I arrived at the studio yesterday to find a thank-you card from Phil & Kirrilee Mackenzie – it changed not only my day but made me reflect on what I get to do as a photographer. How lucky I am. How very lucky I am.
Here is the note that had such an effect:
Dear Andrew
It’s very hard to find the right words to express how very grateful we are for everything you did to contribute to the most amazing day of our lives. You are the one who captured our memories of the day and how perfectly you did that! We wanted to feel comfortable with our Photographer and from our very first meeting we knew that you were perfect for us!
You have a way of making everything soooo easy and natural, not pressured or forced and most of the time we didn’t even know you were there!
Our bridal party has nothing but high praises for you also, and that was important to us that they were just as comfortable with you as we were. Every single shot was awesome and we would have loved to have put them all in our album, so with your help (thank God) we came to our final selection and our album is unbelievable!!
We will never go anywhere else other than Impact Images for all our photography needs. We will recommend you to everyone (although we’re pretty sure you have already photographed everyone we know anyway!!)
We are forever in your debt for being the person that will continue to bring our day to life everytime we look at your beautiful images.
All the very best and many, many thanks

Thank you both for the beautiful note and for taking the time to put pen to paper – you really have reinforced just why I love doing what I do so much. I smile at the thought of you sharing your memories and photos with family and friends over the next 60 years and having been a part of that. I hope to see you soon and being able to capture small snippets of your life as your family grows.
All the best
Andrew
Hey Andrew,
We received your voice mail the other evening and we’re glad that our thank you note mean’t enough to you that it ended up on the blog! There isn’t much more we can say, because we have said it all above, other than you’re the best, and we will definitely keep in touch over the coming years.
Take care
