"We are still going through these, and need to pick the 10 and figure out how-when to meet, but before all that we just wanted to send you an email to say: INCREDIBLE JOB!

"We wanted to send you one last thank you for all of the work you did for us. You really went out of your way to put in the extra time and effort to make sure that we got all of the shots we wanted, and it shows. The photos are amazing and exactly what we had hoped for. Aside from the photos, I also wanted to thank you for dealing with our many requests with ease. You handled our initial scheduling snafus, multiple shooting locations, group photo requests, and everything else with a professionalism that I found rare throughout this wedding process, and we cannot thank you enough for that. All the best, Craig I just wanted to add that the entire process was really fun for us. Especially on the day of the reception, when things are normally hectic and chaotic, you made us feel relaxed...more "
