  Carl is absolutely amazing! We had our wedding last May, and our pictures turned out so great! We have started making albums with so much photos. He captured so much of the fun and all the love from that day as we remember it. We have pictures of absolutely every one of our guests that we decided to send with our thank you notes for them to keep. Our bridal party photos are fun and the portraits of me and my now husband are fantastic! I definitely recommend HRP!

  Carl and his assistant, Christine were fantastic to work with! We did a bridal shoot with them first, and those pics turned out fabulous! We just got back the pics from the wedding day and they are so awesome! Carl listened to my concerns and was very professional in all aspects. His prices were themost resonable of all the photographers in this area and his work is just as good or better! We couldn't have had a more fabulous day, and Carl and Christine captured the day, perfectly!

  Carl and Christine were wonderful! They had wonderful ideas for photographs and worked quickly so that we did not miss our wedding. We worked with Carl on our engagement photos as well, and we adored those as well. Christine went above and beyond, helping my bridesmaids lace up my gown! I highly recommend them!

  Beautiful work!! I did a bridal portrait and the day of my wedding photography. Carl managed to get all of the special moments and blended in to the crowd so you didnt even notice him! I felt so comfortable at my bridal portrait with him, it was so much easier to have a natural smile than any other photographer I have worked with.

  Carl and his staff were exceptional during our event. They made pre-event planning very easy and straight forward as well. On the actual date they were able to show up when we asked and were very kind when it came to all our family and friends trying to edge in on taking photos. My bride and I certainly felt as though HRP had our best interests at heart. I don't even remember photos being taken which tells you how non-obtrusive they were during the reception and ceremony.
  The options they have for wedding photos and books are also very unique. The best part is being able to buy a DVD of all our photos as well as the copy rights to those photos. It is nice to know that our wedding day will not be commercialized. Thank you Carl and HRP for making our night eternal.

  I cannot say enough good things about Hampton Roads Photography. They shot our engagement session as well as our wedding, and we could not be more thrilled with the beautiful pictures we have received. The team is extremely responsive, friendly, and partners so well with their clients. The quality and professionalism we received is unmatched. I highly recommend Hampton Roads Photography and we plan on using them again in the future!

  Carl & Christines work is amazing. I had my bridal portraits taken by them and they were also at my wedding. They stayed from start to finish. They captured every moment. They also go tmy photos back to me very quickly. They are great.

  This was one of the only photographers that would not charge by the hour. He had packages that were all day long, which was great because we had a gap between our service and reception. They were so quick to capture the great moments. They even ran back to their studio and printed out a picture from our ceremony, so they could display it at the reception. WONDERFUL! A combo of artistic and casual pics all in one. Great price, too. They also gave us a CD filled with high-res pics, so we own the rights to print our photos or do whatever with them. Great company!

  Carl Anderson is incredibly talented. He was available all day with no added charges for extra hours. In fact, by the end of the night I had to tell him he could go because I felt badly that we were continuing to celebrate into the wee hours of the night.
  
  I am so glad that we purchased the DVD of the photos. I have taken advantage of it several times over the last year for gifts, cards, etc.
  
  I have been too busy to get in with him to pick out my album photos but he has been incredibly patient despite the fact that my wedding was a year ago.
  
  We highly reccomend him.

  Carl is awesome! They were very flexible with us and let us enjoy our evening throughout the night. They took great shot and never felt intrusive. My only concern was my all inclusive package with the vendor didn't include much so it caused them to be a bit pricey but they did do a great job and reliability is important to me. He was professional and sweet and made everyone feel great! Thanks Carl!!

  Loved, loved, LOVED my pictures! He took so many quality photos that day that I have had other friends tell me they are jealous. I would highly recommend.

  Unfortunately writing this review is a bit of a struggle. Both Carl and his assistant arrived right on time and took almost 1000 photos, but I was surprised that neither took a lot of the "standard" wedding pictures. I have no artistic looking photos of me in my dress - in fact there are only 2 photos taken of me without others, and same with my husband. While getting ready, Carl's assistant, who was taking the place of his regular assistant who was out of town, rarely took photos and many of the staged photos (e.g., artistic photos of the rings, of the dress on the hanger, etc.) were only taken because my videographer set them up. I was so caught up in the day that I didn't think I would need to ask the photographer to take some of these photos, but looking back I wish that I had. I will admit that there are alot of fantastic photos that were taken - most of which I attribute to Carl and not his assistant, who took almost half of the photos herself. I would recommend Carl, and perhaps his regular assistant, but the fill-in unfortunately took very sub-standard photos.

  I was very happy with the quality of my photos. It is very clear that Carl and his assistant are professionally trained photographers that knew what they were doing. The lighting is perfect, the exposure is great, the photos just look fantastic. I don't know how clear the photos would come out if they were printed large. While the resolution is good they seem to be fairly low on the megapixel side. Carl showed up late after some apparent misunderstanding despite us having talked about him getting photos of us getting ready. I was also a little disappointed to see my bra hanging out of the top of the back of my dress in many pics. As an amateur photographer, I think details like this, however minor, make a big difference in the scheme of things and I would have been happy if he or someone had told me about it so I could have remedied the problem sooner. Regardless, we got a lot of good photos and in a reasonable amount of time. The photos were much better than many other people's wedding photos that I have seen and I would still gladly recommend Carl to a friend.

  I was not overly impressed with my photos that were taken. The photos ended up looking like photos that I could have taken myself. he also did not get some photos that i would have like to have had. He had us standing very stiff in most of the pictures instead of trying to have us look natural. My 2 sister-in-laws both used him and their pictures tunrned out beautifully...it was as if he was having a down day and just didn't care.
