About

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Billy Beach is a wedding photographer based in Wilmington, NC. A part of the wedding industry for over a decade, he specializes in beach weddings but has photographed every type of event in nearly every venue in the surrounding area and beyond. Billy uses contemporary, traditional, and photojournalistic approaches to photography to capture perfect memories of your special day. While most weddings are captured using up-to-date professional digital cameras and equipment, Billy Beach also offers film weddings, including 35mm, medium format, and Polaroid-type instant photos for a combination of beauty and nostalgia. As the owner of the area's only local film processing lab, film weddings are available at very affordable rates.

Billy Beach Photography helps couples keep control of their wedding budget by offering hourly rates as low as $300, and provides a quick turnaround with full digital delivery. A release letter is included with your photos, so you can have prints made at the processor of your choice when the time is right, not when the photographer insists you must make a decision. For your convenience and benefit, prints can be ordered online with wholesale pricing directly from Billy Beach.

Family Photos December 2023

Harry Taylor was our photographer for family photos on the beach. Harry did great job engaging all 18 of us. He made great suggestions, all of us had a great time, and the photos were great.

The best bang for your buck!

Billy was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about him. On time, great attitude, listened to my ideas and visions, took amazing quality pictures and very affordable. Everything was so great I don't have words. If I could give him 25 stars I would. Use Billy! You won't regret it.

Picture Perfect!

I am so happy I decided to go with Billy as our photographer for our special day! He was a pleasure to work with and captured every moment perfectly, on what turned out to be the absolute perfect day. I never had to worry about him getting certain photos because before I even thought to ask he’d be rearranging it so that we had a picture with everyone. I’m in love with how all of my pictures turned out, and how quickly he was able to edit them and send them. Overall I have no complaints, and think anyone would be lucky to have him as their photographer.

One of the family.

Billy is the best. He was so cool and go with the flow it was honestly the thing I needed. He just blended in with the crowd unless he needed something from us. I loved that he was willing to come when I needed him and he didn’t require payment up front. If I ever need some family photos or if anyone needs a recommendation he will be the first one I turn to.
