The Oberports

We recently worked with the Oberports for both our engagement and wedding photos. We could not be more ecstatic with the results! Their work is flawless. We continue to get comments about how good the photos are, and they definitely captured the energy, spirit and heart of both our engagement and our wedding. They are also super easy to work with. They have a knack for being there for all of the great opportunity shots – including when our daughter took it upon herself to grab the mic from the DJ and bust out a karaoke song on our big day. Their images of this and countless other moments are priceless, and we are so thankful that we have them. - Ryan and Mary Poquette

Emily and Bobby are the BEST! In short, they are professional, communicative, beautiful artists, and so, so helpful. We moved to WV last summer, and our original wedding plans were postponed. We still wanted to get married in a mini-ceremony. Once I saw their photos at Dolly Sods, I knew it (the location and them as photographers) was exactly what we wanted. They helped immensely with their elopement guides online, and the entire wedding day went extremely smoothly. We printed so many of the photos (and probably could have printed more! So amazing!) They will be photographing our newborn in a couple short weeks. So excited for the photos!

Choose this couple! They are true artists and they know how to produce beautiful images for your big day. They have the experience to know what looks good and what doesn't. Because they are a team, you get unique angles of every moment during the ceremony and reception. Super cool couple. Book them.

If you have the option, book The Oberports. This was the easiest and best decision we made while planning our wedding. They were extremely easy and wonderful to work with even during the ever-changing circumstances of 2020. We were greatly appreciative of their patience as we were deciding what to do since our original wedding plan was no longer an option.
The photographs are phenomenal, and the way they capture moments as they happen naturally is truly beautiful. They took our engagement photos earlier in the summer and those, too, are amazing. BONUS: they can also capture really fun photos of your three/four-legged family members! I am so grateful we will be able to look back on these pictures for years to come and be reminded of this special time in our lives. If you are looking for a team to photograph your life’s big moments, you cannot go wrong with The Oberports.

I don’t exactly know where to start, from beginning to end-Emily & Bobby have been phenomenal.

Their kind & easy going approach, made all of the photos on our wedding day way less stressful than I expected. They preserved our wedding day, in beautiful shots. They made me laugh when I felt like crying & they knew our venue like the back of their hand & worked in areas with the best light. They worked around an emotional & somewhat exhausted bride easily. They weren’t invasive but even from the previews, got shots we didn’t even expect to have. They also are the champs of group photos.

I can’t begin to express how thankful my husband and I are for these two. We got married right before the outbreak, and if there is anything I can say for anyone whose considering booking for your upcoming wedding or having to reschedule: they’re worth every penny.

The Oberports are amazing! They have so much talent and experience and know how to capture the perfect moments from a wedding. They were fun and easy to work with and kept us all on schedule for the day. I was blown away looking at the pictures and how amazing they all are! They captured moments and things I didn't even know were happening and I was so glad to be able to look back on the day and feel like I was reliving it all over again :)

So very happy that we went with the Oberports! I used to be a photographer and have a good eye for detail and an understanding of quality imagery, which made finding a wedding photographer I’d really be happy with a little more of a challenge. Emily and Bobby fit the bill. Aside from talented and creative, they are personable, patient, thorough, and focused on what’s best for you on your day. The images they produced for us were just beyond what we even expected. They captured not only the moments of the day, but the meaningfulness and emotions behind it. That takes talent! They’re the best of the best and make the experience wonderful. And we’re forever grateful!

If you're on the fence about hiring The Oberports for any reason, don't be and just hire them already!! They were so great and easy to work with! They truly went above and beyond, from the materials they send out that help with planning and managing time during the wedding, to actually scouting out our ceremony site in a state forest to make sure we choose the best site possible! Not only were they beyond helpful and professional, they are also very easy to be around. Every single person at the wedding had nothing but positive things to say about them.

All of the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Every time we look through them, we end up tearing up. One of my favorite things about the photos The Oberport's take is that they really do focus on the people, which was so important to us. We had a small wedding with family and friends from all across the country, and it has been so special to us to have those photos of all of the people we love at our wedding. We will truly cherish these photos forever!!

It's hard to put into words how pleased, happy, elated, etc we are with The Oberports. They are so talented, they are so professional. They kept us at ease when it looked like dark clouds were rolling in during our outdoor pictures. They made us feel comfortable during those seemingly silly shots (narrator: they weren't silly shots) where our faces were smooshed together for minutes on end. Throughout the day they were always around capturing fantastic candid shots but you could hardly tell. They were never intrusive. It was just magic. And just another note - they had recently been in a scary car accident aaand we were close to the last in their long string of fall wedding weekends, but you would never have been able to tell that with their attentiveness to us and our day.

And did we mention their pictures are stunning?

The Oberports are the best of the best! I cannot even begin to describe what a phenomenal job Emily and Bobby did on our wedding day.

Hiring Emily and Bobby was the BEST DECISION we made when planning our wedding. When you hire The Oberports, you invest in your future. Because they capture genuine moments, you receive not only brilliant pictures, but wonderful memories. It has been almost a year since our wedding, and I am STILL finding new favorite pictures from our big day. When I look at the pictures, I have no problem remembering how I felt at that very moment.

Emily and Bobby are extremely talented and professional. They always made sure we knew what to expect during all the stages of planning and during our wedding. I wish we would have had that same level of communication with some of our other vendors! We felt incredibly comfortable with them throughout the entire day. It felt like we were hanging out with old friends and it just felt natural.

The Oberports are so incredibly kind. When we were on our minimoon, I began thinking about the whirlwind of our wedding day. After a conversation with a family member, I became worried that I did not get a picture with just my Mom. I could not think of a time when it was just the two of us. I began to panic and quickly became inconsolable. My husband emailed them to see if they could remember whether there was a picture of just my mom and I. Within minutes, they sent a reply with screenshots of multiple pictures to assure me that they did get them! They remembered how important family pictures were to us and made sure that it happened. I am forever grateful for that.

I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate these two! Trust me that hiring them is the best move you could make!

Where do I even begin with these two?? I was one crazy elopement bride with requests and they NEVER hesitated to answer my many questions. Both Emily and Bobby were the warmest and most comforting photographers. I’m not a shy person but when a camera is around I tend to shy away. These two made my now husband and myself feel the most comfortable. They made our wedding day, a day we will never ever forget! We still have only seen a few teasers of what they captured but were in love at first site! I would recommend these two to absolutely anyone! I hope one day we can use them in the future!

Where to begin with reviewing these 2 talented individuals? 5 stars doesn't truly seem to be enough! I had a very specific idea in my head what I invisioned for my wedding photos! Emily and Bobby listened to my desires and produced everything beyond my wildest dreams! They captured every emotion that I felt that day and some I didn't even realize I was having! I cherish every single moment I spent with them and what they captured for me to cherish forever! My vision was very dark. My colors were black and gold. I envisioned my wedding being as dark as a candle lit castle! The images they captured were spot on. So very romantic and dreamy! Emily and Bobby's attention to detail and capturing a feeling or a look is unbelievable! With over 700 photos to choose from there isn't a single "bad" shot! How do I choose what to have printed out and not have 700 photos all over my house! I can not wait to work with them again and see the beauty they are able to capture! The beauty I didn't even know existed before I saw their work!

The Oberports are the best! After looking for years at their pictures in the WV Weddings magazine, I knew I loved their style and how each couples' pictures were unique. They were quick to respond to our many emails and questions. We changed our wedding plan from a large traditional wedding to something very small- they were super easy going with the change and gave us suggestions for picture opportunities in our new location. They are laid back and calming when things don't go totally right on the big day, but also professional and are able to keep things like family photos moving along. They captured so many amazing moments and family/friends are in awe when they see our photos, often telling me "I now see why you wanted the Oberports." Our wedding pictures are something I want to display because they are not your typical posed portraits.

It rained intermittently on our wedding day, so we weren't able to take pictures with our dogs. The Oberports knew this was something that was important to us and emailed several weeks after our wedding arranging to take pictures with our dogs. This meant so much to us! They truly go above and beyond to make sure your experience is positive. I recommend the Oberports to everyone- you will not be disappointed!

Let's see, where do I begin in explaining how wonderful and talented The Oberports are? Our families love affair with The Oberports started back in 2012 when Emily and Bobby documented both of my sisters weddings. From my sisters engagement shoots and wedding days, to numerous family photo sessions, they've become the official Liberatore family photographers. So when I got engaged I called them within days to reserve our dates. They were the only option for our wedding. Emily and Bobby met us in Annapolis for our engagement photos and then back to North Beach, Maryland for our wedding a couple weeks ago. They also introduced me to David with Studio213Films who we booked as our videographer. They are responsive, easy going, detail oriented and capture the most amazing moments. They are talented photographers and but also really cool people so it is fun spending time with them. Which is important since you'll spend so much time together. They also have a sense of calm to them which helps you relax in front of the camera. I would forget they are there at times. In the most artistic and beautiful way, they capture your story and special moments. I really can't recommend them enough. They are an amazing team and you won't be disappointed in booking them for your wedding!

Emily & Bobby are truly the best in the business! We knew from day 1 of our engagement we wanted to book them . Their work speaks for itself, and they have such an eye for capturing the littlest moments that my husband and I will be so happy too look back on. Professional and responsive to any questions and concerns we had throughout our wedding planning. They send a sneak-peek post occasion as a teaser and believe me it will make you and your family cry like babies. If you want badass engagement photos-they are it, if you want the most beautiful, creative wedding photos that you will be proud to have up in your home and on your coffee table in your wedding album- THEY ARE IT! Book them NOW! You will have the best photographers for the most important day of your life!
