OWNER + PHOTOGRAPHER, SARAH D’AMBRA KOPP
Sarah is a wedding photographer and world traveler raised on the Outer Banks of NC. She is not only happy to call it home, but also fortunate to incorporate the beautiful scenic beaches of the barrier islands into her photography.
Sarah’s style as a photographer is one that blends modern photojournalism with intentional portraiture. With candid and windswept moments, the finished product is one that exemplifies clean contrast, warm light, and grainy textures. These are the elements that create SDP’s editorial and timeless look.
PHOTOGRAPHER, MADELINE THOMPSON
Madeline is the part-time creative visionary that perfectly balances Sarah’s untamed artistry. As Sarah’s younger sister, Madeline was also raised on the Outer Banks and has been professionally shooting for over ten years.
She specializes in finding the details throughout your wedding day and her keen knowledge of traditional photography is the backbone of the SDP workflow that defines their unique style.
