Testimonials

Hi Colleen & Gary,

Everything at the Commodore was AMAZING!  Michael thinks it was the best meal we had while in Key West and I'd have to agree with him.  They were so nice and accommodating...it was the perfect end to a perfect day.

And thanks to you and Gary for all you did to make our wedding spectacular.  It really felt like we were the only two people on the beach and that made our wedding all the more intimate.  Gary's photographs are beyond what I could have hoped for and we've received so many compliments.  More than one person has said they were the most beautiful beach wedding photos they've ever seen.

Also, thank you for bringing a chair to the beach.  It was a small thing that made all the difference for my mother.

Thanks again!  Renee

Colleen,

 

We received the disc with the photos. They are FANTASTIC!! Chris & I wanted to thank you & Gary for everything you did to make our wedding day special. You were both so wonderful to work with and we really appreciate you helping us make it happen despite the weather. So many people have commented on how beautiful the photos are with the rainbow in the background and I love the pics from before we sailed and the one with Chris standing by the mast and me in the background. That one is definitely getting framed :)

One of my coworkers wants to do something special for her 20th anniversary next year and I've promised to pass on your card to her.

Thank you again, and when we visit Key West again, we'll touch base to say hello.

Thanks

Wendy & Chris

Thanks, Colleen and Gary!

We got the CD today, and it the pictures are sooooo beautiful. I can't believe how pretty I look! Something every bride wants to be able to say of her wedding pictures. The pics of the family and the kids are so fabulous. They will surely grace our walls and hearts for many years to come. We want to make sure to spread the word about how wonderful you guys are...are there any wedding review sites that you would like us to specifically target?

 

Thanks again, for making our special day so easy and wonderful, and for making our memories last a lifetime with such beautiful photographs.

 

Susan and John

Dear Colleen,

 

    We can't tell how wonderful it was working with you  and your husband Gary.   Even before we received the photos we were discussing how beautiful the ceremony was.  You did a wonderful job and your words were sincere and heartfelt.  Then we got the cd in the mail and have to admit we were blown away!  Gary's pictures were fabulous!  Each one elicited more "ooohh's" and "aaaahhh's" than the last!  We briefly entertained the idea of John returning to the world of male modeling but then the nightmares came back...oh, the nightmares.  All kidding aside, you made our wedding easy and simple and that's exactly what we wanted.  In addition, your husband took great pictures which really captured what we were feeling.  Everyone has remarked on how much "happiness" we exude in the pictures.  Thank you for capturing that.  And thank you for being so understanding when people showed up.  You quickly made it a non-issue and we appreciate that.  Lastly, we just wanted to say that we definitely see ourselves returning to Key West in the not-too-distant future and would love to contact you when we get there and touch base again.  You both seem like wonderful people.

 

Gratefully and sincerely,  

 

John and RobinJo

Dear Colleen and Gary,

 The Disc arrived yesterday and although Chris is on nightshift this week he downloaded the photo's before he went to work as we were so excited and couldn’t wait to see them.

 Gary - the photos are both wonderful & stunning and brought tears to both of our eyes once again.  We have now ordered the prints and the album to put them in and cant wait to show everyone what a wonderful time our vow renewal was. 

 Many thanks to both of you and of course to Bruce and John for helping to make our 25th Anniversary so special and for giving us such wonderful memories both in the fantastic photo's and memories of the day.

 Thank You Both So Very Much.

 Very best wishes,

 Maria & Chris

Thank you Colleen and Gary,

    It was a lovely and beautiful wedding, we both loved it and got in the car saying "that was really fun", who gets to say that of their wedding and photo shoot!  Thanks to you and your husband, much appreciated!!

 Mike and Denise

Hi Colleen and Gary,

 Chandler and I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you for all your help with our wedding on Saturday.   I can't believe how lucky we got with both of you, since we just happened upon your website on the internet!!! I was so happy with how everything turned out - the ceremony was perfect, the flowers were gorgeous and the boat more than exceeded our expectations.

 Also, please let Gary know that I really appreciate how calm and relaxed he was - it seems like that is not always the case with photographers and I really don't think Chan could have handled a "crazy photographer" given that he was already emotional :)

 Thanks again for everything and if you ever need  a client reference, we'd be more than happy to provide one!!!

 All our best,

Meg and Chandler

Hello, Colleen and Gary!   We love our pictures!  We have looked at them over and over again and even Mike's gotten a bit teary eyed.   Thank you for sharing our special day with us.  And Gary- there are two Maestros in our book....you and Barry White!!!   Those pictures really captured everything that we are about.  We could not have asked for a more beautiful day!   We will call you guys next time we are down in Key West!

Thanks again.

Mike and Anna

Hello Colleen & Gary,

    We received our wedding pictures today.  They are just beautiful and I can't stop smiling.  We certainly enjoyed the rest of our time in Key West.  From beginning to end it was wonderful.  Joe surprised me with rose petals adorned along our jacuzzi with champagne and assorted fruit.  That Thursday was my birthday and he took me to breakfast, shopping,  and when we returned to our room I was surprised with balloons and then the concierge knocked on the door with a birthday cake.  I was just tickled pink.

    Thank you for all of your support and recommendations.  You were a key part in bringing our wedding together as we actually were supposed to be married in Aruba but Joe's passport didn't come in time and I was just frantic thinking everything had to be canceled as we had hotel reservations, a venue reserved and deposits paid.    Thinking fast on our feet, we started looking into Las Vegas, but I wouldn't be able to have that intimate beach wedding I wanted and specifically brought the dress for so that was out.  So we thought of Key West.  We looked on line at several businesses and that's when Joe called you.  You were friendly and knowledgeable providing us with all we needed and most of all you were available to perform the ceremony!  I am forever grateful and would without hesitation recommend you and Gary to anyone.  And just one more thing, I wanted to thank Gary for being able to use all three songs on our DVD slideshow.  Just perfect!  Every time I look at them I just want to cry all over again.  Tears of joy of course  :-)

    May you have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year. 

Love,

    Jackie & Joe

Hi Colleen!  We received the disk and the pictures look great!  We also received the marriage certificate so I believe all is set…thank you both so much for everything!!  The ceremony was beautiful and even better than we anticipated. Thank you again for making our wedding an amazing event ~ everyone thought the ceremony was lovely!!

 Best Regards,

Hi Gary, We got the CD... thank you so much for sending it so quickly! The pictures are great we absolutely LOVE them!  Our honeymoon was really great! We ate too much, drank too much and soaked up too much sun and enjoyed every minute of it. The resort we stayed at was very impressive and the location was perfect! It's highly recommended!

Thank you again for making our day a memorable one!!! See you soon I am sure!

Becky

Hello Colleen,

   We received the cd. Thank you to you and your husband for making our day so special. Your gentle nature during the ceremony was just what we were looking for. The pictures are beautiful. My Mom’s favorite is the one of us jumping at the water’s edge. Our time in the Keys was spectacular. Oh, Colleen I am looking through the pictures again. They are so good. Please tell Gary thank you from us. It was nice meeting you. If you are ever in Durango please look us up.

  Cheryl

Colleen and Gary:

   We wanted to email you and thank you guys for a wonderful and memorable wedding. You all made us not feel alone and were so down to earth and friendly. We were very comfortable with you and it made everything that much easier for us. The ceremony was very sweet and simple. We are so pleased with our pictures. They are absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends have all said how wonderful they are and some even say they look like they came out of a magazine. You all really work hard to get the perfect shots. The pictures are proof of that. Gary you do amazing work.

   We appreciate all of your help in answering our questions and for helping make our dream wedding perfect.   If anyone ever wants a destination wedding, we will certainly recommend you.  Take care and keep up the wonderful work.

 Jayne and Jeff

Colleen,

  Just viewed pictures on the website. Tell Gary he did a great job on taking the pics and you on picking them. Thanks for everything. We leave here for Islamorada tomorrow. (So Sad) Everything was wonderful....My brother and sister-in-law even commented on what a great job you two  did.

Thanks again, later, Steve and Bonnie

Colleen,

 We received the CD and the pictures are wonderful, our favorite is the one with the setting sun.  Please give out thanks to Gary.  Thank you for your help with the wedding, everything was wonderful and we couldn't ask for better weather that day.  A&B was very good and the rest of the week was nice but got a little chilly.

 Thanks, Suzy

Thank you again!!

Raven

Hi Colleen and Gary,

 I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you! We have been straight out with work and have not had an opportunity to check our emails at home. Camille's was perfect. Great atmosphere for our group and excellent food. All eight of us were extremely happy and sometimes it's tough to make everyone happy at the same time. We were also treated with a gift from Denise, a print of Camille's restaurant, b/c of you making our reservation. A nice memento!

 We also received our CD of pictures and couldn't be more happy. You and Gary were wonderful, professional, clearly experienced and everything that we had hoped for. Would never have been the wedding of our dreams had it not been for the two of you.

 Thank you so much for everything you did to make our day so special. You will forever be an important piece of our memories! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Gary and a wish for continued success. You're the best,

Sincerely,

Jessica and Bill

Hi Colleen,

Brian and I received our pictures today...what a surprise!  We weren't expecting them so soon.  Thank you so much for all your help...tell Gary great job on the pictures.  It's going to be hard to pick a favorite....so many great shots!

Thanks again.

Shonda

Hi Colleen,

 Just wanted to let you know we got our photos and love them. Thanks so much to you and Gary once again. We are currently putting them in a Blurb photo album so we have a hard back wedding album!

 Thanks again

 Lynne

Hi Colleen and Gary,

  We received the pictures today and were very pleased with them.  They really captured the excitement and happiness that we both felt that day.  We want to thank you both for making our wedding day so very special.  We wish you the best.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you ever need a reference.

Take care...

    George & Stacey

Colleen and Gary,

    We are absolutely so happy with how smooth the wedding took place. It was everything we wanted and the pictures were fabulous..everyone has oohed and aahhed over them!  Thank you so much for how accommodating our date changes were and we are very pleased with everything!

    Melissa and Anthony

Colleen,

 The CD came!  They are simply perfect - amazing - wonderful!  Thank you to both you and your husband for the entire experience.  Also, please thank your husband for the bonus bird pic - I LOVE it!

 Kelly's was great - I had made reservations and they knew we were a "wedding party" so they sort of treated us like royalty- champagne toast and all.  Of course, it not being crowded helped, I imagine.  Honestly, the seafood we got at Kelly's was the best of anywhere the entire week - and fairly moderately priced compared to what we spent elsewhere for "less fancy". I'd highly recommend them.

 ~Lynette~

Colleen,

  We received the photo CD today.   Thank  you so much for everything, the pictures are beautiful and everyone loves them.   The rest of trip was great and we have decided to return to Key West for our 5th anniversary.   We are actually planning on relocating there within the next year and a half if not sooner.  We will definitely keep in touch.

Thank you again for everything!

Mike & DiAnne

Hi Colleen and Gary !

 We received the photo cd and are extremely pleased.  Larry was also impressed with Gary's professionalism and even liked the pics of himself ! Brunch was wonderful and we are going to make the Roof Top "our place" when we go back. Thanks so much for all your help and recommendations.  It was a whirlwind weekend but you helped to make it a treasured memory for us.

Warm regards,

Peg and Larry

Hi Colleen and Gary,

Kim and I wanted to let you know how special you both made us feel during our wedding. Your help was amazing and we are extremely happy with Gary's pictures (all family members/friends also feel they are great). The enthusiasm and caring that both you and Gary exhibited, confirmed to the both of us that we made the right choice in asking you to perform the ceremony and Gary taking the wedding pictures. Very few things in life go as planned with a 100% success rate, but our marriage with your planning and guidance is one of those rare moments that did.

Regards

Kim and Ray
