Weddings
Let’s party!
After endless months of dreaming, it’s honestly kinda rude how fast a wedding day melts away when you’re actually experiencing it firsthand. We joke that it feels like there’s a blip in the space-time continuum on wedding days: once you’ve got those fancy clothes on, the rest of the day becomes a blur of belly laughs, bear hugs, and booty pops.
When you spend this much time planning and anticipating a day that moves at lightning speed, the best gift you can give yourself is the one of remembering.
After all, when’s the next time all your favorite people will be in the same room again?
What makes us different?
The Photos
BOLD & COLORFUL
Weddings are happy and we think happy photos should be colorful
The look of our photos is inspired by Emily’s background shooting slide film. Lots of editing trends have come and gone since we started 16 years ago, but vibrant colorful photos are timeless. Plus, why would you spend time agonizing over your wedding color palette only to hire a photographer who mutes them in the editing process?
Real moments as art
We love experimenting with different ways of telling a story visually
Our approach is intentional and curious; we’re constantly considering the light, the backgrounds, and the angles. It’s not enough for us to simply capture moments, we want to capture them thoughtfully. Our greatest hope is that you’ll continue to find new things to love every time you page through your wedding album years later.

WE UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT
Your photos should revolve around your day (not the other way around)
There’s no question that portraits are an important part of wedding photos, but it shouldn’t feel like your whole day is a photoshoot. The real heart of your wedding occurs when you’re surrounded by the people who are celebrating you. We won’t pressure you to spend time taking photos you don’t want to take, and all our guidance will be tailored to what matters most to you.
THE MOST EXPERIENCED & THE MOST CHILL
We’ve photographed a LOT of weddings. Like – a LOT, a lot.
This ain’t our first rodeo! Since 2009, we’ve documented over 500 weddings all over the US and beyond. All of this experience means that weddings don’t stress us out. Navigating sensitive family dynamics isn’t challenging for us. When we’re your wedding photographers, you get the peace of mind that we know what we’re doing and we’ve got your back.
The Experience
“Bobby & Emily aren’t just photographers, they end up being confidants and general badass, take-control kinda folks. They will make sure your grandparents are minimally inconvenienced for family photos and somehow are direct but also very sweet while doing so. The Oberports are the real deal!”
-Julie & Emery, Washington DC
“The Oberports are personable, flexible, responsive, and most importantly: a lot of fun to have around. They never pressured us to take shots we didn’t want and found ways to work in challenging situations.”
– Teanna & Jack, Italy
“The Oberports are amazing communicators, professional, kind, talented, caring, funny and so much FUN! They made the entire day such a breeze and the whole process was so easy and light. They make sure you can enjoy your day while still getting high quality, amazing photos that last a lifetime.”
– Jessi & Eric, Columbus OH
