Beach Productions is a photography and videography company specializing in wedding and beach portraits - or as owner Julie Dreelin calls it, the “art of documentary portraiture.”
Julie says her friends know her as a “lover of life” and a nonconformist. A world traveler and mountain dweller, who left Colorado for the OBX after falling in love with a surfer, Julie shares the story of her road, her life and her dreams through photography.
Now as a “salty lady” of The Outer Banks, she “brings people and moments to life” with a photographic style that sometimes involves startling her subjects with a flash, then laughing and smiling “until their protests turn to giggles.”
As a photo and video journalist, Julie says her intent is to provide her clients with a “pictorial narrative” that captures the “spirit of the day,” which she does with a flair for finding interesting angles and candid shots. For weddings she likes to tell the story of your special day from beginning to end, starting at the bride’s home for the preparation shots and ending with the departure from the reception, adding a few moments alone with the bride and groom in between.
You can find pricing for Beach Productions’ Wedding and Portrait Packages online, and they’ll also be glad to provide quotes on custom assignments. The company can be reached by phone, email or online form.

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
When most Outer Banks visitors think of Nags Head, they imagine a classic beach town filled with warm sunny days, crashing ocean waves, and miles of beaches, shops, restaurants and all the attractions that inherently come standard with an entertaining and well-loved vacation town.
A truly unique retreat, this oceanfront home is full of color, charming wood finishes, and lush greenery. When you aren't down on the beach, check out the nearby Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Family Water Adventures, and a plethora of galleries, eateries, and parks. Back at your stay, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower before finding yourself lounging in the brilliantly bold living room adorned with soft seating and a large TV. Step out onto the private balcony when you want the ocean breeze to kiss your skin. In the adjacent well-equipped kitchen, cooking will come easy with the ocean views never having to leave your sight. When it's time to eat, dine together at the formal dining table or pack a picnic to go. Each of the bedrooms is retro, comfortable, and spacious. But when you aren't lounging here under the cool air of the central air-conditioning, spread out in the loft where an additional TV and sprawling sofa provide the perfect spot for movie nights. End your evenings with a walk down to the beach, where the air is breezy, the sound of the waves crashing is therapeutic, and the memories cultivated are lifelong.
