Marc,
First off, the pictures are incredible! I don't think I could have asked for better quality. The way you took such a short and simple wedding and portrayed it as the important event that it was to us is simply amazing. We were both in another wedding this past weekend. I haven't dealt with many wedding photographers in my life but your skills are worth 10x what you charge after dealing with the guy last week. I honestly never knew you were there except when you were telling Suzy and I how to cut the cake (ha!). Anyway, I don't know if that came out as a compliment, but it definately was intended to be. Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work and roughing it up in Springhill with limited Wifi.

Sincerely, Taylor Smith

Marc,
Thank you for an outstanding job photographing our wedding! Everyone is absolutely blown away by the photos – they are truly spectacular!! We set up a slide show at brunch the day after the wedding so all the family could get a chance to see them and the vote was unanimous that the photographs really show how exuberant we all were, how gorgeous the flowers and everyone looked and just how unique our wedding was. You really captured the atmosphere so well and there were so many interesting shots ... we could not be happier!! Thank you for totally surpassing our expectations and blowing us away with such wonderful documentation of the wedding!

I did a lot of research for photographers, and found Marc to be the very best on paper. After the wedding, I now know why he received so many high accolades. He is that good! From a layman's view, he captured great candid shots of our event. I remember one of my friends started break-dancing, and although it only lasted for 10 seconds, Marc was quickly able to get a few shots in perfectly. If you have time, please look at our website (www.vickiandallan.net/thephotos.htm). You can see his work there. He also has a great eye for zooming on the greatest details. It's amazing, really. I also recommend getting a 2nd photographer for the ceremony and reception; they team up very well and will capture simultaneous moments. For example, while Marc was shooting Vicki and I during our first dance, the other photographer got the expression of Vicki's father as he watched us. It was very touching. Finally, the most impressive part about his service was that he gave me all my images on CDs within 30 minutes of the reception's end. We packed them in our suitcases and enjoyed them during the entire honeymoon.

Hi, Marc.
We just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the wedding proofs. You managed to capture the feelings of the evening, which is exactly what we wanted in our wedding photos. We particularly love the images of us dancing together, the kids being kids, and Andrew's aunts cutting a rug like there's no tomorrow. You also managed to get Andrew dancing with each of his grandmothers. Although we haven't ordered real prints yet, we already cherish those. We're looking forward to receiving notice that Pictage has our proofs posted. We will be sharing the link with god and everyone, not to mention placing a good-sized order ourselves. Thank you again for your time and for lending your fantastic eye to our reception. We are thrilled with the results.

All the Best,
Karen & Andrew Ortolano

Marc Pagani A+++
Marc was very professional, and we were very pleased with our pictures. Our posed shots came out beautifully; he gave us some different ideas for some poses, and was eager to work with us on any particular shots we wanted. We were especially happy with the photo-journalism style that he used, and think he did a really great job capturing people “in the moment”. Everyone that looks at the pictures says that they show what a wonderful time people had at the reception.

Marc,
My family looked through the photos over Thanksgiving and loved them! You did a great job capturing all of the moments. We couldn't have asked for better memories of the day. I love that you're not in everyone's face, all cheesy. People commented that they didn't even notice the photographer. I don't know how we are going to narrow down the pictures for the album!

Thanks again!
Allison Simon

Hi, Marc.
I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much we LOVE the photos from our wedding. You did such a wonderful job. I'm simply amazed; like you said, you're a stealth photographer. You were so unobtrusive, but took such great shots. Thanks so much!!
Kay

Marc Pagani. Amazing Photos. I got over 1300 photos. He was worth every penny. Paganiphoto.com. He is a true artist. I selected him by looking at almost everyone's website in New Orleans. I liked his portfolio best.

Marc did an excellent job at our wedding. He blended in nicely with the guests, kept a low profile, and was flexible with my beautiful bride and I as we were all over the place having a great time! I even saw him out on the floor for a dance or two....which made it all the more special to see ever Marc having a great time! He's the guy you want taking your pics!!!!

Marc was great! The perfect balance between candid, in the moment shots and posed portraits. Very unobtrusive - I didn't remember even seeing him during the ceremony but he got great shots, so he was there. We loved getting the cds immediately following the reception and looked at them on our computer on the way to the honeymoon!

Hi Marc! I don't know if you remember me, but you took the photographs at Jenie and Tudor's wedding on September 2nd. I just wanted to tell you that I finally got a chance to look at the photos, and they are EXTRAORDINARY. Many, many thanks and best wishes from me, Van, Jenie, Tudor, family, and friends who are in total admiration of your photography!! -Julie Van Vlack

Marc was absolutely wonderful to work with. At the end of the night he handed us CDs with the pictures from our wedding. It was great to be able to see them the next day. Not only did he do a great job at the wedding, but he was always available if we had questions and was not hard to get in touch with. He was well worth the money!!

We also used Marc Pagani and I was nothing but impressed! He was the vendor I was the most excited about leading up to the wedding and he did not disappoint. He was amazingly fast with the posed pictures and then spent the rest of the night capturing the fun and intimate moments that make a wedding special. It seemed like everytime I wanted a picture taken I looked up and he was right there ready to go. The other wonderful thing is that he gives you all of the pictures THAT NIGHT! It was so fun to look at the pictures the next day before leaving for the honeymoon!

MARC PAGANI: A++
Marc captured our event in an artful and true way that I could have only dreamed of. He's wonderful to work with and I only wish we could do it all again. www.paganiphoto.com. Our pictures are still available on www.pictage.com. Search events for Galik/Landry 3/13/2004

Marc is a fantastic outdoor photographer, and one of the best at capturing a wedding as it happens. His unobtrusive style (we hardly noticed him) and his tech savvy (he actually had a laptop computer showing all the ceremony pictures during our reception) was the best we could have asked for. Marc took care of everything, got every picture we wanted, and graciously ended the evening with 2 CDs containing every picture he took for us to keep that night! It was truly special to have all our pictures so soon after the wedding, and have them available to all our family and friends online as well! Worth every penny.

Marc didn't take the usual pictures one usually sees but he is a creative photographer who took the pictures we wanted to see ... stylish & fun and that is what he delivered. A great guy, easy to work with. We love our pictures.
