Best Photographers Ever!

Carl and Michelle are absolutely the best! They are so professional and make their clients feel at ease. Their pictures are truly works of art that you will cherish for years to come. With their mix of digital and film their work is timeless and classic. They did both our engagement pictures and wedding and we were in awe when we received them! We really cannot put into words how amazing they are as photographers and how breathtaking their work is. We highly recommend them to anyone and we will continue to use them as our photographers of choice!

Michelle and Carl are amazing!! I’m so happy we picked them for our engagement session in Wilmington, NC and wedding in Emerald Isle, NC. They are so much fun, and so talented at what they do. Whether you have ideas of what you want or just let them work their magic, they will get wonderful shots. They were extremely responsive, and easy to work with. One of the best decisions of planning our wedding, was having them. We will be using them in the future for any other special events, and highly recommend them to everyone else!

Michelle and Carl are absolutely amazing! If you are still looking for a wedding photographer, stop reading this and book them immediately! The pair are incredibly talented; they shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos. My husband and I were both overwhelmed by the pictures they captured, the photos were more beautiful than what we remember in real life. We definitely gave them a challenge with our venue and lighting and they overcame it and more. Michelle shot more creative, artistic photos which my husband loved while Carl shot traditional photos that speak on their own which I really loved. Best of all, we actually forgot they were even at our wedding, they captured amazing photos without being in the middle of everything (one of my biggest pet peeves at weddings). I can't speak highly enough of them and their work!

Highly recommend getting them for your entire wedding day- We loved having them photograph our candid moments getting ready.

I am so happy that I chose keepsake memories for our wedding photographers. Michelle and Carl are absolutely amazing at what they do. My husband and I aren’t very comfortable in front of the camera but they eased our worries and we had a wonderful time. Some of my best memories of that day were sharing that special time during the bride and groom portraits with my husband. The pictures came out so beautifully and my entire wedding party gushed about how much they loved Michelle and Carl. If you are in need of a great wedding photographer, please don’t hesitate to hire them. You will not regret it.

You will not regret choosing Keepsake Memories Photography. Michelle and Carl are easy-going, honest and have an eye for absolutely STUNNING pictures. I took one look at their portfolios while talking to them at a bridal show and knew they’d be able to capture exactly what I was looking for in my wedding photos. My future husband had no say in this whatsoever, and after the wedding he said to me, “They were my favorite. I would hire them again. They didn’t make me feel awkward and I think our pictures are going to come out awesome.” (and he NEVER tells me when I’m right!) Michelle and Carl: you killed it! We are so thankful for you and your talent, and Preston & I are very hopeful we’ll see you in the future!

MICHELLE & CARL ARE THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS AROUND!!! Our wedding pictures were even better than we could have hoped. They are so professional, flexible, and friendly! They were just as excited about our day as we were. Their work is unlike any other, and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best wedding pictures possible! We absolutely loved having them be apart of our day!

Michelle & Carl are amazing at what they do! My husband and I could not have asked for more professional & friendly photographers the day of our wedding. Even though we ran into a few hiccups with our wedding timeline, Michelle & Carl were extremely helpful and flexible. We were still able to get the shots we wanted, as well as some extra shots that turned out amazing. We could not be happier with our wedding pictures, which turned out even better than we had hoped for. We are glad that we opted for Keepsake Memories Photography, as we wanted to make sure our big day was well documented. The extra metaphorical icing on the cake was that Michelle & Carl finished editing our photos and sent them to us within just a few weeks of our actual wedding date. While, we were willing to wait for quality photos, it was very nice to have their amazing shots sent to us in such a quick manner. I would highly recommend Keepsake Memories Photography.

Michelle and Carl with Keepsake are the best! They, of course, take phenomenal pictures but just as important, they are kind, generous, fun and will feel like they are your friends before your wedding day comes to an end! We laughed throughout our engagement photo session, loved having Michelle be there for our rehearsal dinner and had an amazing wedding day.
Michelle and Carl are super responsive, will answer all of your questions and are very professional. They send the links to your pictures out very quickly! To end with, Michelle and Carl are genuinely wonderful people and an inspiring couple-- it was a privilege to have them photograph our wedding!

I could not be happier that I found Keepsake Memories!! Michelle took sunrise engagement pictures of my fiance and myself while we were on vacation in Kure Beach, NC. They turned out AMAZING!!!! Better than I ever imagined! So creative and natural looking. We have gotten SO many compliments on them already. Michelle made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun!! She was so accommodating to our schedule, as we ended up coming down a day earlier than planned, so we had to reschedule our shoot to a day earlier. She always responded to my emails the same day, and never made me feel like I was a bother with all my questions :) We are going to cherish these pictures forever!!!! Thank you so so much Michelle!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
