Billy and Ruthie, So, I’ve sat the past two days in a fog, thinking about this very moment when I would have to blog about your wedding. I don’t even know where to start! I look at your pictures and feel completely confident that they speak for themselves. This is a perfect example of a…

These are absolutely gorgeous! Amazing!!!!
September 20, 2009 - 8:08 pm
This is Milanna. I’m Billy sister.
And when I saw the pictures they were good. The photograher did a good job. And I was impressed. And my sister in law looked really pretty and my brother looked handsome. I can’t ask for a better sister in law. She is a great sister in law and I have an awesome brother also.
September 20, 2009 - 8:32 pm
The pictures are truly amazing and I’m so happy for technology! and that you are so willing to share them with everyone. You really captured the essence of the incredible people that Billy and Ruthie are and each picture showcases how much they love each other, which makes me smile.

The pictures are very good and the creativity of a lot of the shots was amazing. It was like looking at pictures out of a bride magazine. We traveled to Illinois from PA just for this wedding.
September 20, 2009 - 10:19 pm
The pictures are absolutely beautiful.
September 23, 2009 - 1:24 pm

Hey! I did not even know you were getting married Mr. Walters. Have you finished medical school yet? If not I am sure that Ruth will assist you in that goal. I have not been in touch with any one for some time. let me know what your plans are please. In Christ Dave
September 24, 2009 - 3:58 pm
Really liked the close-up of Ruthie’s eyes….reminded me of a college yearbook section on the homecoming queen entitled “the eyes have it” where each girl in the court had 2 or 3 pictures with the main one being a tight shot of their eyes….With Billy and Ruthie the eyes have it!
September 24, 2009 - 6:53 pm
I liked the use of the architectural elements incorporated into the photos but not taking away from the actual subjects. And who knew rain could be beautiful?!
September 25, 2009 - 1:56 pm
The photography on these wedding pictures is the best I’ve ever seen! Ruthie looks absolutely beautiful and Billy, my grandson was a handsome groom! I’d recommend this photographer to anyone!
September 26, 2009 - 5:43 am

Mark,
You truly are an artist! Thank you so much for all you captured on our son and beautiful new daughter-in -love’s wedding weekend. We wanted to personally THANK YOU and K for all you did AND your calm, non-demanding, professional AND very personable character. You put everyone at ease and were very kind to all those other “guest” photographers If you don’t win any awards from your professional groups with some of these displays I’ll be shocked! T.Y again ! M.O.G.
September 27, 2009 - 8:33 pm
The pictures are beautiful just as the day was. God is so GOOD! He stopped the rain enough to allow the ceremony to be outside.
September 27, 2009 - 9:14 pm
Mark & Katelyn- What a treasury of photos capturing the spirit of the day! From glamour bride to photo journalism, you covered it all. You were awesome to work with from the first meeting to the last wedding book wrap up. Your marketing premiums were creative and useful. Your timely communication throughout the process showed your organization and professionalism and helped us track with you over the 6 month window. Your gentle working style had a calming effect and also made it so pleasant to work with and take direction from on this special day. We felt we were co-creators with true artists and artisans.

September 30, 2009 - 9:18 pm
Thank you, thank you everyone for your awesome comments about Ruthie and Billy’s wedding photos! Katelyn and I were like two kids in a candy store shooting this wedding! They were another couple in a long list of couples this summer who wanted good photos and it shows in their photos. We want to thank you guys for choosing us and for giving us the time to capture such fun memories.

Good use of contrast, saturation (or desaturation), focus and blur… he must use Lightroom. Several are from interesting angles or interestingly framed. The eyelashes picture is my favorite. Very well done.
