“You have been amazing to work with and we will recommend you to everyone we know! We couldn’t be happier with the turn out of the album and the pictures! THANK you so much for the extras…that was so sweet. I keep looking at the pictures over and over. I’m really tickled with how well the pictures turned out of Matt. You also captured all the events to where I can remember each detail. I loved the pictures of my grandparents dancing. I will treasure all of these memories through your photographs forever! Thank you again so much. We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know.”

Lauren’s Bridal Portraits
I wanted to share with you some of Lauren’s Bridal Portrait photographs from her recent session in Raleigh, NC. We headed to two meaningful locations to Lauren – Peace College {where she is attending school} and Pullen Park {where she works for a summer camp program}. Lauren looked great and we lucked out with a nice day. I can’t wait for her wedding just about a week away!
Lauren choose the color version of this image for a Wrapped Canvas.

Here is another image that Lauren choose for a Wrapped Canvas.

{Raves} Thank you note
My job is not just a job. I make it my priority to make each and every client feel special. I try to provide the couple with tips and tricks to help their wedding day go smoothly. I am constantly thinking of new ways to go above and beyond their expectations for their wedding photographer. For each wedding I am full heartedly doing all that I can to make the couples wedding day experience perfect.
I always appreciate receiving thank you notes from clients. It helps me to know what stood out most in their mind about the experience. Here is one I received from Heather and Andrew. They have always been so sweet. I remember Heather bringing a little thank you treat for me after her Bridal Portraits – a yummy cupcake. So thoughtful! I really enjoyed working with them and I hope I get to be their photographer again in the future.
“Dear Maranda, Andrew and I can’t thank you enough for doing such a great job with our wedding photography. We appreciate the added personal touches such as the cool gift bags and keep sake boxes, the framed photo of us, the book layouts, personal deliveries and most importantly, your patience. We really enjoyed working with you and won’t forget how you made the whole wedding photography process seem so smooth and easy and turned it into such a positive experience for us. Thank you for a job well done! ~ Sincerely, Heather and Andrew”
