Tommy,

I intended to send this to you earlier—I just wanted to say thank you. I was lucky enough to attend your fantastic session at WPPI Vegas. To say that you fired me up would be an understatement. I came back to our office re-energized and ready to do some great work. I just wanted to thank you for being so helpful and sharing your great information with all of us.

It was such a nice bonus to get to meet you and talk to you about photography and of course, Boston, before Claudia’s seminar the next morning. I appreciate that you took the time to chat with me.

I started my business here in Atlanta just a few years ago, and it is always exciting to meet the “greats” in our business. I have your PictoBooks sample album prominently on my desk, and it I glance at it often for motivation and inspiration!

Thanks again for being one of my convention highlights--I hope our paths cross again one day soon.

Regards,
Ric Mershon

Hi Tommy,

I want to thank you for your "Creative Wedding Photojournalism" seminar in Las Vegas last week. Your presentation was by far one of the best I attended this year. I sincerely appreciate your desire to educate while keeping your product endorsement and selling of "wares" to a minimum. How refreshing! With your permission I will be e mailing the folks at WPPI with my recommendation to have you back next year. I am always interested in networking with fellow professionals and welcome any opportunity to do so. I would love to keep in touch.

Best Regards,

Tommy,

I just called you to ask you a technical question and you returned my call right away. I was so impressed with that and grateful that you answered all my questions. I was at the WPPI Las Vegas 2006 and I attended your seminar "creative photo journalism". I took home valuable tips and also learned a lot from your style. You were very generous with your information. You shared with us how you pack for the shoot, your techniques, how you interact with the couple and the bridal party and much more.

I bought your DVD and it was definitely worth it. Like I told you over the phone if you lived in LA, I would be your friend.

Thanks so much,
Caroline Malouf Photographer

P.S. Your website blew me away

HI TOMMY:

JUST RETURNED FROM LAS VEGAS AND WAS SO VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION. YOUR IMAGES ARE IN THE NOW GENERATION AND ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. JUST WONDERING HOW YOU PREVENT THE SOCCER MOMS FROM FOLLOWING YOU TO THE FORMALS TO CAPTURE YOUR POSING AND IMAGES FOR THEIR OWN USE.???? OR DO YOU JUST LET THEM PHOTOGRAPH ALONG WITH YOU????

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND AGAIN, ENJOYED HEARING YOU !!

Hi Tommy,

I want you to know that your presentation on Sunday evening at WWPI was very inspirational to me. I attended the convention because I was working out weather I wanted to put my focus on a Wedding photography business. After sitting in of four days of 'stuff' you pushed me over the edge. I know that I will be great at it. I am an emerging photographer who hears constantly that I shouldn't expect to make money with the camera that I have come to love. Now it will be easy to turn the volume down when those words come at me. I have a background in Marriage and Family therapy and for the past 8 years I have been working as a bodyworker (massage and aquatic bodywork) while slowly studying photography at UCLA extension. It feel that all that I have done in my life has been preparing me for this next venture.

Thank you for all that you are. I think about your few seconds of Rock Star Fantasy being projected in your show and I smile.

Well Wishes.
Sincerely, Cynthia Eddings

Hi Tommy -

Enjoyed viewing the DVD we bought at WPPI - sorry I personally couldn't go to your presentation, but I was photographing a wedding in Phoenix at the time. My fiancee & 2nd photographer Debbie really loved your program.

I noticed your "harness" setup you wear for weddings and think it's a great idea. Where did you get that? I've tried some belt-pack setups, but they don't stay up when you load a few lenses. Thanks in advance for the info, and I look forward to meeting you at a future program.

Thanks!
