Alan jumped right into our big crazy family wedding and didn’t miss a shot. His background as a photojournalist really made all the difference. We also appreciated the Wedding Bureau’s willingness to share the digital images with us.

I was so thrilled with the results, I cried the first time I saw the proofs.

I really just can't say enough about how fabulous our wedding photos are... and also our rehearsal evening photos. We love the color and black-and-white mix... the color photos are vibrant, and the black-and-white are timeless... What we love the most about the albums is that they capture the whole spirit of the weekend...

And not only the results were fabulous, but so was the process... you were fun and easygoing, yet managed to get everyone in the right place at the right time... you were a wonderful part of our wedding.
