Weddings

Hey Sandra! It was great seeing you yesterday and going through pictures!

I just wanted to really express to you how much both Eric and I love the pictures. I can speak for us both when I say, you totally captured the essence of the day. With pictures like this we will always be able to relive and rekindle some amazing memories and moments!

You and your husband make a great and at times hilarious team. The way your were able to tell a story with your photographs, not just of us but especially of our friends and family. It was truly a magical day and now we have magical pictures to prove it!

My only regret…that I didn’t hire you for our rehearsal dinner:)
Thank you so much for your attention to detail, up beat personality and obvious care and love for what you do!”

Best Wishes, Jennifer and Eric Johnson

“Hi Sandra, Jonathan and I got back from our honeymoon late last night, and I wanted to let you know that the pictures were here when we got back. They are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for all your work. What amazed me the most was that you and your husband were SO discrete…I had no idea you’d taken half those pictures. They are truly amazing Once again, thank you VERY VERY VERY much!”

Sandra & Peter,
I was going to send a card, but realized that I no longer have your address. It is so nice to see AJ, Eli, and Laurel on your website, that is one of our favorite pictures from our wedding (I know it is one the Saliman’s enjoy too).
A year has passed, and I just wanted to let you both know how   grateful we are to have had you as our wedding photographers. The memories that you captured on film are truly priceless, and we treasure them.
Most recently, we felt blessed to have a picture of Joey’s Grandma Helen looking so happy at the ceremony and reception, it was shared at her memorial service this past weekend.

Thank you so much for helping to capture such beautiful memories, know that we are thankful to have them everyday.

Fondly,Megan (& Joey too)
P.S. We hope that your new muchkins arrived happy and healthy this spring. and that the animals aren’t too jealous. :)
—Megan & Joey Reibel

Pregnancy

“I just wanted to take a few minutes before my new life with baby becomes a reality to thank you for the beautiful photographs capturing my pregnancy. As a fellow professional photographer, I was certainly choosy about whom I selected to work with—wanting someone who I felt comfortable working with and whose work I admired. I could not have made a better choice in hiring you to capture this special time in my life. You made my husband and I feel so comfortable in your presence that the photographs truly capture who we are, and how we feel about becoming parents. I am not used to being “the subject,” but you put me at ease, and both my husband and I truly enjoyed the experience. While I’ve never been thrilled with my body before, I love my pregnant body after seeing it through your photographs! It’s beautiful! Thank you for giving us such an incredible memento of this amazing journey we’ve been on.We’ll always treasure these photographs. All the best.”
—Teddi Yaeger

“Sandra! What a great job on the pictures! Virgil and I were so happy with them. Thanks so much for making us feel comfortable. I am really impressed with the work you did. And we really appreciated your input on which photos you thought looked best! I’ve already recommended you to a couple of girls at work. I can’t wait to show them off to our friends. Thanks again for everything. I’m glad I did it!”
—Theresa and Virgil

“We really enjoyed the experience of the photo shoot. You made both of us feel very comfortable and the session was quite intimate. After you left, we decided that even if we didn’t order any of the photos, the experience was worth while as it enabled us to reflect on the pregnancy and our relationship. Thank you again.”
—Tina O.

Mrs Coan, I’m writting from Canada, from Quebec more precisely, and I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how I was touched by your pictures. I surfed on your site, and saw all these precious pieces of art.  You are so talented! Your pictures are showing the soul of the people, the splendor and the fragility of the moment. Please, keep up your good work. Thank you for your contribution to the world, thank you for the beauty you brought into my life today.
Sincerely, Alexandre Pinel

“Sandra, this has been a truly wonderful and profound experience. After all, how often are you like this in your life? You made us both feel very comfortable and relaxed. We couldn’t be happier with the results—they’re gorgeous!”
—Kimberly and Brad
