Fred is such a fun artist. He's organized, friendly, light-hearted and supremely talented. We worked out everything (from the schedule to the family politics) way in advance so the day was just smooth sailing. Thank you for being so perfect! ~ Kyra

Fred did an amazing job at our wedding. He was very professional and extremely friendly. My guests had great things to say about Fred. He's very charismatic and outgoing person. Fred worked with us under special circumstances and he remained calm and positive.
Definitely he's going to be our main photographer for our import events from now on.

I met Fred at the Tacoma Wedding Expo last fall. I got his brochure/information and went back home and researched a bit more since there were so many photographers to choose from. However, when I spoke to him on the phone, he seemed to really understand what I wanted for my wedding photos and he was quick to give me options and leave it up to me. He was a bit more expensive than I had budgeted to spend on a photographer, but I figured it'd be worth it to get a great photographer since these pictures will last a lifetime. I also really appreciated his professional feedback he gave me when I told him my ideas about where/when to do the photos. And instead of letting me do whatever I wanted, he told me the pros and cons to each, giving me the option to weigh each one to choose how our wedding photos would turn out. He was also very responsive via email and phone when I had questions. It also helped that Fred is very passionate about photography and is excited to talk about it with others. My entire bridal party and family talked for days about how wonderful of a job he did on the wedding day for directing and conducting the photos. I haven't seen my wedding photos yet though since it was during peak wedding season. Other than that, awesome job!!

Fred was beyond amazing. We had him shoot our engagement and day of wedding photos. Our pictures were even better than expected. He captured the moment like none I've ever seen. There were a few key moments during my wedding that I will forever be able to see the emotion that was there because of his ability to see and capture those little moments.

I couldn't be happier with our choice in Fred as our photographer. He works extremely hard and went the extra mile in every aspect of his job. We have amazing memories because of him and I can't thank him enough.

Fred was wonderful and we're so happy we went with Fred Calma Photography for our wedding! We felt like we got not only a great value, but also great pictures as well. Fred was very flexible and accomodating, and shot our engagement pictures in several different locations. He was always honest about what would work and what would look good, but ultimately let us make the decisions. He is truly passionate about his photography, and it shows. I have recommended Fred to all our friends and feel like he is truly the best photographer we could have hired.

What can I say? Fred was AMAZING! My husband and I knew that one of the most important aspects of our wedding day would be our pictures; something we would have forever to remember our special day.

We found Fred at a wedding expo in Seattle and right away there was a connection. His personality was SO much fun and we knew by looking at his photos that he was a good photographer. We made the right decision! The prices were reasonable and we got our moneys worth for sure! We had a great engagement session and never felt rushed. Fred has a way of mixing traditional poses with fun poses so you get a good balance between the two.

On our wedding day I think I had about 50 people ask me who my photographer was. He was EXCELLENT to work with and my bridal party and family just loved him! The most exciting part was getting our photos and being blown away at how incredible they were! Fred is very attuned to detail. All my family and friends, as well as my husband and I, would recommend Fred Calma to anyone. He was professional, easy to work with, very responsive to e-mails and phone calls, flexible and of course, the quality of his service is obvious by his photographs.

My husband and I have built a relationship with Fred that will last a lifetime. We will always use him for special events as will everyone else in our family. Thank you Fred for capturing the most important event in our lives!

Fred was our photographer for our Memorial Day wedding. He was fun to work with and he made everyone feel really comfortable! We had a lot of laughs! He worked around my husband's and my request not to see each other before the ceremony. We are waiting for our final photos but the sneak peak that we got to see at our reception really impressed us! Fred is an amazing photographer and true professional!

Fred is amazing!!! He is so easy to work with. I was so relaxed and trusted him on our wedding day. He was even concerned about my feet getting sore in my heals :) We are constanly complimented on our pictures and on how good our "photographer" was. I reccomend him to everyone. You will not be dissapointed and his prices are great He is worth so much more than you will pay. I would definately pay for his assistant too. Moments were captures from two angles that turned out amazing. I cant say enough If you want your dream photos to look back on Fred is definatley the person to make that happen.

Fred is amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure the lighting and background for each shot is perfect. He was very flexible at meeting us wherever we wanted for engagement and per-wedding pics with the wedding party. The pictures I have seen so far are amazing. I would recommend him to anyone!

Fred was amazing!!! The professionalism and quality of work was truely amazing. I would recommend him to anyone. As you know, getting married is one of the most important days and you want to capture everything on film and he did. It was raining out and Fred was laying down in puddles of water to get the perfect shot for us. Pictures are breath-taking and they do not look posed and fake. Thank you FRED for your excellent customer service and providing quality work.
