Anne Elliot + Matt
A Southern Black-Tie Celebration at Duck Woods Country Club | Elegant Golf Course Wedding
Outer Banks Wedding Photographer for Classic, Refined Celebrations
Anne Elliot and Matt’s wedding at Duck Woods Country Club was the very definition of timeless Southern elegance — a black-tie affair infused with family, tradition, and impeccable design.
Set on one of the most beautiful golf courses on the Outer Banks, their wedding day unfolded beneath clear blue skies on a warm summer afternoon. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that this celebration had been thoughtfully curated with love, legacy, and style at its heart.
Anne Elliot wore an elegant gown paired with a cathedral-length veil, and Matt looked classic and polished in a tailored black tuxedo. As a couple, they radiated effortless sophistication — truly one of the most striking pairs I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.
The ceremony was surrounded by sweeping greens, and later, we captured golden hour portraits across the course — glowing sunset photos that highlighted not only the couple’s connection but also the warm beauty of the landscape. The light was soft, golden, and southern in every sense of the word.
With a huge wedding party, the day was full of energy and celebration — yet it always returned to intentional moments shared with loved ones.
Inside the ballroom at Duck Woods Country Club, guests were welcomed into a space that exuded warmth and elevated design. The tables were set with scalloped plates and custom scalloped napkins, each monogrammed with the couple’s initials — a subtle yet stunning nod to personalization.
Candles with glass chimneys flickered softly among arrangements of white tulips and dainty blue florals, creating an atmosphere that felt both refined and inviting. Every detail was designed with intention — from the soft textures to the floral palette that mirrored the season.
As an Outer Banks wedding photographer who specializes in documenting formal, East Coast weddings, I’m always drawn to events where tradition and beauty intertwine. Anne Elliot and Matt’s celebration was more than just a wedding — it was a heartfelt gathering of family, legacy, and enduring love.
If you’re planning a classic black-tie wedding in the South and value thoughtful design, timeless photography, and meaningful celebration, I’d be honored to be part of your day.
