Hi Stefan,
Just wanted to thank you again for our wedding at Webersburg on 7 Feb.
I love your Tottenham Court Rd Tube pic! I will defintely vote for that one (it portrays commuters in London so well, they almost look trapped in a cage! ha ha!)
Regards,
Phil

Got this email from a reader last week:
Hi Stefan and Andre
I’m a student at the Aleit Academy . I’ve been browsing through supplier websites and I would just like to let you know that I really like your website. The music really sets the mood and the slide show is beautiful.
My favourite part of the site is the blog section! It really kept me busy.
Congratulations on being nominated for the Profoto People’s choice awards, I’ll be sure to go and vote for my favourite…I like the Pierre of St Tropez one…
I am starting a short course on photography next week and your photos really inspire me so now I am even more excited!
Kind Regards
Chantal du Plessis

Hi Stefan (and Niki)
I meant to email you earlier to thank you again for the wonderful photos. They are really special and loved by all. I was just looking through you site and came across the ‘clown’ competition photo that you took (13th Feb). The photo is taken across the road from where I work. What a small world. If I had known you were in the neighbourhood I’d have invited you in for cuppa. Hope that life is treating you and your lovely family well. Wishing you all the best for the coming year.
Kind regards
Lilian and Haydn (got married on 13th December).
