Mary Sylvia: Thank you. No, seriously. As we said in our reception speech, you world class photographers flew all the way around the world to take a chance on us gingers, shooting this wedding on a whim, putting in the travel hours, and on top of all that did such an amazing job. Our heart goes out to you for your generosity of spirit and your creative energy on the day. We had guest after guest tell us how much fun you and Daniel were and how lucky we were, not to mention the constant refrain: "Where did you find those guys!? They’re so choice!" Best of all, you put so much of yourselves into taking these photos, and your passion really shows. Sorry for such a long comment; it doesn't seem to matter how many words we use, we don't think we can articulate how grateful we both are to have had you guys as a part of the day and have these photos to help us remember what we gave to each other for the rest of our lives. Thank you soooo much Fer. Sam & Mary. March 7, 2011 7:39 am
