    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!

    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!!!

    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 is AMAZING! My fiancé is stationed in NC and we needed engagement pictures taken. I came all the from Missouri and was extremely nervous about finding a photographer since I wasn't from the area. I did lots of research! I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Not only was Michelle so helpful but she kept my mind at ease about everything! From picking out outfits, locations, and ideas... she was ALWAYS there! She's so fun and easy to work with! She's very quick to respond to emails and keeps you informed! My fiancé and I really enjoyed our session and have some absolutely beautiful pictures to look at for years to come! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone! Thanks again, Michelle!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS!! This couple made my wedding day so special! I felt as though I was working with a friend rather than someone I hired. Michelle helped me out so much that day and I am forever grateful! Her and Carl are so sweet and make you feel comfortable. They were willing to work in the rain and the photos turned out GREAT! I screamed in excitement going through them. Thank you SO much for everything!!!

    I booked Michelle for my husband and I's elopement session and through the rain, constant change in plans and times (military time is not friends with personal life time) she was there ready to do her thing! She is so incredibly professional and makes sure that you are always comfortable. She asks for your input if you're looking for a specific look and she is also very creative. We loved her and would definitely recommend her to Anyone and everyone!

    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!

    Absolutely amazing photographers! Michelle and her husband did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with the content they gave us. It was a very cold day and they completely understand that and did not push for photos. Gave s time to heat up and then go back to take photos. Also, I loved the fact that they gave us our space during the reception. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

    Michelle did a wonderful job on our engagement photography. I don't think of myself as photogenic, but she made us feel at ease. She gave some instruction but told us to do what felt natural. What really led me to choose Michelle is her photos look so natural with beautiful lighting. Not cheesy at all. I have about 60 favorite photos from our session. Some we look like goofballs, but that's our fault. So many beautiful shots to choose from. Thank you Michelle! We would totally hire you for our wedding if we were going to marry in NC! Many blessings to you :)

    Michelle and Carl are the absolute best! They are calm and brought so much laughter to our day. We had just as much fun with them as our wedding guest. As a bride I thought that taking photos would be a chore but they made it the best experience and we really loved having them at our wedding! We highly recommend them and plan to use them in the near future.

    They say a wet knot is stronger, in my experience i am praying that is true. I had the pleasure of having Michelle and Carl be my photographer for our wedding and bridal portraits. The day of my bridal portraits it was raining fairly heavily and I was unable to reschedule. Michelle found a very cool cotton mill that allowed us to take pictures at. She even shot photos of me in the pouring rain. When I got the photos back I could not have been happier. They were stunning, fun and the backdrops (brick walls, ivy and stairways) she chose were complimentary to my personality and dress. Then our wedding day a hurricane decided to join the party. Carl and Michelle made the 3 hour drive to my location in rain and flooding and braved the storm with us. They were one of the few that did not cancel on us. They went above and beyond for our wedding day and We could not be happier with the service and photos they provided.

    If you want a photographer who will be willing to handle anything your wedding day may throw at you then look no further. You will have wonderful photos and memories to treasure with Keepsake Memories Photography.

    I cannot say enough about how warm, friendly and professional both Michelle are Carl were photographing our wedding! Right from the beginning when we talked to them and then met them, we felt like we were in the hands of seasoned experts, and felt totally comfortable shooting with them. Michelle is excellent at giving direction, and I never felt like we were “posed” – all of our shots felt natural to us and I really credit that with their expertise. I’m so glad we chose them to capture all of our special moments and photograph our day!

    Booking Michelle and Carl as photographers for our wedding last April was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. We got the package that included engagement shoot, a bridal shoot (we traded for print credit instead), the rehearsal dinner, the full wedding (the whole time frame must have been about 11 hours), a photo album, and credit towards prints. Michelle and Carl were so fun to work with, were very flexible with anything that came our way, and they always made us feel very comfortable. They also have great photography ideas about how to pose, and we are so lucky to have photos we will cherish for a lifetime. After the wedding, we received the high quality images in an extremely timely fashion, and they worked with us right after our honeymoon to create our photo album and ordered it very quickly. I very highly recommend Keepsake Memories!

    We had our wedding pictures taken by Keepsake Memories a year and a half ago and to this day I still love going through and looking at all the beautiful pictures they took and we still get compliments all the time! Keepsake Memories was very easy to work with and was very helpful in deciding what photos we wanted taken. I recommended their services to friends who got married in North Carolina as well and they too, had great success. Using Keepsake Memories was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    Michelle and Carl are absolutely wonderful! They were prompt in returning all of our e-mails, as well as finalizing all of our wedding and engagement photos. They turned out beautiful and we have already received countless compliments on them. We would defiantly choose Keepsake Memories Photography again if we had the chance!

    Michelle and Carl are the real deal. They took the time to speak with my husband and I about what we wanted, what was most important to us and they made it all happen. They're professional, flexible, kind and not to mention talented. We we're married in October of 2014 and I still catch myself looking at the photos all over again. Needless to say our expectations we're exceeded!

    I found Keepsake Memories pretty late into planning my wedding after calling other photographers that were booked. I am SO GLAD that Keepsake was not booked!! I only wish I had called them the first time! Michelle and Carl were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were some of the nicest people and made me feel really relaxed when taking pictures (I am not a photogenic person). I loved all of my pictures they were perfect!! If I ever need another photographer Keepsake will be my first call!!! It could not have worked out better!! I am so pleased that I was able to work with Keepsake Memories on my wedding day!!!

    Sherry is a rock star. Our photos are absolutely lovely, she is a joy to work with, she's responsive, she's professional, and most of all she's a great photographer. She captured our day perfectly, and I will 100 percent use her services in the future.

    Michelle did an amazing job! And it such a pleasant experience - that is saying something! She dealt easily with the couple on another continent! As different families and locations are involved, it is wonderful to have the picture files so the parties can print whatever they desire.
    Michelle is special and the pictures were GREAT! Each time she said "got it" I wondered - but SHE DID IT! I can definitely recommend her!!! You will not be disappointed.
    Thank you from mother of the groom!
