Here's an unsolicited email I got today from my last wedding client:
We just took a look at the photos and WE COULDN'T STOP!! Ed kept saying, "WOW!" and "THAT"S AMAZING!" and "OH, PERFECT!!" I don't know if I mentioned that his first job was as a photographer. After winning several awards for his commercial photos of his dad's mining ventures, he went to work at Moulin studios in SF, CA and has done everything from ads and Ice Follies to weddings and his own personal photography. I also like to shoot and Ed thinks enough of my work that he bought me a digital M8 last year. I did some photojournalism in my youth, but it was too stressful and I went back to the beach before ever starting a career... Anyway, we both think these are the best wedding photos we have ever seen, and we aren't just prejudiced towards the ones of us! We love the shots of the kids and the folks at the river and the music shots; everything is just beautiful!
Flickr set here.
That's a beautiful email.
The thing I love about these is how natural you make them look. There's nothing overwrought about them so they feel on the surface as though it was just a beautiful day and the family and friends were so happy and you just documented that.
Which is a neat trick, to make them look that simple. Especially considering that you were carrying two cameras with not small lenses.
