Last night and today have been consumed with sharing pictures and
sending e-mails. I am overjoyed and thrilled to be sharing such wonderful
photographs with family and friends. I find that I am looking at the
pictures constantly, and each time I am finding something that I didn't
see before and am amazed at how you captured the magic and beauty of
my
wedding. I knew I had the best photographer from the second we hired
you, but last night when I saw the pictures, and began to get
teary-eyed....it confirmed you were the best! When a bride can look
at her
photos and feel the same emotions as her wedding day, it is incredible.
Words cannot ever express my gratitude towards you or your assistants.
I felt like I was the only bride you had ever photographed...because
you dedicated every second of that day to Mike, my family, and myself.
You truly made me feel like the world revolved around me that day...and
even your prompt reply with proofs, slide show, etc....has confirmed
your dedication to each and every person that hires you.I love the online
gallery, slide show, and blog.
THANK YOU.

Alan,
Oh my goodness - they are so beautiful! You did such a wonderful job
capturing the full range of emotion we experienced throughout the day
(all good emotions!!!). I can't even express how pleased we are. When
Colin and I watched the slide show last night, we were able to relive
our day precisely as we had remembered it. Thank you so much for putting
so much thought, care and personal attention into our album.

Hi Alan!
We wanted to write you to let you know that after David and I got engaged
we both agreed that the photographer we choose will be one of the most
important decisions we will make for our wedding. We now realize after
our wedding is over, all we have are the memories and the best way to
look back on our wedding for years to come will be the amazing photographs!
Before we met you David and I interviewed and met with numerous Arizona
wedding photographers. The moment we met with you we knew right away
no one else compares!
After sharing our wedding photographs with family and friends I can
not believe the compliments we receive on momentsfound! We are so happy
with our decision! Thank you for making our day so special!

Alan,
I just recently viewed the photo album from John & Tania's wedding
on September 23rd. Without a doubt, your work is superb! Incredible!
Thank you for helping make my best friend's wedding the most magical
and important day of her life! Your quality work, dedication and candor
speaks volumes! You captured the beauty of our Mexican culture and most
importantly, the family in a way that some would deem difficult. Anyone
who selects you to photograph their wedding is very fortunate! I was
convinced of your work even before I saw the final result. I am a fan!
Now, I can assure you that when the time comes for me to get married,
I hope that you are available to photograph it, for I would not trust
anyone else but you.
All my best,

Just looked at all 900+ of the photos from your CDs. I think the words
fabulous, fantastic and awesome would be totally inadequate and far
too understated terms in trying to accurately describe the quality of
the images (color, focus and clarity), the artistic manner with which
you captured every "found moment," and the total coverage
of the day. You didn't miss one photo, there was not one shot
that was not great, and we will all be eternally grateful to have these
images to look back upon for a lifetime of continued enjoyment.
We couldn't possibly be happier with your work.

I looked at the photos...they are wonderful....I had such enjoyment
and pleasure looking at them. You truly did a great job
and the amazing thing was, you really were unobtrusive. We had
a wonderful time the entire day of Jen's wedding and you were able to
capture all the special times, emotions as well as getting the posed
pictures. My husband also enjoyed seeing the album
and what you chose for B/W pictures, he thought you did a superb
job.
Also it goes without saying, but if anyone ever wants a recommendation
I would be glad to rave about you!

I don’t know if you recall me and my husband – Lisa (Bowman)
and Stephen Lentz. We were married 12/1/01 and had the distinct pleasure
of having you photograph our wedding day.
I always smile from ear to ear when looking at one of the images captured
by you of that special day in our lives. Your photos grace the walls
of our home and our wedding album continues, as it has for 2+ years,
to sit on the corner of the living room table for all to see. And no,
it doesn’t collect dust!
From time to time I visit your website to see your latest work and continue
to be amazed at the beauty, life, joy and happiness you bring out in
the one of the most special days of anyone’s life. You have a
true talent. A gift. A special ability to capture those rare moments.
Keep up the great work!
My fondest regards,
Lisa Lentz

It has taken me too long, but I just wanted to thank you again for the
outstanding job you did at our wedding. It's been over 8 months
now (I can't believe it!) and people still comment to us about how friendly
and easy to work with you were. And I wish you could
hear the "oohs and aahs" as friends and family thumb through
our album. It's a masterpiece! As the bride and groom,
you're often so caught up in the excitement of the day that it's difficult
to remember all that happened. Thanks to you, when we look at
our album (which we often do!) all those memories come flooding back.
It was an amazing day and having you be a part of it made it that much
better! Thanks again for your care and personal attention.
You made us feel special and unique!
Sincerely,
Eileen and Fernando Orona

Greetings Alan,
Words could never fully describe how appreciative and thrilled Jonathan
and I are about the masterpiece of an album you created for us from
our May 26th wedding at St. Maria Goretti and Moon Valley Country Club.
Alan, aside from the beautiful album you designed for us, you really
made the most important day of our lives memorable by capturing all
of our
special "moments."
There were some key priorities we were hoping to fulfill in finding
a
photographer for our wedding and you went "above and beyond"
any of our
expectations. Just to name a few---you were thorough in preparing the
events of the day, you addressed all of our questions, you made
everyone feel very comfortable come wedding day, and most of all you
were
incredibly friendly! You truly are an outstanding photographer who has
an
unbelievable ability to "find precious moments."
After having received the finished album, it brings my husband and I
all the happiness we experienced our wedding day which can now become
shared moments with friends, family and future children--thanks to you!
Thank you for giving us this great gift which we will cherish for a
lifetime.
Many thanks,
