"Celeste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just saw the link of our commercial.  It is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

August 26, 2009

I found Celeste Sheffey of Khoncepts online when searching for someone to scan my paper photographs onto CDs.  Her rate was much lower than anywhere else I researched.

I had a very tight timeframe and three large boxes of photographs mixed in with papers.  Celeste went through and scanned all of the photographs, burned them onto CDs, and uploaded the photos online before deadline.  

Celeste is a lovely person, very pleasant and professional, and I would enlist her help again in a heartbeat.  I recommend her without reservation!

Thank you so much for these pictures! 
Also, we watched the video last night for the first time
 (the edited one) and it is amazing! 
I am very impressed and will be sure to let everyone 
who is looking for their wedding know how pleased we
 are and have been along the way! 
Thank you for helping us make my sister's big day
 one that we will  always remember and can look
 back on!

                Celeste,

Just a quick note to thank you for the DVDs. 
We thoroughly enjoyed them and are very pleased 
with the result - what a great way of 
remembering a truly great day! 
Our parent's 50th wedding anniversary.

All the best for a wonderful Christmas
Celeste, Happy New Year!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful 
Christmas and are having a Happy New Year. 
Just wanted to thank you for the calendar that you 
put together for me. My family loved it! My son moved
 to PA and took it with him and is really happy about it. 
I gave one to my daughter and my mother. 

Blessings,
SS

Hi Celeste

I was going to call you last night, but it was 
after 10 p.m. and I knew you go to bed early.  
We watched the tape when we got off of work, 
and girl, YOU OUT DONE YOURSELF!  
The tape is absolutely beautiful.  Both the pictures 
and video are a work of art.  She is going to love it.  
Both of us said, WOW!  Its such a beautiful piece of 
work.  You lived up to your contract, plus more.  
I loved the way you put the clips together to make 
the video, you used the best parts.  Dont know how 
to thank you, other than to spread the word to those
 who may need a videographer in the near future. 
I have enough copies for my family, but I need a copy
 for his parents who dont fly airplanes s
o they couldnt come, and there are family members 
who where on the "did not show list" but 
want to see it.  How much for additional copies?

Thanks again!!!!!!!

Hi Celeste,

Just wanted to let you know how much I love the DVDs and CD. I gave Cynthia  their copies and I kept my copy. You always do great work! Thanks!!

SVS

Oh Celeste,

You did a great job on the DVDs.  I must have watched them 10 times!  It is almost 4 a.m. and I am just shutting them off and I started at 6 p.m.    My brother, Bill, came by after the club and we watched it together with his girlfriend, .

 I watched it with my sister Cheryl.

We really like it, and know everyone will want a copy.  I love the way you added in the pictures, and the music was perfect. Thank you so much!

My brother and sister wanted their DVDs now, so I gave them 2 copies from my 5.  

I guess I should book you  now for the dinner party.  It will be Friday, May 13th, 2007

Thanks again,

Charlene and Family

 Celeste, the pictures have gone over BIG with the family and friends.  My email mailbox has been overloaded with gratitude.  Thanks for taking the time to upload them to www.shutterfly.com, a great site.  I ordered some pictures from them for the folks who don't have computers, and the prices were not bad.  They gave me 20 pictures free.

 Also getting requests for the video.  I sent a reply letting them know that they have to pay for the video, and sent your email address.

Dear Celeste:

  Just a few words to thank you, most sincerely, for your beautiful work. 

  When we first had the idea of doing the "Then & Now" video for our fiftieth

high school reunion we had no idea how it would turn out.  It was just an idea

and it needed a lot of work to put it together.   But then, we told you that we'd

only have a few days to shoot the video and get it ready for presentation.  So,

we not only got to shoot on location in Dorchester and Roxbury, we got into

the High School and did very personal shots.  The best part is that you did it

ALL in just one day.   The big reward was that all of our fellow classmates

just loved the video and many of them wanted to buy copies.

  But beyond all of that, the presentation you did for the "In Memoriam"  brought

tears to the eyes of many of the guys and gals.   It was very obvious that their

thoughts were of the past and for the future.

You brought all of my ideas to fruition and the final results were just perfect.  

What more could any client want?

Thanks a million.

Bob E.

I want to thank you for your input on Sunday regarding the Family Reunion.  You made me realize that I needed to put more thought and effort into this event to make it as memorable as possible.

I saw most of the DVD last week.  It is fantastic.  I know the school is going to love it (and I have to drop it off to them this week since I  had to miss the committee meeting on Friday) and it will be so great for the students, teachers and staff who weren't able to attend.  Thank you again.

July 23, 2005

Hi Celeste, I am writing to let you know how much i love the work you did.  I can't stop watching the DVD.  I wanted to know the picture you put on the front of the DVD, is there anyway to get a copy and how much would it be, we like that picture.  The photographer lost some rolls in the picture room so it was hard to choose the picture for our big one.  If  you could let me know if there is a way to make a picture of it.  I am dying to refer you to someone, keep up the good work.  I hope all is well.  Enjoy the summer!

Carrie

Hi Celeste.
                  I just wanted to let you know we received the DVD's and video.  IT CAME OUT EXCELLENT!!!!  Your work is amazing.  I said it before and I will say it again, I will recommend you to anyone I can.  I want to thank you for a job well done, and I hope I can recommend you to as many people, you are a wonder woman, great personality, and you do    EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!!  Thanks again for  your services.

Hi Celeste.  Scott and I just finally got around to watching our wedding video.  You had it done so early.  We very much enjoyed watching all the events, and particularly the dancing.  Very nice quality, and a great memory.  Thank you. 

Vanessa

Hey Celeste!  We got our videos on Friday!  What fun to watch it over again!!  We can't wait for the edited version!  One thing, will any music be cut in the edited version?  I really hope not, if possible...it's my favorite part (aside from marrying Dave, of course!)!  And I know most of the family will watch it over and over just to hear Cara singing!  :)

It has been so much fun to watch the video!  And especially the reception...I don't think people noticed the camera on the dance floor the whole time!!  :)

Thanks, Celeste!  You are great!

Lura

Hi Celeste!  I just wanted to thank you for doing such an awesome job at my wedding!  And I feel bad that I didn't get to thank you enough personally!  I can't wait to see the video, as the whole evening is a big blur to me!  It seemed to go by so fast! I hope it went smoothly for you!!

Let me know if there's anything you need!  I wish we had more weddings!!  :)

Thank you so much!

Celeste YOU are the greatest!!! Thank you so much - that would be WAY cool to have that!  When you said you had a video for her, I was wishing I could see it!  I know Georgie was so happy with having you, even without seeing the results of your talents, that she will "talk you up" !  Hopefully you'll get some more business from that firm.  And I thank YOU for your hard work at her wedding and pulling it all together so last minute, not to mention the " discount" you extended her!   I really appreciate it and I know she does too!

VERY NICE!!!  the cover is Beautiful for the bridal shower.  Now how much, would you charge to do a cover like that (or something similar) on a music cd about 140 CDs, (I am not kidding!!!)

I will watch this tonight.  Absolutely Beautiful.  Thank you for making it so special.

So, I have a neat little story to tell you.  A coworker had recently mentioned that he had some wedding pictures on the computer that he could email us, so us ladies took a look at it.  And as the slides are cycling through, I thought, this looks just like what Celeste had said she could do, how neat.  And then, sure enough, at the end your credits came up.  I had no idea he had hired you for his wedding and yet I still managed to find you :)  His name is Vinny (Vincent) B. - I think he was married in the last yr or 2.  And he said he was very pleased and would recommend you to anyone. I thought you would like to hear that :)

Talk soon.

-Vanessa

No problem Celeste.

Please stay in touch with me

I think that you have a GREAT business and my hope is that you will continue to prosper in ALL ways!

Hey Celeste.

I rec'd the DVD. You did a great, no wonderful job! It is hard to believe
that it was 5 months ago already. I am so glad we were all finally able
to go.

Again, thanks so much for DVD.

Celeste,
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we enjoyed our wedding video/DVDs.  You did a fantastic job editing.  We watched all the raw footage as soon as it came in, but we just recently watched the edited reception DVD. 

Please feel free to use me as a reference if you need to.  I would be happy to recommend you to anyone!!

Happy New Year!
Mira

Hi Celeste,

Thank you so much for your time at the wedding. I was very pleased with your service. It seems like you got a lot of footage, yet didn't interfere with any of the special events that day.

I'm looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks! Mira

Hi Celeste-

I bid and bid and bid on that beautiful picture of yours and the price just went to high for me!

I believe the final total was $75!  Pretty impressive!

But since I am so heartbroken over losing, I wanted to write to you and ask if you sell your pictures all the time or if this was a one time thing.

I know you mentioned to me that that particular picture was a business card of yours, I was keeping my fingers crossed that maybe you do sell your photos.

Please let me know when you get a moment.

I would love to know how much you offer that picture for, it was very beautiful!

Thanks and have a good day!

Erin

Dear Celeste, Thanks for EVERYTHING The disk made things faster, a good thing, because I didn't have much time. I've printed out 6 copies of 2 photos, which means I'll have something

Looked at your website, it was really nice. Enjoyed the photography. Especially loved the photograph from your event in 2001 with bride looking out back of window. It was superb. You have a lot of talent. Best of luck with your upcoming event. If you ever need any Morenci candles, just let me know

Subject: RE:


I love the foliage shots.  My aunt from Cali
asks me to send your cards to
her, because she can remember Boston and the
surrounding areas from them.  I
also write to a lot of people (can you believe I
utilize snail mail for that
purpose).  I like to send my friends pictures of
Boston, and I have received
such compliments on your cards.  (I tell them all
to check the back for your
address), one girlfriend framed a picture of an
ivy plant flowing down a
North End apartment from your photos, she loved
it so much.  Those are the
two areas I buy the most of, and Tricia (my
daughter's father) got his
birthday and Christmas Card from your selection,
he is an avid outdoors man.
The shots of the lighthouse, and one of a
sailboat with the sun reflecting
off the water was simply breathtaking.  Ansel
Adams, LOOK OUT!  Great work,
Celeste.  Hats off to you!  (and you should raise
the price because they're
still cheaper than any Hallmark card, and much
more personal and
picturesque.

hi Celeste,

I'm glad you were blessed by it and the web site looks
good.

To: Celeste Sheffey

Celeste, You bring me happiness with your awesome cards! Your cards are such
a convenient, quick and easy and wonderful way to keep in touch with
friends, send a thank you, (and decorate my office!) with something that
really let's people know I appreciate them! I just sent one as a thank you
to Ford G. b/c he gave me some skis and I sent another to my boyfriend
as a special hello-that's what is great about them-they are so versatile and
again, so CONVENIENT! All in all Celeste, THANK YOU! I am so glad you have
made them available to us!!! Have a great rest of the year!

Cathy K.

Khoncepts!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to write and let you know that your pictures
are really excellent. I have 6 so far and it was rough trying to choose
them out of all the awesome selection you have. I have one in my office and
everyone that has been here has commented on how well it brightens up the
place. I also used your greeting cards to get in touch with out of town
friends and the response has been overwhelming. One I sent as far as San
Francisco and she loved it-even though she didn't like Boston she said that
the card made Boston look like a great place! Another friend commented that
she had never seen butterflies caught on film the way they were on the
card-so full of color, energy and life.

I just wanted to say thank you-I am so glad I have a reliable place to get
cards/prints from! Also, so inexpensive as well! These present a great
option since they are actual pictures with the ability to be blown up as
full size prints. You can be sure I will be back for more VERY soon!

Thanks again, You RULE!!!!!!!!

Celeste - I just looked at your web site and was going to send you 
another email, when I received this message from you -- 

I love the swan boats 2000 and the Trinity Church photos 

(it's one of my Christmas tree ornaments as is the State House,

which reminds me - a photo of the Boston Common to add to my photo

collage would be great -perhaps the frog pond or the memorial to the 54th

(I think) Massachusetts Regiment commanded by Robert Gould Shaw during the

Civil War) and all the other Boston ones -- all of them actually.

 If you ever do photos of Scotland definitely let me know --

 my favorite place outside of the United 
States.  

Karen

Celeste,

Checked out the website and it looks good!  Are you able to capture

 fashion shots on the street?  I would love to do a segment called off 

the streets and spotlight what the sisters are wearing in Boston.  

The flava is different yet the same.  Give me your thoughts.

Susan Harris

Dear Celeste -

I am so pleased with the collage - you included some of my favorites - 

and the photos give a real "feel" for the city beyond the usual landmarks. 

Thanks!

Khoncepts re: Golf Tournament

Greetings! 

 I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your warm 

 hospitality and kind gestures during our visit to the city of Boston. My 

 daughter, MAGGIE NOEL, was most impressed and expressed a desire to

 return to play again at William Devine Golf Course in Franklin Park, 

someday in  the not too distant future. 

We were both impressed with the professional  demeanor exhibited by all 

individuals we came in contact with at the golf course and hope that 

someday we can do the same for you should you see  your way to Houston. 

 If you have any pictures, video, or printed media of Maggie and would care

 to share it with us please feel free to send them to this email address or 

 to Maggie's home address.

Thank you,

Edward

You did a great job -- especially under difficult circumstances. 

I am going to call you next week about something that I think Khoncepts

 will be very excited about. Until then, take care!
