Hi Ralph,


Hi Ralph! We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for everything you did for us! Planning an out of state wedding was stressful to say the least, but you were so great! We never had any doubts or reservations about you like we unfortunatly had with some of our other vendors.

Coordinating everything was tough, but you were always so calm and laidback. Even on the day of the wedding when it looked like it was going to rain just in time for our beach ceremony, you calmed me down and assured me that everything would work out. And it did! (And the clouds actually make the pictures all the more beautiful!)

Even after the wedding, you went out of your way to make sure our slide show worked properly (on our old, out of date computer!) and followed up with us to make sure we recieved the photos okay. The pictures are perfect, you were wonderful to work with and we'd recomed you to anyone looking for a great photographer!!

Thanks again, Ralph!

Melissa and Ben Trombley (Siesta Beach)

 

Hi Ralph,


We are all extremely pleased with the photographs. Thank you again for all you did to beautifully document our special day for us to remember forever. We will be sure that everyone knows how pleased we were with you, your wonderful photographs and your rates.

Choosing you as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. If there is ever anything we can do for you on the island, please just let us know.

Thanks again!

Ralph,


We wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the outstanding job you did with our wedding pictures. Since we were not from the Sarasota area we depended on the internet to locate our vendors. Your website was very informative, one of the best that we viewed. Not only did you have a great portfolio of work, but your website also did a great job at explaining your services. From start to finish your patience and precise attention to detail were by far the traits that stood out to us the most.

The final product was better then we could have imagined. You did such a fantastic job! Every time we share the album or slideshow with someone they feel like it puts them right in the moment. The album tells the story of our fairy tale wedding, and the slideshows brings out all the fun and joy we had on our wedding day. We applaud you in doing such a great job of getting to know us and again exceeding our expectations of you.

We look forward to the next time we will be able to work with you. Till then we will continue to spread the word of what a fabulous photographer you are. If there is a bride and groom out there looking for a photographer - STOP looking. Ralph Clemments is the one for you!!!

Thank you,

Chris and Shannon Cummings (The Beach House Restaurant)

Hi Ralph,


First of all, thank you so very much for the fabulous job that you did at our June 19 wedding. We were so impressed with the way you kept everyone relaxed and having fun while at the same time moving the picture-taking along. What's more, you were always alert for anything that you could do to make things run smoother... from taking my bouquet before our first dance to staging the cake cutting. We truly appeciated all of your hard work and attention to detail!

Thank you again for all of your efforts. You made our special day a dream come true!

Thanks again!

Sarah Lafferty Jacobi (The Radisson on Lido)

Hi Ralph,


Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on our pictures! We received the retouched pics, negatives, and CDs yesterday evening. I really appreciate the fact that you are always responsive to my e-mails and phone calls. To me that was something really important. It gave me a lot of confidence in you considering I live in California!

Thanks,

Christa

Ralph,


Thank you so much for all your help with our wedding.       We are so pleased with our pictures. We're having lots of fun showing everyone our album. You made our wedding day so special.

Thanks again!

Love,

Marcy and Barron (The Chelsea Center)

Dear Ralph,


We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the beautiful pictures. Being from out-of-town, our sole source for researching photographers was the internet. In this day and time, you just never know what you are going to get, and I was more than pleased.

With the evening as windy as it was, we were worried how the pictures would turn out. You can't even tell that I was FREEZING! Everyone that has seen them is just in awe of what gorgeuos shots you took. Many shots have brought several people to tears.

Your professionalism and outgoing personality made the whole picture-taking process a pleasure. I am not a local, but my parents are, and I will make sure that they recommend your services to anyone they know who is need of a great photographer.

Thank you again for your services and take care.

Sincerely,

Jenny and Marshall Hill (The Ritz and Lido Beach)

"Hello, Ralph,


This is Dawn Stern. I hope you are doing well. I'm just calling to touch base. I just can't thank you enough and tell you how wonderful you were at our wedding. We knew you were going to be good but we just had no idea!

You just made everyone feel so comfortable and were just so much fun. Thank you so much for everything!"

Ralph,

We're sorry it's taken a few weeks to get back with you. Thank you sooooo much for the speedy delivery. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PICTURES!!! You did such a great job. Your lighting is just perfect. We couldn't believe how well the sunset (or the clouds hiding the sunset) turned out. Beautiful colors! We are so very pleased with your work. I really like the soft focus lens pictures, those are probably my favorite. All of the pictures were great. I really liked the silhouette pictures of us as well. I am just tickled pink. We saw Anthony and Beth Banks pictures too. Their's were just amazing. You did such a wonderful job and if the opportunity arises, we will definitely recommend you!!! If you need anything just let us know. Thank you again!! You did such a fantastic job!! We are both so VERY pleased.

Hello Ralph,

Thank you again so much for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! You listened to what we wanted, did exactly what we asked....and then added more, based on your experience and artistic talent. The resulting photographs were truly memorable, and we are so thankful you were there working with us! You even made the formal portrait taking fun! What great style you have!

My parents' 60th wedding anniversary is coming up in July! We'll give you a call!

Warm Regards,

Lynn and Hugh MacFarlane

Ralph,

Well, it is hard to believe that Rob and I have been married for nearly two months. I finally have a chance to sit down and write you a letter to say "Thank you."

As any bride-to-be can tell you, planning a wedding can be very stressful. I knew that you were the photographer for me after our very first telephone conversation. You were very easy to talk with, and you listened to the ideas that I presented. (Other photographers I contacted only wanted to tell me what they could do, they didn’t seem too interested in what I wanted them to do.)

I was so excited to work with you, I booked you at our very first face-to-face meeting. Your portfolio was extensive, and the pictures spoke for themselves. I knew that I would be pleased with your work.

On the wedding day, I was a little stressed, but you helped put me at ease. You were wonderful! You took as many pictures of Rob and I as you could (without us seeing one another) before the ceremony, and you captured all the great moments during the ceremony - such as the lighting of the unity candle and the first kiss.

We gave you the free rein to take as many pictures as you wanted and of what you wanted. I ended up with the most perfect collection of wedding pictures. I have the candid shots of everyone at the reception and the more formal, posed shots of the families. We were pleased with the combination of the softer, more romantic photos and the crisper clearer photos.

Everyone that has seen the pictures agrees that they are the most beautiful pictures that they have ever seen. Ralph, you are by far the best photographer I have ever worked with.

Thank you for everything.

Melissa Ogilvie

Dear Ralph,

Jerard and I would like to say thank you so much for all your hard work in making our special day so memorable. The pictures are above and beyond what we ever imagined. Everyone was amazed at how many photos were taken and how awesome they turned out. We were very excited to have the negatives included in our package and at a very reasonable price. Our guests were also very impressed by your professional, friendly, and courteous manner. We thank God for the beautiful weather he provided for us. Without him, you wouldn’t have captured the precious sunset pictures that we were hoping to be included in our album. You made posing for pictures so easy and fun. We really enjoyed working with you. You knew exactly what we were looking for and provided a photo album that we will truly treasure for years to come. We will highly recommend you.

Sincerely,

Jerard and Janet Russo

Dear Ralph,

My sister-in-law sent me her wedding pictures online and I could not believe how pefect they were. What a remarkable job. If only I knew about you when I was getting married. Cynthia is already a beautiful woman and the pictures showed just exactly how I see her. Beautiful!!!! I will most definetly keep you in mind when my children get married. Thank you!

"Hey, Ralph,

It's Toni. I was calling to let you know that we have seen the picures and we love them. You did an awesome job! I can't decide which series of pictures I like the best- I love them all. Rick is very pleased as well, and so is our family, so thank you very much. We certainly enjoyed your services and the end result is absolutely beautiful, so thank you!

Hi,Ralph,

I just wanted to say again that Matt and I are so pleased with the pictures. Every time I look at them I am so amazed that you got the exact idea of what I was looking for.
Take care and thank you again.

Cynthia Collis

Ralph,

We have been married for almost nine months now and I can't believe it's taken us this long to write you to let you and everyone else know what a magnificent job you did with our wedding. I know we told you how happy we were with all of the photos, but I'm not sure we expressed it enough. SOOOO many things went wrong on our wedding day, from losing the ring to hiring a horrible caterer, but you made every step of the way easier, even down to helping everyone look for the ring! You were professional, but at the same time you were fun and made everyone feel at ease. I've been in my share of weddings as a bridesmaid and I have NEVER met a photograher that even compared to your level of expertise. You made posing for so many pictures a breeze, and the candid shots were just as professional and some of my favorites! The pictures were absolutely beautiful! Everyone commented on how beautiful they were and what clear, perfect color. Some friends and family that got married after us asked about the cost of photography during their planning and they were amazed at the quality of photos we got for such an affordable price. I've seen so many people that have paid 2-3 times as much and didn't get the quality or professionalism you provided. Again Ralph, thank you so very, very much!

Ralph,

The photographs were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! We are so pleased with the way that they turned out, and the way that you labeled and numbered the prints is great! We also wanted to thank you for your great service and enthusiasm during the photo taking process! You were very professional but at the same time very friendly and personable. You truly made our wedding day better and now we have these great photographs to remember it by! There were a lot of photographers to choose from in that area, but we are very happy that we chose you! Thanks again and I'll let you know when the negatives arrive!

Dear Ralph,

I just wanted to write you a quick note to say thanks again for all your hard work to make our day wonderful. The pictures did turn out fantastic. Thanks again for all you did. You made the picture taking go so smoothly and that was very important to me since I love photography also. Maybe one day I will get into something like that but who knows!! I hope you had a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care!!

Sincerely,

Rebekah Chambers

Ralph,

Dear Ralph,

On behalf of Jeff and myself, I would like to sincerely thank you for the incredible job you did photographing our wedding. Your love for what you do is evident in every aspect of your work – from your enthusiasm at our event to the resulting photographs. It is this passion that truly sets you apart!
We received so many benefits by hiring you as our wedding photographer. Beginning with your coverage options; they are affordable and practical. I was especially pleased we received the negatives as part of our package. Your professionalism at our event, and willingness to go above and beyond, had everyone talking! I am still receiving compliments from guests about how fabulous you were. Finally, the photographs we received back were perfect. From the amount to the quality, we couldn’t be more pleased. The variety of poses and shots truly captured the mood of our special day and the personalities of all those involved.
Ralph, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us preserve the memories of our wedding day. Our photographs are treasures that we will keep and share forever.

Warm regards,

"Hi, Ralph,

Dennis and Lucy from Evansville, Indiana: I got your pictures yesterday, and, man, are they great! You did an absolute wonderful job. I just couldn't believe how much better they are than what normal pictures are. And the shots, the scenes, the background... We are just truly, truly happy. I would recommend you over any photographer I've ever seen in my entire life. I can't say enough good things about them, Ralph. It's really, really fantastic, and we'll have a lot of fun with those pictures for a long time."

Dear Ralph,

My family and I want to thank you for being such a wonderful and delightful photographer. Jennifer and I spent a lot of time researching photographers. After several interviews, we decided to use your experience and expertise, and you more than met our expectations. We were amazed at how many photos you took and how many moments you captured so professionally and unobtrusively. It was nice to be confident that you would handle this while I enjoyed our guests. Thanks to you, I can relive that day every time I open my beautiful album.

Thanks for the memories,

Helen Jones

Dear Ralph,

Dear Ralph,

Thanks so much for the absolutely beautiful wedding and reception photos! We really enjoyed working with you, and will recommend you highly.

Thanks again,

Deb and Jeremy (Debby Fox and Jeremy Stillwagner)

"Our wedding event included many photographed moments, both indoors and outside. There were different scenic settings, including the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. There were young children and elderly family members. There were formal and informal photographs. Ralph captured the beauty and special memories of our day in an efficient and quiet manner.

Ralph worked well with the many people involved in our wedding event. The event was held in a private home. The caterers, the florist, the rental people, the shuttle drivers, and the family of the residence agreed unanimously that Ralph was professional and sensitive in working together with them during the preparations and event.

We are so pleased with our photographs. It is without any reservations that we recommend Ralph Clemments. We thoroughly enjoyed out time spent with him, and the results of his work have become family treasures."

Janet Hember-Mainey, owner of the Swiss Day Pre-School

"It is a pleasure for me to write a letter of recommendation for Ralph Clemments. Ralph was the photographer for the wedding and reception of our daughter Ingrid Scherer Roberts. His experience, knowledge, expertise, and efficiency were readily apparent from our first encounter.
The entire wedding reception was a success partly because of his keen sense of organization and unlimited energy.
I highly recommend Ralph as a very dedicated, qualified photographer. He was superbly responsive to the feelings and wishes of the wedding party."

Dr. George and Eva Scherer

Dear Ralph, Thanks again for the wonderful job you did photographing our wedding. It was a joy to work with you and be with you. You have a great gift! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Love,
