"Dear Diane,
Thank you for your time and patience with my many phone calls
about the photos for Nicole and Dan's wedding. I also appreciated
the advice about other vendors. After seeing the engagement
photos, and how comfortable you made them feel, I know the
wedding pictures are going to be beautiful. You are an amazing,
talented, very special, gifted lady with the patience of a
saint. I continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts."
Fondly,
Colleen
"Hi Diane,
We finally had a chance to look at the wedding pictures yesterday
(we wanted to wait for a chance to view them together) and
we just wanted to tell you that we couldn't be happier with
them! You captured so much - we aren't even sure how you did
all of it! We appreciate all of your work so much. Thank you
again - we are so happy with the pictures!"

Hotel, Sonoma
"Hi Diane,
Thank you so much for the wonderful engagement photos!
We couldn't possibly be happier with them. We were so
comfortable working with you, and appreciate your ability
to capture things in their natural state (as opposed to a
seemingly less comfortable "posed" way). You
really are quite an amazing artist. Thank you so much!"
Nicole Hollis
"Diane,
We just wanted to let you know that the engagement portraits are absolutely wonderful! :) We were both really impressed with your work before the engagement session, and after seeing the pictures you took--we were blown away. You really captured a lot of our natural expressions and moments, and we both felt so comfortable working with you. Thanks so much!"
Daniel Woo
"Dear Diane,
Will and I want to thank you for your wonderful work during our wedding. We both appreciate how easy it was to work with you; in fact I imagine a sign of a good photographer is that we hardly even noticed you. Yet, looking over our fabulous photos, it is clear you were everywhere! You are fabulous at the journalistic-style of photography, and I’m glad I went that route for my wedding. The photos of our guests during the ring-passing made me cry (again!). I will treasure those shots.
Since the majority of the interaction I had with you was pre-wedding, I wanted to compliment you on your incredible communication. I received all the information I needed, and every question I came up with was answered promptly, usually the same day! You were flexible when I wanted to switch packages and have been very accommodating in getting our prints to us in a very timely fashion. I would be honored to recommend you to anyone should you ever need a reference, and you would be the first photographer I’d call if I was to need someone in the future.
Again, thank you for everything. Will and I wish you and your husband all the best with your beautiful son, Jon.
Fondly,
Lizanne Pastore and Will Bucklin"

"Hi! We just got back from our
honeymoon and spent all afternoon looking through our wedding
photos on pictage. Thank you so much - we absolutely love
all of the photos!! Neither one of us think of ourselves as
very photogenic but all of the photos are so great! I really
cannot believe you got them ready so soon. Thank you again.
It was wonderful to have you as a part of our wedding.

looks so clean cut. I am very pleased. Thank for all the hard

Colleen & Mark Albair
Private Residence, Glen Ellen
"I was pleased in every phase of the photography process with Diane Askew. She was incredibly communicative and promptly responded to my many questions in the pre-weding phase; she was fabulous at documentary-style photography--truly capturing the big moments (really seconds) with her quick finger and attentive eye. My research also shows that Diane is truly cost-competitive too. I highly recommend Diane Askew!"
Lizanne & Will Bucklin
Old Hill Ranch Vineyard & The White Barn, Glen Ellen
"Diane Askew was wonderful to work with. Her photos showed a high level of artistic composition. She had cheerful demeanor that made the wedding party relaxed and at ease. Wedding day can be stressful, but Diane made sure we didn't have any worries about the photography."
Elizabeth & Charles Pae

Jennifer & Steffen Peuker
St. Matthews Church, San Francisco
"We loved working with Diane! Before
during and after our wedding, the photography was just one
of the easiest parts to plan because of her! She was so calm,
and flexible on our big day. Soooo easy and great to work
with. Seeing the pictures on line with pictage was GREAT!!!!!
Even after the wedding, she was very helpful with getting
the prints to us in a timely manner! Thanks for the wonderful memories!
We were and are very happy with everything!"
Stacy & McKenzie Marks

"I was very pleased with Caswell
and Askew Studio. They were professional, polite, and really
cared about what I wanted. I was very happy with their services,
and would recommend them to anyone."
Julia & Paul Medrona
Villa Chanticleer, Healdsburg
"I Highly recommend Caswell and
Askew Studio. Diane Askew was Great! She is friendly, enjoyable
to work with... She helped to make our wedding fun. She stayed
in contact with us before our wedding - answering all questions
and putting us at ease. She listened to us. During our wedding
everyone felt comfortable with her. Afterward, she worked
to make sure there were no problems - the proofs look good,
we're looking forward to choosing our prints, and getting
our final pictures. We're very happy to have chosen Diane
to capture the moments of our wedding."
David & Cynthia Siskin
Depot Hotel, Sonoma
"Diane did an absolutely fabulous
job. She was easy to work with during the pre-wedding planning
stage and did a great job during the wedding ceremony. I loved
her low-key presence and her tolerance of my relatives' cameras.
And the finished photos are just perfect. The noon glare that
was evident in my family's amateur pictures is nowhere evident
in Diane's photos; her arrangements of our group photos turned
out beautifully; and the portraits of me and my husband make
us look gorgeous. Diane's prices were reasonable as well.
My family "complained," though, that there are so
many great shots that they all ended up ordering lots of photos!"
Ginni & Ezzie Michaels
Beltane Ranch, Glen Ellen
"We loved Diane Askew! She is
easy to work with, very professional and accomodating."
Jeri & Jim Goldsher
Ramekins, Sonoma
"Diane was wonderful and helped
my day go as smoothly as possible. She was better than I
could have ever hoped."
Brandy & Steven Johnson
The Congregational Church of San Mateo, San Mateo
"I would definitely recommend
Diane Askew for a wedding photographer. She was gracious,
organized and very thorough in your work - and a pleasure
to work with. She is a real professional and does beautiful
work."
Joan & Walt Rentsch
Depot Hotel, Sonoma
And, in a letter, Joan wrote to the Depot
Hotel Owner:
"The excellent references you gave us
for our photographer, musicians and florists were very helpful.
It saved us so much time. More importantly, we wanted to let
you know how happy we were with the people we selected from
your lists. It gave us a real peace of mind to know that they
were all familiar with the Depot Hotel, and that you gave
them such positive recommendations.
Diane Askew, from Caswell & Askew Studio,
was really wonderful - very professional and yet easy to work
with. She made a special effort to accomodate our preferences
and worked well with our guests. We would recommend Diane
to others without reservation, and we want you to know how
much we appreciated having her as our photographer...Wally
and I wanted you to know how much we appreciated having such
great recommendations for these wedding services. We would
certainly recommend them to others.
