Whether you’re getting married in a stunning event home or tying the knot in a timeless Outer Banks resort or historical landmark, we photograph the most intimate moments alongside the outpouring of joy and laughter on your special day. And we’re always chasing the sunset to capture our couples in the effervescent glow of golden hour.

YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU HOLD DEAR FOR YEARS TO COME

We use golden light to create true to color photos with a timeless editorial quality. From stealing away a first look before exchanging vows to dining and dancing the night away—we’re honored to be documenting every part of your big day. We know choosing a wedding photographer is one of many big decisions you’re making when planning your dream beach wedding. At SDP we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our ability (and flexibility) to shoot stunning photos in the natural Outer Banks elements.

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.
