Digital files are suitable for large enlargements up to 20X30. I do not hold you hostage for reprints or expensive 'cost-plus' prints or albums!

Received 5/31/08 Crede, We are so very happy you were a part of Lauren and Chris's wedding. Almost 4 years ago when our oldest daughter Liz married in NJ a commercial photographer friend who did not do weddings recommended a guy who did. The advice he gave me was, "Mark, when the wedding day is over, the food is gone, the music has played your family has gone their way, all that remains are the photos, choose the photographer wisely." We were wise to choose you Crede. Thank you. Mark Gage

January 31, 2007 "Dear Crede, George and I wanted to thank you greatly for all of your hardwork and contributions you made toward our wedding.
