Client Reflections
From a Bride / Wedding held
on March 1, 2008 Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
I sent the link to the wedding slides to Eleanor. I just had
to share with you what she said. Actually, I have now received
4 emails where she has just gone on and on about the slideshow…
“Oh my oh my oh my. I cried through the whole
presentation (slideshow) for the
sheer beauty of it. In fact, when it was of the family, and you and
Mark were there Cathy, I couldn't SEE you, or what you were wearing
or
anything for the tears. I will see that again, many times over and
when I calm down, I 'll give you a call or write to you.
That was out of this world beautiful. I have to laugh, as someone
is
coming at 9, (it is 8:45 a.m.) and my face is puffed up and my eye
makeup smeared.
What am I going to tell them? "Oh, I always cry at weddings."

Micaela Bensko’s photography captures the true spirit of
each person she photographs. She is especially great with children,
and being a mother herself, she has great patience and her pictures
bring out the natural beauty of the moment. The end result is a
set of images that become memories for life. Leana

Micaela was an ultimate pleasure to work with, very professional
and friendly. She not only made us feel comfortable and at ease on
the wedding day but months prior and following the wedding. She has
always been very responsive and attentive to our questions and needs.
Her work is extraordinary and her craftsmanship cannot be beat. We
are proud to recommend her and will do so to any of our friends,
family, acquaintances, etc.

Micaela Bensko was great!!!!!! Excellent, in fact; She was not only
extremely professional - on time, great photos, she did exactly what
she said she would on time and on budget but she went above and beyond
what we asked for. She gave us extra time, extra prints and most
importantly she was kind and warm and very patient with us - at a
very stressful time. She has a great eye and an even greater heart
- she was great and we highly recommend her for any event!!!!!

Micaela captured our wedding more beautifully, joyfully and intimately
than we could have ever imagined. The pictures are stunning, and
every guest has a new candid self-portrait now if they desire! You
should book her while you can!

You are truly a gifted artist and I want to thank you for taking
such amazing photos of my family. I have been watching the slideshow
again and again for an hour. I will forever cherish Sasha’s
little hand wrapped around her father’s finger, and Livvy’s
genuine interest in the anatomy of a rose pedal. Cora’s timeless
gaze is priceless. Every picture captures perfectly the people
I so love in all of this world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Though we'd met for the first time on the day of our shoot, it felt
like
Micaela was an old family friend. There was an immediate comforting
warmth about her. None of us needed any reassurances, as we fell
into
our natural behavior — and she was simply there to document
it. The
photos were proof of her skill and sensitivity, they turned out so
natural and truly reflective of who we are as a family. Thank you
Micaela, for the beautiful cherished memories you've created for
us.

Having my picture taken is something I rarely let happen. I never
feel that a photo captures human spirit the way personal contact
can. Micaela proved me wrong! From beginning to end she makes you
feel safe and secure to be yourself, to the point that you just
forget there is a camera there. What a joy and delight to play
dress up with her! I can’t wait to do it again! MF

Micalea put me completely at ease…her presence is so positive
and gentle that after awhile you almost forget that she’s there
in the room with you. You only know that you’re really enjoying
yourself…and all the while, she’s capturing it. I’m
one of those people that feel like I have three arms when I’m
in front of a camera…but not with Mic. Her guidance soon alleviated
any on-camera awkwardness I might have felt. She has the rare gift
of becoming almost invisible and because of it I could totally relax
and be myself. You know how a relaxed magic can happen when you get
that rare moment to enjoy a good book and a cup of tea by yourself,
or you sneak a private 15 minutes to dance to your favorite music
all alone? My afternoon with her felt like that…only she’s
there with you, getting the best of it on film. …kind of
like having your own personal angel in the room with a camera.

Micaela, Oh my goodness! I love the video. It is so beautiful!
Who would of thought all the chaos and laughter that was going
on in that room could look so sweet and loving, calm and sensible!
We have been reminiscing about the wonderful time we had and how
thankful we are we found you as our photographer. We appreciate
all your hard work and your ability to “go with the flow” with
our crazy families! And of course us :0) You were helpful in so
many ways. You are fabulous my dear :0)

Mic-
OH MY GAWD!!!!!! The pictures are incredible, words cannot describe.
After I stopped crying I was able to do a mass forward emailing to
everyone I know. Gosh they came out great! Now, if I want to do birth
announcements using a picture how do I do that, can you help me with
this task? Email me when you are free. You are the best photographer
in the world, nobody is better than you....NOBODY!

Micaela, …we just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our
hearts for the most amazing slideshow that we could have envisioned.
We sent it out last night and thus far, everyone has given the same
response,..they cried…There could be no bigger compliment
to you in what you are trying to accomplish. Pat and I thought
you were the best.
Thank you so much, talk to you soon,
