Some proposals are easy - one great location, one nervous guy, one surprised girl, and one big diamond.

And some proposals are more involved than invading a small country. This one involved two boats, a sandbar, six friends, some crazy coordination, a 45-minute window between rain showers, and a whole lot of hoping everything went according to plan. 😂

And it was picture perfect when Zeb got down on one knee on the sandbar in Hoop Pole Creek and asked Gracyn to marry him 💍

And it worked like a finely tuned covert operation that would have impressed a Seal team.

A pretty epic way to say yes. 🤍

Just a little sneak peek from Friday on Bogue Sound. Congratulations, Zeb & Gracyn! More soon.

Simple and splendid 🤍

Taylor & Zach’s June wedding was one of those days that didn’t need to be complicated to be beautiful. Just the two of them, a gorgeous waterfront setting, a beautiful June evening, and a whole lot of happiness.

Quiet moments together overlooking the marsh…loud moments together dancing under the lights…and family and friends everything celebrating two of their favorite people on the planet.

Congratulations, Taylor & Zach. So happy we were able to capture your most special day in photographs that will last a lifetime. 🤍

There’s something extra sweet about a family with three little ones all under 5 🩷💙

Such a fun time with the Sorrell family during their July beach session. These kiddos kept us on our toes, but that’s exactly what makes family sessions like this so much fun. A little running, a little exploring, lots of smiles, and plenty of those in-between moments that you can’t really plan for.

So thankful I got to spend an evening with this sweet family on the Crystal Coast! 🌊☀️

The Berry family showed up ready for a lazy, sunny day at the beach - and the Crystal Coast decided adventure was more in order! 😅 Rain was just over the sound headed our way, the wind was crazy strong, and the waves were doing their very best to steal the show…but this crew? They just laughed and played and had an absolute blast!

And honestly, those are some of my favorite sessions - the ones that aren’t perfectly calm or predictable, but are full of sand and water and mess and fun…and memories your family will actually remember making. 🌊🩵

Berry family, you guys were SO much fun. Thank you for trusting Beaufort Photography Co. to capture this crazy, beautiful beach day!

Having done this for a long time, I can tell in the first three minutes whether a family session is going to have all of the elements that make for a fantastic session…with the Stoffel family I could tell in one minute ❤️

What a wonderful time on the Crystal Coast - big smiles, a perfect beach evening, a little chaos, and one very happy dog who clearly understood the assignment. 😂🐾

No one was worried about looking perfect. Everyone was just having fun together. And honestly, those are the photographs I love most.

A gorgeous sunset, warm sand, the ocean in the background, and a family making memories together on the Crystal Coast. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Thank you, Stoffel family, for such a fun evening! I hope you love these as much as I do. ❤️

💍 She said yes... and then they ran straight into the ocean. 🌊

Alex surprised Raven with a proposal, and we got to capture their engagement photos - barefoot in the surf, laughing until their faces hurt, and soaking up every second of their newly engaged chapter together.

These are the moments we live for at Beaufort Photography Co...memories that feel as good years from now as they do today.

Congratulations, Raven & Alex…so happy for you ❤️

The day after they said “I do,” they traded wedding plans for sandy toes, salty air, and the people who matter most.

The Graham family made the trip from Virginia to the Crystal Coast for a beach getaway that became something even sweeter - a celebration of a brand-new marriage wrapped inside a family vacation.

No timelines. No formalities. Just laughter carried by the ocean breeze, little footprints in the sand, and the kind of memories that feel bigger years later than they do in the moment.

These are the photos that will live on refrigerators, in hallway frames, and in stories told long after the sunscreen fades.

Some moments only happen once.

Hidden away in a charming little garden in Beaufort, Drew led Sarah into what she thought was an ordinary afternoon. And it became the beginning of their next chapter together.

Capturing proposals like this is one of my favorite parts of being a Crystal Coast photographer in northeastern NC.

There’s something special about documenting real moments in beautiful places, where every corner seems made for love stories.

Congratulations, Drew & Sarah! Thank you for letting Beaufort Photography Co. be part of your amazing day.

McKenzie thought they were just taking a walk along the Beaufort waterfront… and then Josh got down on one knee. 💍✨

The wind, the boats, the water, and one unforgettable “yes.” Moments like these are why we love documenting love stories along the Crystal Coast. Congratulations, Josh & McKenzie - your forever starts here. 🤍
