We hired The Freckled Photographer as our wedding photographer for our wedding in August 2024. While Wendy was very professional in her work and took amazing pictures for us, she a...
lso carried a very humble, approachable style - before, during, and after our wedding day. She delivered on everything we were looking for in a wedding day vendor.
She made sure she understood the style of photography we were looking for, and worked completely seamlessly into our wedding day, finding the best places to take breathtaking pictures of our day that we'll surely cherish for the rest of our lives. She was also incredible working with the rest of our vendors on wedding day, and helped ensure the little things on wedding day went well for both of us. The package we purchased also came with a beautiful wedding photo album - which came out amazing and absolutely timeless.
We highly recommend working with her as your wedding photographer. She's very professional and very easy to work with. You can't go wrong with hiring Wendy to be part of your wedding team!
Wendy is the BEST! We worked closely with her and were able to develop a wonderful relationship leading up to the day of. We clicked immediately and she understood what we were loo...
king for and the best way to capture the shot! 10/10 would recommend!
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 pho...
tographers 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 giving us photos that we’ll cherish forever!
I have been trying so hard to wait and write a review for Wendy until after we received our complete photo package (we were married 2 weeks ago today), but I just can't! I know sh...
e's going to deliver us a phenomenal final product. Wendy is just the best. She is such a sweet, attentive, sensitively attuned person. Jeffrey and I spoke to her after we had gotten our engagement photos done by another photographer, and Wendy insisted she throw in an engagement package for free so she could work with us before the wedding.
I was so amazed during the engagement shoot that the second I thought to myself, "Hm, I feel really awkward and unsure of what I am doing and how I look right now" in a photo pose, Wendy immediately gave me feedback that she could see the doubt in my face and to shake it off. I was so relieved she did that, and it reassured me that she would always let us know when we looked unnatural, nervous, stiff, what have you! Plus it is such a rare trait for someone to be as kind as Wendy, but be able to decisive give feedback that you're not looking your absolute best for a photo.
Wendy worked and met with us many times before the wedding. When I was worried about the lighting in the Synagogue sanctuary after sunset, Wendy came to the Synagogue after 6pm to check it out on site for herself. We met again at a Starbucks to discuss family photo arrangements when we realized we had 100+ people in our families we were trying to arrange into photos with a very narrow amount of time! Wendy went to my mother-in-law's house on her own while Jeffrey and I were at work to scope out the place with my mother-in-law since we would be doing photos there. We spoke several times over the phone, text, and email about finding indoor locations to shoot since there was supposed to be rain on the wedding day. I can't think of one time where Wendy did not get back to me immediately whenever I reached out to her.
The day of the wedding was also awesome. Wendy's assistant Aaron (who she calls "Aar-Bear" which just made me giggle each time) was also so chill and honestly I forgot he was there half the time! Wendy is so clear in her instructions to everyone. She also didn't flinch or protest every time we would all suddenly remember, "Oh, wait, I want a photo with this grouping that I forgot to tell you about!" Her third assistant Brianna (sorry if I am spelling her name incorrectly!) also brought such a happy energy to the group once we got to the reception.
There was a fascinating video I watched from one of our guests while the Hora was happening where everyone was grouped around us pretty tightly, and suddenly I noticed that Wendy was very smoothly and covertly gliding through the crowded guests to get her photos. She wasn't shoving anyone, getting in anyone's way, just very naturally navigating through the scene to get her shots.
Oh man, I am running out of characters!! I hope I have conveyed enough that Wendy is just absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond. She loves her clients, loves her job, and her passion is clear in everything she does. I am so happy she is a possible vendor we can use again in the future for other events! Thank you so much, Wendy, and we cannot wait to see the final product <3
Wendy was AMAZING. She was super professional, was always on time, and had amazing communication throughout our entire experience with her. She was patient with me when I requested...
various poses during our wedding, and always made sure that I knew whatever I wanted was what I would get. I look forward to working with her again in the future!
What a great decision to make to pick Wendy Hithe. Upon meeting her, she was a delight. Very flexible and fairly priced. She is accomodating and truly an honest artist. Our engagem...
ent photos turned out so perfect as she worked with us to take photos in Sacramento, San Francisco and Halfmoon Bay.
During the day of our wedding, she was very calm and reminded me to breathe and enjoy the moment as I was white knuckling the chair that I was seated in. As weird as this sounds, I found her as a comfort source during the nerve wracking few hours before the march. That is more than I bargained for!
I love working with her and her assistant Rahul. I could not have picked a better photographer who listened and has a heart of gold.
Our pictures are magazine worthy (humble brag), truly, it is! That's all because of Wendy's eye for great shots!
Look no further, Wendy is amazing! Wendy did the photo's for my wedding and we couldn't have been more lucky to have gotten her! The quality of her work is way more than outstand...
ing and her personality and professionalism was noted by everyone at my wedding. Your wedding only happens once, the photo's last forever so your choice in photographer has to be the right one...no do overs. We will forever be grateful for the amazing work she did for us.
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 la...
yout, 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 was everything I could have asked for in a photographer! She is sweet and genuine in every way possible!! Her photos are gorgeous and speak for themselves!
Wendy was wonderful! My Husband and I planned are wedding in nine months and unfortunately had left our Photographer selection to the end. Wendy was able to meet with us on very...
short notice and even squeeze in an engagement photo shoot. She was kind enough to put a rush on our engagement photos so we could use them for a guest book and sign in table for the wedding a few weeks later. Our pictures turned out amazing and we had PLENTY to choose from. I love that I have a DVD with all of our pictures. Our wedding was Oct 2nd. And Wendy had all my proofs up to view by the 21st of October!!! , Plenty of time for me to send out Christmas cards and make photo gifts for my Parents and Husbands Parents. Wendy is very detail oriented and is a true Professional! I would highly recommend her service. ***Lowest price out off all the photographers we meet with and her packages really accommodated our needs*** THANK YOU WENDY!!!
My husband Nick and I were so thrilled when we met with Wendy for the first time. She was so nice and professional and most importantly experienced. She gave us all kinds of ideas ...
and advice as to how we should do our engagement and wedding photos. When we did our engagement photos we thought we were going to have to wait 3 to 4 months to get them back because thats how long a lot of our friends had to wait... NOPE not us we got everything back within 2 weeks and they were AMAZING!! When it came time for the wedding I was so happy that we hired Wendy because she did an INCREDIBLE job. She got all kinds of photos that I never even thought we would get. She is creative, talented, professional and FUN to be around. We highly recommend Wendy because she will capture your special day in a way that no one else can!!
Cameron, my husband ( yay!! ), and I were so pleased to have been referred to Wendy. Her photos are spectacular and we had a blast taking them! She worked really great with everyon...
e at the event, including the line of paparazzi following us every where we went. She was extremely patient, very good at giving direction and most of all she made us feel comfortable! Her wedding packages allowed us to stay within our budget and still get top quality work. We can’t thank Wendy enough for capturing our special day so beautifully!
