The 3 Best Photo Spots at Wild Oaths Wedding Venue.
When couples tour Wild Oaths, one of the first questions we hear is:
“Where are the best places for photos?”
While the entire venue offers character and flexibility, there are three spots that couples (and photographers) return to again and again. Each one brings a completely different feel from editorial and modern, to timeless and romantic, to airy skyline views.
Here are the three most-loved photo locations at Wild Oaths.
1. The Front Gate: Industrial, Editorial, and Iconic.
Timeless moments at our front gate.
Just beyond the front gate of our building is one of the most recognizable photo spots at Wild Oaths. Framed by textured metal doors, historic brick, and bold architectural details, this area gives photos a modern-industrial, editorial feel that stands out instantly.
Couples love this spot for:
Dramatic portraits with strong lines and contrast
A downtown, urban look without leaving the venue
Timeless images that feel polished and intentional
Whether styled formally or more relaxed, the front gate creates images that feel effortlessly cool and unmistakably Wild Oaths.
2. The Pecan Tree: A Ceremony Spot Full of Meaning.
Where vows are exchanged beneath the pecan tree.
The pecan tree holds a special place at Wild Oaths not just visually, but emotionally. This is where many of our couples choose to say their vows, making it one of the most meaningful photo locations on the property.
With its wide branches and natural canopy, the pecan tree offers:
Soft, organic light throughout the day
A romantic, grounded setting for ceremonies
A sense of tradition and intimacy
Photos taken here feel warm, personal, and deeply connected to the moment. It’s a space that naturally invites stillness, reflection, and celebration and that feeling always comes through in images.
3. The Rooftop: Skyline Views & Golden Hour Magic.
Skyline views, just the two of them.
For couples who want something elevated (literally), our rooftop delivers. With sweeping views of Downtown Kinston’s skyline, this space offers a completely different atmosphere from the rest of the venue.
The rooftop is especially loved for:
Golden hour portraits with open sky and city views
Clean, airy images with a modern edge
A sense of scale and openness that feels cinematic
From quiet moments to dramatic portraits, rooftop photos feel expansive and timeless a perfect contrast to the intimacy found elsewhere on the property.
One Venue, Three Distinct Photo Styles
What makes Wild Oaths unique is how much variety couples can experience without ever leaving the venue. In one wedding day, you can capture:
Editorial, urban portraits at the front gate
Romantic, emotional moments under the pecan tree
Light-filled, skyline views on the rooftop
Each location tells part of the story — and together, they create a wedding gallery that feels intentional, layered, and uniquely yours.
