To Whom It May Concern:
As a soon-to-be bride, I heard all the same horror stories about wedding plnanning that we all do. I was planning a wedding long distance and going on faith with a lot of things. Photography is such a crucial part to one's wedding and once I saw what was out there, frankly, I was discouraged! Then I heard, from a friend, about Conant Studio. Ted and Cheri at Conant Studio were an answer to my prayers. They were so professional and well-informed and at the same time personable and easy to talk with. I had some major changes to my wedding about halfway through my engagement, which caused a great deal of stress for me. When I called to discuss the changes withTed, he gave me the reassurance and security that I needed at such a stressful time. He was flexible, trustworthy and accommodating. He always returned my pnoe calls, sent receipts for each tansaction, put everything in writing and was able to show me beautiful work that Conant Studio did in the past. Other studios did not take the time or the interest that Conant Studio did in my wedding. They answered all our questions and had several of their own. They treated my wedding and all the details as if they were planning their own big day !
Once our wedding day arrived, Ted and Cheri were there to help us every step of the way. They are true professionals who have an eye for even the slightest detail. They camed equipped and prepared for anything. (At one point, Cheri even hand sewed some beads back onto my shoe after they had fallen off!) I felt that Ted and Cheri were more than photographers at our wedding, they were our friends.
I knew our wedding photos would be great, but I was not prepared for what we saw when we received our album in the mail a few weeks later. Conant Studio captured each and every moment of our wedding witha style and greace that is unparalleled. Ted and Cheri didn't miss a beat, and they did it with subtlety and class that I think only they can provide. They were able to capture the traditional wedding photos and also photo images with a more modern, creative style. The photos were arranged in the album chronologically so it really tells the story of our day, moment by moment. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and am sure that all couples that choose Conant Studio will be just as thrilled

Dear Ted and Cheryl,
Thank you for your part in making our wedding day exactly as we had expected.
From the time we started working with you, we both felt very comfortable leaving the photography in your hands. But it wasn't just the photography aspect that gave us comfort. Although we didn't need to take advantage of it, we appreceiate that you and Cheryl came prepared to help us out, even if the problem that we ran into wasn't directly related to our photos.
As far as your photography is concerned, we were extremely pleased with the results. Your experience and attention to detail really do shine through in your work. An example of that comes to mind is the way you minimized glare on our family members' glasses, while keeping them in very natural poses. Many photographers would have delivered photos that would not have measured up to the standard you set.
Your demeanor also made things much easier for us on a very stressful day. We definitely appreciated your relaxed approach towards our photos. When you plan your own wedding, you are constantly being pulled in many directions, and you are worried about whether or not things will go off the way they were planned. This causes lots of stress. The way you handled things - efficiently, but at a very relaxed pace - made it much easier for us to relax and enjoy our day.
We would be thrilled to recommend you to anyone who is in need of wedding photography, and your potential customers can feel freee to give us a call anytime with questions if need be.
Thanks again !
Sincerely,
Brian and Jennifer Chaltry
This is a consumer review written on Merchant Circle by Chris Tarmann of Tarmann Photography in Oshkosh, WI
Chris writes: " Last year Ted and his wife took the photos for my wedding, a once in a lifetime event, and I could not have been more pleased with the photogrpahy. Ted and Cherie both have a spectacular point of view on all the wonderful moments that take place during a wedding. They come to the wedding prepared for any disaster to happen, with a solution. Ted and Cherie are both very professional and wonderful people to work with. My wife and I could not have been more happy with all the wonderful images and the album which told the whole story of our wedding. I give Conant Studio 5 stars because they truly have a great business and take great pictures, making memories so that you can never forget. If you are looking for someone to take the photos of your wedding I would suggest Coant Studio because you can't trust anyone else to capture the moments that happen only once."

Wedding Memories:
Ted and Cheryl took photos at our wedding. I wrote a review a while ago but now it has been a couple years and I just want to explain how truley impressed I am with the overall experience of having Ted and Cheryl as our wedding photographers. Recently I was looking through my wedding album and realized that no other photography business would have captured the exact moments and expressions that were captured at my wedding. I could not believe how perfect the memories. The album tells the story of my wedding from start to finish. The memories are fantastic. I just wanted to thank Ted and Cheryl again for the most excellent photography that they provided my family, my wife, and I. I am so pleased that you were able to come and enjoy and capture the special moments for my wife and I during the day that we will only experience once. It is very exciting to know that we will never be able to forget the memories captured. Thank you very much for everything. Chris Tarmann
******PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTE ******
What these clients are talking about when they say "we come prepared for any disaster", "came prepared to help us out, even if the problem that we ran into wasn't directly related to our photos", "they came equipped and prepared for anything", is what we call our emergency kit. It is filled with lots of things from smelling salts to nylons, antacids, advil, safety pins, hair pins, and many more things to numerous to mention. We feel if we can help solve even the smallest of stress, you will not only look relaxed in your portraits you will be relaxed, as well as enjoying your day,
