sonable rates. After meeting the Habers, we just knew that they would do an amazing job capturing our very special day. After some long deliberating and decision making, we decided that a surprise elopement a year early was just what we wanted instead of the painstakingly long process of planning a big wedding! Especially with us now moving away from the Outer Banks in the spring. I told my husband that as long as we could still have professional pictures taken, that it was all alright with me. After all, I am a big believer in having beautiful pictures for long-lasting memories. And of course, this is the biggest moment of our lives! When we made the decision to elope, it was with little over a week before the 3 year anniversary of our first date, which of course was at the waterfront in Manteo. It could not have been more perfect for an elopement! I was very skeptical that the Habers would have the free time to do this for us, so we thought that a weeknight wedding may make things run more smoothly for planning. We were pleasantly surprised to hear that they were free and very happy to help us out! Michelle seemed just as excited as us in this big secret we were sharing with them! I’ve always wanted to get married at sunset, it being my favorite time of the day. So Michelle helped us begin to plan the where and when for the small ceremony to try to make the most of the light. My husband met with the Habers that afternoon and they all decided that the Lighthouse would make for the best setup, and then we would stroll around downtown Manteo snapping pictures as we went, and hoping against hope to catch one of our local famous sunset skies. Believe me when I tell you, seeing how our pictures turned out brought tears to my eyes. I was expecting something great, given I’d been researching their work online for the past few months, I knew they would turn out well. But what we got was something beyond words. They were better than I could have ever imagined. There were shots I hadn’t thought of, and they turned out to be some of my favorites! My wonderful husband picked out my bouquet, and they actually matched our sunset perfectly! I have received so many compliments from friends and family. I recommend Michelle and Doug from Outer Banks Productions, due to their imagination, free & easy personalities, humor and above all else their professionalism. Something you don’t always get from local businesses in this area. Thank you Michelle and Doug for sharing with us, and helping to capture our very special day! We look forward to a ‘Trash the Dress’ session this winter/spring!

tion was prompt and clear, and both made me feel very relaxed and secure. As a photographer, Michelle was professional and fun, and had great advice and tips for poses and angles to get us the best pictures! Thanks for everything!

plenty of ideas for wedding and reception locations since I had a destination wedding. They were on time and took wonderful photos. Not overbearing or pushy and the price was great.

family liked her so much that we hired her to take family photos on the beach later in the week. I have not recieved my photos yet it has inly been 2 weeks since the wedding but I am sure they will turn out wonderfully.
