"Clane, I can't tell you enough how happy we are with our pictures! When we started planning the wedding, the first thing I told Jessie that was the most important to me was pictures. I said I wanted to capture that day so we could look back years from now. I am so glad we chose you as our photographer! Not only did you capture the day, you went beyond that with your creative style and gave us the best wedding pictures! You were really fun to work with too! I will ALWAYS think of your name when someone is talking about hiring a photographer! So thank you again!! From, Mr. and Mrs. Napenias :)" --Andrea and Jesse

"We were very pleased with Clane as our photographer. He was very well prepared.He was also very professional in all of our dealings, but he wasn't stuffy, he made things fun and easy. Everyone at our wedding told us how much they liked him and how unobtrusive he was. We asked for very formal portraits and we got many of those, but some of the best photos are the ones he took when it seemed no one was paying attention. One of the things that I told him when we were talking with him was that I trusted him to get good shots. And he did, without a list of required poses and without me having to stress over the details of it all. I could leave it up to him with no worries. " --Elizabeth and Joe

"Clane was truly a god send. The quality of his photos is unmatched! I can't count how many people have told me that my wedding photos are the best they have ever seen. He is always quick to respond via email or phone, and is professional in a way that gave me the confidence that he knew what he was doing, while also being personable enough to make the photo shoots fun! His photographs are priceless, worth every penny. Flexibility - wow! We changed our wedding date 3 or 4 times and Clane was so flexible through it all, that when we changed the date for the final time and the location to Hawaii he stood right by us throughout it all. He was the solid foundation to my wedding planning - one of the things I knew I could count on and didn't have to worry about." --Rachael and David

"Clane is an amazing photographer and really captures the moments.  He's highly skilled and his work speaks for itself.  He is truly a master of his field". --Nicole and Brett

I hope this does not sound generic but Clane is the single most AWESOME photographer if not in this country, in the Pacific Northwest. I have been to and seen multitudes of wedding photos in my years, and Clane by far exceeded the high standard I expected of him. I can honestly say that the best decision I made regarding my wedding, with the exception of the man I choose to marry of course, was choosing to go w/ Clane for our photography needs. Everyone who sees my photos comments on how great the photography turned out, and I always make sure to pass along his info so they can try to slot him in for their big day. I absolutely LOVE Clane, I have only rave reviews about him and his work. He is so creative and shot better photos than I even imagined possible. Go with Clane, I am not kidding, you will not be disapointed! --Cara and Logan

I found Clane throug a friend at work. He had done her sister's wedding, and after seeing the photos for her wedding and his web site i was hooked! He has this unmatched style of capturing each brides unique personlity and having jump out of the picture at you. He is unconvetional in all the right ways when posing the couple to captue the moment between the two of you that best fits your personality. He was fun to work with, professional in a relaxed way that made everything so fun that you lost track of time and you stopped posing for the pictures and started being real. Thats what makes him great. He worked with us to make everything work for us. His time, effort and what your end is, is unsurpassed by any i have seen. Everyone has gone on and on about the coffee table book we got from him. How absolutly beautiful the pictures are and how they captured the moment perfectly. I can't begin to thank him. --Nicole and Zach

I could not be happier that we chose Clane Gessel as our wedding photographer. I was most nervous about the picture taking at the wedding because I hate to be in front of the camera. However, Clane made me and my fianc? feel perfectly comfortable. He had great ideas for unique and creative shots and also made sure that we were getting shots that we really wanted. He really tailored his style to fit our wants. Even during stressful picture taking moments, he stayed calm and collected and got the job done. He was great with our large wedding party and 400 guest wedding. He captured all of our key moments and we have the perfect pictures to prove it! I have had countless people comment on how beautiful and fun our photos are. I am so happy that we went with Clane for our wedding and I would recommend him to anyone that is getting married! --Kelsey and Luke

"Working with Clane was absolutely amazing! He made us feel comfortable and was a blast to work with. He truly captured every moment perfectly and we are excited to share his photos with everyone. His inventive ideas and originality has made our photos stand out from the rest. We were so happy with his service that we have already referred him to many of our friends." --Nick and Melinda

"The photos are amazing. I can't stop looking at them! Thank you for all the time and effort that went into capturing our special day. You are a very talented artist. I just can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING you've done. My family will not shut up about how awesome our photographer was. You are very talented! I would absolutely recommend you to anyone getting married. Clane Gessel you are OUTFREAKINGSTANDING!" --Scott and Harmony

We heard about Clane through a friend of ours who had used his services. He accommodated us in every way he could and more. We stumbled upon a scheduling obstacle about a month before the wedding and Clane negotiated and accommodated us so that we were able to keep his amazing services. On the big day, he felt like part of our family! He was so much fun and all the guests loved him. I have had SO many compliments on our photographs, as well. As an artist myself (and my husband has a degree in photography), we would both HIGHLY recommend his services. He has an amazing eye for candid shots and his style is so unique. We plan to keep in touch with him and now consider him a friend! --Joey and Tighe

I am so thankful we found Clane to photograph our wedding! He has an amazing passion for capturing the moment and it shows in his dedication to creating magical photos! He was so easy to communicate with for the entire year leading up to our wedding. As well as working with him after our wedding on editing and getting us all our photos in such a timely manor! We would highly recommend him to anyone trying to capture the candid true moments that only an artist could accomplish! He was amazing! --Leah and Aaron

"I am so thankful that I chose Clane to be our photographer, even though we had to change the date and location of the wedding to keep you as our photographer. I TRULY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of my pictures from the engagement photos to my wedding photos. He is awesome at what he does and it truly shows in his work!!!!!! I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. I am so happy with all of my photos from him. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!" --John and Robin

"Clane you are the best photographer anyone could ever ask for. You were very easy to work with and had many innovative ideas. I found you by a fluke, but I wouldn't have traded you for ANYONE else! You are high quality, experience, and value all at one package. Thank you, so, so much for everything you have done. It wouldn't have been the same without you!" --Dustin and Andrea

We can honestly say we could not have asked for a better photographer. From day one Clane went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfertable with the camera in our face. We have both been photgraphed before for various reasons and neither of us have ever been comfortable with it.We were blown out of the water by Clane's ability to break the ice and have a great time while still creating PHENOMINAL photographs. He not only made us happy on our wedding day and the days leading up to it, but he also hit it off with our bridal party, guests and even other vendors. We have recieved so many complements on his talent and personality since the wedding day its amazing. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to anyone, in fact we have a few friends who are planning to use him for their weddings some of which arent even engaged yet- they said they would save his information until the time comes becuase they wouldnt want to use anyone else. That in itself is a huge complement! I can go on and on about how wonderful he was and how amazing the final product was for hours and none of us have time for that so ill end it by saying you dont need to look any further for a photographer for your event- He was everything we could have wanted plus so much more! --Jeanette and Cody

Clane was extremely professional, listened and produced beautiful one of a kind photographs. We would recommend him to anyone! --Sarah and Bernard

"When Aaron and I asked Clane to photograph our wedding, our expectations were set high. You met them all and went far beyond! I have never had such great service. He is easy to talk to, yet is able to give clear instruction, which allows him to get the perfect pictures. Clane captured everything I wanted and adjusted to last minute requests. I want him to know he made our special day unforgettable. Thank you Clane!" --Aaron and Holly

Clane was a wonderful photographer. His style is very creative and the quality of his pictures is excellent. I want to frame most of the pictures he took! He really captures people, and takes the time to get to know them. He is easy to work with and very professional. He did everything I asked him to do, and got me my pictures in a timely manner. I have told everyone I know about him, and I would recommend him to all of my family and close friends. Overall a fantastic experience. I'm so glad I didn't settle for anything less. --Cassandra and Ben

Clane was awesome! From the engagament shoot to the post wedding shoot it was always fun and he captured some great moments. I absolutely love all my photos and they help me to remember the beauty and the love that was at our reception. --Erica and Brad

No words can ever express how truelly AWESOME you are!" --Seona and Tim

Fred and I discovered Clane's work at our local farmer's market and were thrilled to find out he could shoot our wedding in San Francisco! He was extremely professional, a great value for the cost and his pictures are amazing! Everyone who has seen them has been really impressed by them. We are thrilled! He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and really get in touch with your style. A free engagement photo session is included and those photos turned out wonderfully also. We even used several of the engagement photos in our invitations and wedding decor! I would highly recommend Clane as the photographer for everyone's wedding. You will have unique, stunning pictures that will help you remember the best day of your life for a lifetime! --Fred and Elke
