Amy + Joey, Summer Shoreacres Club Wedding

November 05, 2024 by Nicodem Creative in Weddings

Kind words from the couple:

“Marianne and Andrew made us feel comfortable and at ease since our first phone call with them. Neither my husband or I am very comfortable behind the camera, but their gentle suggestions and encouragement to be "us" and they would take care of the rest, resulted in magical pictures. They are flexible, professional, and fun people and their pictures are stunning. We LOVED working with Marianne and Andrew and can't wait to see them again this spring, where they will be photographing my sister's wedding!”

Kind words from the bride:

“This was such a nice surprise yesterday. We are just over the moon happy with Andrew’s work! Just absolutely amazing, he understood the vision perfectly and killed it. Our families and Ryan and I have been swooning all night and day! We have already downloaded them and printed some as well! These are perfect to frame for my dad for his Father’s Day/birthday gift too which will be so fun for him! Thank you for taking all the pics of his car too and making him feel so special! Overall, thank you so so much for all of your hard work, we cannot wait to work together in the future!”
