Allan,

I just wanted to send you a note to tell you that it was excellent to meet you at Edith's wedding. I was the maid of honor and I am very excited to see how wonderful the pictures have turned out!

You had mentioned that you might put some of the pictures on your personal website, please let me know if and when you do! I would love to show my friends and family.

Best wishes!
Christy

Dear Janice (at Bella),

Thank you so much for all of your help with our photography! We were thrilled with our photographer; he was both incredibly nice and easy to work with. We were also very impressed with how good of a job he did being unobtrusive. The photos are amazing, and everyone who has seen them has been impressed. We've already told one couple about our great experience with Bella and will definitely let future couples know about how easy you make it!

Allan,

We wanted to thank you for making our wedding day so memorable. You captured our special day in the most perfect way. Every picture is simply gorgeous; they were everything we hoped for and more. We love every photograph and have received many compliments.

During the reception you were completely unobtrusive, we didn't even realize you were taking pictures.

We will definitely recommend your wonderful talents!

Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Detrich,

I wanted to express to you how unique your website and blog are. I have become quite a fan. You have a unique talent with your camera, a great eye. The pictures of the aftermath of the destruction, of this horrible tornado that went through Greensburg were so very captivating. I am always stunned at the destruction, but your pictures can place a person who is miles away, right there with everyone. I was brought to tears viewing those walking, in disbelief of what they have just went through. When I was younger, the Palm Sunday hit right across the river. We could hear it, but for my family, we were very fortunate that it stayed on the other side of the water. Afterwards, I remember the darkness as the only thing lost was the electricity for us. But by daylight, it was total destruction, very much the same that you were able to capture with your photos.

I really appreciate your blog. You have a knack for writing. It's has been informative. This one day when my oldest daughter was having a bad day at work..I sent her to your website to look at the "road kill". We were laughing so hard at your captions with each picture. Turned her bad day into uncontrollable laughter at work, which is not easy for her to do.

Plus, I must say when I clicked on "Commercials" on your wesite, to find my two beautiful little Grandson's Brian and Marc, getting dressed, by my oldest daughter and others....what a nice surprise!

I was very pleased with the pictures you took of Kevin and Leigh's wedding day. She wanted everything different about her wedding, even the photos..I loved that they were all so natural. I want you to know how much we appreciated all the photos you took during this celebration. It was really a beautiful day for us as a family, and now I will have memorable pictures to view all of the time. I will treasure these! You did a marvelous job captivating my daughter's beauty, her expressions, her natural laugh, and the love she has for her wonderful husband. They had so much fun, they really enjoyed their wedding. For this I really thank you. I loved all the pictures of her and her father. I kind of wished the lighting was a bit brighter at the Park Inn, especially during the father daughter dance. They had so much fun together! The pictures of the church were also beautiful!

You did a superb job and I would recommend you anytime to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

As for the future, I do still plan on continuing checking in on your web site.

Take care of yourself!
Proud Mother of the Bride,
