I wish to thank you for your professionalism and outstanding photos taken at my father’s funeral at Beechwood. A wonderful collection where the composition, colour and detail were extremely well done. Very discrete yet able to capture so many great pictures. Sincere thanks.

…please accept my personal thank you for what you have done for the Merchant Navy Organization. You have gone far beyond being just a photographer in business, you have put yourself out, given of your time and energy, been just a real nice guy and there are so few like you in this world today. The navy would say “Bravo Zulu” (a job well done).

I would like to take the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful pictures that you sent of my ____ of ____.

As you are aware, I was particularly impressed with the picture of my daughter, mother and me following the presentation of the bouquet. You captured a very special moment, made even more special by the fact that in the background there are several members of my extended family and some close friends. I have framed a print of that photo and have it displayed in my home.

Once again, … thank you for immortalizing a special moment for me and my family.

Sincerely,

M.J.H. (LGen) (11 Aug, 2015)

Thank you so much Richard;


Your work is incredible and I wish I could have this ‘softer’ look each and every day. Looks like I had a great plastic surgeon, instead I have a great photographer. Lol

Thank you again for all you have done for B________. I feel like a million bucks every time I look at my picture.

Most kindly,

Hi Richard

My Husband and I met you at the Weekend to Honour Korean Veterans.

Late Saturday evening my husband googled to see what pictures were posted re the events.  Only one, your photograph of Mr. S____ showing Mr. Blaney his brother’s name in the Book of Remembrance.  Even though we had been at the Museum that day we missed meeting Mr. S____ . Mr. S____ is in my father’s platoon photograph and I was able to track him down at the Cenotaph on the Sunday.

Because of your photograph I was able to reintroduce Mr. R___(visiting from Newfoundland) who was also in the platoon photo to Mr. S____ (from Washington). Neither knew the other was attending the events. They had not seen each other  in 60 years!!

Not only did your photograph capture a special moment it also created some.

Thank you

Hi Richard,

I just want to compliment you on your timing with the “flash-in-the-pan” shot at the Crysler Farm on July 13th.  I was to your left that day, outside the media section, and noticed the absolute concentration you employ when working.

At first I was sure that the amber “flash-in-the-pan” was a skilled Photoshop effect, but after examining it closely, I realized that only burning and luminance levels were involved.  Well done!

Best regards,
Tracy W___
