Dear George,

Thank you for the wonderful job you did photographing the weddings of both my daughter and my son. After seeing the pictures of Sharon's wedding there was no doubt who would photograph Rob's. You captured the moments so beautifully that we continue to feel the almost magical moments of the weddings each time we view the pictures. The only "drawback" is that it is almost impossible to choose which ones to put into the albums.

Thank you for all the help in planning the weddings! You were literally a wedding planner and were instrumental in the choice of many of the decisions made for both large and small things such as DJ's, florists, wedding favors, etc., etc., etc. This was especially helpful with Sharon's wedding because you often mentioned details to me that I had never even thought of, and your were able to tell me where to go for many items ranging from unity candles to bubbles to blow as the couple left the church. In addition, you helped coordinate the entire ceremony!

Another point I'd like to make: Two pictures I will always cherish is the "family portrait" done at each wedding. As you know, by the time our children marry families rarely gather except for weddings and funerals. How nice to have the entire family gathered and caught on film for such a happy event.

Finally, thank you for the lighthearted professionalism on the wedding days. Your approach to the wedding parties put everyone at ease and helped to erase the "wedding day jitters" and nervousness that is so often present. At both weddings the entire wedding party and both families were relaxed and able to enjoy the days - largely because of your approach to the event. If I had more children you would be the only photographer I would consider for wedding pictures. Wedding dates would have to be set based on your availability.

Thank you for such beautiful pictures.

Sincerely,

Emily Armstrong

Dear George,

Our sincerest thanks to you for the outstanding photography services you provided for the wedding of our daughter, Julie. Your professional knowledge and organizational skills were exceptional. We appreciated your clear presentation of the options and costs of wedding photography and your thoughtful manner of contacting "the bride" to discuss here preferences, giving her suggestions which would help make her wedding day less stressful. You clearly explained photo options to Julie and Steve, and gave both families clear directions regarding arrival times at the church. Taking photographs of the bride and groom prior to the service was very helpful - the bride, her attendants and parents were able to arrive at the church in a relaxed state of mind, having left the house at different times, giving each a little "breathing space" before the ceremony. We were also able to leave the church more quickly following the ceremony, arriving at the reception shortly after our guests.

Your patience, flexibility and sense of humor, combined comfortably with your professionalism, helped to keep the entire wedding party and our guests relaxed during both the ceremony and the reception. Thanks, too, for reminding us when it was the appropriate time to offer "toasts" to the bride and groom, and to cut the wedding cake.

The "proofs" were returned to us quickly, in an attractive, easy to enjoy format. We were given a generous amount of time in which to decide which photographs to include in the album and for family members. Since Julie and Steve live out-of-state, as do Steve's parents, we had ample tie to share the proofs, making the selection process easier. Thanks for allowing us to make a few changes within the photographic package to accommodate our needs more completely.

Working with you has been easy, affordable and enjoyable. We appreciate your professionalism and thoughtfulness providing outstanding photographic memories of the wedding of our daughter. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Mindy and Tom Hudson
