Erin & Earl Wellington WOW! Amazing pictures. Thanks to both of you for being there to capture it for us. Everyone at the wedding commented how great the both of you were. Please get in touch if you should ever need a reference for anything in the future. You both made us feel so at ease and the two of us had heaps of fun.

Emma & Jason Nelson AMAZING! Hey Sandra. Just a quick email to say thank you once again for the amazing photos!! You wouldn't believe the response we have had from them. People think they are the best wedding photos they have seen... AWESOME! Job very well done so thanks again!!	Nadine Christchurch Wedding Agent HAPPY TEARS From a Wedding Agency in Christchurch: Hi Sandra. The photos are all done and have been collected by the couple. They looked great and it looked like a really fun day. Ok, the bride burst into tears - HAPPY tears! I've have never seen this happen. She cried and said that Sandra was fantastic and it was better than we could ever have imagined.
Di & Mike Nelson THE PERFECT PERSON FOR US Initial response: The Photos are amazing!! We just skimmed through them when we got them, and have finally had a chance to have a really good look at them. How we are going to decide on 110 for our album I don’t know! You are a very talented lady, I never thought of myself as photogenic, but if i do say so myself I look pretty ok in some of them :) And later: Love love love the photo book, You have done an amazing job, as you have with every aspect as you worked with us. And thank you so much for your patience with us all. It wasn’t an easy task with so many kids to deal with. But I am so pleased that we involved them all and would do it all again in a heartbeat. They are all so precious to us and to have them all involved was the best way to have a wedding, The best part now is to have all the memories and you were the perfect person to do that for us. So thank you once again.	Simon & Julie Christchurch SUPPORTIVE EXPERT Hi Sandra, The album arrived and Wow Wow Wow!!! It looks amazing. The cover is exactly what we dreamt of and makes us grateful for choosing you to capture our day. Not only did we receive a great person to work with and fantastic images but also a fabulous album to showcase our day. Through the whole process you have been supportive and offered your expertise. We can't thank you enough. Can't wait to show everyone! Thanks again.

You are so talented and organised. And having received their final images: Thanks and WOW!! Simon really loved the boudoir shots and the AV of them. Thanks again for this.

We had such fun. We even had guests the following day say how impressed they were with you both. Caroline & Patrick USA HAPPY TEARS I'm sitting here in front of the computer, having a little cry because I just watched the video you made and included secretly on the USB. It was so sweet and such a surprise! It captured the whole event: the weather, the dress, the setting, the emotions. Thank you for that!! Wow! (Cathy - Mother of the Bride)
Rebecca & Matt Nelson BEYOND HAPPY We are beyond happy! It was a lovely day, thank you! Just perfect. Honestly, we had the best day.

I will be recommending you to anyone I know getting married :)	Sonia & Mark Nelson AWESOME Dear Sandra - Thank you for our lovely wedding photos. You made a fab job. The comments we have gotten are awesome. We recommend you to everyone. We couldn't have asked for a nicer or more patient person! Thanks heaps.
Nigel & Diana Nelson PROFESSIONAL & FUN We had the pleasure of experiencing Sandra's passion for photography at our wedding. We felt very comfortable with her capturing our special moments on the day because she did all the preparing by getting to know us as a couple before the day, so she had an understanding of who we were which I felt she got perfect. Very professional, relaxed, involved with the wedding party's laughs, and thorough. She got our photos to us within a week of our wedding, which was amazingly fast, and the Photobook that was made for us was so great everybody who sees it is amazed by it. Sandra, we thank you so very much for helping to make our day so special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to another couple.	Mike & Tracey Nelson THRILLED We have only just sat down all together and looked at the photos on our big screen TV. Thank you so much for capturing the day so beautifully! Thank you for the photos of the little things. Well done for getting the photos of Ella in the back of the car. They were just beautiful of her and we just were so relieved – though I didn’t mind her serious looks because that is her all over! We all looked so gorgeous and handsome and they are a wonderful keepsake. We are just thrilled and can’t wait to share them with our families. Thanks again.
