Accolades    

     I wanted to thank you one last time for the beautiful work you did on our wedding pictures. The album turned out absolutely gorgeous. We are so proud to show our friends and family. 
     In fact last weekend my uncle Jim was in town and got to see my album. He has made his living photographing people all over the world for National Geographic and just published a book... called "Eye of the Beholder."
     He loved your work... and pointed out the beautiful backlighting in all of them. He said most photographers would have ended up with dark backgrounds. You must understand the photographer lingo better than I do, but all I know is that Scott and I are very happy with our treasure of wedding day pictures.
     Thank you again for all your hard work and care.

     Maaike and I knew at once that your work was exceptional. When we weighed the value of meaningful, beautiful photographs against the slightly higher cost, it wasn't hard to decide that your services were the one indulgence we would allow ourselves.
     Maaike and Tim's wedding was everything we dreamed: Lovely, meaningful, and intimate.
     David, your photographs truly captured the essence of my daughter's wedding. Your journalistic approach... really caught the sentiment, atmosphere and--most importantly--people. We look at your photographs now, and love remembering that day.

Barbara M. Joosse, Children's Author

 

     Cara and I can not even begin to tell you how happy we are that we had you for a photographer. Not only did the pictures turn out great, but you also did an outstanding job of capturing the many memorable moments of our day. We would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends. Thanks to you, or special day will never be forgotten.

Andy and Cara Moll

 

 

     The beauty, fun, and joy of the evening were truly captured in the photos. We have pictures of all of our guests talking, laughing, dancing, and having fun as well as more formal photos of our family and wedding party. I was particularly pleased with the amount of candids we have and how much they capture the feel of the evening.

Amy Karls

 

 

     We love the pictures!  Thanks again, David! You did a fabulous job and so many guests were very impressed with you.

Katie and Ryan Herringa

 

     We appreciated your energy, creativity, quiet demeanor, and hard work put in for us on a very hot day. We truly felt that we were in professional and capable hands. We look forward to seeing you again soon and know that the wedding photos will be wonderful!

Mary Meyer

 

     Thank you for your amazing work!  You even made the picture-taking fun. Professional, pleasant, fun, flexible, creative...  I could go on and on! Thank you for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Jen and Craig Hadley
