More Rave Reviews

Posted on May 27, 2008

This beautiful message came to me this morning.. I wanted to pass it along with everyone. It was from Casey and Brady’s wedding. They are so great!

 

“Hi Don,

Toby and I just watched DVD of the wedding that you produced for the first time and we want you to know that it is FABULOUS. We can’t wait to get you a referral.

The combination of the pictures and the music is so well coordinated, the selection of the music perfect, the sequences a veritable revival of the event…

 

Once again, we 100% enjoyed experiencing the wedding once again, thanks to your creative skills.

Thanks for everything,

Lew.

 

PS. Funny enough. They turned me on to the soundtrack of “Juno”, it really is great and I’m actually listening to it right now! They used “all I want is you” for their first dance.

Testimonial Rave Reviews

Posted on May 13, 2008

OK, I’ve had a few of these testimonials and saved them.. Not totally sure where to put them on a website.. So… Here they go into the blog. Have fun :-)

———-

Hi Don,
Thank you so much for the email and the wonderful experience with
our photo shoot. We absolutely love our pictures, and we’re going
to have a hard time narrowing down our favorites. We especially love
the picture of the heart shaped tree. It looks so magical! We’re so
glad to have found such a talented photographer like you for our engagement
photos. Thanks so much again for being so great to work with and for taking
such great pictures too!

Take care~
-Carol & Daniel
—————————————-

Your wedding day can be both the most intimate and the most unsettling
day of your life. We were lucky to have Don Norris there to keep a cool
head in the face of whining relatives, to exude calm even when we were way
behind schedule, and to capture every laugh and tear along the way. The
pictures are just like Don: both artistic and personal, simultaneously
exuberant and serene. Don is an expert at capturing the moment you will
want to remember forever–even if you don’t realize it at the time. He
also has a knack for transforming an ordinary scene into an extraordinary
backdrop. For us, it was a nondescript wall fronting a traffic jammed Los
Feliz Boulevard. Looking at our pictures you would have thought we were on
a remote Greek island or an alley of some forgotten Italian village. Some
of the shots even seem to come from another world. You simply won’t find a
better photographer or a better person.

-Nira Geevargis – Nira and Daniel
—————————————-
Testimonial:

The thing about Don is that not only is he a phenomenal photographer,
but he has such a incredible way of being with his subjects, whether
young, old, friends or family that he is able to capture them at their
most expressionistic and honest before you even realize he

Meat for Charity

Posted on May 8, 2008

No, I’m not talking about actually donating meat for charity… It’s the Annual Meat Eater’s Ball held at the Creative Artist Agency’s (CAA) building. The Event raises money for charity by having the guest buy tickets for this great feast of meat (BBQ Ribs and Chicken mostly with sides). I found even a few vegetarians in the mix as well in support of the cause.

It was a great success. About 700 people I heard attended. Everyone was talking business, making contacts, eating, drinking & socializing and all for a great cause. The event raised $22,640 for the BizWorld Foundation which teaches kids the basics about business, entrepreneurship, money management and promotes leadership and teamwork in the classroom. (Wow So Important)

See All the Pictures Here
(If the link doesn’t work You can also find it in my “Weddings and event” page under “Find Event”)

Here are a few Selects:
