie was so easy to work with, I wouldn't have asked for more. -

Julie was great to work with and was very nice but there were things that I was unhappy with considering how much we paid. Julie and her assistant photographed our wedding in June 2012. Julie was late showing up to the bridal house for the "getting ready" shots that I really wanted. She showed up about 5 minutes before we had to hop on the golf carts and head down for the ceremony. So I didn't get any shots of me and my bridesmaids getting ready or pictures with my family; something I told her was important to me and I'm really disappointed that I didn't get those. I even tried calling her only to get her voicemail and no response from her. She also didn't get any shots of me and my husband walking back down the aisle after the I do's. Overall I'm happy with about 80% of the photos but for what we paid I think there were things she could have done differently. -

Julie was recommended to us, and she is very nice in person. When I first met her, however, I advised that we were looking for a vendor who still used film and not digital, and she assured me that she still used film. On our wedding day, however, we did not realize that she was using digital until after the ceremony, when her memory card filled up and she asked her assistant for another one. I took some solace in the fact that at least with digital, retouching pics would be much easier. However, in the process of completing our package, we were advised that the retouching we wanted could only be done for an additional (and exhorbitant) fee, and as performed by an outside web vendor. Admittedly, this was not an area that we had discussed in detail prior to the wedding, but considering the overall considerable price paid, we thought that at least some retouching would be part of it. As well, we hired both photography and videography to be used for a long block of time at the cermony and reception. Our expectation was that this would allow us to get lots of pics of everyone there, and not just us. However, we ended up being followed around like we were celebrities for most of the evening. Shots of most tables were not taken (even though requested). In a party of only 125 or so, quite a few people were not in any shots. As well, my husband didn't even get a picture of himself w/the Best Man (also specifically requested, and well, pretty standard). We also had to do some suggested posed shots which were rather cheesy, and have not been reprinted. However, there were other posed shots that we liked...The wedding video had some cheesy stock entry footage, among other things, that we would not have wanted in the final product, but we were not allowed to see a rough copy. Few people have viewed it besides us; if possible, we will have to reedit it ourselves. The wedding album turned out well, although we did not know that, given over 5000 pictures, we would be limited to some 60 shots in the final product. Julie and her crew, however, did do retouching of some of the pics without charging an additional fee, and it is a very nice album overall. Julie also initially did our engagement pics as part of the package, which turned out quite nice. She is a talented photographer. If we did this all over again, however, we are not sure that we would use her. If we did, we would spend more time nailing down ALL important details in writing beforehand. -

Felt taken advantage of
Zero stars if I could.
I had spoke with Julie and scheduled months in advanced. 4 weeks prior to my wedding day I shared we’d be in town and asked if we could meet to help with our nerves on the big day (familiar face behind a camera) . After several off emails back not addressing what I was asking, I called and was able to speak to Julie. She informed me she was busy on a shoot and I told her that this phone call was scheduled through email… she had no idea what I was talking about. I reviewed with Julie that I was hoping to meet who would be my videographer and Julie stated this was something she didn’t do and if that’s what I wanted “we weren’t a good fit”.
After being told that I asked for my deposit back and she agreed verbally over the phone.
I never received it and I tried contacting her weeks after multiple emails and phone calls. Nothing.
Leading up to my event the day before I receive an email from her staff asking for the location. They were never told I cancelled and I inquired about my deposit which they informed me since I was “cancelling” on short notice I would not get my deposit back. Even know the owner of the company told me my deposit was refundable about 4 weeks prior. I’m still waiting for a response.
Really disappointing especially when you’re out of town trying to arrange vendors and you put your trust into them for them to treat you like that. -
