Oh. My. God. I’m literally crying at my desk at work. I am just totally speechless, which doesn’t happen often. WOW! WOW! WOW! How absolutely wonderful. Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words and for the absolutely beautiful photographs. Oh my gosh. I’m totally, absolutely speechless. Productivity at work should be at an all-time low today, considering that I’ve looked at the pictures about twenty times in the last 15 minutes.
Thank goodness I don’t teach anymore or else the kids would’ve been completely ignored. I hope that Tim doesn’t forget to teach his classes today. Wow. You are both so incredibly talented, and we are really lucky to have had you as our photographers. We can’t thank you enough. Please do not hesitate to send anyone our way who is looking for a reference. On top of spectacular photographs, both you and Dan honestly could not have been any nicer and easier to work with, so thank you. -Monique Cueto-Potts
Okay, I’ve watched it like 14 times and had to wipe tears away every time! My family is in LOVE with your work! I sent it out to everyone and my inbox has been flooded with responses! Amazing work! LOVE THEM! -Holly Bezy
Wow! The pictures are amazing! We love every one of them. You guys did a fantastic job. Alie is really excited about them. Thank you again for yesterday. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day. -Leslie Myers
Oh my goodness! As we expected… those are incredible! We had such a good time, it was truly a highlight kind of day. We’re glad Reece was up to the work – you guys are so good with him. —- Speechless…really… Thank you guys so much for capturing our family…it’s everything we hoped for, and more. We can’t wait to show this off! We’re on the verge of calling our extended family and waking them up to make them go to their computers. -Joe Davis
WOW! You guys are amazing. Thank you for capturing the innocence and ‘creativity’ in our little one! What a fun time we had. These are memories I will treasure forever!!! Thank you. — So this is what midnight feels like – still looking – can’t stop – but need to go to bed! Thanks again. -Lisa Davis
OH MY GOD, you guys, that is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen…..seriously, not even enough tissues in my condo right now to deal with that!!! Thank you so much, the album is stunning!!! And we can’t wait to see all of the individual pictures. Thank you again, so much!! -Leigh Ann O’Neill
I want to congratulate you on your business model and the commitment to work together. That is much more rewarding than working for the main and waiting for the next raise or promotion. Most of all I want to compliment you and BRAND PHOTODESIGN (and all the future employees) on integrating into your business plan (and life) the willingness to give your talent open-ended with no strings attached. This is a very mature concept and act that will pay you back personally. Most people don’t reach this level of self-actualization until they are old or very wealthy. You are just getting a head start. Congratulations on just becoming more perfect. -Tom Sherman
Brooke and Dan, We just wanted to say we got a chance to look at K.J.’s pics tonight and we love them!! We just wanted to thank you so much for your patience with us and your incredible talent. You got incredible pictures and we are really thankful!! Pictures mean a lot to me because of the memories they have attached to them. I want these to be a gift someday for K.J. and maybe his future wife because to me they are more than just pictures, but they have memories attached and remind me of all the things he was doing and loved at different stages in his life. Maybe it’s a mom thing, but he is just the most amazing gift God has given me and I want to enjoy every second I have with him and my husband while I’m here on earth. Anyway, I know that was a lot of words just to say thanks, but we do thank you for taking the time to capture what we see in our minds!! Thank you for using the talents that God has given you!! -Wendy Kellams
Dan and Brooke do a wonderful job! The pictures they take are amazing. They are great people. I don’t just feel like we had a photographer, I felt like we had a friend who really cared about our day! -Tina Jennison
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! And some more WOWS! The new site is AWESOME!!! LOVE the new name too!!! Love it all! You two never seize to amaze me. I know I always say that but seriously, you have some good brains.
) You two are such wonderful kind-hearted people & myself or anyone would be honored/lucky to have you as a photographer of anything! I wish you much more success & happy clients. Don’t worry, I’ll be spreading the good word about you two even more. -Jessica Gaudin
Dan, I thought you and Brooke would enjoy my daddy’s reaction to your work…My mom said he was crying the entire day! — Em, I can’t stop watching these pictures. I new you looked gorgeous that day, but when I finally saw the picture of you walking down the aisle…Emily, no one could have looked more beautiful than you. I basically trashed almost the whole day yesterday showing people your pictures. With every picture, I can see the joy in your heart, and I have the most comforting feeling a Dad can ever have knowing that the biggest day in his baby’s life was such a joy for her. I want to get an I-pod just so I can load this and watch it on the plane over and over. I am so glad you found this Dan Brand. He captured not just the pictures, but the emotions of that weekend so well. These are priceless!! -Emily Rockwood & her dad, Don Strack
Dan, WE LOVE THE ONLINE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!! Emily couldn’t stop crying when she saw it. You truly have an amazing God given talent!! I and I know I can speak for Emily we are truly grateful to you and Brooke for making our wedding day that much more special. We will definitely use you and Brooke in the future and will recommend you to everybody! -Brad Rockwood
Hi Dan, I have to tell you that after looking at the slideshow, I am completely speechless. Both Safi and I cried when looking at the pictures and we want to quit medicine to become Dan Brand groupies. As Safi is still saying (seriously for the past 12 hours)…”I can’t believe they captured the emotion of the day.” You may be getting some phone calls from my recently engaged friends… For once in my life I’m at a loss for words to tell you how amazed I am with you and Brooke. I have no idea how the both of you did it, but you’ve exceeded our expectations. I have some friends trying to get engaged just so they can have you do their photos and some family wanting to get re-married so they too can have your photos-Tasha Faruqui
Dan, I took a look at a couple of your new shoots…your work is first rate! Amazing! To be this good at such an early part of your career, I can only predict a very bright and successful future ahead. You either got it or you don’t, and you got it! You have to be passionate about what you are doing to do this quality of work. Someday you’ll be doing weddings for the rich and famous. Talk them in to using our chocolates. It’s a great gift you give these people to capture their most memorable day in such a stunning and captivating way. -Tim Beere, DeBrand Fine Chocolates
We could not be happier that Dan and Brooke were the photographers for our wedding. From our first meeting with them, we knew their passion for photography and their genuine concern for the bride and groom would result in an amazing experience. And we were right!! They were extremely helpful with planning, and everything was a breeze on the wedding day. After the wedding, when we got our online photo slideshow with just a sampling of our photos from the day, we were more than ecstatic. I have never seen a photographer capture the feeling, emotion and energy of a wedding like Dan and Brooke. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!!! -Bridget and Andy Jones
Hey Dan! Ok, so you know how happy Andy and I are with the pictures, but I wanted to send you some comments we’ve gotten from family and friends about the album. You should be really proud of your growing business… you’re obviously doing something right!
- Wow, did anyone else sit at their desk and cry??? That is unbelievable! If I ever get married, I am calling up Dan Brand!
-Oh my gosh, Bridget!! These are the most amazing pictures I’ve ever seen! You are SOOOO lucky to have such great pictures! I cannot wait to see ALL of them!!
-Dear god that was awesome!! They don’t know this yet, but they are hired for my 2010 wedding…now all I need is a groom!
-I LOVE that album … it is so beautiful.
-I just got done looking at the online album of Bridget’s wedding. Those are by far the best wedding pictures I have ever seen. That guy really knows what he is doing.
-Those pictures were freaking amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it before…what a cool idea! I can’t wait to see all of the crazy pics too
-Those pics are awesome!!! I want your photographer’s information…I want him to do my wedding!!!
-Okay, that was amazing. I just shared the slide show with the teacher’s lounge and it was a huge hit!! LOVE IT!!!
-Congratulations on selecting a great photographer. WONDERFUL photos, assembly and music, can’t wait to see the other 600 classics.
…So, keep up the good work! Not only is your work amazing, but you and Brooke were awesome to work with through the whole process. Thanks again!! -Bridget Jones
Our wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. We are so ecstatic that we have such fabulous images to remember our wedding day. Not only can we look back at the flowers, dresses and decorations, but Dan and Brooke fully captured the emotion of the day as well. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone that wishes to have their priceless memories frozen in time in a beautiful album. -Kyle and Kristi Powell
Hey Dan! So I have watched the slide show at least 6 times now and have cried every single time. I called my sister, Sara, and we watched it simultaneously and blubbered back and forth to each other on the phone.I think maybe Ryan (the man of steel himself) got teary eyed. Those are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I didn’t realize the day of how awesome the flowers and cake looked. It really took my breath away. Seriously, you and Brooke did an amazing job. We are so pleased already. Thanks for making our wedding pictures look amazing! -Shanon Lacy
Dan and Brooke–I’m absolutely speechless. The images from Shanon’s wedding are AMAZING! I can’t stop watching it…..and I’ve cried almost every single time. What you were able to capture in those photos is beyond words. I look very forward to seeing the rest of the photos. Congrats and kudos on a job VERY well done. You both are such beautiful and wonderful people…and SO incredibly talented. Rest assured that you will be recommended to everyone I know! Thanks again for your professionalism, personality and talent. We are so lucky. -Sara Gambs (and Jack too!)
We loved working with Dan and Brooke. They were so friendly and personable. My bridal party really liked them too. I would recommend them to anyone getting married and not wanting a “stuffy” photographer. I like how everything is not posed with them. I like having “natural” photographs. I cannot wait to actually get my pictures to show everyone! -Stephanie and Matthew Pierle
Dan and Brooke’s professionalism the day of our event was evident in everything–from their attire, to the respectful way in which they treated our guests. They were top notch in the way they prepared for the day, and remembered to take all of the post-ceremony shots we requested. Thank you! -Nikki and Michael Cunningham
I was very pleased with our wedding photos. They were very thorough in capturing every detail. We now have beautiful photographs to remind us of our beautiful day. – Jessica and Tom Feigenbaum
BRAND PHOTODESIGN did an excellent job. We would both highly recommend them to any bride. They captured every shot we wanted and more beautifully and were incredibly friendly and polite to everyone that day. They were also easy to get in contact with and quick with the responses back to all our questions. -Stephanie and Paul Rose
Our wedding was a most memorable event filled with laughter, tears of joy, and most of all love. All of these emotions were beautifully captured in a natural and flowing manner through the photographs taken by Dan and Brooke Brand. Each time a family member views our wedding photo’s, tears fill their eyes. For those family members unable to attend our wedding, they commented after viewing the photo albums, they could feel all of the joy we were experiencing. Dan Brand Photography truly captures your precious moments and expresses your emotions in photos. Thanks Dan and Brooke! -Angela and Jon Landry
Dan and Brooke Brand are not only excellent and professional photographers, they are also genuinely kind people. They made the photography portion of wedding planning stress free. They helped guide my husband and I through a schedule that fit our needs, without pushing for scenarios we didn’t want (like seeing each other beforehand). After seeing their work, we were amazed that they captured the day perfectly. Choosing Dan and Brooke to photograph our wedding is a decision we will be thankful we made for years to come. -Elizabeth and Ryan Middleton
