Hi Sarah and Dustin,

Thank you so much for the amazing work you did on our wedding and engagement photos. I could not be more pleased with the final product. Photography was a huge priority to both Kyle and me when we set out to plan our wedding. You were admittedly a little out of our price range, but we decided it was important enough to splurge and I have absolutely no regrets.

First let me apologize for not telling you sooner how much the wedding pictures meant to me. When you sent the slideshow and gallery I had to wait til Kyle got off work in California, which was no small chore. Since I am in Ithaca, NY now, between us both being busy and a three hour time difference, we don’t get to spend much time on the phone. But just as we did with the engagement pictures, we counted down from three, pushed the button and watched the slideshow together. I sobbed through the whole thing. The last month without him has been so hard. And you managed to capture that day in a way that was so beautiful and personal. I got to go back to all the little magical moments, to see the faces of all the people I miss so much and to remember the happiest day of my life. I cannot tell you how much it meant to watch that slideshow with Kyle, it was like we were together for just a few minutes. Those photos have been such a comfort to me, and while I wait for Kyle to join me I keep the “brag book” in my purse to look at when things get tough. I can’t wait to fill my house with images from that day.There are so many that I love.

My mom cried through the whole thing too, so its not just stressed out, lonely me. Everyone who has seen the pictures has loved them.

When we were hiring a photographer someone wise reminded me that I would be hanging out with that person all day on my wedding. That’s part of why we hired you. You were so much fun to have there, and your experience and incredible calm were so helpful. Even when I was frustrated with how things were going (which of course had nothing to do with you) you knew exactly what to say. The guys had a great time with Dustin. The two of you were a joy to have and I am so glad you were able to share our special day with us. I will never hire any other photographer. You will have my business for as long as you are in the business. You are a true professional and an amazing artist. I feel so lucky to have found you.

Thank you,
Halley
