“You got both my husband and son to smile. I want you to take all of our family photos.”
“You caught so many moments at our wedding that we didn’t even know happened. You caught so much that we unfortunately didn’t get from our primary photographer. We both prefer your photos over our other photographer’s. You did an amazing job and went way above and beyond. Thank you sooo much!”
