Testimonials

Very Professional, best around Delaware!
By Yahoo! Reviewer
"David Koster operates a very professional photography business here in the Rehoboth Beach, Delaware area. He is one of few CPPs in Sussex County and he was able to help us out in a moments notice. The results we have experienced are surpassing when compared to some of the other photographers we have used in the past. His pricing is very reasonable and he even offered us a discount for our family portrait! I would definitely be more then happy to use his professional services, and on my personal recommendation I would suggest that you trust your frozen moments in time, in his hands. He even has a professional home studio which various works are displayed, and as a Yahoo! Reviewer, I give this professional photographer an A++".

• "Dear Dave, Thank you for the beautiful portraits you took of us last week on the beach! And for your patience, understanding and time, we're so very appreciative. As I had stated when we first spoke, we are definately going to order the 100 holiday greeting cards. The photos you took were far beyond our expectations and are so perfect."
With sincerity and appreciation, Nancy and Craig Polinchock - Danburg, CT

• " Hi David - The photos just came today in the mail. They are BEAUTIFUL. We are are thrilled with the results. Thank you so much for making our family look so wonderful and for finding a way to make our photos happen despite the near constant rain! Best wishes" Lisa Dowdell - Arlington, VA

• "Hi Dave, Hope all is well. I miss the beach! I was talking with my mom this morning and she mentioned that she and my dad were able to meet with you yesterday regarding their choice of photos. She said my dad was very pleased with the way the photos turned out. I, too, am very happy with the results and I'm excited to get the final copies so I can frame them and display them. Thanks again for your expertise, your patience and for making this a memorable experience for my family, for Enrique and for me! (You have to admit that the "Mike-N-Ike" treats were the best part!!)" Take care, Judy Polinchock - Union, NJ

• "Hi Dave, You really did put us on your website! Thanks, I'll tell all the family and friends to check it out. We love the photo...can't decide whether to hang it at the beach house or our permanent home where we can see it all the time. I think I've told you this before, but again...your website is really great! Look forward to working with you again." Best regards, Jean, Dave, Charlie and Reba - Elkton, MD

• "David, On behalf of myself and the students and parents of the Academy, thank you for the amazing photo shoot you did for our "Dance Showcase 2004". The quality of the photos is superb and I have received numerous compliments on them. Thank you also for making the students feel so comfortable around you; it helped make the process go smoothly. Not to mention the efficiency in getting the photos back to me so that I could give them to the parents prior to our performance. Your timeliness was appreciated by all. Lastly, thank you for the posters that you created for Sussex Dance Academy. I have already matted and framed them and they look great! Your passion for your art is reflected in your work and I look forward to working with you again in the future." Thank you, Kate Downes Walker Director - Sussex Dance Academy

• "Thanks David! They really came out great." Dodi Bass - Potomac, MD

• "You did a great job on the photos! My husband was thrilled that the whole process was relatively painless. We all laughed about the body sandwich shot, but it really was a very attractive photo. There really were no duds. I've been showing the proofs and several people have asked for your number. We were amazed at how quickly the light changed and how the colors were so dramatically affected. So glad we're not the hillbilly family like our Washington photograph portrayed us." Thanks again, Lee Miller

It is a great picture! Lots of people take pictures of her whenever she wears that American flag silk. She even got her picture in our county newspaper this past summer! I wonder if her pic made it in the Phila. Inquirer.... Thanks for posting a great pic!" Gabriella Carney

For now I'm telling them Photos In The Sand but, I'd love to be able to give them one of his cards. Thanks so much & I will talk to ya soon." Bobbi - Oceanview, DE

• "Dave: I haven't had time to find your e-mail address from the messages we exchanged, but I wanted to let you know we received the proofs last Thursday and that we're really pleased with them!! It is a pleasant problem to have several to pick from instead of having to try to pick one where we look the least bad. We plan to start the elimination process and get our order in very soon. In the meantime, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know they're here and how happy we are with the results of your work. We've already been telling everyone about our good experience - there are a lot of people who are interested but have never taken that first step, so we're pointing them in your direction. We'll get the order form completed and to you as soon as possible - if we don't exchange e-mails until then, I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!
