Must Hire Wedding Photographer

There are not enough words to describe how happy my husband and I are with Wendy! We felt incredibly comfortable with her from the very first meeting with her. We feel like we just met another friend! She was extremely organized and kept us on a schedule during our wedding. Which was great because we had a larger wedding/bridal party and between her and her second photographer they handled it perfectly. She took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and she also made sure to take note of all the shots we wanted her to capture. The end results were amazing and we are so so so happy with them, and would book Wendy for anything we need in the future.

Best Wedding Investment

Highly recommend picking Wendy as your wedding photographer. Having her as your photographer is one of the best investments you can make. We requested information from multiple photographers but she was the ONLY photographer that actually took the time to get to know me and my husband. On the day of our wedding she was so easy and fun to work with! All of our wedding party enjoyed working with her also. We received our photos a couple of weeks after our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with them! She truly captured all of the emotions and special moments throughout the wedding! Thank you Wendy for capturing our special day!

Wendy is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be the perfect photographer! She was so attentive. On my wedding day, she came early and was so organized. She took her time and it was clear she truly cared about my day and my pictures. My pictures came out so beautiful!! They were everything I was expecting and more. Wendy far exceeded my expectations in a wedding photographer and I will reccomend her over and over again!

As the mother of the bride I felt so supported and had every confidence in Wendy. I was happy from the moment we found her. I have already scheduled another session for my other daughters graduation pictures. I would recommend her and I will use her again. Thank you Wendy!! We are thrilled with the memories you captured on one of life's most precious days.

Wendy is so amazing! She's kind, down to earth and so easy to work with. The lighting and colors in the pictures are so vivid and magical. We had her take our engagement, wedding and first family pictures. My husband and I are so happy with her work!

Wendy is absolutely amazing!! Finding a wedding photographer is not easy, but I could not be happier with our choice. Our ceremony took place outside after sunset. My biggest concern was being able to capture the ceremony, and many photographers were not confident in shooting with low light. Wendy did not hesitate, and she eased my concerns immediately by showing me examples of photos she had shot in low lighting. She did not disappoint!! I am so happy with ALL of our photos. Wendy and her second photographer Aaron were so wonderful to work with and helped the day go smoothly. They handled everything with such confidence and professionalism. We were blown away by the photos we received only 2 weeks later!! Wendy is the best at capturing such special moments!!

Well, first you want someone who you immediately love their personality... Wendy was fun, outgoing, super knowledgeable. Then we sat down and and had a meeting with her, saw all of her lovely photos, experience and charisma of getting along with everyone. We had a super large wedding/reception over 300 people, a beautiful outdoor venue, and Wendy and her assistant were always on time, had the list in hand, and stayed true to what we wanted with pictures and decor.. and then some..love love love her and recommend her for future brides and grooms..

We chose Wendy to be our photographer for our wedding a few months ago, and we were not disappointed at all! I was a pretty easy going bride for the most part, but the one thing I was especially picky on was our photographer since they would be the ones to capture all the special moments throughout the day. We had an engagement session where we got to get to know Wendy a little better, and she is such a sweetheart! We took our dog who isn’t quite trained for photoshoots, and Wendy was able to capture some amazing shots both candid and posed. We were so happy with them that we made them into a book for our guests to sign at our wedding, and we received so many compliments on them!

Our actual wedding day was 107 degrees, and it was mostly outdoors, but you would never even know Wendy was working in that heat! She was such a hard worker the entire day and captured all our important moments. When my husband and I sat down to look at all the wedding photos, we realized how hard it was going to be to pick out “favorites” to print. I would 100% recommend Wendy to anyone who is looking for a great photographer! You will not be disappointed at all!

Wendy is amazing.

Seriously. She should be your photographer. I searched tirelessly to find a wedding photographer who is (most importantly) a person who has a natural eye for layout, lighting, and finding the best scene. My second most important criterion was value; we were working within a reasonable budget and found that we were being priced out with even the newest, most inexperienced wedding photographers.

Wendy is the absolute best value, and she has the kind of natural talent that other people can only copy. She sees dynamic shots in every situation. She is also one of the friendliest and most welcoming people I've met, and that kindness makes it so easy to open up and have fun on your big day. She was happy to talk with my husband and I about what we wanted, but also made sure some of the basic shots that he and I didn't think of were included in our gallery. When our first venue had to cancel on us and we booked at a second venue that she hadn't seen before, she volunteered to come with us to scout the best areas to take photos. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous, and I tear up just looking at them. She captured exactly what we wanted, and I cannot say enough good things about her. If you were unsure about who to book, I would happily tell anyone that you should pick her and you will be so incredibly pleased with your choice. Look at her client proof galleries on her professional website to see what I mean.

Wendy is fantastic. My husband and I hate getting our picture taken and she made us so comfortable. The pictures turned out fantastic! As we got closer to the date she was always available for any questions or changes. I highly recommend her.
