Clarina & Patrick
Married August 9th, 2008
"All we can say is thank you so much for the beautiful pictures, for your funny and warm personality, for promising and delivering and making all of it so easy. Hiring you was definitely the best decision we made (well other than getting married :). Everything with you was always clear, straightforward...more " honest – and in the whole process of planning a wedding, you were a breath of fresh air. On our wedding day, you kept us sane and calm when no one else could... We knew that pictures were so important to us from the beginning, so we spent considerable time researching and interviewing numerous photographers...we were so disappointed with what we found – even the super high-end photographers with the huge home theaters and bottled water had zero personality. We didn't want to be just another wedding they cranked out. Others were just plain weird. We didn't 'click' with anyone. And then we met you, Thor! You were so cool, personable and normal and made us feel like you would give us that personal, unique touch that would make us feel special. You, and Anastasia, are incredible photographers with true talent, dedication and passion. Thank you for having been such pleasure to work with from our first meeting, to our engagement photo session, to our wedding day, to helping us create our perfect album, to giving us the gift of incredible memories we will cherish always. You captured every single precious moment of our day – the sweet ones, the funny ones, the excitement, our friends and families and of course, our love. We have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend you to EVERYONE in need of professional photos! Thank you for everything you've given us. " show less
