Okay! So prior to my wedding, I have never EVER given a review to anyone. But after the "incredible" experience you live as you are preparing your wedding and searching for venues, vendors etc and having found those vendors; I truly do feel I want to do this for the GREAT vendors I was blessed to have for my wedding. And definitely, DUANE was one of them. I was so concerned at first, not knowing who to choose as my photographer, since there are so many out there. However, when I came accross Duane, I fell in love with his work. I knew I wanted him to do my wedding pictures, that I would cherish for the rest of my life. I booked him almost an entire year in advance. Some may think I was crazy, for I actually signed my contract and booked him w/out actually meeting him!!!. But he was so responsive and attentive over the Email and telephone. He made me feel like we were friends, and not just his client, and confident that I would get beautiful pictures. And I thought "his work speaks for itself". (that's how much I felt I could trust him ) As we approached the wedding, he was in constant communication with me, wanted me earlier than my Make-up artist had arranged for, just so that "I" wouldn't miss out on any important pics. He arrived earlier. He was wonderful. I could not have chosen anyone better than him. I'm so Thankful I did. My husband and I and our family and friends love our pics and I will have beautiful memories to cherish forever. DUANE IS AMAZING!! He is a responsible, dedicated professional and you will LOVE his work. Because of budget reasons, I almost did not get his Ringlight Photobooth, but oh my GOD, I am SO SO SO glad I did. That ADDED so much fun to our reception. My guests LOVED it. Totally and 100% better than traditional booths. And he is so GREAT, I couldnt believe that he had them ready the next day, Sunday, in a FB gallery so that all my guests could see them. That was so much fun and created so much energy, with everyone wanting to see their FUN, FUNNY, DUMB, ADORABLE looking pictures. GREAT GREAT GREAT ! Thanks Duane~ YOU will always be such an important and special piece to my wedding memories. God Bless You ! All the Best - Now, Mrs. De Portillo =)
