Faith.K.'s reviews

Michelle is awesome! She is an amazing musician and a consummate professional. She played our wedding in Menlo Park last month and we couldn't have been more pleased at every step of the way. From our initial contact, she was pleasant to work with. She immediately sent us her information, a CD, and was always accessible by phone or email. Her repertoire is quite impressive and we had a productive and inspiring phone consultation, during which we arranged the wedding and cocktail music. She is quite flexible and willing to work with you to give you exactly what you want.

At the wedding, she was simply amazing. Everything was exactly on cue and the ceremony was perfect. As a classical music afficionado, I confidently say that you won't find a better harpist in the Bay Area.

There are not enough stars to reflect just how talented Wendy is as a photographer! Not only are her photos amazing, her presence is incredible.

Wendy photographed our wedding last month and fully delivered. We asked for documentary photography, 90% candid and 10% posed/portraits. Each image is so incredible and captures every emotion within that moment, they are absolutely priceless. I still cannot go through the pictures without crying from feeling that happiness all over again.

The quality of every image is flawless. She takes photos at all angles and in different light, which allows her to present pictures from different perspectives, so that you have a choice for every captured moment. She also provides a great number of shots in both color and black and white, which was great!

Wendy has an amazing personality that makes every interaction positive. Our planning meeting with her was fantastic and she actually helped us streamline our wedding timeline, which really improved the flow of everything.

She easily moved through the day putting everyone right at ease. Other times she's quite stealth and THAT makes for fantastic candid shots. At one point, Wendy was actually sliding around the bridal room on her stomach getting shots of me stepping into my shoes and I didn't even catch her until she was already standing back up!

Having just gotten married, I cannot stress how important a good wedding photographer is, and Wendy is THE BEST.

I found Joanne on Yelp and I feel so lucky to have found her because not only is she extremely talented, but she is also a pleasure to work with.

I had a hair and makeup trial with her in Feb. '09 and I was ready to hire her for my wedding after the seeing my makeup (she hadn't even started on my hair yet)! She pays close attention to detail, enhancing your natural features. She's capable of giving you exactly what you want right there on the spot. I was also quite pleased with my up-do. The hair and makeup did not budge after 9 hours! Needless to say, she was hired.

Joanne was phenomenal during our wedding last month. She was already set up by the time we arrived. She did the hair and makeup for one of my bridesmaids (without ever meeting her or seeing a picture of her) and Joanne fully delivered. She was stunning! Being the bride (and after the trial), I knew I was in good hands, but I had no idea that my hair and makeup could look even BETTER than our trial! Joanne is very flexible and accomodating, even with my last minute requests. She has an incredibly calming and friendly presence as well, making her an ideal person to be back there in the bridal room with you.

You are in the best of hands with Joanne. She delivered nothing less than excellence. I would recommend Joanne to any bride!
