These nice words are from Jenny & Josh McDonald:
“We have all been there: spent countless hours on meaningless dates hoping that the person across the table rambling aimlessly about their pet, job or ex while indulging in copious amounts of alcohol may somehow be the one. And then somehow it all comes together and you find yourself lost in the existence of one special person. You date for an extended period, consolidate addresses, and ultimately make the most important commitment that two people can make in their lives.
All of these incremental life moments crescendo to a single day dedicated to celebrating this union and you have one shot at capturing these moments and there is no one person better suited for the job than Sol Neelman.
A wedding day can be the most stressful and nerve-wracking day of your life, but it can also be one of the most honest and carefree celebrated days of your life. Sol’s ability to become one with your wedding experience yields some of the most amazing life moments, complete with expressions and physical configurations that a “canned attempt” cannot capture.
This no-frills, let’s-make-magic-without-you-worrying attitude is contagious. His anti-paparazzi style lends itself to stealing special moments that otherwise would never become recognized.
He was as much of the wedding party as our loved ones, spending the entire wedding weekend with us, shooting photos all along the way.
Our wedding asked a great deal from Sol, who traveled across state lines the day after Christmas despite a crazy snowstorm. When we greeted him at the airport and asked how his travels were, he presented his familiar greater-than-life smile and responded with “slam dunk!”
We shopped the marketplace for wedding photographers, thoroughly completing our due diligence and we want to share Portland’s Best Kept Secret with all of you:
Let your search start and end with Sol Neelman.”
