Dear Jim and Beth,

I just wanted to let you know the album is absolutely stunning.  Jim’s mom gave it an “11” on a scale from 1-10.  We went down to Long Island to visit family over the weekend and my entire extended family got to see it as well.  Everyone was super impressed at the work you and Beth did.  They said it is a true work of art.

Hi Jim!

We LOVE our pictures I have to tell you, I work with another recently married bride and she was complaining that she only has one photo that she likes, I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I have about 800 pictures that I love!

I can’t say thank you enough for the gorgeous photos you took at our wedding. We are in awe of our photos. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. Your talent and passion shined. I can’t thank you enough!

Erica and Tim, Canfield Casino, Saratoga Springs, September 4, 2009
