Professional Service, Beautiful Photos

Michael Williams was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was clear to tell from his portfolio that he would do an excellent job of documenting our wedding day. He did a great job of making sure that all of the special moments, and family pictures, were scheduled and taken accordingly. We knew just what to expect and when. Our engagement pictures were gorgeous, taken in downtown Raleigh. We cannot wait to see the wedding pictures!! Michael Williams is highly recommended.

Fantastic wedding photographer!

Michael was a fantastic wedding photographer! From our first meeting with him, he provided the right insights to help plan our wedding and engagement photos. The planning process was done in a way that was not overwhelming, and everything went smoothly and like clockwork on the wedding day. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out beautifully!! The wedding album book is perfect and something we will cherish for many years to come. The price for what you get is definitely reasonable, and we would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a photographer!

Michael's Memories were amazing! They were so easy to work with and very accommodating to all of our needs. Some of our family members had mobility issues and Michael was very flexible and willing to take the pictures in whatever way would be comfortable to them. He listened to all of our suggestions and wants when it came to the type of pictures and never made us feel like we were taking pictures that didn't match our personality and style. We loved our engagement pictures with them and can't wait to see the wedding photos!

Michael was extremely easy to work with and walked us through the entire process. He was patient with all my numerous questions and helped us plan to get the most important pictures quickly on our wedding day. He also made the engagement shoot a lot of fun and helped us get comfortable with the camera.

On our big day, I barely noticed that Michael and Marci were there. Again, they were patient with the gathering of the family members, last-minute changes in the order, etc. The results were amazing, I couldn't be happier with my pictures and the albulm. Thanks again for being a part of our very special day.

Michaels' Memories was a joy to work with for my engagement and wedding photos. Michael met with me beforehand to discuss what kinds of photos and where I would like to have the photos taken. Michael really made me feel comfortable and like he would honor every one of my wishes. He also was open to doing the different kinds of shots and venues that I wanted to do—even though there were several places I wanted to go and a variety of shots I wanted taken. During the engagement session Michael made us feel so special and important. He gently guided us into positions and poses that would lead to wonderful photographs and truly capture who we were. He was also very patient with us as we moved locations and changed outfits. I never once felt like he was on a time crunch or needed to wrap things up. When the pictures came back I was absolutely delighted. Michael had captured every type of shot—the fun, romantic, and whimsical that I had wanted. Each picture was carefully taken and beautiful.

After having such a positive experience for my engagement session I didn't have to think twice about having Michael shoot my wedding photos! On the day of the wedding his wife came in to do the session with my bridesmaids and me, while Michael did the photos with the groom and groomsmen. During the ceremony they were also stationed in different places to get different kinds of shots. Then after the ceremony during the cocktail hour we were able to do some indoor shots as well as outdoor shots. I enjoyed the fact that Michael wanted to have fun with the shots—doing some formal poses and some fun and unique poses. I love my pictures and wouldn't have changed anything! I cannot wait until I finally narrow down the pictures to make an album to see what that turns out like!

If you want a truly terrific photographer who will work with you and make sure you get the photos you want that are also beautiful I STRONGLY recommend that you choose Michael's Memories!

It was a pleasure having Michael and Marcy photograph our wedding day. The wedding pictures were the most beautiful pictures that I had every seen! (and I'm not photogenic) I could not be more happy with the pictures and how perfectly they captured every moment of our special day. They both do amazing work and paid attention to the very small details of the wedding and even happened to captured the personalities of our family and friends that were present that day. I have heard from other brides that the photographer missed capturing a particular family member or moment...Michael sits down with you about a month in advanced of the wedding to make sure they capture every picture you'd want. They were very professional, efficient and well organized. Michael's Memories truly does do amazing work (I can't stress amazing)!

The occasion was our daughter's wedding. Service: Excellent! Quality: Outstanding! Customer Service: Top-notch all the way. We were delighted with everything delivered and would recommend Michael and his wife wholeheartedly. It's always a nervous time waiting to see the final product, but Michael's work was delivered on time with excellent results and great follow-up, and the pictures were truly a delight. We're still talking about it! Great work!
