Award winning photographer Al Patterson, has been taking photographs for over 30 years. His love of the art led him to teach photography classes at local community colleges and camera clubs. He has spent the past 10 years capturing the breathtaking scenery of the South Brunswick Islands, NC - a passion which settled him in Ash, just 15 minutes west of the beaches. Al's ability to work in multiple forms of photography is unique.

Al and his wife Sue create beautiful family and children's portraits on our scenic beaches and were the most popular photographers of family beach portraits last year. Building on the family and children line, they have opened a studio to capture children and infant's personalities in creative scenes.

The studio is located on the southern coast of NC, near Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle, in Brunswick County and conveniently located between Wilmington, NC and North Myrtle Beach.

Al's work has been seen on the cover of the South Brunswick Islands Chamber of Commerce brochure, the "Visitor Guide" of the Brunswick County phone directory, and in many other brochures and billboards in the area. He also accepts out-of-state commissions. Aerials are Al's commercial specialty.
