About

Oak City Photography is a duo wedding photography team that has been capturing weddings for 15 years. We specialize in making you feel like a friend while capturing your wedding with impeccable detail. Our style is natural with full colors, we know how to pose and also capture the most unique candid photos.

A wedding only happens once and the moments are so fleeting. Wedding photography helps us remember when our memory has faded. It captures the details that we often forget and tells our story without words. The women at Oak City Photography want to capture your story and present it with thoughtful, fun and breathtaking photography. We believe in a fair product and always produce high quality digital images for our clients. For every one of our sessions we provide our clients with a disk containing all of their images with print rights. We also provide a private, online gallery for easy viewing by friends and family.

You’ll receive 4 to 5 teaser photos the day after your wedding and the remainder within 8 weeks. All images are shot in RAW format and then edited to refine colors, contrast, sharpening and those pesky fly aways. Finally, all your finished images are loaded onto a private, password protected gallery for you to share with friends and family. From there you’ll be able to download your images and print them at your leisure or through the website, whichever you prefer.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!! Must Hire!

Liz and her team are absolutely fantastic! We are so happy with our entire experience! Liz is super cool! She will meet you somewhere neat to have a beer and discuss your ideas and desires for your big day! Liz and her team showed up early to the venue to scope the place out and find the best angles/ rooms/ lightings for pics. Great first look photos of my dad, my dress, my rings, everything. She was also very good at taking all the family photos early and upfront so they could enjoy the cocktail hour. Wrangling over 30 family members can be like herding cats but she managed it all professionally. Liz and her team even danced on the dance floor while taking our photos. What I also love is that Liz also took great photos of all our guests, which will make a great souvenir for our thank you cards. The pictures really captured the fun and heart that went into the day! 10/10 would hire again.

Priceless Memories

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.

Hire Them! You Need a Photographer That Can Capture Every Moment of Your Day to the Fullest!

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!

Perfect Photographers

Liz and Kim are absolutely amazing! They were flexible when we had to delay the big celebration due to COVID, and Liz even agreed to do an elopement shoot with us (oh, and she helped us find a spot to do the elopement!). On the wedding night, they were incredibly fun to be around and made our families and friends feel at ease in front of the camera. The elopement photos were beautiful, and I have no doubt our wedding celebration photos will be perfect.

Highly recommended

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for a 2020 wedding. Liz was kind, understanding, and empathetic through all of the date changes and plan changes. She was very easy to work with and get in touch with. Her photography style fit exactly what we were looking for.

Amazing. Perfect.

Liz did a fantastic job for my wedding. She literally risked her life for it! Pandemic weddings can't be easy, what with date changes, venue changes, fear of dying of a virus... Liz rolled with the punches, and turned an incredibly hectic day into the most beautiful experience. My husband isn't a fan of PDA or pictures, so I thought it was going to be a disaster; but when we got our pictures back, all I saw was joy. Thank for Liz for turning a stressful day into forever-beautiful memories!!!

Very grateful!

My husband and I received our photos and we cannot be more thrilled! We appreciate sincerely every step- the orignal meeting, the process to hire, and on wedding day, they were amazing! They even helped my husband with tying his tie! :) We had a very relaxed wedding day- nothing too fancy and with close family and friends and we loved how laid back they were. They made taking photos super easy. Having them as our photographers made our day much more special.

Liz and Kim: Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for such a great experience and we appreciate so much having you as our photographers. We highly recommend!

BEST Wedding Photographer in Raleigh!

Liz and her team were everything we could have wished for. We were anxious about hiring a vendor that we didn't have a personal relationship with but her responsiveness to our questions and overall kindness evelated the whole experience. Not only that, but the pictures turned out amazing and our whole family agrees. So happy we used her for our big day, 10/10 would recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
