Editorial wedding photographers On the outer banks of North Carolina

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 ​editorial photojournalism with intentional portraiture. ​She is a perfectionist, loves an intimate golden hour, ​and has an incredible attention to detail. With a film inspired approach, the gallery 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 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.

As the full-time second photographer, Madeline is ​ the personal stylist for our grooms. Her passion for ​men’s fashion is a key asset in helping guide ​gentlemen through our editorial photography ​experience. She specializes in finding the details ​throughout your wedding day and her keen ​knowledge of well tailored groom is the backbone of ​her wedding day workflow.
