weddings

Ask any bride to describe her wedding day and chances are she’ll respond, “It was all a big blur”.

[custom_frame_right]

That’s why you want capture the entire day on film for posterity (especially for your future children, who will get a big kick of seeing Mom and Dad back in the day). Photographs ensure that you will be able to relive the day decades from now.

The Wedding Day is absolutely the most exquisite moment in a person’s life. Nothing that has happened to them until then, and very little after will ever have more excitement, sentiment or meaning to them.

I will document your wedding with natural photographs that capture the true moments of the day, from putting on the brides veil to the last cheek-to-cheek. With my unobtrusive photojournalistic style, mixed with just a touch of portraiture, and my responsiveness to your wishes, I create memories that are as unique as your wedding.

The moments that define the spirit of a wedding day may not always be the most obvious ones – a telling glance between sisters, the ritual of dressing the bride, a quiet moment between newlyweds. All this may be just beyond the circle of celebration. I tell the story a wedding with the same insight and freshness that distinguishes my work as a leading portrait photographer. Clients come to me for wedding photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime and for images that bring back the natural beauty of the moment.

Wedding FAQs

[toggle_content title=”How do you work?”]
I work alone. I’m very good at that too. There are occasions when a second photographer would be of benefit and if so, I have my own associates and other great photographers to select from.
[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”Why should I hire you to photograph my wedding?”]
This is an important question to ask. There is no shortage of people out there willing to take your money to photograph your wedding, but you need to be confident in your choice. There is much more to wedding photography than just photos. Your wedding photographer will likely be with you all day so you will want to be sure that your photographer is someone that will remove stress from your day, not add to it.

I take a very personal approach to weddings and to my clients. I make sure that I understand your expectations and what is important to you so there are no unhappy surprises on your wedding day or when you first see your photos. I accomplish this by making time to talk with you about your wedding day, understanding the photos that are most important to you, and making sure that we are on the same page before your wedding day. This ensures that you feel confident in your choice of photographer, and it is one less thing you have to think about on your wedding day.

[toggle_content title=”My uncle is good with a camera, why hire a professional?”]
With the popularity of digital camera increasing and the cost of quality cameras decreasing almost everyone knows of someone who considers photography as a hobby. This is not to discount amateur photographers; there are many talented photographers out there that may be capable of successfully shooting your wedding. However there are some key differences that you should be aware of.

If you know this person, wouldn’t you prefer that they enjoy your wedding day, and not have to worry about photographing it? Speaking as someone that takes their camera with them everywhere, there’s a good chance that while your uncle/cousin/co-worker etc. will take quite a few photos at your wedding, there will be a point when they just want to dance, eat, drink, mingle, etc. They should be able to enjoy themselves!

-While someone may be an excellent landscape/street/macro photographer, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll make a good wedding photographer. Aside from having experience shooting weddings, I am also always looking at wedding photos, browsing wedding magazines, attending workshops, keeping in touch with the industry, etc. This gives me a specific set of tools that other photographers may not have.

-Backup! We’ve all heard of Murphy’s Law. Since weddings only happen once, your photographer needs to be prepared for anything. I prepare for the inevitable by having multiple cameras, multiple lenses, multiple flashes, etc. If I drop a camera, I have another. Break a lens? No problem. Flash dies? I have a replacement on deck. I make sure I have plenty of charged batteries on hand and gigabytes worth of extra memory cards. This ensures that there is not a single point of failure.

-Backup! Since accidents can happen on location and at home, I always make sure that I have multiple copies of your wedding photos on separate hard drives, one of which is off site. I have a system in place for transferring your photos from memory cards to hard drives, and I am always over-protective when it comes to data loss. Again, there are no do-overs for wedding photographers; best to be prepared.
[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”Can my family and friends see my photos too?”]
Absolutely! Your wedding gallery will be password protected, but you are free to give that password to anyone you like. Friends and family are also able to order any prints they would like from the proofing gallery as well.
[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”How far in advance are you booked?”]
I have photographed weddings on as little as a week or even a few days notice and as much as two years notice. Dates do book up fast, so if you are getting married during popular seasons, it is best to reserve your date well in advance. I’m available to discuss your wedding photography anytime at 800.646.5812
[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”I want to reserve my date, what do I need to do?”]
Great!  First, fill out this basic information form.  Second, send in your retainer.  A $500.00 retainer is required to secure your date. (If your date happens to not be available your retainer will be fully refunded.) I’ll then be in touch and we can go over all the details of your wedding.

Lots of images of large, medium and small family groups on and off the beach in New Jersey and Corolla and Duck and the entire Outer Banks of North Carolina. There are also many images of sunrises, sunsets and surfing photos in the Outer Banks, along with a mix of dog and pet photography, business portraits and headshots from sessions in New York City and all over New Jersey. Lots of fun photos from my journey.

Funny how the good stuff usually isn’t the stuff at all.

It’s quiet mornings…salt air…a shell in the sand…and those few minutes when the sun reminds you to slow down and just be where your feet are.

Keep collecting moments. The rest tends to sort itself out. ☮️❤️🙂 #liveyourdash #obxsunrise
Real talk...
Anybody can buy a professional grade camera, but the camera doesn’t create the photo.
Years from now you won’t remember what camera somebody used.
You’ll remember who was standing beside you.
Kids.
Families.
Moments.
Everybody together under one roof again.
Do it right.
Hire a professional to make that family portrait you’ve always wanted.
Because one day these moments become priceless.

Do it now...
Because sometimes next time...
Becomes never.

I’d love to help create something your family will treasure long after the beach week ends.

✌️❤️🙂

Freedom, family, ocean air, and little footprints in the sand. 🇺🇸
Grateful today for those who made moments like this possible.
Hold hands. Slow down. Savor the moment. ❤️☮️🙂
Real talk...
One day these beach weeks become stories.
The people.
The laughs.
The sandy kids.
The sound of the ocean.
Right now you’re living the stuff you’ll someday look back on.
Take a picture.
Better yet...
Get in one too.
✌️❤️🙂

There’s something kind of cool happening during beach weeks...
Phones get put down a little more.
People stay on the beach a little longer.
Families sit together a little closer.
Take it in.
And while everyone’s here...
Do it right. Hire a professional and make that portrait you’ve always wanted.
Because one day this week becomes the story everyone talks about.
Do it now...
Because sometimes next time...
Becomes never.
✌️❤️🙂

Funny thing about beach weeks...

While you’re in them, they feel normal.

Everybody under one roof again. 

Kids running around. 

Ocean air and sandy feet.

Don’t just snap a few phone photos.

Do it right. Hire a professional to make that portrait.

Because one day these moments become priceless.

Do it now...Because sometimes next time...Becomes never.✌️❤️🙂
Somewhere along the line people started thinking exercise was about punishment.

I’ve never really seen it that way.

For me it’s always been about feeling good.
Clear head.
Strong legs.
Good energy.
Better mornings.

I still run at least a mile every day, move my body, eat pretty clean, do some yoga … and yeah… I still enjoy a couple of beers now and then too. 🍺🙂

I’m not chasing perfection.
I’m just trying to feel alive and stay engaged with life.

And honestly…
I think optimism might be just as important as vegetables.

Keep moving.
Keep laughing.
Keep going. ☮️❤️😀

Sunrise sneaking over the dunes in Corolla… wildflowers glowing… salty air… 

“Here’s to us believers.” — Willie Nile ☮️❤️🙂 #corolladise #OuterBanksSunrise
Every sunrise out here feels like a little reset button. A fresh tide. A clean stretch of sand. Another chance to get it right… or just start again.

“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.” — Meister Eckhart

☮️❤️😎 #keepmovingforward  #liveyourdash #OuterBanksSunrise
Some mornings in Corolla just feel like a reminder…

you don’t have to have it all figured out. 

Progress isn’t about where you start, but about showing up and moving forward.

One step through the sand. One sunrise at a time. ☮️❤️😎 #obxsunrise
“Quietness is an essential part of all awareness.” — Margaret Wise Brown

There’s a moment out here… right before the day really gets going… when the only thing you hear is the ocean doing its thing and the sand under your feet. No noise. No rush. Just space to notice it all.

That’s where this place hits different.
Not in the big, loud, obvious way… but in the quiet.

Footsteps in the sand.
Sun climbing slow over the Atlantic.
A path that’s been walked a thousand times… and still feels brand new.

You don’t come to Corolla just to see it.
You come to feel it.

And sometimes… the best part of that feeling
is the quiet. ☮️❤️😀 #corolladise #corollasunrise #obxsunrise
love me some sun spots ✌️❤️☀️🐾 #duncanthejackrat
good ole dunc, photographed about an hour ago while hanging in the living room, then edited in chat (ai) and the iPhone photo app. Use the tool, don’t be a tool 🤣✌️❤️🐾 #keepmovingforward #classicallydigital
Low tide, soft light, and that quiet stretch where the fence just disappears into the Atlantic…

No crowds, no noise… just the sound of a small wave rolling in and the sky doing its thing.

Corolla mornings don’t ask for much—just that you show up. ✌️❤️😀 #obxsunrise #liveyourdash
Most dog photos live on your phone.
The best ones live on your walls.

If you’ve been thinking about doing this…
do it now.

Because yeah… sometimes later becomes never.

That quiet moment when the Atlantic wakes up…
light spilling over the horizon, waves just starting to breathe, and the old horse fence standing there like it’s seen it all before.
Corolla mornings hit different. ☮️❤️🙂

Corolla just moves a little slower…Flip flops. Ocean air. No real schedule.And somehow… that’s when families feel the most like themselves.I wrote a quick post about the slow rhythm of life here—and why it might be the most important time to capture your family portrait 👇👉 Read it here: https://blorenz.com/2026/04/the-slow-rhythm-of-life-in-corolla/ Because sometimes…Later becomes never.Peace, love, and beach time. ✌️❤️🙂#CorollaNC #OuterBanksLife #BeachVibes #CorollaFamilyPhotographer #OBXFamilyPhotos FamilyMoments RepublicOfCorolla
There is a profound beauty in simply being alive.

When you see it, truly see it, life stops feeling like something you’re chasing…

…and starts feeling like something you’re gently holding in your hands, grateful for every breath. ✌️❤️😀 #liveyourdash #obxsunrise
When was the last time your whole family was together?
Not just immediate family…
Everyone.
Grandparents. Kids. All of it.
Yeah… doesn’t happen that often.

As the sun climbs up over Corolla… the whole beach just kind of wakes up slow.

Salt air.
Rolling waves.
Barefoot mornings.

No rush… just that quiet OBX magic doing its thing.
☮️❤️🙂 #corolladise #obxsunrise
the Easter doggie has arrived, must’ve been him who hid those darn eggs 🤪❤️✌️😀 #HappyEaster
Real question…
Is your dog really just a pet?
Yeah… didn’t think so.
They’re part of the family.
Which is exactly why they belong in your beach photos too.
I wrote a quick post about why dogs are always welcome in my Outer Banks portrait sessions 👇

You’ll be really glad they were in the photo.
Peace, love, and sandy paws. ✌️❤️🙂

There’s a moment every evening in Corolla…
When the sun drops low, the light turns golden, and everything just slows down.
That’s when the magic happens.
That’s why sunset is hands down the best time for Corolla beach family photos.
I just put together a quick post explaining why this time of day makes all the difference 👇�👉 Read it here: https://blorenz.com/2026/03/the-magic-of-sunset-portraits-on-the-outer-banks/

And if you’re thinking about doing this while everyone is together…
Don’t wait too long.
Sunset spots book first.
Peace, love, and OBX sunsets. ✌️❤️🙂
