Seattle Seahawks  

"Brian has demonstrated superb artistic skills in four years of website work for both the Seattle Seahawks and the team's international booster club, the Sea Hawkers. Brian has employed super creative ability to produce impressive designs that we have used for Seahawks.com and offered to our fans as downloads for screen-savers and web site wallpapers.

Brian is diligent and dependable. When we ask for design alternatives, his response has always been immediate and his artwork is right on the mark."

“I was always impressed with Brian's ability to make the computer come to life. His fine attention to detail and excellent organization skills contributed to his success as a web artist. We both represented the Seattle Seahawks from an artistic standpoint and it was reassuring to see someone so dedicated to not only his work but to the Seahawks organization.”

"As the owner of Seahawks.NET I have seen a lot of fan sites come and go through the years. Brian's creative work and designs for both fan site's and the team's official booster organization has easily stood out above the rest. Brian has an excellent eye for user-interfaces, is extremely organized and has been able to seamlessly complete any task with ease. Brian would be a smart hire for any project large or small.”

"I hired Brian in 2000 to design a website for our corporate online presence. From start to finish Brian was extremely creative and understood exactly what we wanted and what we needed without us having to say much. His work was always on time and according to our requirements and his design efforts were top notch. His skills as a web designer are amazing and his communication and professionalism mirrors that of what I look for from employees I hire for our company."

"Thank you for volunteering as our photographer for the Light The Night 2005. In this day and age it is very rare for professionals to donate their time and talents as often as you do.

Your photographs were amazing and you captured the essence of our event by including great candid shots as well as group photos. Through your pictures we will be able to put a storybook together for our event from start to finish.

Our event is attended by many blood cancer patients. Since our walk has taken place, we have had two participants lose their battle to cancer. Their families have contacted us about getting copies of pictures you had taken of their loved one  at the walk. For both these families it was the last photo of them surrounding their loved one. It gives us great pleasure to provide this to our participants. You have made this possible and have given them a memory to last a life time."

Engagement Session  

"Working with Brian at our engagement shoot was like working with a close friend. He made us so incredibly comfortable and relaxed that we forgot he was there!! He has a wonderfully artistic eye for identifying and capturing special moments between people and this skill shined through in our photographs.

The photos truly blew us away. They came out beautifully and genuinely reflected our personality as a couple. From the beginning to the very end, working with Brian was a pleasure."

"In late 2005, I was performing in Manhattan and I asked Brian if he would photograph my headshots for the show. Being that it was my first "photo shoot", I was a little nervous, but Brian made me feel so relaxed and at ease.

Needless to say, the photographs came out wonderful. I really loved all the shots and had such a difficult time picking out a favorite for the show!! I feel that my portraits really captured my personality as an artist and I couldn't have been more pleased with Brian's work!!"

Kimberly Kelaher
   

"I was very impressed with Brian's professionalism and creativeness while behind the lens the day of our session. He had unique ideas for background settings and poses. The poses were natural and they helped to relax me which really enhanced our final product.

I’m anxiously waiting for the next time I see his creativeness at our next shoot."

Stan Maderich

   

"Brian captured portraits of my three children and they were presented to me as a very unique and creative mothers day gift.

I have always wanted pictures of my children all together but it always seemed to be an impossibility with their schedules.

Not only did Brian get it done, they were absolutely beautiful."

Paulette
Sweet Sixteen  

"Thank you so much for capturing the special moments of our daughter's Sweet 16.

We have been looking forward to this day since the moment Christine was born, and you really gave us photos that will keep us inspired until the day she gets married....

We can only hope you will be available when that day comes"

"Brian,
We had met several Long Island photographers when planning Josh's Bar Mitzvah and we are so glad we chose you. From the minute we hired you, Elaine and I could tell by your personality you would be more than just a photographer and the way you interacted with our guests really put them at ease when taking pictures."

Sam Bernfeld
Wedding Session  

One word simply describes what Brian was able to do for our wedding, AMAZING!

Brian surprised us with a beautiful album of photos from the day. There was not one aspect of the wedding that wasn't captured. Every single emotion, whether it was romantic, humorous, timeless or classic moments that we will never be able to capture again. Brian was able to accomplish this with truly amazing results. We are more than impressed and ecstatic with the amount of photos that were included in the album. What we found even more impressive, was that you didn't even feel his presence which gives the results of natural, original moments.

We truly feel that we have had the best possible experience with Brian and we would strongly recommend him to anyone who is searching for the perfect wedding photographer.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!"
