a few
comments The DVDs arrived the other day and they are great! I've gone through all of the color shots and will make my way through all the B&W today as it is snowing again! We laughed and said "that's a good one or oh that is really great" too many times to count as we looked at the photos. We may not have done all the traditional wedding things, but you captured us, our guests, and all the moments of the weekend. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Bride We'll never talk again because my feet will never
touch the ground! (note: I had told her to email me when they
got back from their honeymoon and her feet got "back on the ground".)
Later I asked if I could quote her. Bride Thank you! The pictures are beautiful. I though you did a wonderful job at the wedding. You were "behind the scenes" which I loved and you are very friendly and pleasant. Bride You were like a ghost! Nobody knew you were here! (then later) You have been marvelous, Dan, from beginning to end. Thank you thank you! Bride's mother, at the wedding.. Hi Dan...we got everything and it looks awsome! We sat and went through everything and we were soo happy with how the pictures turned out! Thank you! Dan, thank you again for being a part of our day! I cannot wait to see the book!! Bride Dan, thank you so verymuch for such a
professional job. Your pictures brought back many of the momerories of the day,
clouded as they were by emotions. Note from father of bride. I try every few minutes to keep looking at your work it is wonderful but might take all winter to really see it all! I cant wait to show Katharine and Rich! Many many thanks we will be in touch! Email from mother of bride. Dear Dan - words cannot express how beautiful your pictures are! I was absolutely blown away by how intimate and expressive they were. I don't know if my mom has already told you this, but if we didn't have your pictures I would have been absolutely devastated. The pictures from the other photographer simply didn't turn out well, and I have been counting my lucky stars that you were there. I would love to discuss with you the idea of a book, as mom said you could also do that. Thank you again for all your beautiful photographs- they are the best wedding present we have received yet! Email from bride. ( The "other photographer" was actually three photographers). Pictures were forwarded to Maui honeymoon location. I just had to write. Mom forwarded the photos of the weekend and what a wonderful job you have done. You have captured the love story of their wedding... It was just beautiful and You got it all..... You are so talented. Email from guest at wedding - viewed on-line gallery created for bride & groom. My mom sent over the disc with the photos you took at our wedding. We were blown away. Thanks so much . . . we were really looking for the documentary style . . . as opposed to the more traditional wedding photography style, and your photos capture that perfectly. Email from groom...wedding was on an island and the power went out...I shot in the dark! Dan, just looked at the videos...they are fabulous!!!!!...can't wait for em to see them...great job!!! Email from Mother of bride . . . after seeing a slide show set to music made from her daughter's wedding photos. The pictures are perfect! I have already chosen my favorites and I can't wait to get them printed. Those pictures really capture the essence of my children...just what I was looking for. Thank you again!!!! Email from mother about portraits of her two children. Wow! Email (one word) from mom who just received her sons portraits. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos! It was such a wonderful surprise amidst all the stress of wedding preparations. . . were so glad to have images like these to remind ourselves of whats truly important and to not get overwhelmed by the little things. Note from bride on receiving some surprise engagement photos. I couldn't wait - just finished looking at them
and . . . I LOVE THEM!! Now to
go home and watch the slide show more slowly with [her husband]...:-) You are awesome -
you saw things and captured things I didn't even know went on! You really focused on the
bride and groom which is perfect - I'll probably have to get prints made of 90% of them!
Didn't they look happy and like they were having the best time!! I think you captured the
feel of the weekend perfectly Dan! What am I going to do with all these pictures I love -
maybe paper a room - what do you think? It's going to be hard to choose - guess I'll have
to wait and see the book first. . . Email from Mother of groom I have to tell you that the enclosed check is some of the best money we spent on [their sons] wedding weekend. Not only were you a delightful, unobtrusive, easy and fun person to work with but you also gave us a beautiful way to preserve our happy memories forever. Your photography captured one of the happiest occasions of our lives. Your pictures are creative, comprehensive and beautifully done. We love the book and DVD and will always be grateful to you for the incredible job you did and the professional but comfortable (for us anyway) way you did it. Thank you so very much! Cook and I are totally happy with your work! Note from same Mother of the groom (same wedding) Dan, Outstanding photos. Your are truly an artist. Note from Father of bride (same wedding) Dan, The pictures were just great! Everything I thought they would be! It just relived the weekend for us! Thank you! Looking forward to the storybook. Email from Mother of bride (same wedding) Thank you so much for sending the info on Friday - I was able to access the pictures fine but I didn't have a chance to respond at the time. Of course, they're beautiful! You captured the entire day - including moments I'd otherwise have forgotten -- so perfectly. I really appreciate how much you put our guests at ease too. I can't wait to see the proof book and DVD! Email from Bride on seeing her on-line gallery. Dan, Just wanted to pass along that [his bride] and I really enjoyed meeting you, and we appreciated all you did during our wedding weekend. I must admit, we were a little uneasy about having a camera in our faces all weekend beforehand, but you made us feel very comfortable, and it ended up not bothering us at all. Thank you, and we're looking forward to seeing the pictures. Email from groom we had not met prior to wedding - his parents hired me. Dan - These photos are WONDERFUL! I have to admit,
when I was stressed out and headachey and overwhelmed by the construction noise I couldn't
imagine what you were possibly finding worth photographing. It all seemed so unattractive
to me at the moment. But wow, do you have an eye! I especially love the photos of
Greg installing with the light behind him - magic. And the photo of me with his arm in the
foreground is killer. Thank you SO much! I will definitely be using these on my website
(properly credited, of course).
Bride's mom - engagement shots Hi Dan, The kids got a chance to look at your work tonight and answered the offer with a resounding yes. Honestly, we just can't believe that it would be possible to get someone of your caliber. We are all so excited to work with you. I'll be away for the next couple of days, but I'll call you when I return. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bride's mom Who also said (on the phone): "I'd have a pot-luck instead of a caterer in order to afford you as our photographer!" Isn't that neat?
