December 5, 2007 - Thank you so much for being a calming and reassuring presence on our wedding day. We were confident we were in good hands with you and were happy to have you there with us as we began our married life. I hope things didn't get too crazy for you with the folk dancers, all my cousins and the general merrymaking! :)
Amy Gatto - Columbus, Ohio

November 30, 2007 - Michael, I received the package today and the album is FABULOUS!!! I love it. Thank you also for all the extra goodies, just in time for Christmas gifts : ) I will be sure to let everyone know what a great photographer you are. Happy Holidays.

October 10, 2007 - Hi Michael, Doral was WONDERFUL!!! It was so fun to work with him ... very calming, accommodating, flexible, not to mention talented! Our families and guests were very complimentary of Doral and his work as well! We had no idea he was there at different times throughout the day, but yet after seeing the photos, he was all over the place! :)
Katy Thompson - Columbus, Ohio

October 1, 2007 - INCREDIBLE!!!! They are absolutely incredible! Michael you are truly gifted. As we have shared our albums with friends and loved ones I can't express how the pictures and your talent stir all of those wonderful feelings from that day....the love, the excitement, the anticipation....I feel them all over again. Countless people have asked where we found you. And, I can't help but to beam with pride at the work you have done and know there's no one here in Rochester that could come close to duplicating it! There are a few things that I would change about our wedding day, but certainly the decision to have you capture that day is NOT one of them! Please know how much we absolutely love our albums, the pictures, and how you conduct your business. Thank-you for everything! And, I look forward to seeing you again in the future to capture our babies, too! =) Sincerest thanks!
Tricia Palmer - Rochester, New York

August 8, 2007 - Michael, I don't know how to put it into words...You managed to make the whole day look exactly as I remember it: dreamy and whimsical. I'm even more impressed you were able to make use of the relatively awful lighting that day and make the photos look luscious and rich. It is indeed going to be hard to go through and narrow down, but I can safely say that it will be an enjoyable experience and I'm really looking forward to it!

Thank you, AGAIN, so much for all of your hard work on the day of - you were able to capture those unseen moments that most people probably didn't get a chance to see, along with photos that captured images of things even I didn't get to see myself! Truly wonderful! I can't wait to take a real hard look at all the photos!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Oh, and I like the new site! I'm sure I'll have questions about next steps, etc. I'll wait until we get the proof book before I start even thinking about an album, but for now, I'm just SO grateful!! Thanks again!!!
Lindsay & Justin Teller, Columbus, Ohio

August 8, 2007 - Hi Michael! I have had a busy weekend so I only got to view the pictures quickly last night but I wanted to drop you a quick line to say I loved them! You definately captured our wedding day beautifully. I am looking forward to putting the album together soon! Thanks for all your hard work.
Megan Ballinger, Prospect, Ohio

June 7, 2007 - Michael, I still can't believe how beautiful the albums turned out! I love them so much and still couldnt' have imagined using any other photographer but you! Again, thanks a million and I wish you the best of luck and fun in the busy 2007 Wedding season!
Irini Girgis Boeder, New York, NY

Maureen and Tom Keating - Huntington Beach, CA

May 8, 2007 - Michael, I want to say thank you for all the absolutely beautiful pictures you shot for our wedding. We couldn't have been happier. Everyone that saw them loved them too! I have been telling anyone who's getting married in Columbus to look you up. I really can't explain how much we loved your work. I still get teary-eyed when I look at the photos. They truly bring me back to that day. So, THANK YOU!
Elizabeth (Ellerbrock) Fritz - Columbus, Ohio

April 30, 2007 - Michael, Craig and I just wanted to thank you so much for your wonderful job with our wedding pictures. They are better than we could have ever imagined! We love your ability to capture an emotion; there were many on that day. Your creativity is also something we really appreciate, and Craig and I have enjoyed discussing how you created the images you did and the wonderful photographer's eye you posses.

One of my personal favorites is of my brother playing piano. Chris' piano playing is such a special memory in our family, and I feel that you really caught his love and talent for music in that image. I think the rain and chilly weather added to the beautiful visuals of the day and you certainly took advantage of it. Thank you also for including us on your blog! That is exciting! We look forward too to seeing you in June! Thank you so much for helping Craig and I preserve the memories of our day!
Beth and Craig Rusnak - Columbus, Ohio

April 10, 2007 - Michael, We have been enjoying looking at the photos and sharing them with friends and family.You did exactly what I had hoped for: you captured the emotions of the day and the essence of those involved. Thank you! Looking at your photos brings back the feelings from our wedding day....perfectly! Thanks for everything. I am excited about having these pictures for years to come!
Melissa Harley - Cincinnati, Ohio

March 19, 2007 - Aloha Michael! I just wanted to email you before we leave and tell you how much we LOVED working with you this weekend!!! We had such a great time and absolutely LOVED the slideshow....it was a great sneak preview to our pics:) You do such amazing work. I can't even tell you how many compliments we've already received on how great our pics from the slideshow were. We can't wait to see them all in a few weeks! Maria was awesome too.

John and Sarah Haas - Columbus, Ohio

March 8, 2007 - Michael, Hello! I hope you are doing well. We have been loving showing off our fabulous album! Mouths just drop open and I secretly think all my other girlfriends who are married are jealous of our album!!
Amanda Zook - Dublin, Ohio

February 12, 2007 - Michael, the pictures are amazing! To the people we have shown them to they have all said how great they are. It was really neat to see detail on the stage because I was so focused on Shane...I didn't really get a chance to see what was going on around me. Thank you so much!
Hannah Sylvester - Oklahoma City, OK

January 25, 2007 - Mr Barber- I received the album and am so pleased- it is exciting to see the pictures together in the beautiful finished product. The quality is outstanding! Thank you so much!
Irma Heiser, Mother of the Bride - Columbus, Ohio

January 2, 2007 - Thank you so much, Michael! The book is really beautiful! I knew that I would be impressed by your work, but this book is a really cool, unique way to remember our little guy. It totally exceeded my expectations and I'll always love looking at it. What a great addition to our bookshelves! I'm sure that Eli will treasure it as he grows older.

Thank-you so much for being so easy to work with and for doing such a great job! Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!!!
Tricia Palmer - Columbus, Ohio

December 3, 2006 - Michael, We wanted to thank you for such a great job on our wedding photos and books! Samantha and I saw them last night and were amazed at how great they looked. Thank you for such a great job and we look forward to working with you again.
Shawn and Samantha Colley - Columbus, Ohio

November 27, 2006 - Hi Michael, I wanted to first tell you that the album is absolutely AWESOME!!!!!! I can't even count on my fingers how many times I've looked at it. Some may call me obsessed. :) The way you captured our day is so special to me and I really can't express my gratitude for that.
Christina and John Muirhead-Gould - Columbus, Ohio

November 15, 2006 - Michael, you are amazing! We were so glad to have you there with us. The proofs are GREAT!!! James and I just spent the last 30 minutes pouring over them and what a great way to end the last night of our "mini-honeymoon". James and I also finally agree that we are a good looking couple, largely due to how great your shots make us look :-) Thanks again, and we will definitely be in touch soon!
Jennifer and James Feuerbacher - Columbus, Ohio

September 19, 2006 - Michael, I was so excited to see the email from you! The pictures are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We love them and I think that it definitely paints the picture of the perfect day that it was! Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with our pictures!
Stephanie and Jeff Keenan - Columbus, Ohio

September 9, 2006 - The pictures are lovely! We look like we belong in the photo frames you would buy from the store! You did such a great job capturing every moment of our special day! I know you hear this a lot, but.....we look like celebrities! We've gotten so many compliments on the advertisement (upcoming for Franklin Park Conservatory). Everyone loves how you captured me glowing in the warm embrace of my husband. Absolutely gorgeous! I look at them everyday and notice something new and beautiful every time! I say to myself "That Michael......." and smile! Thanks you so much and God Bless!
Andree' and Mansfield Brooker III - Columbus, Ohio

August 31, 2006 - Unbelieveable!! I'm already loving the photos and cannot wait to pick my favorites for an album. There are so many amazing photos that I don't even know what we would pick! It's funny to have looked at each page of your website weekly and finally see myself on it! I didn't know what to expect but I did know that our photos would be beautiful (even dispite all of the tears!) I guess that is what a 2 year long distance relationship and me moving across the world will do. They are spectacular and we will
cherish these forever.

Thank you for everything and for spending your birthday with us... people still tell me they can't believe you were there and it was your birthday but we really appreciate it!
Emily Rasch - Dayton, Ohio

July 1, 2006 - Michael, you truly are amazing!!! I've never seen such wonderful photos in all of my life. John and I have looked at these everyday since we received your email that they were available online. We can't believe this is us, you have made us out to look like celebrities. And we are so honored to be on the front page of your web-site. We received so many comments from people including, "your photographer is awesome." People were amazed how they didn't even know you were there. John and I feel that we have made a great friendship with you during this process. We hope we have not been too much of a pain with requests, you have been so kind to us through all of it.

We hope that if God blesses us with children in a few years you will photograph our family so we can continue our relationship with you. Thank you Michael for making our wedding memories so special. It will be a day we will never forget because you have captured the moments in a beautiful storytelling event!
Christina & John Muirhead Gould - Columbus, Ohio

June 29, 2006 - Michael, Hello! I am Amy, Mark’s sister, and I just wanted to tell you that the pictures you took are the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen!! I wish you were around eight years ago to take my wedding pictures. You do a beautiful job. Mark and Lori are blessed to have found you. My son is the little red head in the wedding and I’m so pleased with some of the shots you got of him. Thank you for adding to the day.
Amy Braunsdorf-Oliva - Sister of the Groom

June 19, 2006 - Michael, Where do we begin the thanks? After meeting with 7 photographers, we found you. We knew our wedding photos would be beautiful, but these are absolutely amazing. And thank God for the rain! We have received so many compliments on the outdoor photos! My mother kept saying, "These look like they came out of a magazine"! We are so incredibly happy with them...I want to look at them every day! Thank you so much. Our wedding memories have been turned into gorgeous pictures.
Kristin & Ryan Chenault - Chicago, IL

June 16, 2006 - Mike, I just got off the phone with Kendra. She called to let me know that the photos were available on line, and that she was looking at them. She was literally breathless. After looking at them, I can see why. As mentioned in your blog about their wedding, the venue was absolutely beautiful. I've attended many events there and never seen anything that approached it. It occurred to me that there was no way a photographer could capture how fabulous it looked. I was wrong.

Every woman should look her most beautiful on her wedding day, and Kendra certainly did. As beautiful as she was in person, you made her look even more beautiful in the photographs. Thank you for providing this remarkable visual record of what was a truly remarkable wedding event.
Tim Kraft (Father of the Bride) - Canton, Ohio

June 15, 2006 - Michael, I have only been able to skim some of the pictures, since I'm at work, but I am just blown away. They are amazing... it will be so hard to narrow them down! I AM SO EXCITED! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! - A very happy bride :)
Kendra Kraft - Canton, Ohio

June 3, 2006 - Michael, Thank YOU so much for working with us and for producing some truly amazing work! We absolutely love our photographs, and I think it'll be difficult for us to choose just a few "must haves" for our album! : ) We're also flattered that you selected our wedding to showcase in your blog, and we're swiftly passing along the link to friends and family. What a nice extra! Thanks again, Michael!
Doug Rupert, Amy Lott - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

May 24, 2006 - We just got back from the honeymoon and were so excited to see the email from you! We are so excited to see all of the pictures! We had so much fun and we hope you did too. Everyone commented on how you seemed to be capturing everything that was going on. The shots look great! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks again,
Kristin Haight - Columbus, Ohio

May 17, 2006 - Michael, Thank you so much for all of your excellent work. It was a thrill to see the wedding album you put together, as well as the 480 pictures you took over the weekend. They are fantastic pictures and we are so lucky to have them. Thank you again. We love being part of your blog and you’ve chosen some beautiful pictures of Alexis as your cover girl. I am planning on making one of them my screensaver for my laptop.

Feel free to use your wonderful shots of her in any way you like. You’ve captured her beauty like never before and I imagine most brides-to-be would flock to you by looking at how you photographed her and our entire wedding. All the best,
Rev Johnson - San Francisco, California

May 3, 2006 - WOW!!! The package was at my desk this morning. I couldn't get it opened fast enough. As I turned the pages I got goose bumps on my arms!! The book is spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking on the challenge of the 80 page book.
Alissa Barton and Ozan Yakali - Marysville, Ohio

May 2, 2006 - Hi Michael! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures! The ones are your website are amazing! I can't tell you how happy Pat and I are that you were able capture our special day. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for everything.
Porscha Baggott and Patrick Rennick - Columbus, Ohio

May 3, 2006 - Michael, Wow! We received our album today and it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Truly a work of art. We really didn't want an obtrusive photographer, and didn't plan our wedding based on what would make the best photographs. You really captured what the day was all about - each photo really does tell a story, and I love looking at the album and remembering what a special day it was. Thank you for documenting it for us. It was wonderful working with you.
Heather Ballengee and Adam Davidoff - Granville, Ohio

April 26, 2006 - Hi Mike, We just wanted to tell you again how much we love the wedding album. Everyone who looks at it says, "I wish we'd hired him for our wedding!" The photos are absolutely beautiful. You captured all the little things--the small details that we want to always remember--all the quirky moments like my sister's toast and the kids romping on the dance floor. The photos seem alive, not static like so many other wedding photos we've seen. We can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you did.
Ken Cleaver and Karen Sottosanti - Pickerington, OH

April 24, 2006 - Dear Michael, Thank you sooooo much for all the beautiful photos. Your work and talents are truly amazing. The memories of Alissa and Ozan's wedding just wouldn't be the same without you.
RITA BARTON - Columbus, Ohio (Mother of the Bride)

Feb 26, 2006 - Michael, I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks. We just recieved the wedding album in the mail yesterday, and the quality is even better than we had anticipated. The layout, the quality of the cover, and the pages is top notch. Thank you for capturing our wedding so beautifully. Best of Luck to you.
KATIE & NICK COAKLEY - Columbus, Ohio

I don't think I ever took the time to thank you for the wonderful job you did our main wedding album--and the parents' albums as well. I would use the word "breathtaking", but that would be too easy...our main album was unbelievably beautiful and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The way you arranged everything was absolutely perfect--again, too easy, but I can't think of anything else to say.

Usually with wedding stuff I don't like to "force" it on people and be the guy that says "wanna see my wedding album?" to everyone, but with the work that you've done, it's hard not to...everyone we've shown it to is just blown away. Thank you...for everything...we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture this memory for us.
JEFF STURM, -Columbus, Ohio

Michael, Thank you so much for the wonderful wedding album!  It arrived the middle of last week with no troubles at all. The pictures and album turned out better than we had imagined. Thank you for your continued efforts on our behalf!
ANDREW FRASCO, JESSICA PORTER - Cincinnati, Ohio

Our wedding day was perfect and we were so lucky to have you there to help capture the details and special moments throughout the day. We heard so many compliments throughout the day on how accommodating and friendly you were. Thanks for making the process easy and painless.

We were so excited to see your email upon our return. There are so many great photos, I can't wait to go through them again and again. it is going to be an interesting process trying to to determine what photos to include in our album.
MELISSA YEAGER, JIM BENEDICT - Cincinnati, Ohio

Michael - We are so happy with our decision to have you as our photographer. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. A friend from work who wasn't at the wedding said she feels like she was there because how well our story was told through your pictures. You captured all the emotions of the day!  We have heard many comments from our friends and family with how impressed they were with you. You were everywhere yet we didn't even notice you were there. We can't wait to get our CD and proof book.
TIFFANY JOHNSON, SCOTT ZAGORSKI, Columbus, Ohio

Michael, We got the album on Saturday, it's AWESOME!!!!  It's even better than we thought it would be, we are so happy with it!  It was worth the wait!  My mom was in town and so she also had a chance to look at it, and was very impressed. Thank you SO much for such a wonderful album that we can cherish for years to come!  
NICOLE MOWERY, Columbus, Ohio

Hello Michael, I just wanted to let you know we received our album and of course, we love it! The quality of the album, pictures and workmanship is superb!  We are headed home this weekend for the Easter holiday and can't wait to show it off to our familes.  We are especially looking forward to giving our parents their albums as we are sure they will be just as pleased as we were with our album! Great job and thanks again,
ELIZABETH MILLER, Columbus, Ohio


Oh my gosh!!! The photos are INCREDIBLE!!!! I LOVE THEM!!! You are truly a talented photographer Michael. I am so thrilled with your work. My co-worker Molly even cried when she saw some of the photos.
JOANNA LANE, Columbus, Ohio

Dear Michael, I can't express enough my sincere appreciation of you as a photographer and person. My gut was right when choosing you as my daughter Jessica and son-in-law Joe's wedding photographer. Besides the photos being beautiful, you made the day more special by your exceptional people skills, low-key approach and enthusiasm as a photographer.
THERESA LENNON (Mother of the Bride), Columbus, Ohio


Dearest Michael, What can we say? We are so glad to have had the honor of your amazing photojournalistic vision at our wedding. Your intuition and eye for detail is extraordinary. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE!) who has seen the photos comments on the excellence of the photography. Most of those people are in L.A.... so, of course, we mention that you do travel! We both feel as though we’ve met a kindred with a similar aesthetic and eye for beauty that we share. We hope that we can maintain a relationship. It was so refreshing to find someone in Ohio that we could fully trust with what we felt was the most important detail of our wedding and, of course, you came through for us. Thank you for your vision, talent and your sensitivity.
JONATHAN JEDEIKIN, CHARITY BABCOCK, Los Angeles, CA

Michael, I realized after I emailed everyone I know the link to our website to show them how fabulous the photos are that I neglected to email you!! Thank you so much!!!! I can't believe the proofs look so good. I can't imagine what the finished product will look like. Everyone was so impressed with you the day of the wedding. Somehow, you were everywhere, but never in the way. I love that the pictures tell the story of the day...after all, isn't that what it is all about. You have done my husband and I a tremendous service. From the bottom of
our hearts -Thank you!! Blessings,
JESSICA SUTTON-STEVENSON, Westerville, OH

Hi Michael, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your work & creativity and the ease I had with you at our ceremony and reception last week. I don't admit fears, but my biggets is having my photo taken --you are marvelous at keeping it real, making everything be natural and as-is, and the wedding truly blossomed with you a part of it. I really appreciated you being there.
KATE FETTE, Cambridge, MA

Michael, I can't express how thankful I am that you were such an important part of our wedding day! Chance and I are so excited to see your work and are overjoyed that you've posted photos to your web site already!  It was a perfect touch for us to share with family, friends and co-workers who could not be with us on Saturday. We're looking forward to hearing from you! If you need anything, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. With warm regards and sincere gratitude,
ERIN STEWART, CHANCE SPALDING, Pittsburgh, PA

Michael, Thank you so much for all you did for Erin and Chance.  What a great idea to have immediate pictures displayed with the computer!  Everyone loved it.
KENNETH STEWART (Father of the Bride), Columbus, Ohio

Michael, These are the best pictures of a wedding I have ever seen. I want to thank you so much. You captured every action, emotion and all the love from my family and friends. Thank you sooooo much I love these pictures and some people all ready are asking for you business card. Thank you so much.
CHRISTINA KELLY-LITTELTON, Cincinnati, Ohio

Michael - We love, love, love our pictures!!!!!!  I can't believe you were able to get the proofs to us so fast.  We are so happy with all that you have done for us during this whole wedding experience.  We don't know how we are going to do it, but we are trying to go through and pick out our favorites for the album! Thank you sooo much again and I will definately be in touch!!!!
LORI WALLS, Columbus, Ohio

Hi Michael - Just wanted to let you know we love our wedding photos! Everyone who has seen them has raved about them. We'll send you our order shortly---as soon as we can narrow our selections. You were a pleasure to work with. We will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of a photographer.
LORI THORNTON - BERKHEIMER, Columbus, Ohio

Michael - You were so wonderful to work with. We really felt relaxed knowing you were there. We got a ton of compliments from people about you too! We really want to thank you for all your hard work for us. We will recommend you to everyone we know!!
MICHELE JESSEL - DYE, Columbus, Ohio

Hi Michael- We received our wedding album last week and it is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for creating such a unique book that captures every part of our day. We have been showing our book to friends and family, all who comment that the album is perfect. We are so glad to have worked with you. Thanks again for everything! Best Regards,
CATHY ALLENDORF - LANNING - Columbus Ohio

Dear Mr. Barber: We just got the proof book and the CD's and we are just AMAZED. The pictures are so beautiful, and we can't believe you got them to us so quickly! At first my parents were skeptical about the need for a photographer, but your professionalism during the wedding and the photos themselves have really won them over. All of us are just so excited about your work. We have looked through the photos about five times so far, and 24 hours haven't even gone by. Thanks again for accomodating our unique arrangement and again, the photos are absolutely beautiful and we wish you a lot of success and we will definitely recommend you to our friends.
ANDREA HERBST - PAUL, Columbus, Ohio

Michael - We received the book last week and it is wonderful!! We LOVE it! Thank you
so much for all of the time and effort that you put into our books. You have been THE BEST to work with. Thank you again for everything!!!
JENNIFER WUEBKER - TIPPETT, Arkansas

Now that the dust has settled, I have been meaning to thank you for the beautiful work you did for our wedding!  It was extremely hard to pick out 50 pictures from the 900 or so that you took due to the wonderful storytelling you did of our crazy day.  It was a the best day of our lives and  we can relive it again and again every time I look at our pictures.  Thank you for your kindness, hard work, and patience!
DONNA FEDERSPIEL - TURNOCK, Columbus, Ohio

Michael - It's Jennifer Hogan. The wedding photos are awesome! I can't believe that you took roughly 890 pictures!!!!! That's crazy! But I love them so much, they look beautiful and they capture the moment...my sister said it was a flip book of our wedding...no need for video with the exception of sound! :) We're so happy that we were able to get you to photograph our wedding. You have a great talent and creativity, and obviously love sharing your virtues with the rest of us to set up lifetime memories.
JENNIFER HOGAN, Columbus, Ohio

Michael - You are an amazing artist! You captured the essence of the happiest day of Erin's life! And the best part is that you did it without ever being noticed! As we enjoy the pictures over and over (and moreso the story they tell), we ask each other when did Michael take this picture? None of us know because you are a remarkable professional.

You are so much more than a photographer....you are a story-teller and an incredibly kind, funny, easy-going person who is absolutely passionate about the work of capturing the special moments of life. We can never thank you enough for allowing us to keep Erin and Jim's special day alive in our memories.
MARY BETH and LARRY BORCHERDING (parents) Columbus, Ohio

Christine and I both felt from the very beginning, our best decision for our wedding was the opportunity to have you as our photographer. You not only were the most easy going, friendly, and professional photographer I have been around you also allowed everyone to enjoy the day but at the same time you delivered every picture we would want or have desired. Thank you!!!!
-MATT HARSH, Columbus, Ohio

Michael! We are so excited about our pictures. I could not have asked for more beautiful wedding photos. You were always in the right place at the right time and the pictures really tell the story of our big day from beginning to end capturing all the emotion as well as family and friends that helped shape it. The photos will allow us to remember and share our wedding, and all the fun, laughs, silly stories, and surprises that went along with it for years to come!! You were a huge part in making such a special occasion in our lives so memorable and it was a pleasure working with you!!!! We are so lucky to have found you and thanks again for everything!!!
-ACOYIA JONES GROVES, Columbus, Ohio

Michael, Throughout the entire wedding planning process you have been so easy to work with and so accommodating with all of our special requests. During the ceremony and reception you managed to work around the craziness of the day to capture simply stunning shots!  More than just pictures of our wedding day, you collected the emotions, the love, and the fun that surrounded us that day. Our photo album will allow us to relive that once-in-a-lifetime day time and time again. We were so lucky to have found such a gifted photographer with such a kind heart. Thank you for everything!
-AMANDA KALINICH KEIFFER, Columbus, Ohio

Mr. Barber, Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day such a wonderful and meaningful event. We felt so blessed that you agreed to take pictures for our wedding, particularly on such short notice. Over and over again we were impressed by your level of professionalism. You helped eliminate stress and worry. Thank you. We wish you all the best and continued success.
-ANGELA and SCOTT GULDIN, Washington D.C.

My name is Jenn Agnew and I was the maid of honor at Krista Cogar and Joel LeMasters' wedding, Nov. 23. I just wanted to write and let you know how great the pictures look. My boyfriend and I are literally blown away by how beautiful they are, and we think that 9 out of 10 are 'framers'. I am going to forward the site to my friends (and anyone I know getting married, for that matter!) that got your info at Krista's wedding. They look so beautiful!

The pictures are great (you did an amazing job)!! I especially liked the pictures of all the different people at the reception. We are going to go ahead and forward these on to our families so I imagine quite a few of us will be ordering reprints. Thanks again for everything. You were an integral part of our wedding and really helped make our day special!

"Thank you again for the awesome job you did at our wedding. We were very impressed by your photography skill as well as your great interaction. Your "hands-off" approach was excellent. Geri and I both commented on how much we appreciated your professional communication style and your ability to blend into the crowd - so nobody felt they were being photographed."
- PERRIN PEACOCK, Houston, Texas

"We thank you for photographing our wedding and reception. You were terrific to work with and we appreciate that. You were professional, ever-present, yet unobtrusive. We look forward to seeing our proofs. Thanks again!"

"When Nate and I were planning the wedding, a friend advised us to be mindful of photos, since after all's said and done, they're the only real mementos. Your photos are as beautiful as I remember our wedding day being, and I thank you for that."
- JENNY MULLIN YOUNG, Columbus, Ohio

"Thanks so very much for doing a fantastic job on our wedding! Everybody in my/his family were saying how nice you were, and I can't agree with them more. Having you there was definitely one of the best decisions I made for the event!"
