With Wendy behind the camera, your special moments will become truly timeless pictures.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Wendy for our May 2024 wedding in Washingto...
n, DC. We couldn't be happier with the experience and the results.
Wendy's warmth and genuine interest in our story made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. She did an outstanding job working within our abbreviated timeline, including a special process for efficiently getting all the large group, small group, and individual shots we wanted. Wendy also has a unique ability to find inspiration in the moment, snapping additional shots that turned out to be some of our favorites.
The pictures feel true to life, perfectly reflecting the emotions and atmosphere of our day. They are vibrant, natural, and a beautiful representation of our wedding.
We highly recommend Hickock Photography to anyone in need of a talented and personable wedding photographer. Wendy exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful memories captured forever.
I cannot say enough positive things about Wendy! She captured the day so beautifully. Everyone in the wedding party and the immediate families absolutely loved working with her as ...
she made everyone feel so comfortable. She has an amazing vision and we are so thankful to have had her on our wedding day! I will recommend Wendy to everyone! You will not be disappointed by her photos!
Wendy was our 2nd photographer during our recent May wedding and did an amazing job. I was very familiar with our church, having gone to school here, but Wendy was still able to fi...
nd spots for stunning photos that I hadn’t thought of. She worked with the groomsmen getting ready and in the photos we have seen thus far the guys look so sharp and handsome. In addition to her skills as a photographer, her positive attitude and smile in the 95-degree heat was exactly what we needed!
Wendy was so great to work with! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Wendy and she is so personable, fun, professional. She also made us feel so comfortable and at ...
ease. Our photos came out amazing- there is so many that we love and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Highly recommend!!
Wendy and Liz are the dynamic duo. They are personable and warm and made my partner and I feel so comfortable. For the formal group shots, they provided helpful direction and were ...
able to get such great and unique photos in a short amount of time. Throughout the entire wedding day and evening they were able to capture all the important moments without being pushy or controlling. In fact, many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the photographers and the way that they blended in so well. Bonus points for including our dog and working so well with her!
They have a very quick turnaround time and sent us the finished photos while we were still on our honeymoon! We still haven’t picked out photos for the wedding album- it’s too hard because there are too many good ones to choose from! I have already recommended them to several people and would use them again for an important event in a heartbeat.
Where do I begin? Wendy (and Liz!) were so awesome to work with leading up and during the wedding! I knew when we were frolicking around Old Town laughing during our engagement pho...
tos that we made the right decision for our wedding day. They captured our wedding day so beautifully and fit right in with our family and friends. Wendy is great with navigating family dynamics and taking photos quickly. I also appreciated that Wendy was flexible with us. Like most brides, I was trying to keep costs down. She provided me with different package options and did not try to sell me on things I did not need. I feel like we got two amazing friends out of it too. If you are looking for a laid back, professional, fun, and talented photographer - look no further! Wendy Hickok Photography just does it right.
Wendy and Liz were absolutely a delight to work with for our November 2019 wedding. Wendy is so friendly we felt extremely comfortable from our first phone call till the end of our...
wedding day. We had the best engagement session and her and Liz made the wedding day as smooth as it could possibly be. I would recommend them not only for your wedding but any kind of professional photos!
My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy Hickok Photography to anyone for any event or occasion whatsoever. We were trying for a wedding celebration a little less structured, ...
with some pictures of family and friends and us on our long-awaited wedding day. In our first meeting, that was basically all I had to share with Wendy, which is not much. She put me at ease immediately with her warm personality and offered many suggestions for things I had not thought of. Our meeting was a chat with a friend that knew how to fill in the blanks. I left confident despite feeling like I had given her nothing much to work with. Wendy's amazing ability to easily create and capture special moments, coupled with her wonderful personality, provided us with wedding photos that are more beautiful than we could have hoped for. Wendy was fantastic with our guests - several later asked if she was a friend of ours (I say Yes to that). She is also highly skilled at providing support to, while somehow taking beautiful photos of, crying Brides and Grooms. It was a great day, with love and happiness all around and we are very, very happy that we chose Wendy Hickok Photography.
We <3 Wendy! From our first phone call, I felt like Wendy really cared about US and our wedding day. Before our big day, we met Wendy for happy hour to get to know each other bett...
er and plan. Leaving that happy hour, I was not only more confident in my choice to use Wendy, but also both my husband and I wanted to hang out with her again. She's so personable and easy to talk to. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to Wendy and her partner, Liz. They went the extra mile to make sure that they got all the special moments and details. All of the beautiful the pictures are proof! Talking after the wedding, my husband and I agreed that Wendy was our favorite vendor of the day, so friendly, no issues, and worth every penny!
My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Wendy for your engagement and/or wedding photos. She has a bright personality, was down to earth and easy to chat with, and on the day of we hardl...
y knew she was there as she captured the most perfect moments. At times she recommended we do something, or get a picture at a certain angle/backdrop and these also turned out incredible. By the way, we were SUPER picky about our photographer and interviews 12 people by phone, looking through the details of the photos online and reviews. She narrowed it down to three and chose Wendy because of the style of her photos, the clarity of her photos, and her awesome communications.
Wendy is an amazing photographer! She is fun, friendly, professional, and talented! She did our engagement photos & our wedding photos. She returned them timely and they were beaut...
iful. She added a low key, fun vibe to our special wedding day. She took tons of great candid photos out on the dancefloor, which I wasn't expecting, and also captured all of the key moments too. We did a first look and are really glad we did one so we had extra couple photos from our wedding day. I'd definitely recommend Wendy to other brides & hope to use her again in the future!
Wendy was our only photographer for the day but she was everywhere. She not only got great photos of us and our family, she was there with a crochet hook when we couldn't button up...
my dress, she was there with a tissue if I needed it, she helped with my train and herded around my crazy family. Wendy got to know us and understand our vibe before the wedding day. She listened to all of the shots we were hoping to get and worked to fit them all into the day. I can't say enough good things about her. Here's her website if you're looking - https://hickokphotography.com/
Wendy made our day. She has mad skills with the camera, that's a fact. But what you don't know until you meet her is that her personality is her super power. She has this gift to b...
e able to make you feel comfortable so she can capture truly genuine moments from your wedding, showing the emotions of the day and making even posed photos look completely natural. She made it all fun. We felt like we made a new friend that day, and don't want this to be the last time we see Wendy. Hire her for your wedding. You won't regret it!
Wendy is an absolutely fantastic photographer, and I couldn't be more happy with our wedding photos. For such a significant, exciting, yet potentially stressful event- there two es...
sential things needed: mad photography skills, and a great attitude. Wendy has both of them in buckets (as does Liz her lovely assistant!). The photographs all turned out stunning, capturing the genuine emotion of the day with an careful attention to detail, an eye for catching all the little personal moments, and a beautiful glowing light throughout. The black and white photos are such a great addition; they are all well picked and have such a great depth and contrast. Just as importantly Wendy has such a great personality and ability to put people at ease; the constant laughter in the photos is evidence of that ("I want you to whisper all of your favorite sandwich ingredients into her ear in your sexiest voice..."). She manages to bring the perfect balance of fun and professionalism in, she was extremely responsive to all my requests and questions, and all-in-all really helped make it an amazing day. I can't thank you two enough!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wendy! She photographed our engagement session and wedding in September 2017. She is so talented and a true artist. In addition to her ph...
otography skills, she is a great person to work with. She is professional, organized, and fun to work with. We had a wonderful mix of classic portraits, beautiful candids, and creative photos that words cannot do justice. She is extremely prompt in terms of communication via email and phone. It was incredible to work with a wedding vendor that put me at ease and made sure I knew everything was taken care. I treasure the photos we have and plan to book more sessions with her in the future. Do yourself a favor and book her now!!
Wendy is absolutely incredible in every way and so easy to work with. From the first meeting I had with her, I knew it would be like a family member was photographing my wedding. W...
e talked for hours like long lost friends and she made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. My husband and I weren't sure what to do or expect at the engagement photo session but she made it so fun and relaxing we forgot we were even taking pictures. When our wedding day came, it was a fairy tale come true. Everything Wendy captured was perfect. The details, the venues, our family and friends, and most importantly, me and my husband. Her unrivaled ability to capture the essence of our wedding day and everything in between still leaves me in awe (and tears). As much as I loved knowing we were having the biggest day of our life documented on film, I barely knew she and her team were there after we took the family and wedding party photos post-ceremony. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Wendy for being such an incredible part of our special day and for her talent to create gorgeous shots that my husband and I will cherish forever! The compliments we have received on our photos are endless and nothing short of "stunning", "breath-taking", and "out of a bridal magazine". Everything Wendy promises, she executes and she is so compassionate, kindhearted and hilarious; making every single person, from the groom to the grandparents, feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
If you want to have the wedding of a lifetime, please do yourself a favor and hire Wendy!! You will fall in love with every aspect of planning and the big day thanks to her expertise, sweetness and fun-loving personality!!
Wendy is truly the best. She is kind, professional, artistic, creative, skilled, generous, bubbly, energetic & she always makes the subject feel beautiful and special. She is train...
ed and is a true professional. I have worked with other photographers and every time I go to a wedding with another one, they never add up. She is truly the best. We go back to her year after year for family, maternity, etc shoots because she is fantastic. No one compares. We've been clients for 6 years!
Wendy was absolutely amazing to work with! Her personality, ability to obtain amazing shots and artistic ability were wonderful. We interviewed several photographers and just knew ...
we were meant to work with Wendy. Wendy made us feel beautiful and truly captured the essence of our day. Our guests loved her fun attitude and great ideas for pictures! Wendy was not only our photographer but also helped save my dress after a small train tear AND continued to supply me with bobbypins to keep my hair just perfect.
Wendy is everything that you would hope for in a photographer! She is creative with her images, super personable and so much fun to have with you on your wedding day! Everyone in m...
y wedding party loved her, and my husband who doesn't like to smile in photos could do nothing but laugh and smile throughout our photos because of Wendy's great sense of humor! She was worth every single penny and then some, as the quality of her images are remarkable and her professional but fun personality makes you feel like you are hanging out with an old friend. I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding or engagement photos (or both, like we did!) because she will get the images you dreamed of and do so all while having a great time and treasuring the moment!
I was getting married in Aruba in Jan. 2013 and a few weeks before the wedding my photographer (based in Aruba) had a heart attack. Wendy photographed my friend's wedding a year p...
rior so I figured I'd give her a call and see if she could fill in last minute. She was able to make the trip and bring along an assistant. She gave us a great deal considering it was so last minute and took amazing photos of our welcome BBQ, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She has a great personality and really makes you relax when you're taking the photos. It was just like having another friend at the wedding who happened to be taking amazing photos. I HIGHLY recommend her.
I would highly recommend Wendy as your photographer! She is professional and has a wonderful personality! She is so talented. Wendy captured so many wonderful memories from our spe...
cial day.
I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about Wendy. From our first consultation, she was so easy to talk to and fun to be around. She has a way of making everyone feel c...
omfortable and express themselves in pictures. Wendy is extremely organized and professional, not to mention talented! She has quite a portfolio and blog online for you to see her work, which speaks for itself. I will definitely recommend Wendy to friends and family!
We Absolutely loved working with Wendy (and her 2nd photographer Kyle and her assistant Shannon)! We looked at a quite a few photographers and met with our top choices and thought ...
Wendy would be perfect. She has a great outgoing personality and seemed to really have a passion for what she does. She was professional throughout the process, very responsive on emails, and met with us a couple of times before the big day. She made everyone comfortable and had not trouble getting great shots! Her and her team blended in with the crowd and I think were able to capture the moments we wanted. Anyone looking for a photographer should check out her site!
Words can't express how amazing Wendy is or how happy you will be after your hire Wendy. Her talent and skills are amazing and you will be thrilled by the number, quality, and crea...
tivity from her photos. In addition, Wendy's warm spirit will put you at ease, make you laugh, and remind you to enjoy every moment of the day and the journey. Hire her now.
Wendy was incredibly easy to work with - she is fun and spunky and kept everyone in line! Although we haven't seen all of our wedding photos yet, the sneak preview that we have had...
a chance to look at is great! Along with the traditional family and bridal party photos, Wendy took some very creative/artistic pictures by the Jefferson Memorial that we are in love with. When we took the family photos after the ceremony, Wendy took charge so that we got the pictures over with as quickly as possible. She was also sensitive to the "family dynamic" issues that we needed her to be aware of to avoid uncomfortable and awkward situations. Sometimes it takes Wendy a little longer to respond to emails, but if the rest of the pictures look like the sneak peek, it is worth the wait!
Wendy is so much fun to work with. She is extremely talented but also incredibly accomodating and easy going. We have gotten TONS of compliments on our wedding photos and feel it...
was worth every penny. To have truly lasting memories of such a special day is really important, no regrets!!! Book with Wendy ASAP!!
Wendy has the ability to capture the perfect shot from the small details to the people she's photographing--every picture has so much depth and quality to them. We met her at a bri...
dal expo, and she was the first photographer we talked to. After 2 hours and meeting many other photographers, she by far had the most contagious personality. If you read all the other reviews, they all agree: she is in one word, fabulous!
Wendy is fantastic. She was very professional yet at the same time friendly, fun and energetic. She always responded to my questions and was very flexible on wedding day. When we h...
it bad traffic heading to the Chapel, Wendy went above and beyond, helping the driver find alternative routes so I wouldn't be stressed. I highly recommended Wendy.
Hiring Wendy was the best decision I made for my wedding (other than marrying my husband!). Wendy's personality is as stunning as her work. She is a friendly, happy, beautiful pers...
on that is professional in every way. If you want a photographer that dots her I's and crosses her T's, then you've found her. It really was a pleasure doing business with her.
Wendy's photography... if only there were words to describe her talent. She is the master of her art. The photos from my wedding are flawless. Yes, flawless. Her editing is as good as her knack for taking awe-inspiring pictures. She captured everything, every moment, every detail. I marvel at how she tells stories in a single frame. I am 100% satisfied with my wedding pictures. I'm not a fan of photos of myself, but somehow with her magic of lighting, editing, and eye for amazing angles, I truly love the pictures she took of me. Now that, is impressive!
The wedding album Wendy designed is gorgeous. She has so many options, and the one my husband and I chose was perfect for us. I'm sure she'll have the perfect one for you. The only thing I would warn you about, though, is that her personality and photography is addictive---once you meet her, you'll want to be her friend; once you have her as a photographer, you'll be wishing you had another event for her to photograph!!
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 w...
edding!!!! 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 comm...
unicate 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 the perfect photographer. Everyone in my wedding party wants her for their wedding. She came to my house and took beautiful engagement pictures. For the wedding she broug...

ur pictures! She captured all the great moments of our big day and we love going back and looking through all the pictures. I don't have a single complaint about Wendy and we hope to use her in the future for baby and family portraits :)
Wendy and her assistant were amazing. They covered every detail of our entire wedding weekend and didn't miss a moment...from day to night and in every type of setting...they even...
captured moments that I didn't see! She took photos - that I saw later - and I had no idea she was even near me! She has a very creative eye for detail and uniqueness. If you want so-so photos from your wedding - DON'T call Wendy. If you want PHENOMENAL photos for a lifetime, don't hesitate...you will be extremely delighted in her work and her personality. Every Bride says "if I could do it again..."....well, for me, I would change my cake - but I would not change my photographer!
Wendy is an amazing photographer! She made my husband and I feel completely comfortable when taking the millions of photos. She is has an outgoing personality that allows her to fi...
