Choosing 11th hour events was the best decision we ever made regarding our wedding! Deborah was always very helpful and answered any questions we had! She was very professional and knowledgeable from the start. Even though the weather wasn’t what we expected on wedding day, Deborah made sure to meet our needs and move us to the golf course at Powell’s Pointe, in the end everything turned out perfect. And we left with a huge smile on our faces, and our guests included! Thank you Deborah and thank you to all your team and vendors for making our day memorable and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Deborah did the photography for our wedding in October this year and I can’t even find the words to truly express how impressed we were! Deborah and I connected prior to the wedding to go over the informational sheet she emailed to be sure that any questions we had were answered and to assure me of the time of her arrival. She arrived early, and took ALL of the pictures I could have imagined asking for, and different shots I didn’t even think to ask about. Deborah made myself and my wife feel comfortable, and empowered throughout the entire experience and you can see that come through in our photos. She was also great with our rowdy bunch and had us joining our cocktail hour ahead of schedule. We can’t recommend Deborah/ Beach Portraits enough, if you’re considering look no further!!

Deborah was just wonderful - she took both engagement and wedding photos for us, and each time she went above and beyond to make sure we had beautiful pictures from these important events! She is extremely well priced, and beyond professional - I loved how she would help us and our guests pose to get the most flattering pictures, she did such an amazing job directing people.
It suddenly started pouring rain right before the ceremony was supposed to take place on the beach, and Deborah was on point - she was running back and forth from the beach to the beach house, getting photos with the ocean in the background whenever the rain stopped, and making sure we got all the pictures we were looking for!
And for all the photos she took there was a very quick turnaround, they're beautiful and I know I'll be looking at them often to remember that special day! She really captured how wonderful my wedding day was!

Deborah took the most incredible photos at our wedding, and was able to very efficiently capture every pose, combination of family and request we had. She was extremely professional and clearly had a great deal of experience. I could not believe how many pictures she actually managed to take in the short time we spent after the ceremony, all of which were gorgeous and the joy of the day could be felt through the photos. Would highly recommend!

I would recommend Deborah to everyone. She is the most amazing wedding coordinator/ photographer. I feel like by the time my wedding happened I had know her my whole life. She helped me make my dream wedding come true and there are not enough words to ever thank her enough !

Called several at the last minute. Lucky for us Deborah was available. Lots of fun and very patient, She made the whole experience a blast! Quality of proofs are great. Can not wait to see the final. We are so glad to have had this opportunity. Without a doubt, Deborah is the master photographer of the OBX!!!

From the moment we met her, we knew she was special. She delivered nothing less in her photography. She captured the beauty, the love and joy of our daughter’s wedding, from the pre- wedding photos to the reception. Besides so many wonderful pictures to remember this special day, we have made a friend for life. Look no further than Deborah. She will not disappoint. 💗

Deborah is straight forward to the point and a professional. We loved her work and the results from it. She is fantastic at what she does and we highly recommend her. We had our flash usb within two days and a few photos posted to social media by the day after. The results were quick and the photos look amazing.

Deborah captured both our engagement pictures and our Wedding day- and the results were absolutely beautiful! She was a pleasure to work with during the entire year up to my wedding day and really captured the perfect photos of my wedding party and family! She was even open to all of my crazy picture suggestions! We are so glad she was our photographer on the most important day of our lives, and will be printing and framing many of her beautiful shots!

Where to even start. Deborah Sawyer is the most talented photographer in the area. From start to finish, she photographed my wedding with perfection. Every moment that we wanted captured, she made it happen. I can not say enough good things about her as a person, and her as a photographer. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and precise photographer, Deborah Sawyer is your go-to!
