TESTIMONY

Dearest Dave,

We are truly speechless!!!! All the pictures along with the slideshow and the entire finished work is so professional, genuine and absolutely beautiful! Every captured emotion of joy, excitement, nostalgia and happiness is overwhelming. They couldn't have turned out better and this is exactly what we were looking and dreaming for. We have shared the slideshow with all our friends and family and not only have they been astonished with the pictures but each of them has felt all the emotions of that day. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH! We can't thank you enough, no words are enough and we are forever indebted for everything!

Besides your wonderful work, we absolutely loved having you back at home (Colombia) and it was such a pleasure sharing our biggest day with you. Thanks to this occasion we also had the opportunity to meet a very kind and genuine Dave who has now become a good friend. You also left many friends in Colombia! Hopefully you'll have the opportunity to go back soon to visit us again. And, of course, you already have a home here in New York City! Mi casa es tu casa, anytime!

We are so much looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Love,

Monica + Gabriel

Dave,

Just amazing! Your images capture the way we felt that day so perfectly. We feel that we got so much more than we had hoped for in how you approached our wedding day and how the finished product has come together. We love the way we got to see the emotions and interactions of all our community during the wedding and reception. It was such a pleasure to have you as part of our celebration. There is a room for you at our home in Adelaide if you ever travel 'Down Under'. You are always welcome. Thank you again for capturing the joy of our day.

Cheers,

Jen + Ross

Dave,

We can't thank you enough for your brilliant photography! What you've given us goes far beyond the limits of wedding photographer. You're a true professional, and how you were able to work with all those crazy light conditions and still give us amazing photos is beyond us! We are still beside ourselves every time we look at your priceless work!! And how perfect you were with all our guests! They still comment on how pleasant, composed and efficient you were during the whole event. We feel so unbelievably fortunate to have had you and your extraordinary talent and grace at our wedding.

Thank you a million times over,

Suzanne + Jeremiah

Dave,

What an amazing slideshow! I love how real the photos are and the photojournalistic point of view and sequence. Each photo really captures every one's true emotions and expressions. It was funny because Sarah is out of town so we had to get each other on the phone and do a countdown in order to start the slideshow at the same time so that our ah’s and oh’s would be in sync. Count on all our guests calling you when they or their friends and family have a wedding, as everyone was very impressed by your professionalism, work ethic, style and good spirit, and they hadn't even seen the photos yet! Your passion for photography really stands out.

Dave we hope to have the opportunity again for you to capture another special moment in our lives or our children's lives.

Thanks again and best regards,

Leo + Sarah

Dave,

I wanted to personally thank you for the amazing photographs you took of us, our family and friends. There is no way that I could ever properly convey to you how much your effort, talent and generosity mean to me and to us. What you have done is captured pictures of moments either we had the pleasure of enjoying and now can remember years from now, or you gave us a glimpse into what was going on when we were not looking or not present. I feel compelled to tell you that you also made my family extremely happy and "involved" in the whole process. You made them feel special and that is not an easy thing to do. Thank you.

That weekend surpassed any expectations I ever had and I thank you for capturing those moments I will always cherish.

I cannot wait to sit down with my new husband and select the photos we want. Thank you again. I will always be grateful to you.

Kristie

Incredible Dave,

Absolutely incredible. I have to head out to a meeting but wanted to thank you. I'm certain Kristie will be sending you a gushing email, but know that I truly and deeply appreciate this.

Expect to hear from all of our friends and families.

Scott

Hi Dave!

We LOVE the slideshow and the pictures! Your pictures definitely tell a story and capture some of the most intimate moments that we sometimes take for granted or miss in everyday routine. From Lindy's feet and the gold shoes to me struggling with my tie, you have a great eye for composition and I want to thank you for taking pictures for us. Some of my favorite shots were the ones that you captured on the dance floor... how did you do that??

Again, your pictures were awesome and I'm very happy that we chose you to be our photographer! (I wish you could have seen our expressions as we were watching the slideshow).

Lindy + Jay

Dave,

I can't believe you take these beautiful, amazing photos of our wedding and I haven't even thanked you yet! My apologies, Dave, I wish I had a good excuse for not telling you sooner, but you truly rock and I love the photos. Thank you so much for coming to the wedding and being our photographer and just taking some freakin' awesome shots. I actually got a little teary-eyed the first time I watched the slide show. And the second and third time, too.

I've had many people tell me how cool they thought you were and how excited they all were to see your photos. And everyone who's seen them has raved.

Thank you so much for everything, Dave. It was really wonderful having you there and I just can't believe how amazing the photos turned out. Not that I doubted you at all! I just didn't expect them to be so perfect - that just seemed impossible. But you really captured our wedding - we look so happy and everyone looks like they're having such a good time! And the portraits, wow. You do have a gift.

Thanks again,

Jen

Hey Dave,

Awesome, awesome work! You nailed it, man. Thanks so much for shooting our wedding... we had fun with you there and the photos are fantastic.

Max

Dave,

Great job! We love the photos! The pictures are so dynamic and well framed. You did a fantastic job capturing people's personalities. Appreciate the photojournalistic aspect of your photography. We especially liked the shot of us dancing with our parents looking on -- everyone in the frame. Nice!!

Honestly, you did an awesome job! It truly was a pleasure to have you photograph our wedding. You're very personable and can easily get along with everyone. In fact, my family and our bridal party thought you were a longtime friend because of the way you interacted with everyone. Thanks again!

Hopefully our wedding won't be the last time we'll see you. We'd love to hang out sometime.

Grace + Dave

Dave,

I'll definitely write you more soon, but wanted to make sure that I write to say "I LOVE THE PHOTOS."

I was thrilled to have you there, and even more appreciative of the fact that you figured out how to capture all the various relationships quite nicely in the photos. And yes, there is definitely a special bond for me (and for Ken) with my nieces and nephews. I have to say one of my absolute favorite series of shots (although I could say this for a number of different images) is the sequence when Ken is feeding me the cake and the kids are looking on. What great photos.

Again, more soon... But you can already see which I have stuck in the “favorites” folder. It was a first pass review with Ken, and we only had a little time, so I'm sure we’ll go back and both refine plus add more, but those were the ones that caught our eye right out of the gates.

Best,

Ellen + Ken

Hey Dave,

These are fantastic!!!! You've managed to keep me from doing a lick of work today!

Everyone LOVES the wedding photos - we've all been staring at the slideshow you did over and over and over again!

Everyone here is REALLY impressed - everyone's only seen cheesy wedding photos before and were just blown away by these. These are all people who make commercials too, so they have pretty high standards!

I think "unobtrusive" was a word that came out of my Mom's mouth to describe you the very next day! So far the only comments I got from the guests (other than how great the pictures are) were that you were really working, really capturing every moment, not letting anything fall through the cracks... I think even Jack (who drove us) was impressed you actually came in the car with us. He drives all his friends for their weddings in that car (!) and I think you're the first to come along.

Are you going to post any of my pictures on your website? You should!

We LOVE the photos!!!!!!!

Best,

Lauren + Joe

Hi Dave,

I found the whole material really incredible.

I'm so happy Dave to have choosen you, great photographer.

I look incredibly beautiful and Giacomo as well.

Thanks for all,

Valentina + Giacomo

Dave,

Ha, well Derek wakes me up at 12:30 am last night all excited that the wedding slideshow was up. I love the montage! It is awesome! Thank you for putting that together. Makes me all sentimental and teary eyed. Aw (tear).

Michelle

Dave,

I just finished watching it and it's beautiful! I love the music you chose - it's perfect!

Dave, you are truly an artist!!

Thanks so much!
