Wedding and Reception Location: Eagles Nest, Banner Elk, NC

"Ivan, although this "thank you" is a bit delayed, Sara and I wanted to send along our sincerest thanks for your effort, time, and professionalism in documenting our wedding. Sara and I (along with innumerable other guests) have commented on how your photography truly captured the essence our day. To have a photographer equally as committed to documenting our wedding as we were in planning our big day, was truly a blessing. That is to say . . . that your still shots of the event will forever recount our day in the way that we chose to remember it. Your significantly exceeded our expectations in every respect. We're having a difficult time deciding which shots to frame and display in our home!

Thanks so much for the way in which you conduct your profession; we will forever be grateful! The candids, the posed, the impromptu ... all the photos were incredible!

Peace and Thanks! Alan and Sara (Bennett)."

"Thank you so much for capturing our day! The pictures are wonderful and will be something we will always cherish! We also wanted to say thank you for how great you did with our huge wedding party and all the great shots of the kids in the wedding! You were great around everyone and we couldn't thank you enough for being so calm and patient taking our pictures and making everyone feel so relaxed. We had so many comments on how great our pictures were and how respectful our photographer was, most people didn't even know you were around which enabled us to get truly "candid" shots! We will be able to enjoy our pictures for a lifetime! Thank you so much! - Ella"

My husband does not like having his picture taken and was not looking forward to all the wedding photos. Ivan made him feel so very comfortable. Every one of our pictures together turned out so wonderful. He made us both feel so special on our most special day. He captured so many wonderful moments in such a perfect way. We definitely know we chose the Best photographer for our wedding!! Thank You Liam Photography! Jennifer and Braden Lloyd"

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PHOTOGRAPHING OUR WEDDING! All the photos were soo beautiful and oustanding. You were so thoughtful in some of the shots you took and made everything (including me) feel and look beautiful. You captured some of our sweetest moments and in your photos it looked like you could catch some of what we were seeing with our own eyes that day. Your presence was remarkable you made us feel easy-going and loose and not stiff and poised. It was like you were family, you joined in so well. The photos are so gorgeous and we absolutely love them. We've put many in frames and put one on our Christmas card and have recommended you to everyone we know.

We will have these forever and will cherish them. A million thanks to you and Robyn too for all your beautiful pictures, kindness, and hard work! (Gosh you were so fast getting those back to us, that was awesome!) If there's anything we can ever do for you, don't hesitate to let us know (raves? recommendations? more?) Seriously, we just can't thank you enough."

"Ivan was very professional. Even though he had had a leg injury a few weeks before my wedding, he didn't let that stop him. He and his assistant flew around the entire day capturing everything. We have hundreds of photos to remember that day, and whats most impressive is that he was never in the way. He was always in the background, not attracting any attention but still managed to capture it all. He was a very personable man, and tried his best to capture every moment of our day! We would use him again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Great Job Ivan!"

"Thank you so very much for being a part of our wedding. Often times during the planning process we often felt unsure of who to chose as a vendor because we felt so inexperienced on the decisions we were making.  We are so extremely glad that we chose you.  Your spirit is wonderful, Brianna was great to work with as well.  If you ever need any sort of reference or recommendation, we would be glad to provide you with one. - Leslie"

"We used Ivan of Liam Photography for our wedding. He did an excellent job and he has a great personality. He takes the pictures you want, plus catches those shots that you might not think about. He told us that he likes to tell the story of your day through the pictures and he did exactly that. Everyone who has seen the photos ask which one is your favorite and we say it's hard to choose because we love them all. We would highly recommend Ivan for any photo opportunity."

"I had the priviledge of working with Ivan at a wedding recently and he was so incredible. His smile never ceased an he made the bride and groom feel so at ease. He was everywhere yet, hardly noticeable. I couldn't believe some of the places I saw him getting shots from. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and look forward to the next wedding we will share. - Linda"
