About Courtney

Lover of sunsets, boat days & Rolling Dunes

I’m Courtney — the photographer behind Courtney Hathaway Photography. Born and raised on Roanoke Island, I’m proud to call the Outer Banks of North Carolina home. Since 2006, I’ve been photographing weddings and portraits throughout the OBX and destination locations beyond, capturing heartfelt moments for couples and families who value connection, joy, and timeless imagery.

As a lifelong local, I have a deep love for this sweet sandbar and the laid-back beauty that makes it so special. From golden sunsets to salty breezes, I love sharing the best of the Outer Banks with my clients while creating photographs that feel natural, meaningful, and true to you.

Whether you’re planning a destination wedding on the Outer Banks or looking to document your family’s beach vacation with relaxed, sunset portraits, you’re in the right place. Take a look around, explore the menu above, and learn more about how we can tell your story.
