When you work with us, You Won’t Get:

Overly posed portraits and staged moments. If you want to spend your wedding day performing for the camera, we’re probably not the best fit

Inexperienced newbs. Wedding expenses add up quickly, but the peace of mind knowing your memories will be preserved by experts is priceless.

Drab, colorless images. If you want the lush greens and the blues to be sucked out of your photos, you’re in the wrong place.

But boy are you in luck if you’re looking for:

Colorful, magazine-worthy photos that tell the story of your day from the big sweeping moments to the small details, without desaturating your color palette

Seasoned pros comfortable navigating unpredictable weather, different lighting conditions, and sensitive family dynamics

Stellar customer experience ensures you’ll have our full focus since we’re a full-time dynamic duo determined to make your photo experience as smooth as butter.

“One million out of ten. Hire them. They could photograph you picking a wedgie and still make it the most beautiful picture of you ever taken.”

-Becca & Eric, Minneapolis MN

“the most professional & supportive wedding vendor you could imagine. The oberports were the best investment we made in our wedding. I was very uncomfortable in front of the camera & they immediately put me at ease.”

– Julia & Blake, Hico WV

“If you want the best, it’s simple: Hire the Oberports! I won’t say the same things as everyone else (it’s all true), but I will say that I learned from experience that you get what you pay for & the Oberports are worth it….. every penny & more.”

Everyone’s special milestones are worthy of joyful and creative photos. We feel strongly that discrimination has no place anywhere, and certainly not in the wedding industry. This is a supportive and welcoming space for all religions, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and body sizes.

They are simply fantastic: super professional, low key, fun, easy to work with. Most of the time I didn’t even realize they were there – which allowed us to really live the experience vs centering our moments behind the camera.

-Heather & Bryan, Washington DC

“They have an incredible gift. It’s like their lens knew us, despite meeting for the first time on the morning of the wedding. They captured so many gestures and faces and moments of our family that are so etched in my bones.”

-Kimberly & Justin, Pittsburgh PA

“They have remarkable work ethic and communication and work so well as a team – an inspiration for us yet-to-be and newly married couples.”

– Ashley & Drew, Paradise MT

“I don’t know how they do it, but they somehow perfectly capture the feeling of each moment. It has to be some sort of magic, because I feel like I’m in that moment again.”

– Jen & Ben, Ashland KY
