Joel and I both wanted to tell you how much we appreciate the pictures of all of the guests as individuals or couples. There were a lot of aspects of the wedding day that we each missed, being separated, and it was lovely going through the photos and telling each other the stories about our day before the ceremony. I personally am so excited to have multiple pictures of my dad actually smiling I don’t know what to say! You did a wonderful job; our families have asked me multiple times how you managed to be in so many places at once and capture all of these moments 😉 Thank you so very much!”
