from parents of a happy bride... April 2009,

from Judie & Tom...March 2009
"I would like to thank you and your staff for making our wedding day (at the Ritz Carlton, Sarasota) magical and beautiful! The pictures are outstanding! I have been sharing our proof book with friends and customers and they all comment on what beautiful photographs we have from our wedding! Of course, the amazing sunsets just added to the ambiance!

Thank You for doing such a wonderful job of capturing our Wedding Day. The only problem is we can't decide which ones we want for our album! We are quite fortunate to have the challenge!

It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for listening to our ideas and taking the time to get to know us. Your capturing of the essence of our wedding day will give us the perfect keepsake memory! Thanks so very much for your great work!" Judie Feilen-Kocsis, Married 11-17-07

from Jenna..."I just wanted to let everyone at  Gary W. Sweetman Photography know how much we LOVE out Wedding album! We get so many compliments on it. I love the photos that Gary chose for the black and whites and the ones he chose for the color. The album truly portrays the theme of the day. I feel like I'm back there every time I look at it."

from Cindy in New Tampa..."I have just sent my save-the-date cards (which Gary designed & printed) out PROUDLY!. The came out beautifully. Thanks again. 

from Betty..."Thank you so much for a most pleasant association in connection with our daughter's wedding. I have really enjoyed working with you. The usually boring and up-tight photo sessions were made to be fun for all; as a result we have some of the best family photos ever had taken. The only problem was having to choose our pictures for the album. Every one was so good, it was hard to eliminate any. 

            Gary, your great personality and expertise in photography, with your creativeness and unusually unique shots, are unbeatable. Thanks again for being such a special part of our very joyous occasion." 

from Mrs. Ruben (re: Legacy Portraiture)..."I can't tell you how happy I am! It's even better than I hoped!" 

from Nick and Teil in Tampa..."My husband and I were married in November 2003 at the Colony Beach Club in Longboat Key, FL. and Gary was our photographer.  We were impressed with the level of professionalism and attentiveness by Gary and his staff.  Everything from pre-wedding to post-wedding arrangements were organized and stress-free.  Gary and his staff were very accommodating, they listened to our hopes and concern, and the outcome was better than we ever wished it could be.  My husband and I are so pleased with our pictures, thanks to the pleasurable experience we had working with Gary and his staff!

(Even my two little nieces) Your studio coordinator, Robyn was a lifesaver...she even got me making my first Challah bread which made a great impression on my new in-laws."

from Jamie..."Gary did an excellent job and took some incredible photographs. We gave him a list of pictures we definitely wanted and he went above and beyond. He was a lot of fun and really helped moved things along so we didn't have to spend the entire evening doing pictures. Our final album exceeded our expectations."
