| Kind Reader, The following letter was recieved October 16, 2001 and is included in it's entirety. LL Dear Bride and mother of the Bride, I have written this letter, because our family had the best wedding photographer in the South Puget Sound Region and I know how tough it is to find a great photographer. It is totally unsolicited that I write this letter of encouragement for hiring Leona Lisa Photography. My daughter was recently married and we had Lisa as our wedding photographer. I can't begin to tell you how terrific Lisa was! I know exactly how you feel right now as you go about selecting a photographer because my daughter and I went through this exercise and were worried about choosing the best one. We went to several wedding shows and received many flyers and brochures from numerous companies, but heard about Lisa from a trusted "photographer " friend. She is a professional, honest, fair in her costs and willing to work with the couple all the way. Photos are the memories of a day you spend a year preparing for and are truly priceless in the final analysis. I know there are many important decisions that have to be made from selecting the caterer to choosing the right reception location, but the photographer and their product is critical when the wedding is over. Lisa shot wonderful engagement photos. Her goal was two-fold, one to get to know the couple prior to the wedding, and secondly, to have these photos truly reflect who the kids are. Once I saw the quality of work in this pre-session, I had confidence she would be good. You never know what type of experience you can have and last year my niece, the Maid of Honor in my daughter's wedding, had the "Photographer From Hell." Lisa met with us several times to determine the photo selection etc. On the day of the wedding, she spent an entire day working tirelessly and with an unbelievable positive attitude. Her patience was extraordinary as she dealt with two ring bearers who challenged us all and still got marvelous shots. She took numerous combinationsof a large family on both sides. She took artistic black and white, lovely colored photos and wonderful candids, not to mention the professional formal shots. She also is part of the 21st century with her Wedding Web Page Design. As you can see, I am very impressed with Lisa. I have three daughters and a son and I can say without a doubt, I will hire Lisa when they decide to get married. I would also hire her for other events,She's that good! Good luck in your decision, I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed in hiring Leona Lisa as your wedding photographer, we weren't! Mother of the Bride Now if there were any reason I could recommend a couple and families to work with, these people exemplified that. They took time out of their busy lives while planning their wedding to meet with me and share their plans and visions. From a formal portrait of the bride on the grand staircase at her parent's home, and with her bridesmaids-to the first glimpse of each other by the bride and groom on location at their reception site before the bridal party location session ( their reception location allowed for some stunning environmentals, but this would not have been possible with the 250+ guests in attendance). we went over schedules, so families weren't left wondering what to do. And scheduled time so it all flowed nicely. They provided me with consice information and a contact person, had I any questions as to who was who. They shared with me their favorite aspects of their church. And overall were a joy to work with. It is my sincerest wish to create the album of your dreams in an enjoyable, unobtrusive manner! Thank you for your interest in my work. I take pride in providing the very finest in wedding coverages available, and look forward to serving you! Leona Lisa Light Impressions Photography |
