3 September 2010 from Steven English, celebrant at a funeral I photographed

What I am about to say will sound like a promotional quote. It is not meant to & is just my observation of your excellent work & approach in an area that is dear to my heart as a celebrant. I've just had a wonderful half hour looking at your web site & at some of your beautiful, engaging, moving & senstive people portraits. What a wonderful record for the family of such a significant event in their lives! As a celebrant I feel privileged to be allowed into the life of a family & to constantly witness some of the most touching moments you could ever see & hear. Your photos capture something of these precious moments & I was barely aware that you were there! Congratulations on being brave enough & sensitive enough to recognize that there is a need for these moments to be captured. Your photos will be a constant source of precious memories for families - not only for current generations but also for generations to come. I would highly recommend your ethos, approach & results & look forward to working with you again in the future.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the photos that you took at my Pop's funeral. He was a wonderful man and loved by many. You captured these moments as well as the celebration of a wonderful life..... Thanks for your wonderful capture of our day. I don't need to remember each detail of the day as I will have them to look at whenever I need to.

Dear John,
having just gone through the photos, I am eternally grateful for your service and your skill.
This is too precious for words.
Please pass them to the funeral home for recommendation, and add my phone number for ANYONE who wants to discuss the issue with a fellow-mourner

Thank you. I have been able to see the photographs. They are beautifully taken, and allowed my family and I to feel a little closer to our grieving relations.

The Remembrance Book has proven to be very useful for our friends and relatives. For those who attended the funeral, they are curious to see the photos and read the content, and for those who did not, the book provides them with a good description of the occasion. In addition, the book often serves as a conversational piece and has brought back many fond memories.

I have finally brought myself to look at the photos. I am very pleased with all of them. They really capture the various moments at each stage along the way. Thank you! Also, a few other people commented on the presence of 'a photographer!!' and I have recommended you to them for when the time comes!
