What our brides are saying:
 

Lucia & Joe
January 17, 2010
Jess and Marie,
I cant 't express enough how grateful I am for all you did for Lucia and I. She comes from a tough life and with your help, we all made it a special day for HER as well as the family. If you think about all the things you both have done in your life to help other people, as we all should, this should be on the top. I have a lot of respect for the both of you. Please thank the staff for me, and the wonderful job they did. I owe you one Jess and Marie, if there is anything I can do for you or your family please let me know. Don't forget Jess I am an electrician by trade and have lots of experience if you need anything at home or at work.
Gratefully,
Joe (January 17, 2010)
   

Sara & Andrew

Hi Jess and Maria,
I simply don't know where to begin. Let's start with THANK YOU! Our wedding could not have been more beautiful, or have gone more smoothly, and it was all thanks to you and the naturally beautiful Pinecrest! From start to finish, I never doubted that we had picked the most perfect spot for our wedding, from the moment I first saw the chapel and asked, "Where do we sign?" to the time I left with my new husband and took one last look at the place I'll remember forever. Maria, your easy calm is contagious, your head for details is unparalleled, and I'll never be able to thank you properly. Not just anyone could get my family organized! And Jess, I have you to thank for adding magic to the day. I can't believe you remembered everyone's names! I never thought getting photos taken could be so much fun, but you and Maria are so relaxed and flexible, that the entire process was as well! I am so looking forward to seeing the photos (I know they'll be simply gorgeous) and reminiscing fondly about our wedding day. Please thank Nikki, Rhonda, Toni, and Co. for their flawless service as well. The food was delicious, and the care we received was unmatched. I have been talking you up incessantly, and will continue to do so up to and beyond our 30th anniversary. Thank you a million times over for the wedding that I'm sure was better than our dreams!
Yours truly,
Sara Kluka January 10, 2010

Jess,
WOW. Needless to say, the link worked, and W-O-W! Every single one was gorgeous and conjured up memories of a fun, fantastic, unforgettable time! Your pictures are at once breathtaking and candid: personal shots that really capture the emotion and atmosphere of our wedding. It seemed like there was a heartfelt photo of each of our family members and friends that brought me to tears, thanks to the intimacy and authenticity of your photography. Everyone looked like the best version of him or herself: happy, relaxed, and glowing with pride and joy. Andrew and I had such fun looking through them (all 513 of them!) multiple times, reliving our big day. I could not have imagined a more moving, perfect way to remember my wedding, and I am so excited for our family to see them, as I know they will feel the same way. Your eye for detail is remarkable, and your ability to capture the big picture while conveying the special individuality of everyone present is incomparable. Professional, yet intimate, formal, but relaxed: an impressive list of combinations that you manage to convey in your photos so easily, thanks to your generous spirit, creative ability, and good humor. Thank you a thousand times!
Fondly,
Sara and Andrew January 10, 2010

   

Janell & Nathan

Hi Jess,
Nathan and I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate everything you did for us. Pinecrest went above and beyond our expectations. It truly was the wedding that we had envisioned. Everyone at Pinecrest was wonderful to work with--along every step of the way. So much planning and thought goes into the wedding and it is an incredibly stressful time (especially for the bride!), but everything came together so smoothly with all the help of you and the Pinecrest staff. Looking back on our wedding, it amazes both of us how well we were treated by the entire staff. Maria held a beautiful ceremony--we have gotten so many compliments on the readings and how smoothly the ceremony went, and we truly owe it to her. Also, you were an amazing photographer. You made sure everyone understood where they needed to be and you got the perfect mix of posed pictures and candid shots. The reception was the best part of the event. The DJ, Rob, did a wonderful job--he kept the party going! He had told me he had tricks up his sleeve to make sure everyone had fun--and he was not lying! The food was fantastic and the reception hall was beautiful. Toni did a great job setting things up how we wanted them. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Pinecrest to anyone. It was a great value but does not sacrifice quality. Everything came together so beautifully! People have told us that it was obvious that tons of thought and planning went into our wedding (which is true), but things would not have turned out so well had it not been for all the help from you and Pinecrest. You have a top-notch business! Thank you again for the beautiful memories!

October 10, 2009

Jess,
Christine and I would like to thank you for an unforgettable evening. Everything was what Christine had imagined since she was a little girl, and for that I am forever grateful. From the moment we stepped out of the limo we were treated with the utmost respect. The chapel was immaculate and everything was perfect. The staff was very professional and had many positive compliments on their behalf. The food was amazing and Rob the DJ was one of the best I have ever witnessed Thanks again for everything and we cant wait to see our pictures, we know they will look amazing!
Sincerely,
Ryan and Christine Symons, Ocotber 10, 2009

Jess-
Ryan and I wanted to thank you so much for helping make our wedding so amazing. Like most girls I have been thinking about my wedding since I was little, wishing and hoping it to be the most perfect day, and I couldn't have asked for anything better! Maria, Toni did such an fabulous job making sure everything was perfect. And Jess, the pictures are beautiful! Our guest keep calling us and raving about how beautiful Pinecrest is. They loved the food, the atmosphere and LOVED Rob! What a great DJ! We know you do hundreds of weddings a year but you make your guests feel like they are the only one that matters. Thank you to your staff, who gives such great personal attention and attention to detail. Everything went so smooth, Ryan and I had no stress! We appreciate everything, and thank you so much!

Dear Maria and Jess,
I wanted to thank you both for providing us with a perfect and magical wedding. The ceremony performed by Maria was beautiful and touching. Even my staunch Catholic family was quite surprised and impressed. The pictures you took, Jess, are amazing. I have to say, this was the part I was a little petrified about because I hadn't really seen much of your work. But the whole "pictures included" was too much of a bargain to pass up! I was so worried about it, I had many of my relatives with camera's in hand who promised to be "backups." The many, many pictures that you provided turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. Jess, I think you really captured the spirit and emotions of the day. Thank you!! The grounds were lovely and everything ran like clockwork. I really appreciated all the time you both took at the run through, the rehearsal and the many phone calls that you returned. I am sure that by the time I get to my fourth daughter's wedding, I will be a pro. But, since it was my first time being a "mother of the bride," I know that I bugged you all with my many questions. You were very patient and you both have a calming effect on nervous moms and brides! Also, please thank Nikki as well. Everyone raved about how wonderful the food tasted. We have some big and picky eaters and they couldn't have been more pleased. I think everyone was surprised that buffet food for a large crowd could be so delicious. Many of our guests were from other parts of the country and they remarked that this was one of the nicest weddings that they have ever been too. I think Pinecrest has a real "Colorado" feel to it and I am so, so happy that we choose your venue rather than a boring old ballroom at some hotel. Your staff was super accommodating as well. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone who might be considering your unique and special grounds for their very special day. Thank you again for a most perfect day!
Sincerely,
Karen (October 9, 2009)

Wow Jess!
Thank you so much! They turned out beautiful! I had no idea it would be that many pictures!! You have both our permission to use us. Thank you so much for everything Jess! You, Maria and all of your staff made it a wonderful experience!! I am so sorry for being impatient about the pictures! I was just overly excited and thus overly pleased now! Thank you so much for everything you did for us once again. I hope your son is feeling better and that your daughter had a wonderful homecoming! May God Bless you always, Sincerely,
Joshua and Brittany Gibson (October 3, 2009)

Jess,
Hey there! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I just wanted to first of all, thank you for an AMAZING experience! Everything from the setup and preparation, to the pictures and food were more than what we expected! You and Maria were just so easy to work with and we truly appreciate all of the extra effort you both put forth! Looking back, we really did have the time of our lives and you and your staff had a HUGE part in making our dream come true! It is a wonderful thing to say that my bride had the wedding that she has always dreamed of - so thank you for providing us that satisfaction! In response to your inquiry pertaining to references, the answer is YES - we would love to give you a formal testimony summarizing what a wonderful time we had! Feel free to use us as a reference for prospective couples to contact as well! I give you my permission to release my email address or phone number to anyone that would be interested in speaking with us! Also note that I will continue to refer you guys to our friends and family in the future! Let us know how that process works! A couple things: First of all, the pictures turned out AMAZING! We received our DVD and appreciate the wonderful presentation of the media! . The picture website works wonderfully and we were able to forward the pictures to our family and friends. How long will they be available online?? One more thing, please consider giving your DJ a
raise :) ! He absolutely blew us away with his service! I can't tell you how many people commented to us on just how FUN the reception was!!! He truly made our night! So again, thank you for an AMAZING experience that we will never forget!
Best wishes,
Neal Bohnen (October 2, 2009)

Hi Jess,
The pictures are amazing! They all turned out so well. Our wedding was wonderful and such a great day. I have received so many compliments on Pinecrest and the staff. Everyone I've spoken with just loved it. Josh and I would be happy to be a referral. Thank you to you, Maria and the staff for making our day go by so smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better day.
Thank you!

Jess,
We are very pleased with the work you did- not to mention so very pleased with everything at Pinecrest. I can't think of one thing that I would have changed. I have so many vivid memories and was glad to see that the pictures added to that- I especially love the "1st dance" to Bob Seger's Old Time Rock & Roll- lots of smiling faces. We, of course, didn't get to see the rings begin passed so found those especially touching. Thank you! Even before we saw these, we agreed we want to be a reference for you--and have already been talking you up! Feel free to add us to your list if anyone needs to talk with some satisfied customers before they decide. Once again, thank you to everyone at Pinecrest for a memorable day!
Sue & Paul (September 12, 2009)

Christine & Kevin
Thanks Jess!
AWESOME pics and fun creative ways you changed them! You all were great to work with and were wonderful! I do have amazing friends I must say-God has richly blessed me relationally and in so many other ways too! I was disgusted that we didn't have you stay the whole time. :( Your camera was much better, but at least the main stuff was with yours. Was going to have you stay and then spaced when you sid you were leaving-so much going on! Of course you can use us as a referral-we will rave over you! If there is a special pic that I would like changed, like fuzzed a little, could you do that? We saw them today and loved them all, you are so creative! Kevin and I want to invite you and Maria for dinner at our home some time... if you would like! I know you have kids, and it may be hard to get away! You were so wonderful and are great people, thought it would be fun and wanted to bless you!
Blessings,
Christina (September 6, 2009)

Jess,
We just looked at the pictures and all we can say is WOW! They are everything we hoped for and so much more. The little things you caught like our dance with my mom's picture in the background means more than anything to me. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for understanding the needs we had and the memories we wanted. You gave us the moments we have waited 8 years for. Thank you to you and your staff for making that day all it could be for us.
All our love,
Erin & Chris (August 30, 2009)

Dear Jess & Maria,
We can not begin to thank you or tell you enough how wonderful our wedding was. You and everyone on your staff was just phenomenal! Jess, the pictures were beautiful and truly captured what we wanted them to. Maria, you were a pleasure to work with and thank you for all your help with our ceremony music and other details. Dayna, Niki and Toni were also just wonderful to work with and everything they did was just perfect! We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was, how professional and courteous the staff was and that the food was by far the best food they had ever had at a wedding! You guys were so flexible and we appreciated you working with us through all our little hiccups and last minute changes! We were so impressed with how everything went and we just can't thank you enough. It was everything we ever wanted and MORE! Please feel free to use us as a reference as we would absolutely recommend the Pinecrest to anyone! You guys were the best! Thanks again for everything!
