Thank you so much for everything last Saturday! I have no doubt that the photos will be beautiful, but you were such a calming presence, as well. You also did a great job getting through all the formal photos quickly. I am discussing photo album options with both sets of parents and will let you know as soon as I do. Absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you! Jeff said you are a "wedding genius" The pictures are breathtaking. You got such beautiful, candid shots. Thank you again!! All the best, Kara and Jeff Rothman



you outdid yourself! love them. look forward to seeing them all on the site. you surpassed all my widest expectations. and under such hectic circumstances - you made us all look absolutely beautiful and stately. looking forward to receiving the images in the mail so that we can really pour over them! there are tons i would like and i know other friends and family members will want more too. my desire for a coffee table book is separate. need lots of tmie to think about layout, etc. thank you! you made the wedding the beautiful memory it is in all of our minds. xoxo, me (Kobi and Lloyd)

We're back from Portugal (it was a blast) and we're eagerly awaiting the chance to see how the pictures came out. ...I know we had a great time and we really appreciate what a wonderful help you were throughout the evening. Giulia and I even commented 'thank God' we took photos because it went so fast. ....I looked through the photos this morning and they are absolutely gorgeous, I can't say it enough. They're so unique and really captured moments that flew by way too quickly. I love them. We'll be in touch, Giulia and Joe

Nick and I just finished looking at all of the images from the wedding; they have far exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so wonderful. Your attention to detail and ability to chronicle the entire story of the event have left us with some beautiful memories. It was so nice working with you - we would recommend you without hesitation to anyone. We are now looking forward to receiving our proof book. Thank you again for giving us such wonderful keepsakes from our wedding day! With sincerest regards, Lindsay and Nick

We're really excited to see the images. I had a mini-preview already and they are beautiful. Just wanted to let you know that we got the proof book and cd. It's great to look at all the images. Thanks so much and we'll be in contact soon with the images that we'd like to order. Everyone loves the photos. Thanks and best wishes, Pooja and Amit

We're so excited! Thanks so much for all the hard work. The pictures are well worth the wait. Once we receive the proof book, we'll talk again about an album, extra prints, etc. Thanks again, Kate and Nimel

Hey Allegra- Thank you again, so much, guiding us through the process of a wedding. We both felt a bit like bumbling idiots that day:-) Your kindness and knowledge helped us look like we knew what we were doing. Jim and I are very excited that you are editing our photos. We periodically check the site to see how things are progressing. We just got a chance to sit down and start choosing the photos that we like--there are so many that capture the mood, romance, warmth, and zaniness. ...Thanks again for your wonderful photographs and artistic ideas. Hope you and your family are well. Take Care. Anne and Jim

Dear Allegra, I can't begin to thank you enough! These are so beautiful and sensitive. Looking through them has left me feeling like I can return to the exact moments, such a gift! -- I wish I could capture in words the emotions the photos bring as well as you are able to capture emotion in your photography. Many, many thanks. Is there a rough number of prints we should aim to pick out for our album, and for the parent albums? Sincerely, Jessie and Dave

The pictures look great! Thanks so much. People continue to tell us how much they love the pictures!! Also, do you "first/second week" baby photographs? Steve and I are expecting a baby! Cate and Steve

Hi Allegra, I finally got to take a look at the pictures you sent! We're really excited to see more. Back to Honeymooning! Thanks, Stephanie and Naitoan Michael

Hi Allegra, I just quickly glanced through the pictures online and they look soooooo good...thank you so so much! I can't wait to look through them more carefully, it's going to be really hard to pick out only 40! We've been going through our photos the past couple of weeks, and I just want to tell you again how impressed and amazed we are by your talent. We have narrowed down our favorites to about 60 images...When we have all of our definite favorites picked I'll send them, and then will you assist us in designing the actual album (colors, etc)? Thanks!!! Julie and Micheal

Oh goody!! Thanks Allegra !!!! I have so enjoyed working with you!!!! Mia and George

Wahooo!!!! Thanks so much Allegra!! I can't wait to see them!!!! I wanted to thank you again for everything. It was such a great day for us and you certainly helped to make it that way. I can't wait to see the proofs!!! So fun. It looks like you have been very busy! Hope all is well! ... We just got the proofs! They are wonderful! We'll be in touch about everything. We know we would like a book, but may wait a while for that but we'll definetly be ordering some pictures! Thanks so much! They are amazing!!! My cousin got the print of her husband and son. It is gorgeous. Absolutely amazing. We are so excited to order some of our own soon. I know we prepaid some, and was wondering exactly how it worked. Can we put the prepay and the 10% extra (is that right) towards a book later? Or do we need to use the prepaid amount in a certain amount of time for the fancy images we want now? It is such a cool program on the CD. We love "turning" the pages.Thanks again! Stacy and Eric

Thanks, Allegra! We just looked at the photos a few days ago and they are incredible! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Thank you so much for the contact sheet book. We just received it today along with the CD, and it is so beautiful! We are still blown away by all the wonderful photos.~ Sandy and Micheal

Thanks – everything looks great! We’ve really been enjoying the pictures. Thanks so much, Allegra! -Hillary and Jamie

The photos are GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much. I’ve only had a chance to go through them once but can’t wait to really stare at them all for a while. Thanks for everything, Jen and Jim  

Allegra, I just wanted to thank you for photographing our wedding last weekend. I can't wait to see all the photos! The one up now with the starry sky is wonderful. Even though it was freezing, I'm glad we went outside to take those. As I'm sure you could tell I'm pretty shy in front of the camera so I really appreciate the fact that we got all of the posed photos done so quickly before the ceremony. I really enjoyed getting to know you and please tell Carrie thanks for me too. I know you are already very busy, but I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer...I love the wedding images...thank you so much. It was so fun to go through them and relive the evening... you captured so many great moments, many I wasn't even aware of! ~ Shannon and Ron

They look fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You did a tremendous job with the photos and I appreciate the work that you have put in. And even though it sounds ridiculous, I can't thank you enough for the photos of the favors, empty tables, food, cake, flowers, etc. -- those were the details that I didn't get a chance to see or enjoy at the reception (due to the timing of our arrival and the fact that we were running around the whole night -- we didn't even get to really eat)! Thank you for capturing those details. It is going to be very difficult to pick out ones for the album -- I love so many of them!
~ Monique and Keith

Wow, I have not been able to stop looking at the photos.....that's why I haven't written. They are absolutely everything I had hoped for. I realized so much from being able to see us from another eye. My friend Erin was looking with me at them yesterday afternoon and she satrted to cry...I asked her what was wrong and she said that she had never seen two people who looked so deeply in love. She was so moved.... I know we will re-live every minute all over again. The romance session photos are out of a fairy tale...Its hard to believe when I look at these that the girl in the photos is really me...Now I believe everyone who told me that I looked like a faerie that day!
~ Cyndi and Sam

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR SUCH A GLORIOUS JOB!!! ~ Mary and Jory
If I haven’t said so before, I cannot tell you how happy we are with the beautiful work that you did on Mary & Jory’s wedding...
~Mary's mom

Yea!!! ...I’m dying!! 1000 pictures!!?? You guys worked your little buns off! First, let me say that the kids absolutely steel the show! Their photos are fantastic! There were so many pictures but I couldn’t linger and I didn’t let it paint the full screen in most cases just so I could catch a glimpse. I then looked at just the thumbsized prints in the Gallery and am so dying to savor all the pictures...They really look beautiful ...Incredible. Absolutely incredible. They are so very, very beautiful ...Allegra, the photos are just so fabulously wonderful I’m having am impossible time deciding...People are still talking about the wedding photos! I’ll probably never put together a “wedding album” because I would never be able to choose. Even the food photos are exceptional!...
~Karen and Bruce

The photos are WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much.
~ Bronwyn and Greg

We’ve been reviewing the full set of posted pictures. Each picture brings a smile. You did a great job. Now the hard part: picking pictures for albums and individual reprints...All the pictures are GORGEOUS!
~ Meghan and Lance

We got the proofbook last week- woohoo! We are very excited!
~ Ellis and Doug

YES!!!!! Thank you so much. The sneak peak you sent us was great! The pictures are HERMOSAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~ Gloria and Michael

WOW! We love them! :-)
~ Cheryl and Mike

WE'RE SO EXCITED! We've spend the last hour looking through them--the pictures are amazing! I don't know how we will pick pictures for the album! thank you so much! Kamal and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pictures! We've been reliving the wedding all weekend, and couldn't help leaking the sight to a few friends. They've been reliving the wedding too, and everybody is so pleased with your work! There are over 1,000 pictures--we're amazed by the volume of pictures, the very thorough coverage of the whole day; and as usual, the beautiful and powerful moments you captured. We still have not gotten through all of them--we get caught up in every single picture...We have received the proofs and have decided to name our first child Allegra. Allegro if it's a boy. ;) Allegra, we were just as excited to receive the proofs as we were to see the pictures online. Even the proof book was beautifully arranged. We were amazed. And seeing the pictures in print just confirmed what we've been thinking all along--that you are truly talented, and that your service has been outstanding! the combination is so rare! Thank you so much! You've given us such beautiful memories of our day.
~ Osamudia and Kamal

I just wanted to let you know that we received the album. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but Perrin said and I quote, "Our photo album came in today. And it is beautiful! I’m so pleased and happy we went with Allegra! And seeing the pics reinforced to me how much I love you and exactly why I married you, just because you’re you!" Isn't he the greatest! :) Thanks again for everything!...
I had a chance to look at the album and I agree with Perrin. It confirms your great work. The album looks great!
~ SaKeithia and Perrin

I just wanted to take a minute now that we're back from our honeymoon...to thank you for all of your work at our wedding. We are so looking forward to seeing the images you captured. The one that is on your website now is wonderful. You captured the happiness and whimsy that I hoped the many colored beachballs would provide! ...Thank you again for all your help. Can't wait to work on the album with you!... can't thank you enough. The pictures are stunning! Jerry and I were alternating between laughing and crying as we looked through them - and every emotion in between! You captured so many wonderful moments and feelings and personalities. I can't believe that photo number 1400 is really us! And the infrared film shots are spectacular - you truly turned our day into a fairy tale! Our only problem will be deciding what to include in the album! So my next question is - how do we get started buying some photos? We wanted to get a bunch of wallet size ones to include in thank you cards, and get some large ones for our parents and ourselves, and then figure out the album. Thank you again and again and again and again. Having you photograph our wedding was the best decision we made! (Well, after deciding to get married to each other!)
~ Hilary and Jerry

 I LOVE that picture that you attached! I got the proofs today! They're great, but I've been snooping at them online since Monday. I'm so happy with them and will let you know shortly about an album...
~ Leanne and Steve.

It has certainly been a pleasure to work with you, and I have recommended you to both my engaged bridesmaids. We both really appreciate all your hard work and tolerating our crazy relatives and friends...the pics look great and we've got lots of compliments. We'll be in touch about an album.
~ Ashley and Craig


I can't thank you enough for your generosity and talent! Every time I look at the picture you sent of my dad I start to cry...because its such a beautiful picture and because it truly captures the essence and personality of my dad. I never thought when picking a photographer or when choosing the many pictures...for our album, how important those decisions would end up being. I treasure those photographs now and so do my brothers and sisters...Thank you again for everything. I can't express how much it meant to all of us. If there is ever anything we can do for you such as a reference etc... please let me know!
~ Mrs.Frankel

I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to have you photograph our wedding. You were not only fun but very professional. You really blended right in with the crowd! I have heard complaints about other photographers posing the bride and groom all night... so much that it caused them to really miss a great time! You were wonderful and I will always appreciate that! I can guarantee that you will be my number one recommendation... Thanks again for all you did. Not only are you a wonderful photographer but also a delightful person!

~ Mrs.Blosser

Thank you so much for everything! I was lucky to find you. Your work is just gorgeous and you made everything easy for us!
~ Mrs.Intihar  


Thank you so very much for everything! You are the best - I really mean that! I'm so happy you were there! We simply cannot thank you enough for all your help, support, and beautiful artistry! We love the pictures and feel that you captured every single moment and emotion during our day!!
~ Ms. Binko


Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our album. It looks beautiful! I couldn't imagine having a better album to remember our wedding. Thank you so much for your wonderful pictures, professionalism and creativity. You will remain on the top of our list of recommendations!
~ Mrs.Joyce


It is I, the mother of the groom, just looking at the wedding photos. I see the one of Deedy and Rob dancing.... you did a fantastic job and I can't wait to view all of the photos!
~ Mrs.Cleland


I just wanted to let you know that I looked at the pictures and they are BEAUTIFUL! I'm so pleased with them that I can't put it into words. The only problem is I have no idea which images to pick!...Anyway, I ...wanted to tell you how wonderful they are!!
~ Mrs.Edmunds



Thank you for the beautiful album! It was such a pleasure opening the album for the first time, and reliving our wedding day. It was obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into the layout, and everyone we have shown it to has been equally impressed. Thank you again for all your time and effort, the album is a wonderful compilation of the feelings, atmosphere and joy we felt on our wedding day!
~ Ms. Berhman


I've just seen the wedding pictures on the internet and, whew, boy, that is absolutely AWESOME! What a treat...I will recommend you and your services to everybody!
    ~ Mr. J.W. Stinnett


 Eric and I are thrilled! They are soo wonderful, as well as a lovely presentation. I can't wait to get back home this weekend so I can spend hours looking at them, how will we ever pick?!
   ~ Mrs. John

  
The pictures are absolutely beautiful. I don't envy you having to decide which ones to pick. Whatever you paid for that photographer is worth every dime, I don't care how much it cost.
  ~ Friend of bride

 
 We got the pictures....... WOW! They are so wonderful.... it is going to be hard to choose but your suggestions will help so much! Thanks again for the great work.
   ~ Mrs. Gerock

  
For every obstacle that arose or that we created, you handled it with grace and efficiency... Those pictures have enormous sentimental value not only to us, but also to our parents and siblings and to generations who will hopefully follow!...
   ~ Drs. Careys

  
The (wedding) portrait photographs are even better than I hoped for and your talent and expertise coupled with your artistic eye were definitely responsible! Your gift for just the right moment and just the right pose is very evident.
   ~ Mrs. Keedie Leonard

 
 It is difficult to express the gratitude our family feels for you regarding the photography and coordination of our daughter's wedding. Your warmth and tireless dedication to detail in no way went unnoticed by many friends and family members...You so lovingly dealt with one situation after another...The album you sent us is a treasure...What an eye you have for placing the bride and groom in picturesque, but not necessarily conventional settings. These are the portraits that remain favorites through time...The photographs in front of OMC are personal and unique, as well as photographs carefully taken in front of the groom's parent's southern home. It took imagination and energy kindled by your creative gift of photography and desire to capture life's most poignant moments. These are the qualities of a truly gifted photographer!
   ~ Dr. & Mrs. Jay Reese

  
I can already see that your fee was money well spent! Thanks for the previews!
   ~ Mr. J. Trevino

 
 "Hey Allegra! You are the best! I am so excited about those proofs! I love them!…I have spread the word about you girl - you don't know how happy you've made me! I did get the packet and am forwarding these pix to all my buds! I love you, I love you, I love you! Thank so much! I am so excited!
   ~ Mrs. L. Carrington


the pictures were WONDERFUL! I can't imagine having a better photographer - You were absolutely perfect! Thank you very much! I will be in touch soon to discuss an album.
   ~ Mrs. T. Joyce

  … just posted my wedding pictures online, and they are awesome! I cannot recommend (you) enough! You're laid-back, easy to work with, and the pictures are beautiful!… I'm so happy with the result! I'm really glad we made the investment for good photography!
   ~ Ms. M. Liles
