Paul Schaefer: October 2008

Dearest Paul,

I am not sure where to begin. I am sooooooooo grateful that we chose YOU as our daughter Corrie's wedding photographer! We searched and felt as though we made the best possible choice for our needs, but you never really know until the final product is seen.....or is that cean...just kidding. I have a critical eye when it comes to photography. You surpassed my expectations in every area.

First, you were nurturing and patient with our entire family and wedding party throughout the event. You built a relationship with us that we will pursue for our future photograhy needs. You are more than a businessman, you are a caring individual who allows your creativity and years of training and education to come through your product.

Second, you sacrificed your own comfort and ideas to accommodate ours. I appreciate that! You never complained about being drug around to take the next perfect shot. You laughed and made jokes at times that could have been stressful and tense.

Third, you captured memories that can never be duplicated. The emotions ran high at the wedding due to the untimely accident in the groom's family two days before the wedding that claimed the life of his uncle and placed his aunt in ICU during the wedding. Unbeknownst to you, the uncle's name was PC and one of the photos has the kids standing behind a metal framed gate with those initials in it! Additionally, after the wedding, the cares of this world overcame the singer from the wedding and he is no longer with us. We will treasure the professional photos of him forever.

Paul, we recommend you to family and friends who have photography needs. I pray your business will prosper as you share your gift of photography with us all. Blessings, Kelley Johnson

P.S. I should have listened to Cean and ordered my own book! I told the kids they may as well give it up now lol.
