John and Diana-
Wow. The video and slide show were just incredible stuff!!! Blew everyone away at the party on Saturday!! We got about 12 compliments on how good it looked and the music.
Thank you both so much for all of the hard work and excellence you brought to this. Couldn't have asked for better photographers and better people to have done this for us!!!
Make sure to drop me a line if you're going to be in LA, we'd love to get together with you!!!

Bula John & Diana,
Alan & Niecha just stopped by to pick up their dog and the prints I did of the photos you sent.
While they were here, they made some wonderful comments about you both; and we'd like to share them with you. They said that you were a highlight of their stay. They thought your professionalism in doing the pics/video was incredible. They loved the quality of what they've seen so far. And equally important, they very much enjoyed having dinner with you on Monday - thought you guys are a hoot; and very much appreciated your camaraderie and caring.
So thank you very much for all you've done!!!
Warm regards,

Hi John and Diana,
We hope all is well in paradise. We received our photos last night and viewed them. We are soooo happy with the images, they were so beautiful, we couldn't have asked for or imagined any better. You both did a phenomenal job capturing every detail and making it even better. We are extremely pleased that you were our photographers and very thankful you were part of our special day. You did such a great job that Carson wants to be your model :) and he doesn't like being in front of the camera. Thank you again for all your hard work.

John and Diana,
We received the 4 dvds and we are so excited! Thank you so much for all that you did! My mom is the only one so far that has viewed it with us and she said it was a great idea to put it on the dvd since no one came to Fiji with us... We can't thank you enough! Also, it is nice to see the signing of the marriage license...therefore, people will know that we really did it since Namale has yet to send it to us. We are not legally married I don't guess, and won't be if it's lost!! Who knows! We have it on video though so it did happen, it wasn't a dream.
Thanks,

Bula John!
We just got home yesterday from our 4 week vacation and ironically received the package this morning! We watched the slideshow first and I bawled my eyes out! It was absolutely beautiful, and made us feel like we were right back on the beach in Qamea! You did a wonderful job and the pictures showed the whole day so nicely; we especially loved the sunset shots - you were so right, just wait a few minutes and the sunset may get even better, and it sure did! We can't wait to show it to our friends and family. We viewed all the images and the slideshow for the first set and it worked great. We haven't had the opportunity to view the second set, but I'm sure that's just fine too. Thanks also for adding the additional song on the end - it was great to end off with a nice upbeat and fun song. I'm sure you have a ton of references, but feel free to add us to your list as well.
Thanks again, it was really fun to work with you in such a relaxing atmosphere.
Take care and all the best to you and Diana!
Vinaka, Vinaka,Vinaka!!

Dear John and Diana-
Rob and I dedicated this last Saturday to getting things done around the house- we had a lot to do and were making excellent headway- that is until the wedding video and pictures arrived. I don’t even know what to say- we loved it. It was perfect, brilliant, wonderful, just absolutely amazing.
We have watched it several times since Saturday and we cannot wait to show everyone. You did a phenomenal job of capturing the mood of Fiji. Thank you so much for everything.
Warm Regards,
Rose and Rob

John & Diana,
We just wanted to let you know that we received the wedding DVD & slideshow and we absolutely LOVED THEM!!! Now we know why you both do this for a living because you have a gift with putting things like this together. Everything just looked PERFECT and the music coordination was absolutely flawless. We loved the "slow motion" at the end... nice touch. Overall, it made us remember everything that happened on the day of our wedding. We were very touched & emotional while viewing the DVD & slideshow.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and creating something that will always bring us back to our wedding day & our stay on beautiful Qamea.

Dear John and Diana,
Chris and I would like to thank you so very much for everything you did to help make our special day just perfect.
As I’m sure you were aware we were initially concerned about not being able to meet our photographers before the wedding day as the photos were the one Big Thing I wanted perfect! This was because our main reason to have the wedding in FIJI was due to how beautiful it is there and we wanted this represented in our photos to remember forever. We were even considering flying over an Australian photographer for many thousands more than your price because we knew her and had work done by her before. However after seeing you work and talking with you over emails we decided to use bivfiji and I am so glad we did. We love our DVD - what a special piece to have that completely summarizes our wedding day and special songs, it is short enough to show our friends and family that weren’t able to make the wedding without making them endure a complete photo portfolio.
The movie is something lovely to have so that we always remember the special moments and the photos nothing less than amazing in truly capturing our magical Mana wedding.
So thank you again and we wish you both all the best
Kindest Regards
Megan and Chris

Hi John & Diana

Hey John
Wow, the photos are amazing!!! We are very very happy with your work, thank you so much. I wanted to mention how great you were on the day. We both felt very relaxed in your company and it didn't feel like there was a camera on us all day.
(Like my Mum said) you managed to capture the entire day in your shots, including every special and crazy moment . You've captured some really natural photos of us just being 'us'. The variety is great too, getting ready, the ceremony, of the beach, the sunset, at the chapel, the people, the dancing photos .. its all there !
We were really happy with the group shots you took of tables also - to be honest I didn't even notice you were still there !
Thank you !
Kind regards,
the Newly Weds !!

Bula John & Diana,
Wow! we just received our DVD's yesterday - We love them! The video was fantastic...We shed a couple of tears when we watched it, it was so beautiful. You guys did a truly amazing job, the colours and the fijian music and the way you put the whole thing together was gorgeous! It turned out even better than we imagined it would (and we knew you guys would do a great job).
We just want to say 'Thank You' again for not only the beautiful photography and video but for also sharing our day and for making us feel so comfortable on the day and sharing a few laughs. It was a lot of fun and you both were truly professional with the warmth, attention and care of good friends. We have just purchased a gorgeous wooden personalized album to put some of the best photos in and can't wait to send a few to Kelly to show off all her hard work!
You made our day and whole experience so wonderful, it will stay in our hearts forever...THANK YOU. We hope one day we will be back! :)
We love you guys!

Thanks again and best of luck with everything in the future! ~ Meghan

John and Diana,
Bula...We received the DVD's and CD's. Thank you very much for everything you both did. The Wedding movie, slide show and all of the pictures were incredible. Thanks to you both we were and are able to relive Fiji over and over again. The music choices were absolutely perfect as well as the Fiji farewell song at the end of the movie. Neither of us even realized it until watching the Wedding movie that the end of the Meke ceremony closed with the Fiji Farewell song.
The sunset pictures were unbelievable...if we weren't there to actually see the colors no one would believe it. I also can't thank you enough for fixing my ugly dog bite wound. It looked great.
Can you be here for our reception party next Saturday? Just kidding :) It would be nice though.
We hope to make a trip back to Qamea next year around the same time we hope to see you then.

We finally finished our travels and are now settled in Manly. We collected our wedding photos from our friend yesterday and we were just blown away!
You managed to capture all the images we had really wanted without us even asking for them. The photos are all beautiful and the dvd was so professional and well made. You have made us both so happy and we are so grateful to you both.
You are both priceless and worth your weight in gold!!

We just wanted to let you know that your package arrived on our doorstep first thing this morning - safe and sound.
I had a look at as much as could before work and everything looks terrific! The photos and what I saw of the video look great! Claire watched the slideshow after I came to work and she called me – crying her eyes out – because she thought it was so beautiful!
We are really happy with what you have put together and hope that you are proud of it also.
Take care and if you do end up coming down to Sydney please let us know. It would be a pleasure to take you around the Blue Mountains.

We received the dvd last week. Thanks so much, we are very happy with it. It’s great that you captured all the details of the wedding, even the food!! The sunset photos in particular are just beautiful. We’ve really enjoyed reliving the wedding through the photos and video, we’re so glad we got you to do them for us.
We hope you both enjoyed being a part of our wedding, we certainly enjoyed having you there. Many of our guests commented how friendly you were, as well as being unobtrusive. If ever we talk to anyone else planning a wedding in Fiji we will highly recommend you.
All the best for the future,

Hi John,
I'm sorry to be getting back to you so late. We were in the states and the VI when your email came in, and we just got back to Hong Kong. The DVD's arrived the day before Ray left for Tortola, so he brought them with him.
They are fantastic! We love them, you both did a great job. Thank you so much. We love the way everything was presented and put together, they capture the day beautifully. I was so happy to show it to all my family, and they were really pleased to be able to share our day with us. They all raved about the photos, the video, and the location.
Could you please make us another two sets? We would greatly appreciate it.
Again, thank you for the wonderful photos and video. We really like them and they are a lovely reminder of a very special day in our lives.
Thank you,

Bula,
Justin and I just wanted to thank you both for the wonderful job you have done at our wedding. The photos are just beautiful and the slideshow and movie are so professionally done. Everyone who has seen the photos just can't believe how beautiful everything was. The day was just so perfect I get teary when I look at the slideshow and movie.
Sorry it has taken us such a long time to thank you. We have just finished putting a timber floor in our house and are getting some new carpet in the 2 bedrooms at the back of the house. We have approx. 7 months to turn one of the rooms into a nursery because I am pregnant. I know that was quick :-) and we are both so happy.
Hope everything is going well and I will definitely recommend you both to any friends considering getting married in Fiji.

Back safely in Australia now. Had good look at the CDs...WOW!!!! We were so impressed with all the shots you took of our fantastic wedding...we can't believe you managed to get all the shots we had in mind and shoot them so well! It really is a testament to your skills and experience.
We would just like to thank you sincerely once again for your time, effort and contribution to making our day so memorable. We would have no hesitation in recommending your photographic service to others we meet who might also choose a wedding in Fiji, but we believe your work speaks for itself and we'll be showing our gorgeous album to everyone.
Take care and we hope to see your familiar face the next time we stay at J-M C Resort.
