"Sometimes you just know. Like when you fall in love, pick your first apartment, decide between two jobs. We just knew when we met Miriam. Marc and I were confident that we wanted our wedding photography to be an heirloom; a narrative. It was a top priority because we heard from many couples that you walk away from the whirlwind and think, "Did we just get married? Did we even eat?" Miriam's trained eye and gift of charisma and empathy made us trust her implicitly. Her photo booth idea was outstanding. - Emily Drake (Bride)

"To the magical Duo: Thank you for making our wedding day a success. You did it craftily, creatively, spunkily, sensationally, unobtrusively, gracefully, perfectly. With awe and appreciation," Ben & Anne.
