About Open Aperture Photography
It's about the experience. Photography isn't just about having an expensive camera and pushing a button. It's about the process: having fun on location with knowledgeable photographers and making art to show your friends and family.
We do it all for the experience. We provide a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere that our couples and families can enjoy.
Our standard coverage area includes much of Eastern North Carolina, ranging from Greenville to Jacksonville and Kinston to the coast. For a custom quoted travel fee we're also available for travel. We have covered weddings from east (North Carolina) to west (Arizona) and north (Pennsylvania) to south (Florida).
We're proud members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and we use the training and education they provide on every shoot.
About Bob and Amanda
We're a lucky husband and wife team who gets the opportunity to work with other new couples. What a dream!
Bob is the lead photographer and he's the man with the plan (unless he gets overruled by Amanda). He cut his teeth doing TV news and made the jump to weddings and portraits a couple years ago.
Amanda is the second photographer and on-site assistant. She's there to shoot as well as help Bob and our couples (and not necessarily in that order) with whatever they need.

About Bridal Registry
A program unlike anything else in the area.
Albums, fancy wraps and large prints can be tough to afford after a wedding, so have somebody else buy them for you! Our bridal registry works similar to ones you've seen in a department store: Choose what you want and your family and friends can call us and go from there.
Bridal Registry Highlights:
-Your friends and family can purchase merchandise credit that can be redeemed after your wedding day.
-The credit can be used on any post-wedding merchandise that we offer: albums, prints, wraps, etc.
-Credit can be purchased in increments of $50.
-You set the maximum amount that can be sold.
-We provide you with registry cards to send to your guests.
