From their honeymoon in Hawaii, Tammy Mather writes:

   " Even mahalo nui loa does does not begin to express how we feel about working with you and the photos. They are breathtaking. You work like a ninja! You are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. And your eye for what's important manifested itself in a myriad of ways and made the day and photos perfect. For example, thank you for not asking us to stand for posed photos with each member of the wedding party individually -- and letting us get to the party!

   "We knew we wanted to work with you from the moment we saw your portfolio. What we didn't realize at the time, but as our friend Laura (the budding photographer) pointed out to us when she looked at your portfolio before the wedding, is that one of the many reasons we would love our wedding photos is that they are as much NOT like, as they are like the photos in your portfolio. They share your sensibility and artistry, which we fell in love with, but they are unique to our wedding, shaped by the moments of the day. You didn't ask us to strike poses that are repeated again and again in your portfolio. You made the photos as uniquely ours as the day. Laura looked at a portfolio of another photographer for an engaged friend of hers and Laura's advice was, "Well, I hope you like what you see there because that's what your wedding pictures will look like." She was amazed by the variety of your work - just like we are.

   " I am sure you hear it all the time, but we could never explain how much we truly love and appreciate the pictures. I never had a doubt in my mind that you would do a great job, especially after we met you for the engagement pictures. I will be recommending you to ANYONE who has a need of an excellent photographer. I just wish we had more occasions to use you! Thank you Larry, from the bottom of our hearts, you exceeded our highest expectations.

   "I'm not quite sure how to thank you enough for such perfect pictures of our special day. We received the box yesterday and looked forward all day to some quiet time to reflect on them together ... late that night we finally arrived home, got comfortable into each other's arms to open the box. We stayed up late into the morning hours taking time with each and every special image. What an absolutely beautiful job you did on capturing all the special moments of that memorable day!"

Shelley Flanigan Kilbon of Fort Collins, Colorado writes:

   "Larry was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. His flexibility, professionalism, friendliness, and sheer talent captured our day perfectly.

   "Instead of a wedding album full of posed shots that no one really cares about, we have a documentary of our wedding day. The look that passed between us as our ceremony started, the beauty and spirituality of the place surrounding us, our joy as we kissed and held each other for the first time as a married couple -- all of this he captured on film.

   "Even our posed family shots have a personality we never thought possible. When we look at our album today, we do more than just remember the day . . . we relive it."

Jessica Dorr Hansen of Seattle, Washington writes:

   "These are the things I remember from my wedding: watching guests arrive for the ceremony, the smile on my husband's face as I walked down the aisle, the toast my grandmother gave in Polish at the reception, our first kiss, and our first dance.

   "Here's what I don't remember from my wedding: posing for a lot of photos. That's not to say I didn't. I have a beautiful book filled with incredible photos of my family, Steve's family and our newly blended families, which proves that we did in fact pose for photos. I just don't remember it and that is the biggest complement I can give Larry.

   "I hardly noticed he was there.

   "He told me that all he needed was a little time before and after the ceremony and then he'd blend in to the background. And he was right. In addition to the posed shots, some of the photos I treasure the most are the photos I wasn't there to see - the candid photos of friends and family at the ceremony and reception.

   "The photos are all beautiful, highlighting both the attendees and the setting. They're personal - capturing a young cousin who found a dog she wanted to take home, signing our marriage certificate on my brother's back because we didn't have a table, and the big, teary grin that never left my mother's face.

   "They're professional - each posed shot took one or two shots at the most and they're all flawless. They're perfect. Larry Stanley listened to what was important to me and delivered it so easily, so effortlessly, and so exactly that I could savor the day, my family and my wedding."

Susan McLaughlin of Mill Valley, California writes:

   "When we started looking for a wedding photographer Mike and I had a couple specific things in mind: we wanted someone who would respect our interest in untraditional photos (we didn't want to spend the evening posing) and someone who would capture the beauty and majesty of the place we had chosen to be married, Mike's parents ranch.

   "Larry was a great choice! He came to spend part of the afternoon at the ranch to get the lay of the land, listened to our thoughts and then effectively made himself invisible at the wedding. The photos really captured all of our special moments. We treasure looking back through them!"
