"Ernst was a bride's dream. He was superb! Friendly, accommodating, trustworthy and so professional. I think when we first spoke I told you that the work of yours I had seen is stunning. I can now vouch that the stunning part starts with the photographer from within and is simply projected through the lens." Jennifer Shadur
