Just viewed the pictures and was amazed at how you captured the essence of that beautiful day. Thank you Bassem for celebrating with us, you fit in like family! Everyone was very impressed.

Mat ThijssenJuly 28, 2011 - 11:11 am

I will throw Bassem’s comments right back at him–have you ever met a photographer that makes you feel right at home, who truly cares about our special day, and works tirelessly the whole time? That is Bassem in a nutshell: his energy is contagious, his humour kept our day lighthearted, and his passion for his clients and his trade is obvious from the pictures above. We are absolutely thrilled to have worked with him, and the pictures turned out incredibly well. I am truly impressed with everything! Thanks again!

The style and clarity, and composition of the shots were unbelievable.I would be so pleased if these were photos of my family.When my daughter becomes engaged, I will definitely be in contact with you. Anne

Wow!!! You have captured everything with perfection!! It was a pleasure meeting you. It was a wonderful wedding…Congrats Denisa & Emir

DenisaAugust 14, 2011 - 12:10 am

Dear Bassem…
Normally when I start and E-mail, a letter or even a birthday card I have a hard time trying to think of something to write. However, this note is very easy to write for me, I only needed some alone time to sit down and write you personally.
Emir and I cannot think of the way to thank you enough!! When we got engaged, there was a lot of things on our plate, like deciding where, when and how get married. Once we decided to have a wedding it was the easiest for me to decide who is going to capture special moments at our wedding. Following your work way before Emir and I even thought of marriage, I always dreamed of having you do my wedding photos. I remember telling Emir, OMG HE IS SO GOOD!! Days I worked at the hotel I had a lot of free time on my hands, and next thing you know I would be on your website checking out all your weddings. I don’t think that there is a photo on your website that I haven’t seen. My most favorite photo you took is that beautiful bride tearing up under her wail, you have that shot on your facebook titled “This shot makes my wife melt” well tell Lez that makes us two! You have many, many more breath taking photos that I could individually write about, but that would take me a long time because I would have so much to say about each one! Girls at work used to say to me; “Whatever you do on your wedding day, make sure you relax and enjoy every moment of it, because the day will go by so fast and you will not remember much of it”. Sure enough, THAT IS TRUE!! What I am left with is YOUR AMAZING WORK!! My family, friends and guests at our wedding have nothing but great things to say about you, and how great you are!! Thanks to photos you took Emir and I will remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!
Love, Denisa
