Wedding Photography in Outer Banks

In a saturated market of wedding photographers, Matt stands head and shoulders above the rest. Hiring him was easily one of the best decisions we made. He is not only a phenomenal talent with an unparalleled eye for "magazine-quality" shots, but he is also an absolute joy to work with. His creative, laid-back, and humorous personality made us feel completely at ease during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Matt is the perfect mix of artist and professional; he captured our most stunning moments with ease and delivered the final gallery impressively fast! We will treasure these beautifully captured memories for the rest of our lives.

I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day. Her editing style is everything I was looking for and more. We also loved that she offers smaller packages for the bride and groom who are eloping and having a smaller wedding ceremony and reception. She was very thorough with finding out what exactly we were hoping to capture and prompt with replying back. She ended up capturing every moment we had requested her to take. I am absolutely in love with how our photos turned out and can’t stop looking through them all! She was even able to make each pose look effortless considering neither of us are very good at posing our bodies. I HIGHLY recommend Maria if you are looking for the perfect dreamy photos.

We are SO happy we chose Coastal Shots as our wedding photographer! From the moment we did our engagement shoot, we knew we made the right choice. Ryan showed his creative skills and quickly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, he was just as amazing. He kept such a calm, reassuring presence and made sure we stayed on our schedule without ever feeling rushed. His second photographer, Valerie, was incredible too. She had an eye for detail and clearly knew what she was doing. Both of them went above and beyond to capture the most perfect moments of our day, including drone arial shots. We really couldn’t have asked for a better team, even our guests loved them! We highly recommend Coastal Shots to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, fun to work with, and genuinely cares about their clients.

From the top, 10/10 would recommend. Shane is amazing. He is very personable. He wanted to meet with us before the wedding so, in his words, there wouldn’t be a stranger at the wedding. He is easy to work with, kind and just wonderful. But what really pushes Shane to hero level for me, our wedding weekend was rained out. I was absolutely devastated because having wedding photos on the beach were so important to me. Shane was flexible and allowed us to take an hour of our contracted time a few days early to take some stunning photos in front of the Bodie Lighthouse and on a nearby beach. I will always be incredibly grateful that he went out of his way to help achieve that goal for me.

Jenni was simply perfect to work with. I am a very detail-oriented person, and Jenni matched my specificity and my energy as well. We were set to have a sunrise shoot in Avon, but our rental moved houses due to a power outage before we arrived. We ended up staying in Frisco, which changed the angle of the sunrise. Jenni helped me navigate the process of figuring out the best angles for the shoot. We even had some weather issues and I was super lucky that Jenni had extra availability, which she readily offered me. We caught my (now) fiancée by total surprise! Jenni was so professional, friendly, and matched our energy 1:1. The photos were absolutely stunning and everyone from friends and family, to fellow gym regulars were sure to let us know! We highly recommend Jenni for any occasion.

Katie continues to be our family's photographer of choice. She went above and beyond when we got married and asked her to travel to NYC for the weekend. She brought a sense of comfort and fun to the entire experience. Everyone was at ease with Katie there and her ability to create an instant bond with our videographer (who she met that day) made it that much clearer that she was the perfect fit. We continue to use Katie every time we're in OBX and love that she got to be part of our special day in NY.

I have the privilege of calling Naomi a friend since 2015 and to have her as my wedding photographer almost 10 years later with her husband Luke was the greatest joy. They not only came to the south of France to photograph our wedding but stayed with both our families for a couple days before and after the wedding day and were able to photograph precious moments that we will cherish for life. The planning before the wedding was so easy, Naomi and Luke really know what they're doing so you can completely let go and relax knowing that you're in very, very good hands. They sent us the pictures just two months after the wedding with a first preview a week or two after the big day which made us relive the day in such a beautiful way. We love you very much Naomi and Luke and I guess we'll have to host a big party for our 10th anniversary so that you can come back to take some lovely pictures and enjoy Provence and the vineyards again ;)

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!

Robert was absolutely! Spent a good portion of the day with us and took so many Amazing pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Loved having him as part of our special day!

Jason really helped us capture such an amazing day. We live out of state and it was very difficult to find the perfect vendor. I’m so glad we went with Jason! He made the day just amazing. He took specific pictures we wanted and more. He has such a great personality and makes getting your picture taken all day and all night fun and beautiful!
