Pullen Photo

We lean into imperfection—wind-tangled hair, unguarded laughter, the moments that unfold naturally.

Our approach blends authentic photojournalism with thoughtfully composed portraiture - artful without being forced, bold without losing the beauty of the moment.

The Early years

Our photography journey began with surf and documentary work—guided by a love of natural landscapes and powerful moments. Our style was shaped by curiosity, storytelling, and a deep respect for authenticity.

as our family grew

So did our perspective. We wanted a life where work and family existed together—where creativity supported the way we lived, not the other way around.

With over twenty years of experience, we photograph weddings and families on the Outer Banks with the same documentary heart we began with—creating images rooted in presence, feeling, and lasting meaning.

THE SHIFT

Today

When a friend suggested we photograph weddings and families, we said yes—with one condition: we would do it our way. Unscripted. Bold. Experience-first.
