For People Photography:

Thank you for the many joys you have brought to my life. Looking at our wedding truly makes me happy! I know you and James are so truly talented and we had the best for our wedding.”

On seeing the first draft of their wedding book: ““Gosh!!!! I am crying and smiling at the same time!! I am so happy and pleased!!! You did a great job!!!!!!!!”

            -- Bobbi LaFargue, Altadena, CA

“Without you we would have been lost. It’s beyond just taking a few pictures. You two are a great team that have such creative eyes: nothing goes by missed. We appreciate  your directions [ when required ] and dedication to our wedding, which was really a great excuse for a family reunion of sorts on both sides of our families. We enjoyed every minute of our company, family, and friends. Thank you!”

            -- Shell and Royce Johnson, Lake Tahoe, CA

“ The photos were stunning and exciting to watch (they practically came alive for me). I am very pleased with the results!! “

            -- John Robinson, writer of “Birding for Everyone”, Fairfield, CA    

“ This is our third project with you. It is the most magical use of color and style so far. You have captured all of the facets of surprise and wonder as our family rallies around bubbles, baseball and the Cal Bears. Thank you for transforming our anniversary into a treasured memory.  We are really loving our album. Thanks to you both. ”

            -- Carol and Mike Maguire, Mill Valley, CA

“ I just want to let you know we received the well wrapped wedding album yesterday and we’re very happy. It’s very beautiful and well made. Thank you for giving us a beautiful display of our special day to keep forever. It is very much appreciated. It is a beautiful ending of the ‘wedding experience’ and we are thankful and will cherish it always. “

            -- Erica and Ryan Loya, San Francisco, CA

“ We just wanted to write to say we came home this afternoon and found a package on our doorstep. We had a feeling what it was. Thank you so much for the beautiful album!! We were expecting great things from  you guys from all the samples via email but to see the real thing -- it turned out 1000 times better than we ever imagined. All the layouts of the pages are just so beautiful and everything you added since our last proofing added so much more to it. Thank you very much for all your time and hard work and the genuine care you put into our book. Of everything we did at the wedding this was for sure the best use of our money! Thank you!

            -- Mark and Christy Monico, Fremont, CA

“Wow -- these are fantastic! I haven’t had time to look at every single one yet (there are so many) but I can tell you how happy we are with them. This is our third project with you, after the wedding, the family portrait, and now Dan’s 50th birthday party. Thank you so much.

            -- Kimberly and Dan O’Donnell, San Francisco, CA

“ Thanks for such a wonderful and fun engagement photo session last week. We appreciate you and James accommodating our schedule (since I returned to work in NY the next day) and for taking your time to get to know us . . . I was worried about the wind/weather, and yet, everything turned out so nicely. In general Glenn doesn’t like to take pictures, yet, we both felt so comfortable with both of you.”

“ What can we say . .  . you were wonderful to work with. You made our wedding day easy. James,  you were great with everyone -- getting both adults and kids to smile. Karala, your shots added artistic views that we loved. Your flexibility allowed us to design the album that suited us and our memories, physically representing them in a way that no one else offered. Thanks for everything.”

            -- Glenn and Tina Snyder, San Francisco, CA

“ I wanted to let you both know that we have decided to have you as our photographer for our wedding. We re very excited about this decision as we really explored everything that was out there and kept coming back to you guys. You offer such a wide array of services and have more creativity with the shots and the albums then most of them could offer if I combined them all together. Thank you and I look forward to working with the both of you to make this not only a special day but an event I will remember forever.”

“ I saw them... WOW they are so great and I don’t think that anything has to be removed. The day was perfect and you guys were fantastic  -- I did not even realize some of the photos that were taken were taken . . .  Many thanks. You and James are wonderful people to work with!”

            -- Jennifer and Bob Lazzarini, Walnut Creek, CA

“ Thank you for such a beautiful album of Joy and William’s wedding. The BOOK is absolutely wonderful and shows the talent of you and your husband. The layout is wonderful and captured the spirit of the day. I applaud your hard work. Thank you so much.”

            -- Billie Jackson, the proud Mom, Chico, CA

“ I just wanted to thank you for being at our wedding. We knew you two were the right ones to be our photographers. We hope you had a good time taking the photos as much as we did posing for them. We also keep getting comments and inquiries about the table cards you left on the tables at the reception. Everyone’s been saying they those cards were really cool.

            -- Rob and Kyoko Huey, Berkeley, CA

“Oh, the pictures look even better in print. The picture you took of my husband is the best taken in his entire life.”

            -- Renu Mevasse, San Francisco, CA

For Editorial Photography:

“ The best photo shoot I have ever been on! The pictures are wonderful -- so much to choose from.”

“ The images are GREAT!  With just a cursory look I already saw 2 that I love for the cover and a nice horizontal for the inside spread  -- good job (as usual). James and Karala, I love seeing my stories through your eyes.”

“ Again, you have made me cry. I love what you saw with your heart and captured with your camera. What a gift you have, and how grateful I am that you are sharing it with me and the nurses who read our magazine.”

            -- Candy Goulette, Northern CA Editor Nursing Magazine
