Robert Crowder Aka, BOB/ROB! - Hey Bassam,
Great job man, you seem to outdue yourself! I think we might have to discuss my wedding next August! wink
it was a pleasure meeting you, and working with you! lol

To Nat and Vic, it’s about time!! All I can say. With that I leave you a little something….

The Gift Of Friends

There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it’s splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
’till our hearts ache to the breaking,
’till our eyes can’t shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and its mystery,
its power and its might.

And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift,
the precious gift of Friends.

The energy you brought to your big day is totally captured in these photos. It was an incredible day from start to finish.

Congratulations!

Bassem:
You were outstanding! I loved the way you were able to capture candid moments while setting up the traditional shots. You must have eyes in the back of your head…lol. It’s obvious you love what you do. I can’t wait to peruse the proofs.

Cheers, Andrea

I have to tell you that an amazing time was had by all and I think this is the first time on record that the photographer helped to add to that! What a guy! He interacted with everyone! Had the place jumping, laughing and couldn’t wait to see what he would do next for that ‘perfect’ candid shot! He has a talent that I’m so happy you were able to tap into. The pictures can’t help but be amazing. This guy really loves his job.
Thanks for the great party!

Anonymous - I never like taking pictures but this was FUN! Thanks for such a great day. If I ever get married, I’d LOVE to have you at my wedding. Can’t wait to see the rest of the pics.

What a Great Job, people were talking about you all night long. You really do bring out the best in people, and you know how to make them feel comfortable. I always new you were creative, all I can say is WOW. Where were you when I got married…lol.

Anonymous - There was not a doubt in my mind that the pictures would be awesome!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see the rest!

Bassem:

You are infectious! You have a great way of calming people’s nerves by making them do outrageous things! Wedding pictures are usually long and boring. YOU MADE IT A BLAST!!!!!! If I ever marry again, you’ll be the one to capture it (hope my husband doesn’s see this…lol)

Again, thanks a bunch!
