Matt & Jessica {Married} l Kitty Hawk Hilton Pier House Wedding l OBX Wedding Photographer

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

After getting engaged Matt & Jessica took a trip here to the OBX and attended the Outer Banks Wedding Expo, where they picked up lots of information and the Outer Banks Bride Magazine. I always love when I find a personal connection with my couples, so I wasn’t at all surprised when I received a voicemail from Matt. I’d been out of town attending a workshop, when he called to inquire about availability. Turns out, Matt is a pilot for the same airline as my brother. He told me the story of seeing my picture on my website and thinking, “Hey, that looks like a female version of Kevin”. Thanks Matt!  Not sure if I should have been offended by that one…hehe…as I think my brother looks like the male version of ME. ;) Needless to say it’s always small world, and a text to my brother to confirm he did in fact have a sister who is a photographer on the OBX resulted in us working together!

They lucked out with a beautiful day here on the OBX. The folks at the Hilton did a fabulous job of setting up, and DJ Bruce rocked the house! Jessica’s friend did the florals, and they were gorgeous! Seriously, I’ve had more emails about those flowers….everyone loves them! Matt & Jessica, it was so wonderful working with you!
