About Akes Photography: Capturing Moments, Crafting Memories

It was my boyfriend and I's first time ever having professional pictures taken so we were extremely nervous and really felt out of our comfort zone! The picnic we walked up to when we first got there was such a pleasant surprise and definitely eased our stresses. They had wonderful ideas in regards to spots on campus and ways to pose us together. These are photos we will adore for the rest of our lives and will continue to reach out to Akes Photography for any photos needed in the future. Looking forward to future sessions. 10/10 recommend!

Jeremy and Lisa were great!! They go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. They truly take pride in what they do. They gave us so many photos and they were all so amazing! I highly recommend them for your next event

April Noble

These two photographers(Lisa and Jeremy)are simply the kindest couple ever. They are interested in your ideas but they also have their own ideas too. They travel to the event/photoshoot and predetermined the location(s) that are just stunning for the background of your shoot. How many pictures do you get? TONS for the price! If you need a great family/professional/event photoshoot taken, then Akes Photography is your go too. You won't be disappointed.

If you want outfit changes, different locations and a photographer who wants to insure you get what you’re looking for, Akes Photography is your #1 pick by far! Lisa and Jeremy made all my photo dreams come true, to say the least. They scouted places I sent them, and even went above and beyond to find more places. I didn’t come with much, and they had ideas flowing and poses ready to go for me to use. Turn around time was exceptional! Most importantly, they are passionate about their work, and they are exactly who you want to capture all your moments.

There are moments in life that make us so happy we decided to get into photography. These moments are most often filled with joy and laughter, which was the case in our afternoon spent with Caitlin and Ryan at the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Scissortail Park.
&nbsp;
Caitlin and Ryan are a beautiful couple and it's easy to see how much they love each other. Their chemistry made it easy to capture some amazing moments and we're so glad we could be a part of the memories they built during the day.
&nbsp;
Our photography session with Caitlin and Ryan took us to some beautiful locations in the greater OKC metro area. We had the opportunity to scout unique and special sites that perfectly encapsulated their love story. The result was a series of pictures that not only showcase their love, but also the beautiful locations that were the backdrop of their story.
&nbsp;
Being a part of Caitlin and Ryan's love story meant ensuring that every detail was taken care of. This included providing them with all the pictures worth keeping from the day, all professionally edited with no upselling for additional photos. We take pride in every picture we take, and want to make sure every memory ends up in the hands of our clients.
&nbsp;
We also believe in the power of customization. Each photo from Caitlin and Ryan's session was custom cropped and retouched. This was done to enhance the color, lighting, and texture of every picture. It was all about creating images that were not just visually appealing, but also meaningful and significant to Caitlin and Ryan.
&nbsp;
We just love capturing love stories like Caitlin and Ryan's. It's a reminder of why we do what we do, and we are always excited to be a part of such aspecial journey. If you are looking to capture your own love story or any other special moments, feel free to reach out to us. You can DM us or book us through our website akesphotography.com. We look forward to helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Caitlin & Ryan | Couples Session | Myriad Botanical Gardens and Scissortail Park

October 27th 2023 was an amazing day. We had been talking with Brad and April for months, and did an engagement session where we all connected extremely well and got us excited for the big day! When it finally came the day couldn't have gone better. We spent the day with them from getting ready through them leaving around 10:00PM which was a long day! But it was so satisfying knowing all went well and they would have beatiful photographs to look forward to in the future. April and Brad - we wish you the absolute best in your marriage and really appreciate you letting us be part of your incredible day.
&nbsp;
Regarding the venue: Clauren Ridge Vineyard and Winery is an absolutely beautiful place to get married. With a spacious and open property and plenty of space inside for guests, it has everything you could ask for in a wedding venue. There is plenty of room for guests downstairs and easy parking on site for all your guests as well.
&nbsp;
Having plenty of room for a reception and ceremony at the same place makes it incredible convenient, and being so close to town makes it very easy to drive to. We highly recomend the property; if you have any questions about the venue let us know and we will be glad to help in any way we can!

April & Brad | Wedding Session | Clauren Ridge Vineyard and Winery

April and Brad are an amazing couple and we had so much fun hanging out together and doing this engagement session! We met April and Brad at the George Sutton Wilderness Park in Norman Oklahoma. There are some amazing locations in this park and we ran out of light before we ran out of locations to take photographs. Engagement sessions are about celebrating the love a couple has for each other and allowing a relationship to form with the photographers and couple. This helps to get everyone on the same page going into the wedding and helps to capture through photographs the excitement a couple has when getting close to their wedding.
&nbsp;
That's why we include an engagement session with every wedding package! Book with us today to reserve your spot for this year's fast approaching wedding season.
