" Hi Dave...
Derrick and I have pretty much picked out our favorites [for the album].
However, that was no easy feat. There were so many excellent shots. You really captured the mood of our wedding. From the silly pictures of me and my sisters to the solemn moments at the ceremony--everything looked so good. Derrick and I were both blown away when we saw the first pictures on your website--when we saw the rest of them on Pictage we couldn't believe it. We barely saw you the whole night, yet you were everywhere.
I can't tell you how much it means to me to have those amazing pictures. As a broadcast journalist, I know first-hand how a picture really can tell a thousand words. Multiply a thousand words by roughly a thousand pictures and you've got the entire story of our wedding. Your photographs will be what we cherish for years to come...what we show our children and grandchildren. They are gorgeous reminders of our special day. I can't thank you enough!"

" WOW!!!
Dave, we checked out your website tonight and saw the handful of photos you posted. I can't find the words to describe the euphoria Matt and I felt when we saw them. You captured some wonderful moments (one's we will forever relive in your work). All of the photos are phenomenal! We couldn't be more pleased.
We can't wait to see the remaining 800 or so!!! :) WOW, that's a lot!! When Matt told me you took that many photos, I thought "Where were you--I never saw you the entire night!!"
You have an amazing gift. Thank you so much for traveling to Ohio and photographing our wedding.
We noticed on your website that you are booked solid through next year. We appreciate your attention to detail at our wedding, despite the fact that you are in high demand. It is obvious you tried, successfully, to make ours unique and special.
You are great!! We were so lucky to find you!
All the best to you and your family!"

Dear Dave,
Now that our lives have settled down, (only, almost a year after the wedding) John and I wanted to take the time to properly thank you for all your superlative work in photographing our wedding and in creating a wonderful album for us.
When I was searching for a photographer, I immediately recognized your excellent talent and creative ability to capture the natural moments that occur on such a special day. Your style of photojournalistic coverage was just what I was looking for. How pleased I was to also find you exceptionally easy to work with--patient, polite, available, organized & flexible.
John and I enjoyed every aspect of the photography process: before, during and after the wedding. Thank you for your care and attention. Your professionalism made all the difference, and as a result, we got just what we wanted - beautiful photos and a very special wedding album that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
It will be our pleasure to recommend you to friends and family. You can definitely depend on our enthusiastic endorsement to anyone interested in a top notch photographer.
Sincerely
Laura Horstman Laura and John (5/1/1999)

"Dave,
First of all, I wanted to let you know how much we truly LOVE our pictures. Everyone who sees them absolutely raves about how great they are and Jeff & I never get tired of looking at them! As a matter of fact, when we were on our honeymoon, I found a little room in the Aruba Hyatt with Internet access. I was able to see 'our page' just a few days after the wedding. That was such a treat!
As promised, the pictures really do tell the story of this incredibly important day. Thanks to you and Justin for capturing all of our special moments, friends and family in such a unique way."

"Thank you again for your wonderful coverage of our wedding. It was perfect! It was exactly the way we wanted it! Since we've returned from our honeymoon, we've already heard two horror stories of photographers who completely took over the wedding and were in everyone's face. Ugh! Thank you for being so present, yet invisible at the same time. You managed to capture the spirit of the day without capturing all of our time, too. And the pictures are gorgeous!"

"We just wanted to thank you for capturing a very special moment in our lives. All of the pictures are wonderful! You were so easy to work with, and you made Chris and I look terrific - not an easy task! We really appreciate all of the work you have put into this project. You are truly blessed with a special talent! I am very lucky that I was able to find you! Thanks again."

"Although I haven't seen all the pictures yet, as Father of the Bride, I want to commend you and thank you for a great job at my daughter's wedding in Berkeley. The few pictures I've seen are great...and we rarely knew you were there!! Thanks again for helping to make the day even more special.."

"We have gotten so many compliments on your work. We just can't give you enough praise for a job so well done!! So many of our friends have expressed an interest in using your services when (or if, in some cases:) their special day arrives, and we cannot find words to express to them how much you are worth. But I guess I ought not inflate your ego too much!"

"I am so grateful you agreed to travel so far and photograph Erin and Esteban's wedding. We really enjoyed meeting you and Vickie. So many people have commented on how wonderful the photos are, I wish you could hear all the compliments. I am trying to talk two of my friends who have kids getting married later this year to consider using your services. I am so pleased with the photos so far, you have somehow managed to capture the spirit of the people I love so much, and the special joy of this wedding will live forever - thanks to you. I was amazed at your flawless skill (how can someone be everywhere and invisible at the same time?). I'd like to gush on and on, but I just hope you know how much we will always treasure your incredible images of all our family and friends on this very special day."
