While planning my own wedding, your magazine and website provided so much useful information. The advice section that provides firsthand tips from previous brides is fantastic. • As a photographer, I have shot many weddings, couples, teens, children, and infants. I have many candid photos that capture the intimacy and connection between two people at their wedding. I also have photos that capture special moments between couples, parent’s awestruck expressions as they hold or watch their child. I am including 15 sample photos on a disc for your review. Please feel free to keep my information and samples on file. • If you have any interest in any of my photos or wish to see more, please contact me by email or phone. I will be happy to send you more samples. • I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. • Sincerely, • Jodi Holifield
