Why I do what I do...
06/29/2008
Occasionally, I get a letter or e-mail from a client that just about floors me. My couple Kelley and Damain wrote the following about their photography from last Saturday. I had to share it.. Thank you both for taking the time to write this:
"You are probably wondering why it took me a solid 3 days to send you any correspondence about the photographs that are on the website. I am sure you know my daily ritual by now, of checking your site as soon as I have checked my email. The last three days have not been different in ritual, but they have been different in the fact that I am unable to locate the proper words of gratitude. It is a feat to bring us to speechlessness. I still do not think I have begun to uncover the language that expresses our complete feelings, but appreciation is due.
You are truly the most talented photographer with whom I have ever come in contact. To me there are many facets of a photographer- the fabulous pictures are supplementary to the feelings that are experienced and captured through each image. Love is such an important aspect of the bond that Damian and I have, and that feeling can be seen and felt by everyone that views the images. We feel you really captured our essence, as individuals and as a couple.Aside from the immense number of phone calls expressing what we already knew about your talent, I thought I would share some of the excerpts of e-mails from some of our friends and family.
"Those are literally some of the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen. I
love them! I can't wait to see the rest."
"Thanks for sharing the pictures. They look beautiful! I'm sure you
can't believe it's already happened, but it was a wonderful day and a
lovely wedding. In those few shots, it looks as if he already captured
the essence of the day."
"What a surprise to see pictures so soon after the big day! Thank you
for sharing them. They are amazing! I love the crispness and originality of his
shots."
"Your photographer was so professional, flexible, and responded to every
situation that presented itself. The pictures capture his talent and the
love you had for one another. "
"You and Damian looked so amazing and everyone can tell how in love you
both are with each other. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it.
Your pictures on the website are amazing. I have the picture of you and
dad as my screen saver. It looks like it should be in a bridal magazine.
I can't wait to see the other ones."
And the list goes on and on…
I can't begin to tell you how many people just can't get over what an amazing job you did. Everyone who sees your pictures says that they have ever seen a better photographer, nor have I.
Although we are sure you hear this from every client, but our wedding pictures were more beautiful than we ever could have hoped for. They will be a reminder to us for many years to come of the love that we built our marriage upon. From start to finish, we never had to worry that an important shot was going to be missed and we feel so blessed to be working with you.
Thank you for everything you did on our wedding day - especially for your flexibility and patience. You were there to capture every beautiful moment of our special day. You did everything we asked for and much more, and we can tell that from the 32 shots that have been made available thus far. The best part is that as the years go by some memories of the day will fade, but we will have your timeless photos to bring us back, and for that, thank you!"
Much appreciation,
Kelley Seitz (and Damian Seitz- in spirit)
