Raves and kind words
Mariann May 7th, 2007
Both wedding couples and portrait clients send me handwritten notes, e-mails and cards to thank me for the photos I took of them.
These mean so much to me! I really care for my clients and when they appreciate me and my work I find it very rewarding professionally and personally.
Here are some of the kind words I received over the years.
- Dear Mariann, Wow wow wow! What more can I say? Your talent defies description. The photos are stunningly poignant. You captured the spirit of the day perfectly. We feel so blessed you were a part of our day. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. A thousand thanks are not enough. You should feel very proud of the fact that you have created an enduring work which is now a part of our family history. We have already, and will continue, to praise you on the rooftops. Already we have friends who wish to work with you when they get married or have a baby in the future. We are sincerely happy to recommend you wholeheartedly. Bravo on a job well done! Warmly yours, Christine & Dan PS Feel free to use us as a reference. Also, we are very much interested in your continued success, so if you ever have a gallery showing or are featured somewhere, please let us know. We would love to check it out. We can’t get enough of your images! - Christine and Dan got married in Newport, Rhode Island in the fall of 2006.
- Dear Mariann, If only we could capture our Thanks in words the way you have captured our treasured wedding memories in photos! Eddie and I saw a preview on your blog and once again you’ve done awe-inspiring work. All Eddie could say was “I have no words” - one of his highest compliments- and as for myself, I cried! Looking at the pictures, I felt like I was right there at my wedding again. We couldn’t ask for anything better. We also had Eddie’s family in Brazil check out the blog. They loved your work- and if you weren’t before, now you are international! We hope you had a chance to relax and enjoy a little during the evening. It’s been such a pleasure working with you and since this was your second event with our family in such a short time we almost feel like you were a guest more than anything else. Sincerely, Andrea and Eddie - Andrea and Eddie got married in Westchester, New York in the fall of 2006.

I haven’t had the pleasure of Mariann doing my upcoming wedding in August but I can rest assured knowing she will be there on my day. Her work really needs no introduction nor does it need any explanations. She captures moments with such love, laughter and happiness, you can’t help but wonder where she got her amazing talent. Her amazing photo talents however does not exceed her personality. Mariann is about the most bubbly, patient and kind person I’ve met in a while. You know when you meet someone, you just know if they are genuine or not? Well by far she is. I’ve only met her but 3 times but you know someone the first time you meet them and she’s amazing. I look foward for my day to come when she can truly make me the happiest bride that day. Abby & Neil /August 2008.
