Reviews of The Oberports

Easily the BEST decision we made for our wedding

tl;dr we're obsessed with the Oberports and want them to photograph every event ever from now on!

My wife and I had two priorities in looking for photographers: we wanted pictures that felt like us, capturing all the color and energy of our wedding, and we wanted photographers that would fit in seamlessly with our people and be easy and fun to spend the day with. The Oberports were truly perfect. Emily and Bobby are absolute artists -- throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day, we loved watching them play off each other, looking for new angles and effects and taking inspiration from our environment. Their love for what they do and their genuine interest in the couples they work with is so evident in every picture they take.

On our wedding day, Emily and Bobby were absolute lifesavers. They had generously helped us to create our wedding day timeline and on the day, they kept us totally on track. We were able to enjoy ourselves and experience the wedding we'd planned while still having plenty of time for portraits, and they captured so many magical candid moments. They made us and all of our guests feel relaxed and comfortable, and they brought professionalism and a sense of humor in equal measure. They're also just super cool people; we never wanted them to leave!

Our full photo gallery is absolutely f**king breathtaking. We literally get complements on our photographers more than on the wedding itself (and we wouldn't have it any other way)! They captured our energy and the energy of our guests so thoroughly; every picture feels alive and full of joy and motion. I don't know how they do what they do but they are the absolute best and we truly can not imagine our wedding without them. 10000/10 recommend.

Best Experience with the Oberports!

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!

Could not have asked for a better photography team!

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
