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!

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. -

Rachel Sent on 02/09/2021Amazing. 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!!! -

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. -

Sofia Sent on 01/04/2020Very 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! -

Kelli Sent on 01/25/2019BEST 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! -

Danika Sent on 03/04/2018Planning a wedding in Raleigh while living in Houston is NOT an easy task but once we landed on Liz’s website our journey instantly became smooth sailing. She worked so closely with us, answering countless questions and making herself completely available to our every need.
She was so attentive and responsive via email and/or phone call. She even took a call one afternoon while she cooking to prepare for a party she was hosting. I had to tell her she could call me back when she wasn’t busy…LOL!
We didn’t get a chance to meet Liz, face to face, until the day of the wedding. At our first encounter, she instantly put us at ease because we could tell right away she didn’t need any guidance. Everyone standing there knew we were in great hands. She thought of EVERYTHING and her demeanor lets you know right away she has it all under control.
And then it was go-time. The lights came on and she did not disappoint. She was absolutely amazing!!! I don’t even recall seeing her during the ceremony but, based on the current set of teaser photos we have, we know she was working overtime. She’s just so good that she can blend and be of no distraction.
And as soon as we wrapped up the ceremony, there she was, getting everyone in order for a big group photo. She even arrived 30 minutes earlier than we initially requested and stayed for the entire ceremony…all on a last minute, game time decision.
There couldn't be a photographer out there more accommodating than Liz. If you have any upcoming photography needs then you don't need to look any further. Thank you so much for all you did. You and your craft received so many compliments from our wedding guests and I wanted to pass the kind words along. It was such a pleasure working with you!!! Many thanks for helping make our wedding day so special. -

User2556113 Sent on 03/18/2016Liz worked so well with our crazy pup for our mini session! Her patience and professionalism were top notch. We loved our pictures, but the greatest part was we had so many compliments on them from our friends and family. We would highly recommend Oak City Photography to everyone! -

Emily Sent on 04/04/2016Liz was amazing to work with! She made us very comfortable and captured our wedding weekend spectacularly. She was the perfect mix of grabbing the pictures you want and not knowing she's even there. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day. We will definitely be working with her again in the future! -
