   Marcy,

Imagine our surprise when 6 days after our wedding, our photos were in our mailbox. We have been looking at them and we are having a very hard time trying to pick our favorites. Neither one of us can find the words to express how grateful and happy we are with them. We will recommend you to everyone! Thank you again for the wonderful memories you helped to keep fresh in our minds.

Dear Marci,

Thank you for sending us our wedding photos so quickly! They arrived in the mail right before we left for our honeymoon, so we didn't have time to write you until we got back. We absolutely love your pictures - they tell the story of our romantic, fun wedding day, plus a few bonuses of things that happened that we didn't see! We have looked at them over and over again, and every time we do, we relive the joy of that day.

Another bonus - you were great to work with! Very professional yet friendly and fun. Your patience and diplomacy while working with large family groups and young children are commendable! We highly recommend you to all brides!

Best Wishes,

                                     Teresa & Curtis 9/23/2007

   Dear Marci and Skye,

Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day with such beautiful pictures. They are memories our families and we will cherish forever. The garden, dance floor and photo booth pictures were probably our favorites, but we loved all of them. More importantly, you were both so nice to work with. Marci, you always returned my e-mails right away and we barely noticed your presence at the reception -- which I think is a good thing! Please, please, please use me (us) as a reference if you need one or would like us to put together a testimonial for your website. You guys are great!

Thanks for everything,

                                       Aimee and Matt

   Out of town couple raves about wedding photographer Marci Curtis who shot their Ann Arbor wedding.

   Wedding photos taken at the U of M's Law Quad were loved by wedding couple.
Marci,

Thank you so much for the pictures--we LOVE them! Sorry it has taken us so long to get in touch--I am sure you can imagine the craziness of the last month. We got the pictures when we returned from our honeymoon and had a great time looking through all of them. They were as great as we imagined and we can't tell you how many people are raving about them.

Thanks again and feel free to send any prospective brides our direction!

Marci,

The pictures are absolutely fabulous. Shaun and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. There are so many great shots to choose from and we are having trouble narrowing them down. We loved the fact that you seemed to capture our personalities in each shot. The pictures really look like us and resemble the way we act with each other which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you for paying attention to detail and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Sincerely,

             Shaun and Martha Houck




   Michigan wedding photojournalist gets rave reviews from this sparty loving bride

   Michigan bride from MSU writes rave reviews about this michigan wedding photojournalist Hi Marci,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know how else to say it. Rob and I could not be happier with how our wedding photographs turned out. As a journalist myself, I respect your skill so much. You really captured "us" - through all the laughter and tears (and there was a good amount of both). As a bride, your kindness and professionalism was appreciated. Everyone says the wedding day goes by so fast - and it did - but the photos chronicle so much of the day. We get to re-live those moments through amazing photos, and we're so thankful for that. Best,

                                       Joy (and Rob) Visconti

Dear Marci,

We knew after meeting you that our wedding photos would be perfect, and we were not disappointed. We were very happy to have you as part of our wedding day. You were a very calming presence and were great to work with. We will treasure our wedding photos foreer. Please pass our appreciation on to Skye as well, because the photobooth was a great part of our day. We have a fun and unique guestbook with her pictures in it!

Thank you for setting up your laptop at the reception. Everyone loved seeing the pictures before the night was over (and have been bugging us to see all of the pictures!).

Thank you again for our great pictures!

             Cheers, Emily and Bill

   Michigan brides raves about this photographer after her backyard wedding
Marci, Here is a proper thank you for the wonderful job you did for us. I can't put into words how happy we are about the pictures. You've caught all the moments, the big and the small ones, with their emotions and meanings. All your photographs have this something special, this little something that is missing in most people's work, that transforms a picture into something more. I could make paintings from some of the pictures, because the angles are just right and the composition just as it should be. Working with you was also wonderfully easy, and I was never worried. I wish you all the best in your career and I hope there'll be a few more books - they are so neat! Thanks again,

             Francesca












   Michigan wedding photojournalist gets rave reviews from this Knot bride

   Michigan bride from the Knot writes rave reviews about this michigan wedding photojournalist Marci, you are beyond amazing. The pictures are beautiful, and people's jaws are LITERALLY dropping when we tell them we have our pro pics already - less than a week after the wedding. We were astounded. We just wanted to thank you again for your beautiful work at our wedding. We cannot stop looking at our pictures! (In fact, I had to tear myself away from the computer just to write this note.) We cannot extress strongly enough our gratitude. Your joyful presence at our wedding, the speed with which you sent our photos, and, of course, the photos themselves were all above and beyond our expectations. Our pictures will be loved and cherished for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for that wonderful gift!

Marci, Mac and I want to thank you so much for the absolutely amazing photographs that you took of our wedding day. You have such a wonderful ability of putting everyone at ease and capturing such unique, beautiful moments. Everyone tells you that the day goes by so quickly, and that you miss so much of what was going on around you. Because of your pictures, we have those memories too. Family, friends, tears and joy...you caught it all for us to cherish for years to come. We're so grateful and blessed you were a part of our big day! Thanks again,

             Jenn and Mac McCormick - P.S. We're so happy you'll be photographing my brother's upcoming wedding in May 2008. I'm certain you'll bring the same magic to the memories of his special day.

Hi Marci, I just wanted you to know that Eric and I received photos when we got back from our honeymoon this weekend. Thank you so much for getting those to us! I really love the veil shots and the pictures with the wheat. So, many of the shots are great, especially with that sunset. We laughed quite a bit on some of the photos of the kids too. We are still going through all of them which has been fun. Thank you too for going above and beyond your photog duties. I'm so glad that you could get my dress pinned up correctly. I was getting a little uneasy with my sister's capabilities back there. Also, thanks for the hairspray; I think I ended up keeping your bottle. Sorry! Eric and I both loved having you at the wedding, and honestly I wish that I had another wedding just so that I could work with you again. So here's one more thank you, although I could say many more! I'm so glad that we were able to meet you. All the best

   Michigan brides who recommends this michigan wedding photojournalist

   Michigan bride who recommends this michigan wedding photojournalist Hi Marci, I just wanted to write and say thank you for the wonderful job you did as my photographer. We received the photos exactly two weeks from our wedding and couldn't be happier. The way you captured the special moments was just perfect. You were professional, prompt and courteous! I absolutely love our pictures and your photojournalistic approach was fabulous! It was exactly what I wanted and I can't wait to put together my album. I was so surprised when you set up a photo slide show of the ceremony at the reception - and all my guests were excited to see them. We weren't expecting that and it was an added touch that meant so much to us. I love the fact that I received my own digital images that I can edit myself and create my own book. It will save us so much money in the long run and we are able to print as many as we want, whenever we want. You were worth every penny - and all I can say it thank you!!!!

   Michigan wedding couple who recommend this michigan wedding photojournalist Hi Marci! I know you've seen these, but I got them all online. Please feel free to share with anyone who wants a reference as to everything that a VERY happy customer gets! The day went by so fast for us, and it's amazing that we can "relive" so much of it just by looking at the pictures. We received a ton of compliments before anyone even saw the pictures! People kept asking me if you & Skye were friends because you seemed so much more into being there than other photographers they've seen. I had no doubt that the pictures would be all I wanted and obviously there were no surprises there. But I was surprised and delighted by all the shots of things we didn't get to see at the time. You caught so many beautiful, candid moments, they're art, but completely honest, exactly what we wanted. I could say a lot more but there's a character limit, so THANK YOU!

~Sara & Mike, Oct. 28th

Marci - All we can say is "Wow!" The photos are absolutely stunning and we're amazed at the moments you managed to capture on film. We sat down and looked through all 1,200 photos and every 5 or 10 minutes one of us would say "She caught that on film?!" The photos were like a slow motion video capturing each and every one of our special moments on our wedding day. I don't know how you managed to cover all of Amanda's "must take photos", but you did! From Grandma crying during the ceremony to our decorated bridal suite, you managed to cover all of our requests. The quality of your photos is unbelievable and your professionalism during the wedding was unparalleled. You managed to coral everyone as needed without making it seem like a chore and we completely forgot you were there throughout the evening (and that's a good thing)! Thank you so much for capturing every moment of our wedding day, Marci, and please feel free to use us as a reference anytime!

Marci, We were so amazed at how fast you were able to get them to us. THANK YOU! Secondly, we were absolutely wowed by all the pictures. You truly did a phenomonal job photographing the events of the day. We could not be any more pleased. You have true talent. And the favorites you put in a separate folder for us, what a nice touch!! 941 pictures -- wow~!!! We were sooo pleasantly surprised. The picture you took of me and my mom crying was extremely special and I'll always cherish it. You know just how to capture the moment. The picture of the empty seat with the flower on it for Jeff's mother was a particularly poignant shot. We so appreciate you understanding the symbolism of this. We literally received myriad complements about your work at the hotel/wedding/reception. Everyone was really, really impressed with the data show you set up. You will certainly be a photographer we refer people to for years to come so I hope you don't get too flooded with requests. :) You made our day so special and it was so fun having you there to share it with us. We cannot thank you enough. Sincerely,

                                                Linda and Jeff Belanger 6/9/06

   MI wedding photojournalist gets rave reviews from happy Michigan brides Dear Marci, I truly love the pictures...in fact, I wanted to post so many of them, I had to make them into two albums. Recently, I saw a friend's wedding album from one of the "typical" wedding photographers (snore!). I love mine so much more- thank you! Also, many family members commented on how friendly you were and "not bossy like other photographers." As for me, I liked how you "got the job done!" I am the kind of person that loves to look back at old photos often and I know I'll be enjoying the ones you took for the rest of my life. If I can ever provide a reference for you, count me in! You can tell people I said, "Book this lady...NOW!" You captured the fun of our day- we are not boring people and didn't want boring photos- YOU ROCK! Ever grateful,

Shea Eagle

Thank you for everything! Love,

Hi Marci, Mike and I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work at our wedding. We got the pictures in the mail today, and they look great! You were a ton of fun to work with, we really enjoyed our time with you. We will definitely recommend you to any engaged couples we encounter in the future! Thanks again,

Rosemarie 6/16/06














   
Marci, I finally, finally have the time to email you the link with about 1/8th of your photos from our wedding. I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE them, they are exactly what we were looking for and more. They have been praised by friends and family. Even the place that I took them to get developed asked me to wait to talk to the manager because he thought that I was the photographer (God forbid a couple actually own their own negatives!). He said how great they were, asked about you and said that all the staff was raving about how personal the wedding was. Recently, a friend paid $10k for her wedding pictures. Nuts, right? Even though she saw how great my pictures are she is one of those people that thinks price reflects quality. Needless to say that her pictures were VERY generic and not very good and she hates them. I tried to tell her! Anyway, Thanks again. You were wonderful, and the pictures will be treasured forever!

Karen



   
Hi Marci, I am speechless...the pictures are AMAZING!!!! You did a fabulous job!!! I will send you a CD with all of the pictures. There are too many awesome pictures...I can't decide which ones to send you! I am still on cloud nine...all of your pictures make me giggle and smile!! All I can say is WOW!!! Please let me know if you ever need me to be a reference! Thanks for capturing our special day!!

                                                Jordan 8/5/05



Marci, All we can say is - THANK YOU!! We love each and every one of the images you gave us!! You captured our day perfectly and we are so very grateful. Thank you for being such a key part of our wedding day! Thank you!! Many thanks. Much luck. Hope to work with you again.

Scott and Michelle Schommer 4/22/05


Marci - Thank you, thank you, thank you! We couldn't be happier with our pictures... they're gorgeous! As you probably already know, I've already had two girls at work beg for your number so they can call you about their weddings! You're a wonderful person to work with... we're happy to recommend you to anyone!

Take care - Jill and Dave



            

   

Marci,     Thank you so much for making our special day such a beautiful event. It was perfect, due in large part to you! The photographs were more gorgeous than I could ever imagine! You captured all of the most important moments of the day and so many more moments that I was not there to witness, and so, your photos were a complete and wonderful script of the entire day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Much thanks,

Nicole McKenzie





Marci, Thank you so much for capturing our wedding. Our pictures were so wonderful! I couldn't be more pleased! It was an absolute delight having you. We're very big fans of yours. Thanks!

Love, Chris & Jesse




    Hi Marci, It took us a few months to get around to putting together our album, but once we sat down and started really looking at the pictures we realized all over again how happy we were with your work. The whole day really is documented and looking at the hundreds of photos really helps us remember details and moments that we wouldn't have otherwise. It was important for us to have our wedding photographed in a truly photojournalistic style that showed the real emotions of the day, and we are so happy we took the time to choose a true photojournalist. Brendan was in a wedding this past weekend and mentioned this yet again after the bridal party spent most of the day posing for "candid" shots. Our photos are truly unique compared to almost every other wedding album I've seen, and I can't believe how affordable you were (especially considering we have nearly 700 photos from the day with negatives)! I also wanted to thank you for how great you were to work with. Friends and family involved in the wedding still mention how great you were. Take care,

Tara



Hi Marci,

    I can't begin to thank you for doing such a fantastic job with our wedding! You were able to capture not just the people and events, but the character of the day-- both the poignant and sweet moments and the joking, laughing, and dancing. And as much as we love the photos, we also just loved YOU! In the crazy hours before the wedding, it felt like we just had another good friend with us. And during the ceremony and the reception, you were so discrete, most of our guests were barely aware that you were around. You caught the moments without interrupting them, and we really appreciate that.

    We tried so hard to make sure that our wedding wouldn't be exactly like every other cookie-cutter event we've been to. We wanted it to be casual but beautiful, meaningful but fun, and to really reflect our own style. And your photos accomplished that. Even in the posed family shots, everyone looks relaxed and happy instead of stiff and formal the way most wedding portraits look. We couldn't be happier! I can't wait for a friend to get engaged so I can recommend you!

Thanks again for everything,

Heather



   

    Marci, You were an integral part of our daughter's wonderful wedding. We could not have asked for a more talented, less intrusive photographer, and the quality of the pictures is wonderful! No one was left out. It is great to have so many pictures to view; we pore over them, still finding new favorites months later. The group photos are great, but the private moments you captured are the best. I must also praise the personality of our excellent photographer. You contributed terrific ideas for shots, while also accommodating many requests from other people. I have observed many prima donnas in your line of work, but you could not have been easier to work with, and you made a day fraught with potential stresses so easy. You reassured everyone, and we                                           appreciated it, and you, so much. Affectionately,

Paul and Dolores Tummonds




Dear Marci,

    When we originally called you to do our wedding it was based on the recommendation of a friend who used you. Not having seen her photos, my (then) fiance and I met with you to view your portfolio. We were pretty impressed but as portfolios so often capture the best of the best, I was still a bit skeptical. Our decision to use you was based almost as much on the fact that we would be keeping the negatives as your portfolio.

   However,when I picked up the 16 rolls of film from the developer I was absolutely unprepared for what I saw. Stunning does not even begin to describe them! The formal photos were good (but many can do fine looking posed work) but it was the rest of the photos that took my breath away! There was picture after picture of candid shots that were truly phenomenal! The brightness, clarity and vivid color aside, you somehow managed to capture what people were feeling - such beautiful expressions on people's faces and the joy of the event! I have shown my photos to many people and everyone has commented on how amazing they are. I have even been asked for your contact information so that others can hand it out as references! Truly a bargain at your pricing, I would not hesitate to recommend you to everyone and to use you for another event where I want a beautiful photo record. I cannot thank you enough - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! Best Regards,

Chris & Michelle



   
Hi Marci, I've been meaning to email you for a while to let you know that we got back all of our photos from our wedding on July 19th and couldn't be more thrilled with them. They are really great!

Hi Marci,

   We have had all the wedding pictures (from 12/30/04) developed and are thrilled with them. I was in a friend's wedding two weeks before mine and couldn't believe how much she paid just to get a few formal, posed pictures. I like the fact that we can have all the negatives and do whatever we want with the pictures. I'm looking forward to making our album when I can find the time. I love the way the pictures tell the story of the wedding from beginning to end. While the formal pictures are nice to have, the informal, photojournalistic-style photos are my favorites. There are so many things in the pictures that I never saw or didn't notice. We are so happy with the pictures and are so glad that we found you!

I also wanted to let you know that we appreciated your fun and helpful personality. You seemed to "blend in" and stay out of the way when you needed to, yet you always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to catch great moments and also to help with other things that needed to be done. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special! Please feel free to use any of my comments for advertising or to use me for a reference. Thanks again,

Kristi



    Marci,

   After having my hair dresser run 3 and a half hours late, receiving the wrong bridal bouquet, having a young cousin put his hand through one of my cakes, arriving 2 hours late to the church and countless other issues on my wedding day you were the one piece of the day that went perfectly! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job with our wedding photographs. Since both Jeff and I have been in a million wedding we truly appreciated how quickly & professionally you worked. It made our day so much more enjoyable to know that you were catching every minute of it in such a creative way. My friends and family were blown away by A) the amount of photos you took B) the quality and beauty of them. As my father in law said "I didn't even know she took half of these, they are wonderful!". You made a very hectic and problem filled day run smoothly and efficiently while putting everyone at ease, which at the time seemed impossible. If you ever need a recommendation to sing your praises call the Andersons! Thanks again for a job well done.

       Marci - I can't thank you enough for the excellent work as our photographer! The pictures turned out wonderfully! They are simply awesome. We've heard so many comments about how our photographer captured every moment just right! Jerry and I have even commented that we didn't know you were there when some pictures were taken! Thank you so much for taking us on and being our photographer. Your professionalism and caring really made our day. We were so comfortable around you- like you were an old friend! Our bridal party enjoyed working with you also. They loved that they didn't have to stand there forever!

Thank you again for everything. You have created memories for us that we will treasure forever!

    Hi Marci,

   Just want you to know how much we have enjoyed the candid photos you were able to capture at my son and daughter in laws wedding May 27th, 2005. Woody and Katya had a small wedding but the photographs will always be a large part of our lives. Your work is fantastic, I was surprised to see so many photos that were totally unexpected which makes them priceless. The traditional staged photos are nice but the way in which you captured the younger children at the ceremony as well as the adults at the reception was totally unique.

Thank you again for making this a special day for not only my son and daughter in law but for our families and friends. The candid pictures certainly added a very personal effect and will be a reminder of that special day for years to come. I was very impressed with your work, and the personality, fun and spirit that you put into each and every picture is an added touch.
