I have known of Frannie of Ampersand Studios since 2011 as she was the photographer for my cousin's wedding that year. For that particular wedding I had been a bridesmaid, and I re...
member seeing the photos from the event and feeling so amazed, instantly falling in love with her work. As I sat at the computer scrolling through the numerous wedding albums on her website, I remember thinking: I really want her to photograph my own wedding one day.
Fast forward eight years later, my husband and I told our planner that we wanted Frannie of Ampersand Studios for our May 2019 wedding. Frannie is, above all, a professional, but she is also a creative artist. Watching her work is a delight in and of itself for she comes fully equipped and prepared, coming up with shots and angles that any given couple would have never thought of. Her creativity is absolutely boundless, all my husband and I had to do was follow her instructions and look pretty. After the family photo session, my mother-in-law was amazed at her efficiency, saying she has never seen family photos go so fast and turn out so impressive. She is quick, organized, and thorough; an absolute master of her craft.
Even when we had a last minute venue change for our reception due to incremental weather, Frannie looked at the change as a great opportunity for beautiful rainy day pictures. I cannot express how I felt as a very stressed out bride to have a photographer excited for rain. When she assured me that the pictures would be all the more beautiful because of the gloomy weather, I was more at ease and trusted her expertise.
The moment I was granted a sneak peak of our wedding photos, I could not help but bawl my eyes out. Frannie captured the whimsical romance of that very special day, and granted my husband and I a treasure trove of memories we can forever share. Thank you a million times over Frannie!! You are truly amazing and such a genuine person!

he was amazing to work with- she made us feel relaxed and created a safe, fun atmosphere for our wedding photos. Even more impressive, she had a gift with children and got them all laughing and smiling for photos! Just book with them; you won't regret it!

ried and I have only seen 1 sneak peek photo from the wedding but if they are anything like the Engagement Photos (which were included in the price of the package), I know they will be beautiful.
I thought their prices were kind of high for the Boise area but compared to other vendors, their quality to value ratio is right on par.
These ladies are good at getting people in place, they were fast but captured everything I wanted.
