How are things going with you?  I hope the season has you nice and busy with fun weddings and other cool shoots.

Things are settling down a bit with us, so I thought I’d take the time to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. 

My David and the guys had blast with the groom’s party shoot and can’t stop talking about it.  Everybody from the wedding keeps telling me how much fun they thought the photographer was – how right they all are!  You were so awesome with the wedding party, the guests and the other vendors.  David & I had a fantastic time and you were certainly a big part of that.

We also had a peek at the photos on your blog and they look fabulous!  Although we aren’t in a great hurry, we can’t wait to see the rest.  Ah the anticipation.  :-)

Thank you again for the good work.  We will talk to you soon!

Keep up the great work!!!

Erin & Philip - Wedding Day - Los Angeles, CA:
Aloha David and Katherine,

Happy 3rd of July from Ireland!  It’s been madness since Phil and I got back from our heavenly Hawaiian honeymoon and finally home to Erie, but I’m finally sitting down and getting the chance to write back to you…nearly two months later!  We came home to a dead laptop, so the lovely people at Dell set to work a few weeks ago and just delivered us a new little bundle of computer joy!  So now I can email again, and have a nice wide screen that does your photographs justice!

I am so glad that you enjoyed our wedding day as much as we enjoyed having you both there with us.  David, I don’t know if there is any photographer on the planet who could have covered every angle of our big day for 10 long hours with such enthusiasm and skill.  We were so impressed to have you for the whole day, we didn’t dare think that the company and assistance of your wonderful wife was part of the deal as well!  Katherine, you were so kind, concerned, and helpful–I only recently found out that there might not have been flowers at the ceremony if it wasn’t for you having the florist’s phone number on hand–THANK YOU.  

Everyone has been saying how great our photographer and his lovely wife were, and have been raving about the wedding and loving the sample pictures (myself included!).  The sample photos look absolutely fab-u-lous.  It’s so great to have a little taste of the day to keep us going until the final product is ready.

Hope you guys are doing well, and have a rockin 4th of July!

Cheers,

Erin and Phil 

Katie & Joseph - Wedding Day - Woodland Hills, CA:
“Thank you! How exciting to get a sneak peak before we even leave on our honeymoon! You were great… and made us all feel so comfortable. Thanks for keeping things moving, even with all the big group portraits! We can’t wait to see the rest. 

Thanks again David!!!!

- Katie & Joe” 

Angela & Brian - Wedding Day - Laguna Beach, CA:

I am so happy we met and I can’t believe how special you made our day! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and Jacob and Brian look SOOO cool in their shades! 

I will be in touch very soon! Thank you so much!

We love you!!!!!!!!!!

Rebecca & Andrew - Wedding Day - Irvine, CA (From Andrew):

“David,
 
You did a phenomenal job.  We’ve had compliments about your work all through the wedding and after.  A lot of people loved your personality and how you were able to keep the atmosphere fun and light.  Rebecca’s dad had wished you were out on the East Coast so they could have used you for Ashlee and David’s wedding last December.
These pictures are stunning!
 
The page you put together is fantastic.  I love the ajaxy/lightbox touch for the photos on the bottom of the page.  A photographer ANDDDD an IT guy.  You are quite accomplished.
 

Rebecca and I are definitely going to want to do a book!

Erin & Philip, Wedding Day (From Erin’s Mom) - Los Angeles, CA:
“Hi David,

Just a quick note from the MOB. Erin and Phil are still enjoying Hawaii and I couldn’t let another day go by without letting you know what an awesome experience it was having you photograph their wedding. You seemed to be everywhere at once, yet never intrusive in any way, capturing big moments as well as little ones.

And Katherine… what a saint! She was the picture of calm, collected helpfulness in the midst of all our chaos.

If the few pictures you’ve put on your website are any indication of what’s to come… I CAN’T WAIT!! Your artistic genius is showing again.

And, by the way, LOVE the telephone booth shot!

Thanks to both of you,

Ann Consalvi”

Michelle & Josh, Long Beach, CA - Wedding Day:
“Hello!!!

Can I just say that you are the best photographers ever!!! Thank you for helping to make it the most perfect day for Josh and I. We love the pictures on your site, they are simply amazing! We have gotten so many comments about how wonderful and talented you guys were. Several people wanted your number for events they have coming up. What an impressive job. We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!

We had a lovely time on our quick wedding getaway to Hearst Castle. Our real honeymoon will be next month when we go to Hawaii for a week. I can feel the warm water now surrounding my toes, we can’t wait to be there.

Thanks again and we can’t wait to catch up with you soon. You are the best!

Warmest Regards,

Joshua and Michelle Gorden

Kirsten & Marc, Palos Verdes, CA - Wedding Day:
Hi David,

I really can’t believe that a month has already gone by since our wedding. We had the best time! Everything turned out absolutely perfect. You took some gorgeous pictures from what we’ve seen so far, so we can’t wait for the rest.

I cannot express how much Marc and I enjoyed working with you. You manage to find such a perfect balance between crazy fun and absolute professionalism. You were so great at keeping it fun while still moving things along when we had a time frame to work with. Many of our guests commented on how great you were, and I couldn’t help but once again feel so lucky that we found you. I really hope we have the opportunity to work with you again soon! So once again, thank you for being such an important part of our wedding and helping to preserve our happiest day!!!

I hope you and your wife are well and things are busy (but not too busy!). Talk to you soon!

Many thanks,

Kirsten (Albert, hahaha)

Jason’s BDay Bash / 281 Motorsports Launch Party, La Mirada, CA (From April):
David, OMG! We had such a great time Saturday night for Jason’s Old Man Party aka 30th Birthday. Things got off to a slow start with the guest of honor arriving a little late (almost an hour and a half). But once he got there it was an all out BLAST! David you were so wonderful making your way through the crowds of people. You just blended in with everyone stopping to talk to a few (yea I caught you)…lol. I cant wait to see all the shots that you got… the sneak peak photos are great and I can only imagine how the others will turn out! Thank you so much for being a part of another big milestone in our lives… I know that there will many more to come and we would love to have you a part of them!

Jason’s BDay Bash / 281 Motorsports Launch Party, La Mirada, CA (From Jason):
David is the MAN!! We had him as our photographer at our Wedding and did such an amazing job! Everyone that see’s our photo album is blown away at the quality and detail of his artwork. I cannot wait to see the pictures from my Birthday Party / 281 Motorsports Launch Party! I’m hoping he missed this one embarrassing moment…

Monique & Cesar, Los Angeles, CA - Engagement Shoot (From Monique):
“David!!!

I know Cesar already emailed you, but I just have to say that I absolutley enjoyed my day on Saturday. I looked at the pictures you took, and it brought tears to my eyes. I absolutley LOVE the ones on the website and I’m sure I will love the rest.
Again, THANK YOU so much! I can’t wait to see the rest! Next time we all go to The Edison…Katherine is coming with us! :-)

God Bless!

Soooon 2be Mrs. Ortiz!!!”

Steven’s Seniour Portraits - Huntington Beach, CA (From Mum):

Monique & Cesar, Los Angeles, CA - Engagement Shoot (From Cesar):
“Hey David,

Monique and I wanted to thank you soooo much for today. You made this day a fun and adventurous day. But most of all, you made today a very memorable day for us. We had so much fun hanging out with you today, too bad Katherine couldn’t be there to share the fun, but there is always next time. We just wanted to say thank you again. You take care and we look forward from hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Cesar”

Mr. Stephen Glickman, Writer & Director for Verbal Intercourse Movie:
“This guy is an artist! His work on my first film “Verbal Intercourse” helped create the look we needed to sell the film!!!!”

Erin & Philip, London UK - Engagement Shoot (From Erin):
“Hi David,

It has been such a crazy week, I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you until now! Thank you so much for giving us a taste of the shoot so quickly after you returned. Honestly, I don’t know how I would have survived. The shoot itself was so surreal, I needed to see the pictures to be sure it actually happened — and that it went as fabulously as it felt! Phil and I were excited enough, but everyone I know was absolutely dying to see how the photos turned out from our London Engagment Session too, and let me tell you we all LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!!! No one can pick a favorite — the daffodils? Big Ben? the fountain? the London Eye? Each one looks like a post card but without taking away from the people in the picture. :-)

Also, I was so touched by your write-up of the shoot and your beautiful description of me and Phil. I am so flattered — thank you. If we are “Romance, defined.” you are truly the gifted artist for seeing that and capturing it with your photography. I am so grateful to have these beautiful images to remember this time in our lives.

On a more practical note, I couldn’t appreciate the technical importance of having an engagment session until we’d finished it. I’m so glad we got to spend time working together before the big day. The familiarity and ease we established at the engagment shoot will add an invaluable warmth to our wedding photographs. I’ve never seen Phil so enthusiastic outside his comfort zone, and I’ve never felt so comfortable being photographed. And then to see the results! The difference between a typical photographer and an artist — you photographed the way we feel about each other. Your style and structure in every photo is so artfully constructed, but mindful of the subjects. It’s such a confidence booster to know that every gorgeous angle of every moment on our wedding day will be so brilliantly captured in the say way.

Thanks to you and Katherine both for sharing your time with us for such a magical day! If anything could have added to the whole experience, it was sharing the day with such a caring and supportive couple.

Lots of love to you both, and we can’t wait for more of the London Shoot and for the big day!!!

Erin”

Erin & Philip, London UK - Engagement Shoot (From Philip):
“Hi Dude!
Oh my God!

We’ve emailed the link to everyone and they all thought the pictures are amazing. It has made everyone even more excited for the big day. Thank you so much.

Thank you also for being so AWESOME on the day. We had a blast and Erin loved working with you which has completely relaxed her about the wedding day as she loves you guys and will feel completely comfortable working with you. I loved working with you also. I guess you’re well used to drawing poses out of uncomfortable men like blood from a stone but like Erin I felt completely at ease with you and I had GREAT FUN!!!

You are truly a man of impeccable creativity (Which of course I would appreciate HA HA!)

Later Man”

Jennifer & Kevin, Seal Beach, CA - Engagement Photoshoot:
“You all made it much more comfortable than we expected! We were both really nervous (Kevin especially), but you really made us feel a lot better about the whole thing.

Kevin even made a comment on the way home that he wished that he had the same passion for his work that you do in yours. He had complete faith in you. That’s a big thing for him!

The engagement shoot was perfect for easing him into the 2000 pictures on the wedding day. I’m sure the pictures will come out great!

Thank you again for such a great time. Talk to you soon!

Michelle & Rafael, Santa Barbara, CA – Wedding Day:
“What can I say about Esquire Photography? My wedding was a day I had dreamed about since I was 3. David captured my pink, candlelit, seaside wedding in a way that exceeded all expectations. The pictures from my wedding are amazing. I have become accustomed to receiving compliments on my wedding photos, but the most compelling are from other brides. On more than one occasion I have been told that my pictures look like they belong in a bridal magazine. I owe that to the artistic images captured by Esquire Photography. There was never a harder working photographer. The only complaint I have is that it’s a chore picking out favorites from a seemingly unending amount of flawless pics. Thanks for sharing in our day and being more than just a wedding photographer. It was an absolute honor and privilege to work with Esquire Photography. And most importantly you made me look skinny in a white dress! XOXO! Michelle”

Krissy & David, Los Alamitos, CA – Engagement Shoot:
“David, we both had so much fun with you last night. You made having the picture taking so easy, relaxing, and fun. It was a great experience and I am sure the photos are going to turn out amazing just from the previews you shared. Thanks again and can’t wait to see the finished product!!! Krissy”

Krissy & David, Los Alamitos, CA – Wedding Day:

Bethany Sunny, Laguna Beach, CA – Exclusive Bridal Cruise & Exclusive Baby Cruise:
“David, all 3 of you did an amazing job! I know I threw many curve balls your way and to see you quickly and graciously adjust was so much fun for me. After a couple of these events under our belt we will have it down as clean as a whistle! I’m actually looking forward to that - LOL!! The pictures were great, all 3 of you did wonderful with the attendees and I think your company was fabulously presented.”
