Client Accolades

Here's a small selection of unsolicited client accolades.
More available upon request.


Hey, Jay!

I just want to say how much we appreciate the fabulous job you did photographing our wedding. We had a most daunting task selecting which photos (out of over 250) to order - we would have loved to order all of them! Really...it was so difficult to choose - they were all beautiful! We love that you were able to capture the joy and magic of the day so vividly.

We've assembled the photos in the album (which is also stunning, by the way), and are so happy with how the photos visually tell the story of everything as it unfolded. Another point I want to mention, is how amazed I am at the way you were able to capture these images, yet you always seemed to blend into the background. I never once felt distracted, or even realized the majority of the time, when you were taking photos.

What's more, you're a great guy too! It's that much better when you can laugh and feel relaxed around your photographer. After all, aside from maybe her mom, a bride is with the photographer more than pretty much anyone else on her wedding day!

My husband and I, being musicians, have performed at MANY weddings - we've been around countless photographers - yet neither one of us had the slightest idea of how to choose one when we started our wedding planning.

We knew the style we wanted, but not much beyond that. I can honestly say we feel extremely lucky that we chose you, and would recommend you to others in a minute!

Again - thank you, thank you, thank you! We'll treasure our photos always.

Cheers,

Nicole Vigil (and Josh Workman)

To Whom It May Concern:

To summarize Jay's photography into a simple yet strong word is "perfection". Perfection meaning his art captures that exact expression you are hoping to capture....photojournalism at its finest and a professional nature where everyone knew his name by the end of the night. To us, the pictures at our wedding were extremely important. We put our trust in Jay and he exceeded ALL expectations.

Jay you are so awesome!! I love the proofs. Now I have to start emailing them to everyone I know. Duff isn't even home so he has not seen them, but once we have a chance to look at them together we will get an order in to you. Thanks again--I am so glad you are our photographer!

Hi Jay,

Just had a chance to take a brief look at Kelly and Oliviers wedding photos. Saved some to look at when I had a chance to look a little closer. Know its my daughters wedding and I might be just a little prejudiced, but I thought they looked terrific - its going to be hard to choose. I want them all. However, I didn't see the one where you were dancing with Kelly - thought that was going to be a good one.

Oh yes, since I can't seem to loose weight on my own, would love to be skinner in all the pictures, but then I'd have to be 10 feet tall - what a trade off.

Thanks for your efforts, as far as I am concerned I think you did a great job.

Hey Jay,

Lichelle and I have just taken a glance at the photos.
They're great. Now we begin the tough job of
choosing which ones we would want to enlarge for
displaying at the wedding. I see us ordering almost
all of the images.

We'll be in touch soon.

Thanks,
Ed


Hi Jay.

We received our engagement photo's in the mail and love them.
Thanks!
Look forward to seeing you on our big day, it will be fun.
Erin


Jay,

I LOVE the pics! They are fantastic! Thank you so much for making us look so good!

Thanks!
Dana



Hi Jay,

Just wanted to follow up and let you how much we all love the fantastic photos you took of Stephanie's Bat Mitzvah. All my friends and relatives who have also gone on line to view the photos have showered us (and you) with compliments on the great photos. It was a pleasure to work with you and all the kids enjoyed you and the photo shoot sessions. Thanks again! Please reserve April 8th, 2006 for Dan's Bar Mitzvah. I'll be passing your business card onto the temple as a reference for other people needing a photographer too.

Best Regards, Lewis, Kristin, Stephanie, and Daniel Salzman


Jay,

WOW. I have been looking at these all day. I love them.

I have a question for you. If I promote these to my wedding party and generate a lot of revenue for you, could we arrange a discount on my white glove book? Say, for every $1,000 I could get 100 towards the book? I am trying to think of something creative because we are really tight on money since Bill is not working. Just trying to think of some possibilities.

I am simply amazed with the pictures.

Thanks,
Heather



Jay,

How are you? We love the pictures you took!! Just have a few questions
about the pictures and the contract.

If we are to order a couple pictures now, how long does it take to
get them from you.

Thanks for your time! Once again, it was a very pleasure working with you.

Take care, Lyn =)



Hi Jay

Just wanted to let you know that I am REALLY happy with the pics. Erin and I are in the process of getting moved into a new apartment at the moment but will view them together soon and place an order.

We had a blast with you for this session. I'm sure that the wedding is going to be great also!

Thanks a bunch!

Grant
