I can't recommend Oak and Ivory Photography enough! Liana and her husband Chevy made our engagement session and wedding unforgettable. Liana's talent shines through in her work, and she delivers beautifully edited photos quickly. What impressed me most was her natural editing style—no heavy filters, just authentic colors.

From the moment we started working with her, she made the experience fun and relaxed. She even sent us sneak peeks of our photos on the same day, which is unheard of for most photographers! Liana's kindness and personable nature made us feel at ease, even during those awkward posing moments. Her guidance in positioning and capturing our special moments was exceptional.

Overall, Oak and Ivory Photography is a standout choice. Liana and Chevy are not just skilled photographers but also wonderful people to work with. I would give them an 11/10 if I could!

An unforgettable experience..

Out of all wedding vendors, your photography company is hands down the most important. These will be the pictures you’ll look back at for the rest of your life! Liana and Chevy with oak and ivory photography are the kind of people you want with you on your wedding day! From the stunning editing style, the amazing communication they have with you during the entire process and the efficiency they offer I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want them as your photographer!

Day of can be stressful, chaotic, and overwhelming but I knew I was in good hands with them! They ensured we stayed on time and still got every image we wanted! Me and my husband were SO happy with our sneak peak and we absolutely cannot wait to see the rest. I would give them their flowers over and over again if I could!!

The best experience...

We had an amazing experience working with Liana and her team at Oak and Ivory Photography. From our engagement photos through our wedding day, she was incredibly organized, intentional, and efficient every step of the way. She made the entire photography process feel effortless and stress-free by clearly communicating poses, ideas, and her vision throughout the day.

Their attention to detail in capturing so many meaningful milestone moments was truly special, and it shines through in every photo. The quality of their work is absolutely stunning. Liana and her team perfectly captured candid moments while also expertly organizing our entire wedding party for group photos with ease.

Liana is incredibly talented, professional, and such a joy to work with. We cannot recommend Oak and Ivory Photography enough!

So beautiful...

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Liana and Chevy at Oak + Ivory Photography for our October 2025 wedding! Our package included all-day coverage and two photographers. Having two shooters was so helpful in being able to divide and conquer during the day to keep the timeline on pace. For example, Chevy was able to photograph the groom suite prep and Liana was able to capture all the goings-on in the bridal suite and glam/prep. It also enabled us to have some cool shots we wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise. They were both such fun, welcoming, and supportive people to work with and put us all at ease. We had so many guests say such kind, positive things about them and how fun they were! Liana was so professional, well-organized, and came prepared with a wealth of knowledge and ideas. They were both very self-managed and came ready to jump right in. We especially found her ideas and expertise helpful when planning our timeline for the day. They were hands-on the whole day and very attentive to our needs and ideas. It was nice to have someone so kind and genuine help guide us through such a big day. Their care and attention helped the whole day go off without a hitch and keep everything stress-free!  We were so impressed by the artistry evident throughout our gallery, and our photos were STUNNING. We are so in love with our engagement photos as well as our entire wedding day gallery, which were of the highest quality and really captured the day perfectly!

Liana & Chevy were such a great addition to our vendor team the day of the wedding. 1000/10 would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer for any event!

A dynamic duo...
