A Bride Says It Best

September 30, 2009

I wanted to share the following email I received from a client.  It says what I never seem able to articulate about what it is like to work with me.  The part about being “one of us” continues to brighten my spirits.  

Hi Amy,

I wanted to express to you how wonderful it has been to work with you. Honestly, I can’t imagine having a better experience with a photographer. We just felt so at ease with you. It was like having a friend taking our pictures instead of some hired stranger.

Our family felt the same way. Several people told us (unsolicited!) that they thought you were so great, so on top of things, so professional, so helpful and nice. And I couldn’t agree more. It just felt like you were ‘one of us’ – helping with the guys’ boutonnieres, relaying information between the guests under the tent and our waiting room right before the ceremony.

Overall, it was just a great experience working with you and we would recommend you to others without reservation.

Sincerely,
Joan and Jay

Rain? What Rain?

Everyone knows that they can’t control the weather.  On wedding days where there’s a threat of rain, brides and grooms are often glued to local radar maps and weather updates.  In those situations there’s always a lot of anxiety about whether or not a storm will spoil the day’s plans.  But for Margo and Sam there was no such waiting to see because for a full week we all knew that hurricane Danny’s rain would be coming down — hard — on us all day Saturday.  In a way it was almost easier to handle because it was a done deal.  There would be no hand wringing or what if’s because without a doubt we would be getting wet.  Margo and Sam and all of their guests took it in stride.  Umbrella were unfurled, plans were altered, and no one let it ruin the day.  

From the dress (lurve it!) to the locations to the folks involved, this wedding was amazing.   

Below you will find some of my favorite images from the day.  You can see the rest of the highlights in the slideshow.  Family and friends can see the entire gallery here (contact Margo or Sam for the Event Key).

Best wishes for a lifetime of joy and gratitude, Margo and Sam!  Thanks to you and your families for welcoming me so warmly.  I had a blast with you all!
