Reviews for Wendy Hickok Photography
GUEST




Wendy did such a wonderful professional job as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning Wendy was so much fun. I felt very relaxed and natural around her. She is very responsive and professional. When we went for our initial consultation she took a few photos of us and they were awesome. I knew if she could get great pictures of us without any preparation she was very talented.
A few months later she took our engagement photos in Paterson Park. My husband and are both amateur photographers and Wendy’s ability to capture light and emotion are unmatched by other photographers we looked at.
For our wedding Wendy did such a great job. She stayed late and brought along an assistant. She really went above and beyond. My mom particularly hates her photo being taken, but the photos Wendy took of her made her look so beautiful, natural, and relaxed. Since I planned the wedding myself getting photos of details was important to me. I didnt even tell Wendy this... but she took tons of amazing photos of everything from the flowers, to the welcome bags, to the food, the menus, desserts, ect...
We also ordered the fab booth for our reception. A lot of my wedding was DYI including all of the planning. I thought we would be able to fit the fab booth in the tent but it didn’t fit. I was very bummed… it ended up not being a problem because Wendy moved the fab booth inside and it worked out great (probably even better then if it was in the tent). We got some of the best pictures out of the fab booth! It is highly recommended!
Finally, three days before our wedding I got into a horrible car crash and totaled my car. It left me with a huge seatbelt burn on my chest. My dress was off the shoulder and my chest was on full display. During the wedding I used some cover-up but the bruising and open sore showed. When my husband and I looked through all our photos at Wendy’s studio we were so surprised that Wendy airbrushed out every photo that the sore showed! There were almost 1000 photos! Wendy truly went above and beyond. I will continue to hire her when I get pregnant, have kids, and any other occasion I need a professional photographer.
Our Wedding was 10/22/2011 at Irvine Nature Center. Wendy has some pictures on her blog.

Wendy is absolutely AMAZING! I've attended two weddings of hers over the years and have been in two as well, and I knew WITH OUT A DOUBT that she is who I wanted to photograph my wedding!!!! She's an amazing person to work with. I'm someone who HATES my picture being taken and am not at all the girly type, but she made it so easy for me to relax with her and her camera. She went out of her way to be accommodating for my husband and I to meet us before the wedding so we'd be truly comfortable with her, which we were! I'm so pleased I want her to photograph all major landmarks in my life!!!

easiest review to write thus far. wendy rocks. photography was my number one priority when planning our wedding which is why it was the first thing i booked. wendy was easy to communicate with and instantly made us feel like old friends (comfort is huge when you're posing in front of a camera and not used to it).
on the day of the wedding, wendy was on time, professionally dressed, and fun to be around. also a huge plus, i barely noticed her. i know she was everywhere, snapping away...but she's so experienced at what she does that she's not distracting at all.
her photos are amazing. if you're considering her...do yourself a favor and book her. now. i did my research and she's the best...trust me :)

Wendy was great from the moment I first contacted her. She was the only photographer I had contacted that CALLED me back rather than emailing. This was very helpful, because personality is extremely important for a photographer. She was a delight to work with. She's positive, encouraging, creative, artistic, fun and super sweet. She did a really fun engagement shoot with us before the wedding and we had a ball! She has energy for days and kept up with all of our craziness. We LOVE the images. She was amazing on the wedding day and got some beautiful shots. She was able to deal with our large wedding party and enormous family very well. We love her!! We'll be booking her for future shoots as our anniversaries come and our family grows. she's great!

I cannot say enough about Wendy. We have been working with her for over a year now (engagement and wedding photographers) and can honestly say she will be our photographer for all our big life events. We LOVE her. Excellent personality that makes you feel at ease, incredible artistic eye, and all-around great person. She has our highest recommendation.

Wendy was a pleasure to work with and the pictures she takes are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Wendy was always friendly & professional to work with. From the start of my wedding planning, photography was always very important to me and I felt very confident working with Wendy throughout the planning process. Hurricane Irene hit the day of our wedding and Wendy and her assistant (also amazing) came through with flying colors. They not only stayed calm and organized, but helped to keep me and the wedding party calm (despite the chaos of the weather) and smiling. We had to make several changes to our original plan (the electricity went out at our reception and we had to be evacuated due to the weather) and Wendy stayed flexible and organized. I was worried about how the pictures would turn out with the wind and rain, but they are stunning!! Wendy is a great person and excellent photographer - you won't be disappointed.

Wendy was absolutely wonderful to work with, and our pictures are breathtaking! We have received many compliments from friends and family, noting that our pictures are the best they have ever seen! She was extremely professional, responsive and, most important, made us feel comfortable on our big day so we could be ourselves. She is a very genuine person and her passion for her job shows.
She truly captured the moment in her photography and we have loved re-living every minute of our day through the pictures. We would highly recommend Wendy and look forward to working with her again as we experience new life milestones.

Wendy was such a pleasure to have as a part of our wedding. On such an emotion-filled day, Wendy's outgoing personality put everyone at ease. Not to mention that the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!! Thank you Wendy!!
GUEST




Wendy was amazing!! She really made you feel comfortable when she was taking pictures. My husband is not a picture fan but after we took our engagement photos, he was hooked! Wendy is a ton of fun to be around which makes the taking a million pictures easier to handle. Her work is awesome. My husband and I both said I think we found our lifetime photographer. I would recommend Wendy for any type of photos that you need! She is great!!

What a blessing to have Wendy capture our special day through her eyes! She has a wonderful talent. She is so friendly, and open to all ideas with her photographs. We never even knew she was there on our wedding day, yet she managed to capture every detail, and all of the emotions with her camera! Definately money well spent!

GUEST




I had very high expectations of my photographer, as I knew my wedding pictures would be what I’d have to enjoy for years to come. From our first meeting, my fiancé and I felt immediately comfortable with Wendy. She is extremely easy-going, personable and not to mention, just fun and silly! These are such important qualities to have for both of us to feel at ease with her on our special day and also for our guests. You don’t realize how much time you spend with your photographer; so I knew right away that Wendy would be perfect! And she exceeded my expectations – everything from our engagement session to our actual wedding day to the planning of our wedding album. She stayed true to those qualities.
The photographs she takes are truly amazing – there are so many I love that I had a hard time choosing between all of them. She has a great artistic eye and she’s willing to go above and beyond to capture the moment! Thank you Wendy for being part of our special day!

Responsiveness is a strange thing to get rated on and honestly I think I respond in a totally timely manor with my emails, calls, and inquiries. I am running a small business by myself with over 50 couples at one time to keep happy. It isn't realistic that I am going to be able to respond within a 24 hour period and that is the "norm" of the society we are in today. I believe every bride is special and I do everything in my power to be as responsive as I can with the amount of time I have in a given work day.

Of all the photographers I contacted, Wendy was the only one who mentioned getting to KNOW my husband and I before the event. She met with us and really tried to get a sense of who we are and what we wanted out of our wedding photos. She made us feel like our event was her top priority and she was very professional and flexible. She brought a great sense of fun to the event which made us more comfortable in front of the camera.
GUEST




Wendy did an amazing job. She made us feel very comfortable and glamorous. You are very creative and captured our day just as I remember it. Many thanks!

I am working on the responsiveness to my brides! Being a one woman show is it hard to keep up on all the emails! I try to respond within 48 hours to most emails during the week and respond on Friday-Sunday emails on Monday. Weekends I am photographing awesome event's like yours! May 2011 I am bringing on an awesome office manager so I hope to turn all reviews in the future into five stars!

Wendy from Wendy Hickok Photography not only takes gorgeous photos but her images tell a story.
