Dear David, You now have a little daughter. Some day she will be married. It is my hope that on that day someone like you does the photography for her wedding. Your work is truly magnificent. You haven't just taken photos; you have given memories that are virtually as vivid and real as the day these memories were made.
Given that Kristin herself is a photographer, I am sure there was some extra pressure not to let her down. Trust me when I tell you that she is ecstatic with your work.
When I first saw the photos and watched the slide show I was moved beyond an outward visible reaction. I cannot describe to you, or to anyone the joy I felt. You are an unbelievably gifted artist. The thought that went into the creation of each photo and in turn the combined force of all the photos documenting the wedding and brilliantly set to music is pure genius. The colours, the composition, the attention to every little detail, show not just a person whose vocation is photography; rather an artist whose avocation is the love of the art form.
Thank you for the greatest gift any Mother can receive on the occasion of one of the defining moments in life- my personal recording of my daughter's wedding, as memorable in pictures as it was in reality.
Gratefully,
It is exactly one week to the hour that I began to walk down the aisle, as I write you this email; We have just come back from the honeymoon at the cottage, and have peeked into our photos in the client gallery. We had to stop, so as not to lose the anticipation, and the savouring of what your photos have already let us relive. You captured what Jeff and I both agree was the most amazing moment of our lives. It's really a marvel, actually.. that at that time, it really felt like there was no one but he and I in the whole room. And yet, you were there, with your lens, capturing every moment so perfectly, that.. exactly one week to the hour, we are able to relive the excitement, the joy.. and see who else was there and excited for us.
Thank you for: your kindness, your patience, your calmness, your organization, your excellent communication skills, your professionalism, your compassion (not everyone jumps at the idea of photographing a jumpy bride, and her rottweilers!) Thank you for the reasonable price point, and most of all, for your incredible skill. Each picture is worth a thousand words, so based on that, Jeff and I, and all of the guests who are so happy to have been captured, owe you at least a novel of gratitude.
Thank you for bringing Selina as your sidekick. I suspect all of your partners are good, but she really made me feel beautiful.
At 43, I've seen lots of wedding photography, (and heard about the pricing!) None compare in any way to you. I want them to know that I asked you to include this letter so that they can make an informed decision. They can even call me if it comes down to it. YOU ARE THE BEST, and I am neither prone to writing letters of recommendation (while still technically on my honeymoon, nor am I prone to hyperbole.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
The pictures are beautiful and the montage is amazing! Joel and I (along with our family and friends) LOVE them. Thank You again for taking such wonderful and memorable photos. The pictures are exactly what we wanted and you guys did an amazing job in accommodating to our requests. It's been a pleasure.
Chris and I would like to thank you once again for the fabulous job you did for our wedding. It was just so wonderful, we really are happy and feel as though we made the right choice in going with your service. We recommend you to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with such an important day.
David was an ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING vendor. David was a calm, patient and friendly influence throughout the whole day, and I believe his excellent work speaks for itself. Not only were his photographs simply amazing, a DVD slideshow copy of them was READY for us THE NEXT DAY when we passed through Toronto on our way home, 3 days earlier than originally scheduled.
My only regret about hiring David is that he eventually had to go home at the end of the day! A fabulous vendor, and all-round nice guy.
David has taken portraits of my children many times over the past three years and he has never failed to capture them at their absolute best, no matter how dirty their faces or how messy their hair and clothes. He has an incredible amount of patience and is never bothered by their unwillingness to sit still or to stop goofing off. He is extremely good with children, including fussy babies or shy toddlers. He has taken photos of my two sons that have brought tears of joy and emotion to their grandmothers’ eyes. He has never made myself or my children pose awkwardly, as some professional photographers do, but has a rare talent for capturing the perfect moment or the perfect expression by allowing his subjects to be themselves and relax.
David was extremely professional, and incredibly easy-going and fun, even when the "Paparazzi" showed up- a group of about 20 snap-happy and vocal wedding guests who followed us down to our "˜private" portrait session, and had no qualms about bossing him around and getting in the way while he tried to do his job! "Hey! Don't move her yet! We haven't all finished getting OUR snaps of the portraits you've set up") He even "hired" my enthusiastic cousin as his assistant for the day, and lent her one of his very expensive cameras when he saw how much fun she was having with our photo sessions.
What can I say rather than they are phenomenal and we are so very happy with both the presentation and the photographs themselves. We watched them last night and the whole thing literally brought tears to my eyes I think that Mike was somewhat misty at a few points too.
OUR PICTURES BY DAVID ARE UNBELIEVABLE, they are sooo good that we are having difficulties selecting a portrait!!!! YOU HAVE TO SEE OUR SLIDE SHOW. If you are getting married or whatever, you HAVE to book this guy!!!! HE's AWESOME
After my father passed away, when my mother was forced to sell our family farm, David came to take photos of the place in which I grew up and loved. This land is where I developed my love of nature, and I wondered if anyone could capture what I felt for the farm in photos. David did just that. Although we no longer have our farm, we have a beautiful keepsake in a photo book and slideshow. Now, when I look at the evocative photos he took, I am transported to another world and a home that will always be a part of me. If it is possible, his photos made my farm appear even more beautiful than it is in reality.
You captured the day perfectly; the surroundings and decor, the food and drink, guests, families, wedding party, and the actual ceremony and reception. They are truly beautiful and we are so looking forward to getting many of them printed. Our families will be absolutely thrilled with them, and I would hazard a guess that once they see the presentation that I may be contacting you for more copies
All I can say is...... WOW Absolutely fabulous! Both of us are happy and very pleased with the outcome of the DVD. As David says "It's Cool!" not boring! Like other wedding videos...yawn, boooorrring, yawn "This is amazing" So that's his way of saying what I just said....WOW!!
The pictures are outstanding and you had a lot that I appreciate (the "4 generations photo" made my day!!) and David says he's got some picked out for his mom's blow-up photos
Darcy and I are so happy with our photos! Our families have enjoyed the DVD's. You certainly caught the feel of the wedding that we were hoping to achieve.
David, I just wanted to let you know that we are THRILLED with the photos. Paul has had tons of fun with photo-shopping them and we printed many as Christmas gifts, especially the ones of the baby. I've watched the DVD too many times to count (though not of my own doing , my parents are obsessed) and we've had requests for prints of some for family members. We've also had requests for your information and have been happy to pass it along.
We just want to tell you that we are very pleased with the DVD that you prepared for us. We've already watched it twice and it was just like being there again! ¨The photos are terrific and we love the way you set them to our music selections. You and your assistant, Selina, were great to work with on our Wedding Day. We are very impressed with the way that you caught all of the moments of our special day, right down to the small details. We will highly recommend your services and work to our families and friends.
The final DVD product of David's work is a heart felt emotional recap of your day. David was able to capture all the emotions of our day into each still shot. On our wedding day we could hardly even tell we had a photographer due to his unobtrusive and professional style of picture taking but after reviewing our pictures he did not miss a shot or picture opportunity. David has a gift that he is able to package in all his pictures for you to enjoy.
David was fantastic! He was very helpful since we had no idea what we were really looking for on the day of. We received our photos back and they are just wonderful. Can't wait to share them with family and friends.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We absolutely love all our photos. They are perfect and captured the feel and personality of the event and people there. We are thrilled to have so many candid photos of our guests and it was exactly what we wanted for our memories. We look back at our photos and are transported back to our wedding and can feel, hear, remember everything that happened. As well, having all the images on CD gives us great flexibility for the size and type of photos we want printed.
Having two photographers ensured every important photo was captured in a number of different ways. You were both extremely professional and unimposing while still getting all the key photos. We could not have asked for anything more and your pricing was incredible. With so many wedding photographers to choose from we were lucky to have found you. I truly believe no one would have done as good a job or captured our wedding so completely . I would gladly recommend you to anyone.
We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did of capturing out wedding day memories. The CD arrived safely ad the slideshow is a great keepsake. You and your assistant were very professional and the product reflects this. We will definitely be recommending your services in the future.
David, Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did on our wedding photography. We were thrilled with the pictures as is the rest of our family. You were such a great person to deal with throughout the process and on the day of the wedding. Thank you again for everything. We will treasure the pictures forever.
Dear David, Thanks you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special. The photographs you took were incredible-we loved them all! Thanks again!
We would like to really thank you for your amazing work at our wedding. Right from meeting you at the wedding show, we had a feeling that you were genuine and that we had found someone great to work with. The pictures that you took are of outstanding quality, they vary in composition, with a good balance of poses and informal shots.
We looked at the photos and we absolutely love them. You are truly an artist and fantastic! My mom has already recommended you to everyone she knows. Lol. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I received for my birthday last week, the photo album of Jackson's first year. Not surprizingly you continue to amaze! The photos are magnificent as always, capturing the most poignant and comic moments so perfectly; but as well, the thoughtful and artistic composition of the album from front to back cover is stunning. The artful juxtaposition of the tone, mood and colour of the photos is hauntingly beautiful. Having the wonderful wedding album already, and now being able to add to it my grandson's first year documented in pictures, is the most priceless gift one can be given, and you have made that possible for me. I want to thank you for the time and effort which you so generously and thoughtfully provided in order that I might have this most cherished book of memories. Only as a parent, and grandparent, can one know the true essence of what these treasured memories mean, and the complete and utter joy which accompanies these everlasting moments. Again, thank you so very much.
