It’s always a great compliment to receive a kind note from the bride after she sees her images for the first time, but it’s an even greater joy for me when a family member and in this case, a father, takes time out of his day to send me a sweet email.  I received this note from Jack, the father of the bride:

Dear Hollye,

Over a year has passed since Lisa and Brian’s wedding and I was hoping to see you in person one day but it’s doubtful that will happen in the near future. I just wanted to tell you how perfect the photographs of the wedding are. Every time I look at them it takes me back to Cloverdale, CA . The most impressive thing about your work is that you not only have captured the moment but also the emotion that embraced that moment. For me personally I was riding a roller coaster of emotions and each time I view the wedding album it’s like getting back on the ride. Thank you so much for creating a lasting memory of that magical day.

Best Regards,

Jack Santillo

These images were of the father’s first few moments seeing his “little girl” in her dress.

Thank you Jack for reminding me about the importance of what I do and why I’m so incredibly passionate about weddings.
