Oak City Photography - Raleigh, North Carolina

Brooke Ward

From the planning process to the wedding day, working with Liz was a breeze! She knew exactly how to execute our vision and we could not be happier with how the pictures turned out! As you might assume, gathering a large group of people either pre or post ceremony for a photoshoot can be a bit like herding cats; Liz was able to keep everyone focused and having fun at the same time! Besides Liz’s natural talent as a photographer, her personality is what makes her stand out from other photographers out there. She will keep you wanting to take photos, even for people like me and my husband who are typically photo averse!

Our favorite moment that Liz captured was our “first look” photos; they were absolutely incredible and truly speak to her ability to show a range of emotions in a matter of seconds. We feel that every special moment of our wedding day was documented to the fullest. Do not look any further if you are looking for someone that can capture your true love on your wedding day and have fun while doing it!

Liz is such a great photographer to work with! I recommended her for my client's 20th anniversary vow renewal with a 1920s theme, and she did an incredible job! The couple weren't used to being photographed but she put them at ease, and she captured some truly beautiful and creative shots along with documenting the day. We were so happy to work with her!

Liz and her team were amazing! 10/10 would hire again! She really captured every intimate detail of our special day! She and her team were professional, punctual, and friendly! They were able to expertly wrangle the families and the bridal party to get some great posed pictures. They even did a little dancing themselves! What I love the most is that they took great shots of all our guests which turned out to be great little souvenirs for our thank you cards.

Our wedding photos are everything we wanted and more!

My husband and I just finished looking through our gallery for the first time, and I cannot begin to count the times we exclaimed, “oh, wow!” “That’s amazing!” “How did they get that?” Over and over again.

We chose Oak City Photography because we could tell from their galleries that Liz and Kim really try to capture the couple’s aesthetic, rather than just using generic poses. We also loved how they seemed to excel at candid photos of guests. The results did not disappoint - these are photos that I cannot wait to purchase, send to friends, print, and frame. They got every photo we asked for and so many more that I didn’t think to request that I’m so glad to have.

In addition to deliver a stellar final product, Liz and Kim are absolutely lovely people. They were such fun to have around as we got ready and during the reception. Furthermore, Kim went above and beyond to climb up on a ladder during the reception to get the entire group photo we requested.

10/10 would recommend reaching out to Liz and Kim for wedding services. It was worth absolutely penny, because the moments they captured are priceless.

Liz was exactly what we were hoping for when we set out to find a wedding photographer. Having no experience in the area, we told her the things that we expected -- "getting ready" photographs, staged couple and family photos, and candid photos of the event itself -- and she created and executed on a photography plan that absolutely delivered on those requests with a smile and a great attitude. In fact, we all appreciated her work so much that my sister-in-law is hiring her for her own ceremony! I can't recommend Liz and Oak City Photography enough.

If you are thinking of hiring Liz to be your photographer, DO. IT. Please. She captured my wedding perfectly and was amazing to work with. Every compliment from my wedding included a reference to the amazing photographers! We all had a blast together and I am so happy with how the photos are turning out. I give Liz 1000/10!

Liz and Oak City Photography gave us more than perfect wedding party photos. They gave us flexibility and support every step of the way through this crazy journey.

*Amazing photos*
The bride doesn’t like photos of herself. She says she always looks oddly posed or has a weird smile. Every time she works with a professional photographer, she hopes _this_ time she’ll like how she looks.

For the first time, she loved how she looks. Liz worked with us to understand our personalities and helped all of us pose in a way that felt natural. The bride literally squealed with happiness as she looked at the photos. As the bride’s older sister, I cannot express how happy that makes me.

*Flexibility and support*
We initially booked Oak City Photography to take photos of the wedding in Raleigh, however COVID-19 changed our plans and forced a small, family-only ceremony in another state.

When COVID-19 had calmed down and we felt safe to take pictures again, there were significant logistics to work out. The bride and groom lived two states away, part of the wedding party lived four states away, and the members of the wedding party who stilled lived in NC were moving soon. Additionally, most of the wedding party was still in school or worked full-time jobs.

Liz worked with us to arrange a date that met our hectic scheduling needs and was flexible when last-minute family emergencies forced changes.

TL;DR Our family will use Oak City Photography for any future photography needs in North Carolina.
