Claire & Sam
Married October 10th, 2009
"I know you are on your way to a fun (and educational :) family vacation...but I just had to tell you again how truly grateful we are for your beautiful work. As artists, we are just floored by your and Eric's combined attention to detail...more " and your ability to capture what we believe no other photographer would have been able to: us. As a newly married couple, we will never be able to thank you for giving us the ability to remember our wedding day just like it was. I knew from the moment we met you that we were on the same wavelength and it really showed in your work! Side note: I love how you found our first dance song and some how managed to get 86 pictures into it!!! That video really is the perfect example of why we got married. It is warm, fun, quirky, and beautiful. So, LATE last night (after we watched it about 900 times) Sam and I emailed it to 6 people (Moms and sisters) and I have somehow received 20 something responses to that email this morning. I just wanted to share with you some of the things other people who are not us have said about your work: My mother called me crying at 7am : "That woman was seriously a blessing Claire. She has given you two the greatest gift you could ever have been given and she helped us get the orange juice out!" Karen (Sam's Mom): OMG .... CLAIRE, I absolutely LOVE the video. The photos all turned out so awesome, and with the music, it totally captured the beauty and joy of the event. I can hardly wait to see the rest. Annie (Maid of Honor): I was not expecting this at all. I haven't ever seen wedding pictures that look like this. They look like magazine pictures. How did they do that? I am so glad there are pictures of the orange juice drama!!! The whole thing is just perfect! Joe Feldman (our "Rev"): SISTER!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG Those pictures are AMAZING!!! My favorite one is...ok that is a lie. I have watched this thing 30 times and I keep switching my favorite. They are just too wonderful! Nora (my sister): That woman is a magician like she belongs in Hogwarts. OH AND I totally love how I don't look completely wasted in these!!! WHOOT! But seriously I have watched this thing on repeat like 400 times. Is that creepy? Maggie (my close friend who missed it): I feel like I was there. Can you please thank this photographer for me, please?! I can't get over how Claire and Sam that video was! Oh, I am so glad these aren't cheesy wedding pictures like I usually see...that would have been more depressing than the fact I missed it. Taylor (the teenage junior bridesmaid): It doesn't even really look that cold. How did she do that? Safe travels to you and your family." show less

"You have completely outdone yourself. Our expectations have been met and exceeded! We are so thrilled with every single photo. The more we look through them, the more it seems like you and Eric were able to capture every delicate moment and every tiny detail. We are so grateful...more " for the memories you have helped us preserve! Your professionalism as well as your demeanor and poise on the hectic wedding day were greatly appreciated. Kevin and I both felt like we were being photographed by a close friend. In addition, we never expected that you would go out of your way to take us out the day after our rainy wedding. The commitment to your clients’ happiness is so evident, and we will never forget that! Thanks for the memories!" show less
