Hello Rich and Pam Frye, Sincerely, |

We are very happy with our wedding photographs. We had originally booked another photographer for our wedding on August 9, 2009. However, when we received our engagement pictures from our first photographer we were not happy with the quality. So we looked for another wedding photographer and found Rich Photography when we looked at Google images and saw an engagement picture that had been taken by Rich Frye. I noticed the detail and background that was in the picture. My husband wanted a photographer that included a lot of background in our engagement pictures and wedding photos. He also wanted a photographer that gave us direction on how to pose. So, we called and spoke with Rich. We scheduled an engagement session which we took at Baker Beach and Japanese Tea Garden. We were so happy with our engagement pictures and could see the difference in the quality of photography that we canceled the other photographer and booked our wedding photography with Rich Frye. We thought that the wedding photos came out beautifully. The background in the photos is nice and he gave us direction on how to pose for the photos. My friends and family liked the pictures. Rich Frye is very nice and very professional. I've recommended my friend who I found out was getting married and will recommend him to anyone that I know who is getting married. Kristy and Robert Zufall :) |

Rich Frye was very professional and really took extra steps to make sure our wedding pictures came out great. We met with Rich about 9 weeks before our wedding. Rich offered to photograph our engagement photos right away. This was his way of making sure we were comfortable with his work. Rich had great suggestions of places to take our engagement photos. We met on a cold clear January morning at the Japanese Tea Garden, although it was freezing cold, Rich was able to work with us and make us feel so comfortable that the weather wasn’t a problem. The engagement pictures came out wonderful – so we were confident our wedding photos would also come out great.
Rich and Pamela are extremely professional and we had numerous compliments about them from our guests. I would highly recommend them to anyone for their wedding, engagement or family photos. Nichole English |

Words cannot express how happy I have been with Rich and Pamela’s work. We’ve enjoyed their professionalism and images so much that have used them not only for our wedding, but our family portraits as well. They captivate our family’s personality in print like I’ve never seen before. I also have never met anyone who could keep all of our kids happy during a photography sitting. (They were 2, 4, and 16 at the time of our initial family portraits) This is no easy feat. I highly recommend Rich and Pam of Frye Photography and can’t wait for them to capture our latest addition.

My fiance Matt and I met Rich through my old job and after learning that he was a professional photographer I instantly inquired with him if he did wedding photography. He was booked for the date of our wedding, much to my dismay, however he offered to do our engagement photos instead! Obviously neither Matt nor I had ever had engagement photos taken, so we had no idea what to expect. Rich met us at the Japanese Tea gardens in San Francisco. What I really liked about this was Rich had already mapped out the area and where the best places to take photos were. We were just along for the ride...which was nice b/c my fiance was a little nervous! As nervous as he was, Rich walked us step by step through the process and made us feel right at home. He was patient, kind and very professional. We then went to the Sutra baths (where my favorite photos were taken) and to the Cliff House. I was FLOORED when I got the photos back. They went beyond my expectations and I can't tell you how bummed I was that he wouldn't be able to be at my wedding. Rich made us both feel relaxed and confident that our photos would turn out to be gorgeous. But more than anything he was responsive with our ideas and turned every photo into a creative masterpiece. Anytime I wanted to contact Rich he was there whether it was via e-mail or telephone. There are some photos in my profile that Rich took. Oh, and I let it slip that I have always wanted to model, something that I'm sure will never happen...yet he let me take photos by myself and pretend like it wasn't all just a dream. It was honestly one of the best moments for me. I mean, who does that?? Pretty amazing huh?? :) Aleyta Carroll |

Rich was a fantastic photographer to work with. He had a difficult job of photographing 3 generations of family with 3 toddlers, 2 teenagers, and 8 adults outdoors, and in the end, he gave us great photographs and a wonderful memory of a rare family reunion. It was a typically chilly San Francisco day, but he got all of us to take photos at the Palace of Fine Arts for over an hour in good spirits, and then took extra time to lead us to the Bakers Beach for some more of great beach photos. He went out of his way to make it work for such a large family, and especially worked greatly with little kids. We are very happy with the work he did, and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great service and wonderful photography. Kim Family |

Pam and Rich Frye are truly the nicest people we have ever met. They were absolutely amazing! They agreed to do our wedding on a moments notice and you would never have known it. They still found time to check out the site ahead of time, meet with us, discuss preferences etc. When we were stuck without a minister, Rich offered to perform our ceremony! We were totally surprised by what a truly kind, thoughtful, and heroic offer that was. And he did a wonderful job and we are so grateful to him. Pam took our pictures and she was amazing. She is such a perfectionist and has an amazing eye for detail. Both Pam and Rich are so friendly and easy to work with. We were so comfortable and had a great time with them. After the ceremony we got the pleasure of having both Pam and Rich snapping our pictures and they work wonderfully together. When we got our pictures back we were amazed at the amount of pictures they had taken. There were so many remarkable shots, and several endearing photos. Pam did a fantastic job at capturing those special moments and giving them that extra magical touch. When we look at our pictures we are reminded of how much fun we had. The smiles on our faces are a true reflection of our day, not the phony photo “pose”. We would highly recommend Pam and Rich to anyone looking for a photographer. Your happiness and comfort are a priority for them and it shows not only in the exquisite photographs, but in their interactions throughout your special day! If you are searching for photographers, look no further, meet with them and you will see that you have found the best there is! Ray and Colleen Rico |

Hi Rich and Pamela, Thank you for the exquisite job you've done photographing us on our wedding day. You both made a potentially "hectic and exhausting fiasco" into a "playful and joyous photo extravaganza!!" We especially appreciated your gentle coaxing of a 'Pre-Wedding' photo shoot in the city on the morning of the wedding. It turned out to be great fun, got us relaxed and in the mood, and made the wedding ceremony go so much more smoothly. You cheerfully adhered to our somewhat unrealistic time frame, allowing you only a short amount of time after the wedding to shoot the wedding party and family portraits, and you were quick, professional, relaxed, and paid close attention to all the important details. We couldn't be more thrilled. As photographers too, we realized the bar was raised very high for you, and you exceeded our wildest expectations! As one of our guests commented, "it was wonderful being caught up in the whirlwind of the wedding and being captured in the treasured photo vortex!!" Now that we have previewed the pictures, we realized that the toughest job of all will be to pick our top 500 favorites. You two outdid yourselves! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any family, friend or acquaintance...you made us look and feel like a million bucks! Thanks for all you've done for us. We will treasure our photo memories forever, thanks to you! Sincerely, Mark and Pamela Menges |

Choosing our wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions for us. Since pictures are the most tangible memento from a wedding, it was critical for us to capture the essence of what made our day special. Of all the professionals we hired for the day, Rich and Pamela's preparation was unsurpassed. They are the epitome of professionals. Although they were intent on understanding what we wanted, they also helped us navigate the sea of possibilities, coming up with great recommendations that fit our style. On the day, Rich and Pamela were extremely talented at coordinating our sea of family and friends. They effortlessly got all the right people at the right spots, without being pushy. Their presence was seemless during the ceremony and reception. They were also conscious of our timeline and made sure to get us back to our guests with time to spare. We could not be happier with the end result. We do not know how they did it, but we all looked spectacular in almost all the pictures! There were so many sweet moments caught on film. Those pictures are truly a porthole to our wedding; every time we look at them, we visit that very magical day. Thank you Rich and Pamela for masterfully capturing our most special moments of our wedding day! Nick and Ami Hontalas |

It was more than a pleasure to work with Rich and Pamela. At our initial meeting we knew that Rich would be the right photographer to capture the memories of our wedding. Not only were the quality of his product samples exceptional, but his enthusiasm to meet all of our personal needs, 'sealed the deal'. As our day approached, we were impressed that Rich took the time to scope out our venues, which included the ceremony site as well as the hotel where we would be getting ready, on his own to survey the lighting and plan our 'backdrops'. He also joined us when we met with our sales rep for our final details appointment so that he could view the reception area as well as go over what he felt were ideal places to take formal pictures from his previous visit. He made great suggestions regarding where and when pictures should be taken. Because we took his suggestions to meet an extra hour prior to the ceremony, not only did he capture many, many formal shots, but our morning was calm, relaxed, not rushed, and stress free. At the reception, their presence was unobtrusive, yet our proof album showed that they were everywhere! We have so many candid pictures as we and our guests celebrated our day. Rich's attention to detail and eagerness to have us more than satisfied does not go unnoticed. His suggestion for our proof album (spiral) was great...we almost don't feel the need to get an 'actual' wedding album ;-). And when we wanted to edit our slideshow, he did so without hesitation. When we expressed a desire to have the re-editing of the slideshow done in time for our visit with Dan's family, he worked diligently to deliver our PERFECT slideshow. Rich and Pamela are aweome. If we had to do our wedding over again, we would without a doubt, definitely hire them. The only thing that we would have done differently is provide them with a list of pictures that we would have wanted. Had we done that we are confident that, amidst all of the distraction a bride and groom have on their day, Rich and/or Pamela would have made it a point to ensure that specific photos were taken. We would definetely recommend them to any couple who is planning their wedding. Sincerely, Dan and Marian Metz |

Rich, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know we appreciated all the hard work that you put into our Special Day and the following months it took to put our special Album together. There were several things we liked about how you handled our project. Punctuality, confidence, professionalism and flexibility. Whenever you said you would be somewhere you were there. Never missing an appointment. Now that says a lot since I'm also in the service business of 20yrs. Things do get hectic and you may need to arrange another time. But, you manage to have things organized to keep the said time. Rare indeed. Also, the confidence in presenting your work helped alive our worries of the important day. Not to mention working with the Videographer was flawless. The way you presented the layout from the beginning to end was clear as we understood our options. You also took more than the alloted shots to guarantee our satisfaction which shows determination and pride. Being flexible with what we liked and wanted are some things those of us in the service business know may tend to lean on our patience. But, you helped us make the decisions by letting us know some preferences of others and personal experience. I was especially impressed with the time you gave us to be sure of the changes before the album was proofed and completed. That time gave us space to finally see ourselves objectively and make the necessary changes to present the ultimate album for a lifetime to our friends and family. We definitely feel like we received the Unique Album as the acrylic cover just magnifies the lengths to which you go in pleasing your customers. The fact that the pictures of our Special Day tell of the quality of service. All anyone has to do is see some of the images and it's obvious that photography is more than a job to you. Rich and Pam we truly feel satisfied. If you ever need a referral , never hesitate to email or call us for as long as you like. John & Mayra Dotson |

We would be happy to be a reference if you need and we will let our friends know about your services and your great work. Warmest regards, Pam and Dean Treadway |

I have been a DJ who has worked at many weddings over the last 18 years. I can honestly say that being involved in many weddings I've seen some truly great photographers. I would put Rich Frye in the top of the top of that list. He not only has an eye for what to shoot, and what not too, but adds class and style to his pictures. He has a way of capturing the moment, but without disturbing the whole ceremony. I know first hand (because I've seen him at work) that he pours time into making sure that each picture comes out incredible. Sometimes touching up photos to make them look their very best. He has some techniques that I just don't see most photographers offer. Such as the mosaic tile pictures made up from shots of the wedding to make one big picture. I know that anyone who has hired him has had nothing but wonderful things to say about the work that he does. Rich's work is not just pictures, but truly works of art. I would recommend Rich Frye as the photographer to anyone. CRAIG GAYLORD High Tech DJ's (707)703-2711 |
