A Very Special Letter

I received a letter a couple weeks ago from a couple who was married in August. Christine and Tony had such a wonderful wedding and we had a great time doing the photography. Check out their slide show (click here). With their permission, I want to share the letter with you.

Dear Val,

Where do I begin?

Tony and I just finished watching our collection of photos online for about the hundredth (okay, maybe couple hundredth) time! Each and every time the photos of our wedding still amaze us…

As you may remember, Tony and I got engaged last February and planned on having a summer wedding. After seeing some of your photos taken at the Seamen’s Inne and the Mystic Seaport, we were hooked! I had my heart set on someone that was familiar with the lighting of our banquet room and the difficulty of the church we chose.

We contacted you shortly after booking our reception for August only to find out that you were completely booked for the day of our wedding (imagine that) ! I made my mom sit and watch all (yes all) of the slide shows online at your site and I can remember asking both she and Tony what we were going to do since you were the only photographer I wanted!

So we waited, and procrastinated and I remember calling Sue a couple of months later and telling her that we didn’t have a photographer. I told her that The Sweetest Days was already booked and she said let me check…

Amazing! The wedding for our date was postponed and you had just found out! Tony and I met with you the very next morning and you showed us your wedding collection.

As you know, we were able to book both you and Bruce (what an amazing team!) so we could get every shot we were looking for.

Val, I can’t even begin to tell you how beautiful your work is. Tony and I have looked at our photos over and over and just love the candid, yet always elegant and emotional shots you capture. It seems as though every time we look through our album, you’ve captured everything… from our plaque on the boardwalk to before, during and after the ceremony, to the family and wedding party photos and the first dance and our cake…every moment is right there!

The one thing we will always remember is the time we spent together doing our “couples” shot in the Seaport. We had such a wonderful time walking around talking about the ceremony, and finding some fun and some breathtaking photo backdrops (laughing the whole way, of course). Our favorite photos are the ones where we didn’t even realize you were taking. As we were enjoying our first moments alone that day, you were snapping away for a perfect reflection of our day and our personalities.

Thank you for all your efforts in making our wedding memories so special. It has been 5 months since our wedding and we are so fortunate to enjoy every moment over and over again. It was an absolute pleasure working with both you and Bruce.

Best Regards,

Christine and Tony Terracciano







We really do have the BEST couples! Thank you so much for letting us be part of your day and we wish you only happiness and joy always.
