Based on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Julie Dreelin's career seems to be moving at the speed of light. After winning the Cover of Outer Banks Wedding Guide Magazine 2008 and published featured weddings or articles in years past in the Bride's Book 2007, Carolina Bride 2008 and Outer Banks Bride 2007 she has had some momentum. Her yearly requests for portrait sessions and weddings have continued to grow with her popularity.
When Julie first started working at weddings in 2000, we were treated to what passes for a controversy in contemporary photography. A woman with a background of artistic, journalistic videography refocuses her studio exhibits to a multimedia presentation. Julie says, "Since the photography industry has moved to digital, I have found myself at the forefront of the game. With the knowledge and experience of a Business Degree in Arts and Science, television and a hundred wedding documentaries behind me, right away I found myself teaching film photographers how to use digital from scratch. I taught them how to integrate their photographs to video and how to use digital media and software. My knowledge base of shooting and editing techniques grew tremendously through the process." A once dueling rivalry, photography and videography were combined into one.
The final photographs became recognizable as the Beach Productions style, every image is like nothing you've ever seen before. Julie's style is beautiful and original, familiar and moving, they certainly encapsulate people to think and and moreover, share a simple personal experience with the viewer.
Julie travels yearly to a different foreign country for two months to develop her skills through seminars and experience ending in a yearly photography exhibit at the Beach Productions studios.
