OBX Wedding Photographer

Serving all the islands of the OBX, including the 4×4 Beach, Corolla, Duck, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Manteo, and Buxton

For the non-traditional, DIY bride, the girl who’d rather go barefoot than wear heels, who laughs when the Outer Banks wind steals your veil, and the person who believes the best moments can’t be staged — welcome home. The OBX was made for you. Here, the ocean becomes your backdrop, the dunes your aisle, and the sky your cathedral. As a destination wedding photographer serving the Outer Banks for almost ten years, I enjoy the magic. Weddings in the Outer Banks are unforgettable: they’re not about performance, they’re about presence. Whether you’re eloping in Corolla, celebrating in Duck, hosting a barefoot beach ceremony in Old Nags Head, or celebrating with the wild ponies at the Mark Twain House on the 4x4 beach...welcome home. Call me at (252) 770-7174.

Creative Destination Wedding Photographer with inclusive pricing + sensible packages for non-traditional and DIY brides

Offering fun, award winning analog + film + digital wedding photography, capturing composed portaits and unscripted moments in the Outer Banks, Hudson Valley, Catskills, Manhattan, Beacon, upstate and Saratoga

“The relationship between photographer and couple is symbiotic — a quiet intertwining. Their love nourishes the artist; the artist gives it form. Without that exchange, the images may still be beautiful, but they ring hollow — untouched by truth, absent of heartbeat.

Every couple brings their own weather, their own current, and stepping into that space means being changed by it. To do this work honestly, I must be selective. It isn’t about vanity or exclusivity; it’s about survival — maintaining creative freedom, dignity, and respect for both the client and the craft.”

Steven Parker’s Hudson Valley Film Wedding Photographer – 35mm, 120, Holga & Medium Format

I direct with purpose and observe with patience: sculpting light while allowing emotion to remain unguarded. I fix small details but never interrupt what’s real. The result is images that are editorial in sensibility, documentary in truth, intimate in spirit, and alive with emotion. There’s an elegant tension between fine art and documentary — a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments with an ability to distill the essence of weddings into images that are both intimate and enduring.

I am a published, award-winning photographer operating a portrait studio in the beautiful Hudson Valley, located in between Westchester and the Catskill Mountains, along the shores of the scenic Hudson River. I have been inside the White House, photographed presidential candidates, celebrity rock bands and the dentist down the street. I have photographed more than 700 weddings in my career.
