Alison and Justin welcomed me to their Raleigh wedding as if I were another one of their close friends. All in all, knowing that a couple trusts me wholeheartedly to photograph their wedding is huge. It has such a positive effect on what I do.

Although this year’s wedding season in Northern California was as busy as ever, I am really glad I could be a part of their Raleigh celebration. Their friends put on a party that bumped until the early hours of the morning, and The Dickens had me shaking my booty with the rest of them.

I Received the Most Awesome Email After This Raleigh Wedding

If all that weren’t enough, they sent me one of the best emails ever:

“Chris…You deserve the biggest THANK YOU and the biggest pat on the back. Not to mention the biggest hug and the biggest YOU’RE AWESOME award from the wedding. Seriously, words can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us. You were absolutely amazing and you worked your tail off! All of our guests think you are freakin’ awesome!’ You have no idea how much we appreciate you trying to capture every moment. The small, the big and the special.”

“So thank you – from the bottom of our hearts. You brought a sense of calmness to all the craziness. You made us relax. And more importantly you made us feel comfortable. Neither one of us are good at being the center of attention. But you eased us into it all – which is NOT easy. You definitely have a special gift. We’re so happy that we were able to share it with you that weekend. You will always be a part of our special day. So again, thank you.”

To say those kind words made my day would be an understatement. Congratulations Alison and Justin!
