The best photography team for any wedding!

Alexa and Wes are an absolute dream team. We had them shoot our wedding, as well as our engagement session about a year prior, and we wouldn’t trade a second of any of it. Not only are Alexa’s skills top-notch at shooting and editing, but the two of them together are organized, welcoming, and just adorable. They made both of us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which normally would make us feel pretty awkward. The way they both work makes you feel special, natural, and causes you to have a ton of fun. Plus, her turnaround time with our “sneak peek” each time was incredibly fast. She knows how to give you a taste, but hold some of the goodies until the final reveal. I’d hire them again any chance we get. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Stunning Photos, Dream Vendor

We are so grateful to have found wedding photographers like Alexa and Wes – organized, professional, relaxed and fun to work with, and absolutely some of the most talented people we have ever met. We planned our wedding entirely remotely as we live in another state, but never once felt unprepared when working with Alexa. From our first consultation to the wedding day, she listened to what we wanted and made sure it happened. My husband and I got married in an outdoor ceremony in October and wanted those crisp Pennsylvania autumn days we grew up loving to translate to our photos, and after running around in a field behind our venue at golden hour, they definitely did! My husband and I, and all of our guests, are completely obsessed with the incredible photos that Alexa and Wes captured of our wedding day and will cherish them forever.

#1 Vendor on Our Team

We used both Alexa and Wes for our big day and it’s one of the best decisions we ever made! They fall as one of our number one vendors we worked with from beginning to end. The way they captured our big day was magical! They made you feel so special from the moment we had our first meeting to our big day, which is something to value in photographer/videographer, and the turnaround time was so quick. If you’re questioning on whether or not to do the videography, DO IT! The way Wes and Alexa work together truly adds to the experience. Our final product will be shared with loved ones for many more years to come!

I can't recommend Alexa and Wes enough. Talented doesn't even begin to describe their work. Alexa's eye for unique, stunning, and candid moments is beyond compare. We are so thrilled with our photos and have had endless complements on her work. Do yourself a favor and book this husband and wife duo for your wedding. We couldn't be happier we did.

Wes and Alexa did the video for our wedding and we couldn't be more pleased! They were kind, professional, and courteous and were even willing to spend time outside in February in Pittsburgh in a snow storm to get the shots! During wedding planning, my husband (then fiancé) originally wasn't sure he wanted a videographer, but after seeing the highlight film Alexa and Wes put together for us he told me that booking them was one of the best choices we made! Also, a few days after the wedding, they sent my parents a thank you email for throwing such a fun party. Such a classy move! If I did it all over again, I'd still pick Alexa and Wes!

My husband and I had a whirlwind 2017. We planned our wedding in 7 months, and one of the first vendors we booked was Oakwood Photo + Video. Immediately when we met Alexa and Wes via FaceTime, we could tell they were professional and extremely friendly and accommodating. Their pre-tools for our wedding day were informative and stellar, including a questionnaire that pinpointed what we would and would not to be shot. During our wedding day, Alexa and Wes blended right in with our guests. They were more than patient with our generous family portrait shots which included family members from all over the country. They located the most beautiful spot in the nearby woods where the sunlight was setting through the trees perfectly to shoot our couple photos. When we received our photography and video after our waiting time, so many happy tears were shed along with the same comment repeatedly about how Oakwood 'captured the day perfectly'. My husband and I could not agree more.
As a perfectionist that's gone through the process, I cannot stress how much of a payoff a couple receives by having the most beautiful wedding video and photos to hold onto forever. A wedding day goes so fast; So many aspects and things get lost in the shuffle, and it's guaranteed you won't see everything you planned. With Oakwood, I feel confident in telling potential clients that you will see what you missed, what you already knew was there, and so much more. <3

Alexa with Oakwood Photography was excellent. She was super professional, on time, paid attention to details, and really took the time to take photos of everyone and everything. Her pricing is very reasonable and her photos are amazing. There is something so magical about her photos. She was able to capture moments I will cherish forever thanks to her photographs. Alexa and her photos far exceeded my expectations. You will love all the little details Alexa provides. I will be booking her again for family photographs. To sum it up.....EXCELLENT! :)

After talking and meeting with several photographers, my husband and I hired Alexa of Oakwood Photography to photograph our wedding last year. One of the many reasons we were drawn to her photography was because each photo in her portfolio possessed a soft, unposed, natural beauty which seemed perfect for our simple and rustic wedding. Our wedding was one of the very first she photographed, but you would never know that by looking at the finished photos. Using her natural talent and creativity, Alexa managed to create photographs that captured the emotion of each moment telling the story of the greatest day of our lives better than words ever could.

In addition to being incredibly talented with a camera, Alexa also possess a wonderful personality. Whether it was answering a bunch of questions or waiting as we tried to organize the little ones of our wedding party, she remained calm, patient and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, creative and professional photographer!
