There are no words for the amazing photographs you took of us. Your photos
are magnificent; you truly captured our joy & all the wonderful feelings, family & friends
that surrounded us for our wedding. Being in the wedding business in Tahoe I see weddings
every week, see photographers every week - you are simply the best I’ve ever worked
with. You relished & understood the simple, intimate idea we had for our ceremony;
you are incredibly easy to get along with yet stunningly professional. What a joy to have
met & worked with you, what a privilege to have such pure talent record our wedding.
All our Best,
Jeff & Rhonda

Thank you so much for being our wedding photographer. We got your first set of sample
photos and we can't believe how beautiful they are! We both consider ourselves to be
unphotogenic people and can't believe how you were able to transform us on film. We are
looking forward to getting the rest of our photos.
Love,
David and Nikki

you last winter and also that we had the chance to do the engagement session first...it
really made working with you at the wedding so easy. We are certain that your great
start and exciting success upon turning pro in the last few years is definitely a testament
to your talent and ability to work with subjects, and we are convinced that this is
just the beginning for you. We have come to think of you as our "personal photographer" of
sorts, and we look forward to the future as Cindy and I build our lives together with
the many photos to come.

March 2003, Erik Laimon - Visitor (find the complete entry in the
guest book)
"I view your fotos and they thrill me with the meticulous waiting,
the timing, the moment captured when the finger itches and the time isn't
right and you keep on waiting until the universe explodes directly in front
of your lens and you finally press the trigger and capture that most magical
moment. The most amazing thing is that you do this time after time and
I admire your persistence, your dedication and wonder about your family
life? ... I sincerely tip my hat to you, and after having seen your foto
on your site, I am intrigued for I have not ever seen Eyes like
yours which look into the heavens of Earth and Person."
