Raves and kind words

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.

  • Mariann,The album arrived yesterday and I am so pleased with it.  It is so beautiful and the whole story of our wedding is told from beginning to end in the most unique way.  Every person I show it to says, “Wow, where did you find this photographer?  She is really amazing!”  It is true.  What a gorgeous way to preserve our most precious day!I have forwarded your contact information to several people and I hope they use you.  There really is no competition.  You showed up on time to a remote place and I never once had to worry.  The only time I noticed you there was when you came in to set up and when you came to say goodbye.  Everyone in my wedding said, “That photographer was awesome!  She was everywhere.”  I never noticed, but it seems you must have been everywhere because there are moments that you captured that were so brief and yet so special.

    I can tell from your photos and your attitude that you love what you do.  It shows in every detail.  We couldn’t be happier with the results.  I wish I could get married every weekend because it was so special for us.  Thankfully, we don’t have to.  We just open our album and relive the day over and over again.

    Many thanks Mariann… you are really wonderful.

    Love and gratitude,

    Shawn and Norma-Jean Callahan

  • 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.

  • Dear Mariann,  It really was such a pleasure to work with you. Your work speaks for itself and is stunning but I absolutely appreciate your relaxed demeanor (even under the inevitable time crunch!) – it makes such a difference when you’re surrounded by jittery brides, half-drunk bridal party and an organized chaos that is always what a wedding is. You do fantastic work and I look forward to working together again soon.  Take care, Sarah

Abby - 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.
