Mary Basnight Photography

I have been photographing weddings for 20+ years. My experience ranges from a wedding with 700 guests to an elopement. I asked the burning question, "What do you want to be doing in your career that will blend well in your daily life?" The answer? I started looking and seeing the Outer Banks from a new perspective. I now shoot in locations surrounded my mother nature. I currently help clients define what an Outer Banks experience means to them and then we plan their session accordingly. Elopements + micro weddings, couple's sessions and small business branding are the three areas I offer services.

I like to learn what it is that makes them love the Outer Banks. Together we plan their session in a location or way that gives them meaning. When they look back over their images, they will be able to connect their experience with their love of the Outer Banks. For me, the photography coverage needs to have a purpose, a story to tell I guess you could say. I love this because it makes every session unique, different and fun.
