As the father-of-the-bride, I had a unique perspective on choosing the photographer. I'm not just talking about the COST! For years, professional photography was my career goal, so I know a thing or two about good photography. We had seen Kathy working my nephew's wedding and were amazed at her results. She had such great energy and was able to move the process along in a fun, productive manner. But the proof is in the prints.

I interviewed numerous photographers for "my little girls" day. I was convinced we could find as good, and certainly cheaper photographer in the L.A. area. (Kathy was based out of San Diego at the time and the prospect of bringing her in for the weekend and putting her up made me nuts!) But after going round and round, we always kept comparing the prospective photographers to Kathy. I finally caved. And am SO glad I did!

She handled our day with the most professional care, dealing with last minute changes and adapting to our special requests. She and her assistant captured the magic of the day and we will treasure her work for years to come. My whole family owes her a debt of gratitude for sharing her gift and talent. I can only recommend her with the highest regard. Best money I spent that day (THERE'S the fiscal Dad showing up). -DC

 

Dear Kathy,
Where do I begin to thank you? Both Keith and I are so grateful and thankful for the wonderful way you documented our special day! We just got through looking at the pictures on the website and they brought tears to my eyes. You are truly talented and have such a special gift in catching the
emotion of the occasion.

We also thank you for your constant energy, upbeat personality and ability to organize chaos with a smile! You were such a joyous addition to our wedding experience.

Thank you again for being wonderful you. I was such a pleasure working with you and I will indeed spread the word. We'll have to keep in touch! I will talk with you soon.

Still with smiles,
Jennifer and Keith Henry

Dear Kathy,
I can't tell you what a joy it was to work with you........ Thank you again for all your positive energy & super people skills that make such a difference at any event - but especially at our (daughter's) wedding. We truly appreciate you as a wonderful person & photographer.

Love, Barb Whelan
 




Dear Kathy
Oh my God! How cool does that book look! I wanted to email you when I got them last week but I didn't have email access. People are flipping out over the photos, book concept, etc. You are so cool! Thank you , thank you once again. I know the photos will give us years of great memories. You are awesome.

Peace and happiness, Tiff

Hello Kathy,
We wanted to thank you for all you did at our wedding. We had a huge problem trying to find just the right photographer. We must have interviewed over 5 people in person & maybe 10 over the phone. The many we spoke to were either very arrogant & over priced or they weren't flexible at all in meeting w/ us. You were very accomodating in every aspect.

Thomas comes from a family of teachers & photographers. We were very worried that they would be critical of your every move.... Thankfully, every single one of them enjoyed your participation. Your presence was not abrupt, aggressive nor intrusive. You were very flexible & it was as if you were an old friend coming to help us celebrate this great day of ours. You blended in so well that we don't think anyone really thought you were our photographer. Out of the many preparations we had to do for our wedding, you were the only one we had no problems with. The pictures came out great, everything we expected them to be.

We hope you enjoyed yourself at our wedding as much as we enjoyed having you. We can't thank you enough. We hope to use you in future events & will most definitely recommend you to everyone we know. We are firm believers in referring great places & people.

Thank you again,
Rosanna & Thomas Gray
 

From the mother of the bride-

This is late.......................BUT, I needed you to know that the pictures you took for my daughter's engagement and wedding far exceeded my expectations. The money we spent (and if you remember markedly higher than anything we could have gotten in Salem, Oregon) was money well spent. Anyone who has seen her photos has remarked that they have "never" seen anything quite like it. Their Wedding Album is simply fabulous. Now, mom is ready to order some pictures....... Cheryl Gesner

From the groom, before booking the date-

Kathy,
I just wanted to touch base with you. Kelsey and I are still waiting on the go ahead from her parents, who are paying for the photography, to confirm with you. They asked us to get a few other quotes, and we sent those to them. So we are just waiting to confirm with you. But so you know where we are, as far as Kelsey and I are concerned, you are our only choice!

A compliment to you; in all of our planning, and with everyone that we have met with for anything regarding the wedding, no one has given us the confidence that you did when we met. You gave us both a feeling of professionalism, and the comfort of having a friend involved, someone who looks at us as more than just a business appointment. Thank you for that.

We should be able to get back to you today to finalize.

Have a great day!
Jason

Dear Kathy,
Well, you made my day as well as my entire family and friends. I have been getting phone calls and emails all day about how wonderful the photos are and what an amazing job the photographer did. Thank you so much for capturing all of our special moments. I'm even tearing as I write this message. You made the entire experience so happy and relaxed. I had many comments from friends and family that you were very pleasant to work with and always had a smile on your face. ;) I cannot thank you enough. I'm so happy that we will have these memories for the rest of our lives.

Talk soon,
