Hi
Ray, I just wanted you to know that Kaitlyn and Zach's wedding was beautiful.
On Thursday when you took our family pictures you told me not to worry,
that everything would be fine and it was. You did a wonderful job coordinating
the special day for Kaitlyn. I've never seen her so happy. The last
6 months have been pretty tough for her and her wedding was just what
the doctor ordered. The boat ride was very romantic, as was the dinner. The boat stopped about halfway to the Rainforest Hideaway so we could enjoy the sunset. We never got back to our hotel until after midnight. I love the family pictures. The shadow pictures came out great and I can't wait to get one transferred to canvas. The wedding pictures were spectacular, they looked like models. Kaitlyn is already putting an album together. She was able to e-mail the pictures to me and I was able to upload them to on online website. We were so fortunate that our families and friends could all gather in St Lucia and enjoy this special occasion together. I have a few people who might be interested in coming to St Lucia for their wedding celebration in the next year or so. I will certainly pass your name and website on to them. Thanks again for making their wedding day like a fairytale. It was great meeting you Ray. Regards, Jan |

Hi
Ray, Now that we are back home and somewhat settled, we wanted to send
you a note letting you know how truly grateful and thankful we feel
to have found you. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding
and nobody better to help us plan that perfect day in paradise. Once
we decided to cancel our Boston wedding plans, only to instead pursue
the dream of getting married on a tropical island, we were left with
one question, "where do we begin?". We knew upfront we didn't
want to use the services of the resort because we didn't want to feel
like just another number. When I stumbled across your site and read
your story about how you got started, I knew we just had to use you.
The fact that you only host one wedding a day was perfect for us. We
never once felt like a number to you, in fact just the opposite, we
felt like we were your friends. From the moment you picked us up at
the resort the day after we arrived until the time we left you after
the ceremony, we felt so comfortable with you. You did an amazing job
with the flowers and the music, we couldn't have picked a better selection
of songs, it was as if you already knew us. The talk you gave me just
before I walked down to meet Ben on the beach was so nice and really
added to the occasion. It was such an intimate setting, which was exactly
what we wanted, and we felt like the only two people on the beach which
was captured in your amazing photography. The scenery was absolutely
gorgeous and we can't stop looking through all the photos you gave us.
We are so pleased with all of the photos as are our friends and family.
We will definitely be back to visit St Lucia and hope to see you when we do. If you ever need to use us as a referral back in the states, we would be more than pleased to help out. Please give Janel and Leslie our best. Janel was a sweetheart and we couldn't have asked for a nicer man than Leslie to marry us. P.S. Sorry to make you work extra hard due to my squinting so much ; ) Our greatest thanks and much love, Melissa & Ben LaPlante xoxoxox |

Hi
Ray, I know Nathan and Sarah will be in contact with you, but I just
wanted to thank you and your colleagues for making Nathan and Sarah's
wedding day exactly what they wanted and more. They are still 'glowing'
with happiness even though they returned to 4 degrees! I cannot thank
you enough for the excellent location, service, reception, steel band,
photographs and video. The whole package. Chris and you obviously have 'the magic' and it is clear for all to see, that you have both captured the 'memories of the moment' in a unique way. Your passion and professionalism shines through in all your work, especially the unique styles and types of photographs. Just one critisism though. You could have done a bit of air-brushing on my stomach for the photos - they say the truth hurts! But seriously, I have no complaints at all. The video and photo's are brilliant and will be shown at the evening reception on the 4th May (and on many other occasions, I am sure). All family and friends present, and even those not present on the day, back home, who have seen the video and photo's so far, have been moved by your sensitive portrayal of the wedding. The Rainforest Hideaway Beach BBQ food was exquisite. I did not get a chance to thank Jim personally on the night. He and his wife disappeared before I could do so, to collect their children, I understand, but I will write to him seperately. The amount of planning and work it takes (took) to deliver your service(s) is not lost on me and I am very grateful. Please convey my thanks to your assistant and other staff, who played a significant part in making the event a success. Also, please feel free to use any of my thanks and feedback as you see fit. Wishing you and your colleagues continued good health happiness and prosperity. Steve Smith. |

We
would like to thank Ray for making our special day a truly memorable
and fantastic event. Our initial plan was to take advantage of the wedding
package that our hotel offered, and have our pictures taken by a local
photographer. Whilst
surfing the internet for a photographer, I came across a recommendation
from a couple that were married in St. Lucia. I contacted them and then
emailed Ray. He was very professional, patient and answered my constant
stream of questions.
I started calling the resort immediately after we booked our trip, leaving several voicemail messages for the wedding co-coordinator. She finally called back after 5 or 6 messages and promised that someone would call me within 24 hours with the details for our wedding, but my call was never returned. I mentioned my frustrations with the resort to Ray and he suggested planning our wedding for us. As it turns out, it was the best decision we could have made. From thereon it was smooth sailing. Ray started the planning and our only tasks were to choose my bouquet and choose our music. Ray constantly kept in touch with me, we never felt pressured. On several occasions I followed his suggestions for our wedding. Ray even recommended a restaurant, The Edge and made reservations for us. He emailed us before we left Toronto to wish us a safe trip and with the details of our itinerary. The day before our wedding we met Ray at our hotel, and he took us into Castries to meet the lawyer. On the day of our wedding, the car picked us up from the hotel and took us to our private beach. Marjorie, our wedding officer, performed a beautiful ceremony, Ray and his staff were our witnesses. During the whole process, from the arrival of the car, Ray was taking pictures - pictures of us arriving, pictures of the ceremony, on the beach, in the garden and pictures at the restaurant. Ray and his staff are
professional but easy going, and the best part is how they complement
each other. They are kind and wonderful and take great pride in their
work and are very detailed oriented. It is very important to Ray that
he makes one feel comfortable, he took such care in planning our wedding.
It was as though he was planning a wedding for very dear friend or
relative. Ray is an amazing photographer. He has to capture the right
moment and as such, there are so many great shots, for instance there’s
one where the sky in the background is blood red, and another with
the waves are crashing in the background. Your Canadian friends, Nellie and Basil Czopyk |

Dear
Ray, Bryan and I want to thank you for the absolutely breathtaking pictures.
You really spoiled us during the entire process; planning through the
actual ceremony. We were interested in a destination wedding because
we wanted a no stress experience where we could focus on the commitment
we were making to each other. We felt very comfortable with you from
the very beginning and everything was just as we had imagined. Thank
you for being so wonderful to work with and for making our special day
one of a kind. We were blown away by the quality of the pictures and
were very surprised to have them back next day. The pictures far exceeded
our expectations and we will cherish them. Thank you again for everything!
Love, Bryan and Kristin Kasselman |

wedding photos that you shot of us were more beautiful than we could
have dreamed of! The are truly breath taking photos and we now have
them in frames all over our home, so once again, thank you so much for
doing such an amazing job on our wedding. You are the best photographer
we ever met! Also, please thank Chris for the amazing video, which came
out even better than we could have imagined. We have already watched
the video twice and we loved watching every second of his creative work.
And, also please thank the minister and the woman who handed us our
rings and who put the flower in my hair for their support.
Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect! Warmly, Stacie and Mike |
