"We then sat and talked to Mel. We didn't just talk about photography. We talked about everything-our jobs, computers, the world, the kid's interests, etc. By the end of the meeting we were certain that we liked Mel and he liked us. How important is it to have this mutual admiration? Isn't it much easier to smile and pose for someone you genuinely like? The end result will produce beautiful pictures that reveal your personality. This is why the pictures on Mel's wall stand out. They reveal a mutual admiration between photographer and subject"

We wanted to let you know that!! .We have met several other couples who were also recently married and let me tell you-their pictures don't even compare!! The difference is really quite remarkable!! Well, we wanted to say 'Hi!!' and to thank you for preserving our wedding day for us."

"After the event, we met at Mel's studio to view the unproofs and to put together our album. We had so much fun creating the story of our son's Bar Mitzvah. Each photo was sized and positioned to portray the events as they unfolded. The end result showed the beauty, fun and warmth of our son's Bar Mitzvah. Mel certainly earned his fee In November 2001; Mel repeated his performance when he photographed our daughter's Bat Mitzvah..When choosing Mel as a photographer, you are gaining a welcome addition to your family, for our relationship with Mel goes beyond each event he is present at. He is truly our friend."

"Al and I just want you to know how much we appreciated your warmth and attentiveness on Deb and John's wedding day, as well as at our home. As you obviously realize, there is a lot of difference between a superb photographer/artist and a person who cares enough to be more than an excellent technician. You have bridged the gap admirably and you helped to make the wedding a very memorable occasion. Besides, we feel we've made a new friend. Thank you, Mel!"

"We just want to thank you for everything you did in connection with Michael's Bar Mitzvah-both at the reception and the additional picture taking. You allowed us to preserve the memories. Your pro-fessionalism of the finest quality is only exceeded by the love of your work, which is both beautiful and infectious." [Four years later, they hired us to photograph their daughter Lori's Bat Mitzvah.]
