"Dear Jackie,

We wanted to express how much we loved the photographs that you and Phil took for our wedding. Every time we look through the photos, we are truly impressed by the overall quality and depth of coverage. We were extremely pleased with your photojournalism, the portraits of family and friends, and the nice balance of color and black and white pictures. Our wedding photos are a testimony of your exceptional artistic ability and professional and courteous manner.

From the beginning, you quickly made us feel at ease with ourselves, removing any nervousness we might have felt with our pictures being taken. We admire not only your photo-taking skills, but more importantly, how comfortable you made us feel as you were taking the shots. Throughout the entire process, you were extremely pleasant and understanding. Moreover, you were flexible in accommodating our needs, always trying to combine our vision with your remarkable style. The end results were truly amazing. We thank you for your dedication and hard work. Your natural talent, combined with your love of photography and people, made our wedding photos beautiful."

"Dear Jackie,

Tiffany and I are so pleased with the photos that you and Darius took for us. Prior to the wedding, we had an image in our minds of how we wanted our photos to look. While reviewing your portfolio, we knew that your talents were exactly what we were looking, for they captured the underlying spirit in such a candid way. Not only were Tiffany and myself impressed with your photojournalism, but many of our guests and family complimented your effort and professionalism at the ceremony and reception. Your photos certainly capture the love, warmth and emotion of that day perfectly. We cannot thank you enough for providing us with lasting memories of such a wonderful day."

...thank you for the beautiful job you did taking photos for our wedding. Lance and I were very pleased. They were the best pictures I have ever seen of both of us. Thanks!"

We picked up our daughter's wedding pictures from the lab and they are excellent. It was my greatest desire that the photographer be unobtrusive and I was completely unaware that Jackie Van Ly took most of the pictures. She did indeed get all the special events. Please be sure to extend to her my appreciation of her talents.

"Dear Jackie,

Wilbur and I would like to thank you and Darius for being a part of our wedding day. You were so pleasant and patient with all of us, amidst all the commotion that was happening that day. I know it was a long day for all of us, but you were there with us through all the events... Your professionalism was much appreciated.

The photos turned out great, as we'd expected. I know we will have a difficult time deciding which ones to pick for our album."

We were both extremely happy with how the pictures turned out. Jackie & Laura both did an excellent job, in fact at the reception, I never noticed either one of them, they were both discreet but still got lots of great shots. The mostly candid pictures capture so much of the mood and natural poses of the guests that it offers a great way to remember the day.

I would also like to say that Jackie has a great smile which helped tremendously during the posed portraits. "
