Sept. 10, 1997

To whom it may concern:

This is a letter of my highest recommendation of Eliseo Valdes as a photographer.  My husband (then fiancé) and I first went to Eliseo in the summer of '96 for an engagement photo sitting.  When the proofs came back, we were so delighted with the results that we hoped Eliseo would be available for our wedding on November 9.

Eliseo agreed to photograph our wedding and on the morning of November 9, Eliseo was waiting for me at Evelyn Chapel.  He helped me carry my dress and everything else from the car into the chapel.  I was really impressed that he was the first person to arrive.  Eliseo was busy for 12 hours catching every moment of our special day.  He was very patient, pleasant, professional, and unobtrusive.

The results were astounding!  We received 3 albums full of proofs to choose from, and it was very hard to narrow down all of the wonderful moments that Eliseo caught on film.  Our favorite shots were the outdoor ones that he took of us at Ewing Manor.  There were some other very creative ideas that Eliseo employed in various shots during the ceremony and the reception.

I feel that one of the most important elements of a wedding is the photography, and I give Eliseo Valdes my highest recommendation to all his future customers.
