Starting from the beginning working with Tony and Frances has been easy. They are very warm and personable and took time to understand what kind of people we are to capture us perfectly. Both of them were very patient in planning and even more ...
patient the day of the wedding. No stress, no fuss.
We were made to feel on top of the world while taking pictures!
Our wedding day was postponed several times due to Covid and they both stood by our side the entire time and stayed in near constant communication to ensure they could still be with us on our wedding day. Both Tony and Frances provided a lot of support and kind words along the way- Just above and beyond. It was so refreshing to work with people that truly seem like they care about you and have passion for their work.
We just received our photos and video and it was better then we could have imagined. They captured so many little moments, details and people that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Wonderful experience! Frances and Tony left us at ease on our day and gave us beautiful images. Very pleased. Highly recommended!
We had the pleasure of working with Frances and Tony as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier. Their passion was evident in every image. They made us feel comfortable, resulting in natural and heartfelt photographs.
Their abilit...
y to capture timeless memories made our day even more magical.
Thank you Frances and Tony for preserving our most beautiful moments. Your work is truly treasured.

Yadeli and Gabriel, You two were an absolute joy to work with! It makes such a difference in the level of photography we produce when two people such as you are onboard and game for anything! We had so much fun photographing your wedding. W...

Any questions?
If you read and listen to any review regarding your wedding photographer, please let it be this one.
We hired Frances + Tony for our wedding and it was absolutely the biggest mistake of our wedding. To get you on board, their communication st...
arted off okay. We planned everything out via a couple hour phone call. Then when the day got close, we started receiving emails at odd hours of the night that sounded like someone who was intoxicated wrote with questions we remembered answering. We were also asked to join a “quick meeting” where we found, Frances didn’t reference or have with her any of the notes from the previous meeting, and where we were told another couple they were working with was being prioritized over us since they were hired last minute, and their event was before ours. We were very upset and thought it was super unprofessional that she even brought this up to us. While we do understand that the photographer needs to be involved with the flow of the day, we also know that at the end of the day, it is OUR day and the photographer should honor that. During this call, she argued with my husband (who has 10 years of photography experience) about the timing of the day, lighting, and golden hour/sunset times.
On the day of, she brought an extra assistant without telling us, so our venue was not prepared and this added extra stress on me that was not needed. I specifically asked for her help when posing me as I know I can be awkward looking and she didn’t really do any of that for us. Most of the photos are candids that look awkward and directionless. Our contract stated that we should receive our photos back within eight weeks but took TEN weeks to come back. Finally, upon receiving them – we didn’t like most of them to be very frank. The few that we did like were in black and white so we reached out to see if we could get them in color. In the response back from Frances, she was not only nasty and rude, we also found out that she was withholding 150 additional images from her second shooter (that she didn’t tell us she was bringing) and told us she would give those to us in exchange for a glowing review online.
Please do not make the same mistake as us by going with this photographer. It will only result in a ton of additional stress that we should not have had to deal with prior to, during, and AFTER our event.
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2023
Madison, I am so sorry that you turned out to be such an unhappy customer. Honestly, I have tried everything to appease you. Please understand this: I am in the business of making people happy, the proof is in all our positive reviews. I ha...
ve tried to be gracious, kind, professional and respectful to you, yet you are determined to bring detriment to our name. You are upset because I had to call you back and verify information on the timeline we worked together on as a First Draft. I always go back and forth 2-3 times with every client before finalizing the timeline. I take pride in making sure I am on time for everything and that your day runs smoothly. You admitted you were extremely stressed out because alongside planning your wedding you guys were packing and moving, and apologized for expressing frustration toward me, to the point I had mentioned to you both that I was actually concerned about moving forward. You guys seriously got frustrated over me verifying details with you about your wedding - which is what I do to bring clarity and organization to a day that is already so stressful. Preparing the timeline is not a one and done job.
I tried to make things right with you, I brought along a 2nd shooter (that you did not pay for) in an attempt to make sure I went above and beyond excellence. You were unhappy in the dress you wore; you were unhappy with the way you looked; you were rude to your family members during portrait time. Your own mother pulled me aside and had to apologize for your behavior. Please understand I don’t drink nor do drugs, and I certainly don’t argue with any of my clients, namely your husband.
I was gracious and kind to your family, my assistants and I paid you the highest compliments, and we worked our tails off for you. I have tried to appease you and yet somehow it has all turned against me. I have learned no matter what - when people are rude and nasty - stay calm, kind and professional and I have done all of the above.
After the wedding I edited your photos with extra attention and care, yet you posted negative reviews purely out of spite. I am sorry you feel this way, but I gave you 110% despite your aggression and you being mean-spirited to me before, during and after your wedding. I treated you like the beautiful bride you were on your wedding day, even though you were unhappy, self-conscious, and uncomfortable the entire time. Your images look amazing, just look at the likes and comments on our Facebook page. Yes, we still left your photos up because we enjoyed shooting your wedding despite your unpleasant attitude and treatment.
As I told you before, I go above and beyond for my clients. Upon fulfilling all my contractual obligations, you wrote me a very nasty review (filled with exaggerations and half-truths), and afterward asked me for several favors. Had you been pleasant, kind and reasonable, I would have given you anything you asked for. In spite of it all, I wish you happiness and success in your marriage.
Frances and Tony were wonderful! Day of the wedding was a mess of rain on our out door wedding and they took it in stride and helped us get amazing pics to mark the day!
Frances and Tony were professional and fun. They made us feel comfortable and most importantly our pictures were amazing and everything I wanted them to be. They were very communicative throughout prior to the wedding which was very important t...

Capturing My Daughter’s Wedding In Time!
Let me start by confessing; I acted very much he part of the proud and extravagant father of the bride. My only daughter and her only wedding (yes, I’m declaring it to be so) needed to be remarkable. A...
s such, I set out to achieve the unachievable, the perfect wedding.
We found a great venue - The Atrium Wedding Venues Norcross GA. I engaged friends church to form and formed an ad-hoc praise and worship ensemble, and, for good measure, we hired a New Orleans Brass and Jazz Band. A quick read of a medium post I wrote a couple of years ago here https://bit.ly/3CeYz78; you'll see why this just had to be.
So far, so good!
The only remaining question was how to perfectly memorialize the moment. It all came down to the quality of the images that would live on long after the moment had passed.
No doubt, we live in an an an age where our phone devices are equipped with cameras and recording ability that can deliver a quality product. I think we take for granted what it means to have “an eye,” the ability to tell a complete and compelling story through the images of the hour, our phones have ruined the value we place on the collection of treasured photographs (“ok boomer”) for me, that was an equally important element of the entire day.
When it came time to make that decision, there was only one choice for me to make. I knew who I needed to contact. It had to be someone with the skillset to create magic, not just with quality equipment and the like, but with an eye for the moment. I knew it had to be Frances + Tony Photography & Films. You can find all of their online presence here francesandtony.com.
I met this talented duo on the set of a young singer making a big-league music video, and she wanted to bring in high-level talent to achieve her vision; she chose them. After that, we stayed in touch, and I started following their work. I became more and more impressed with their ability to capture the moment, to see the occasion through the eyes of their client. I became a real fan. When the time came for us to secure both a photographer and cinematographer, the choice was clear.
If you’re looking to add that final special touch to any event and want to capture the moment in time, you owe it to yourself to
reach out to this talented duo to discuss your needs. I promise you will be delighted with the outcome.
You can thank me later!

Thank you so much for your kind remarks, Natassja. I hope you and Spencer are doing well, and enjoying all of your new adventures together. :)
We couldn’t have been happier with the services of Frances ad Tony on our wedding day.
Their arrival at our venue was timely and they took beautiful photos during our ceremony. Afterward, they were consummate professionals in choreographing (a...
nd wrangling!) our guests for the family pictures.
My husband tore his Achilles tendon three weeks before our wedding and had to wear a huge cast and make use of a motorized scooter on our wedding day and this presented a major hurdle for Frances. She handled it like a pro! She did her best to “shoot around” the obtrusive cast, was patient with my husband’s lack of mobility getting around the venue for our desired shots, and then traveled to our reception venue 20 minutes away to get lovely photos there as well.
It took approximately 8 weeks for us to get our photos back but they were really beautiful. We highly recommend Franto and will gladly work with them again for future family photos!
Frances was great. Super professional. She was very thorough in explaining the day-of process. Our photos turned out beautifully! I would definitely recommend her.

elped me with keeping us on schedule which was huge because our coordinator went MIA lol! But they have walkie talkies and were always checking in with one another as the other was photographing or videoing something else. We loved ALL our photos and video, brought us to tears to see how beautiful everything came out. Very happy, very satisfied with everything they offered :)
Frances did an exceptional job on our wedding photos. They turned out beautifully and we cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day. Looking through the photos, it seemed like she was in more than one place at a time. She got SO. MAN...
Y. GREAT. SHOTS. We are blown away and cannot decide which photos to print. She is an incredibly gifted photographer.

Frances is amazing! We will definitely be using her in the future.
Frances has the special gift of eying beauty and arrangements. Very professional and takes her time to get it right.
Cecília was great. Very professional, always on time and gave us amazing pictures. She definitely knows her craft.
Don’t have a wedding without booking Frances!!!! My husband and I are from Colorado and married in Page AZ. I found Frances through the Knot. She called right away and was so personable and easy to talk to. I felt so comfortable. She did her re...
search on our Lake Powell area. Frances and her boyfriend were wonderful on our day! They went SO far above to make sure we had amazing photos. They took pictures of my husband and his party on the houseboat! Most unique pictures I’ve ever seen. We had so much fun with them and they made it so easy. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our photos are so unique, so beautiful, and captured every moment. I would completely recommend Frances and her boyfriend to anyone and I will use them again in the future for events. Thank you so much for hanging out and making our day better! You’re so excellent and superior at what you do! Xoxo

Curtis, we loved working with you and Whitney! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me this review. You guys are awesome rockstars! Thank you for choosing us for your special day!! :) - Frances
Very friendly.
Accomodating with her time when we had a family emergency during the wedding and had to delay taking pics.
She knows how to pose so that you look natural and the pictures turn out really well.
Obviously a wedding is one of the few HUGE MOMENTS in your life, and it is paramount for couple's to capture every possible moment throughout the day! Of course, this takes proper planning and a lot more than someone simply showing up the "day ...
of" and snapping a bunch of pictures. Frances was wonderful!!!! We met with her on a couple of occasions prior to our wedding day, and she really listened to what was important to us, and our photos reflected this respectful relationship! Our wedding day was captured beautifully, from both my wife and I getting ready, to very special moments before the ceremony, and throughout the day well into the night. Both Frances and her boyfriend ~ and fellow professional photographer, Tony, were onboard with our vision, and will forever bring smiles to my wife and I as we enjoy our Wedding Day through their eyes. If you are looking for a photographer that puts you first, that listens to what you want, that is caring, responsive and a true collaborator, look no further than Frances Celcilia Photography!! She and Tony were fantastic, and my wife Alyssa and I are forever in their debt for the memories they made forever ours! Thank you!!! ~Brian

nces didn't just show up at our wedding and take pictures. She was holding our hands 8 months before, always answering any questions we had, meeting up with us, helping us with the contract and handling family posing, tempers and so forth lol. She was amazing. We just got our first preview pictures from our wedding and Francine was in tears. They are mesmerizing. Thank you!!!
Loved working with Frances! She was the difference between a true professional, often times taking charge when needed and often times helping everyone relax LOL. We absolutely are in love with our photos! Highly recommended.

The management system she uses for viewing, downloading and ordering prints works great, and has met all of our needs.

Frances did an amazing job photographing our wedding. Before the event, we met and went over what kind of photos I was looking to receive as well as what kind of wedding I was having. She helped me to better understand the photographic process ...
so that I could work with her properly. She captured everyone looking so happy and amazing - I really could not have asked for anything more. She also worked EXTREMELY well with our wedding coordinator to keep everything on time and to make sure they were in the correct position to take the next set of photos.
Frances is a very kind, personable, and professional photographer. She was very responsive to our needs. She captured the best moments of our wedding and reception. I would highly recommend Frances Cecelia Photography.

I know my wedding was a little over a year ago (July 6, 2012) and I should have done this last year.
I used Frances Cecilia as my wedding photographer and she was super fantastic and my pictures we 100% spot on. She was very responsive in w...
hat I wanted in pictures. That day goes by in a blink of an eye and she captured moments I will cherish forever. Her professionalism was fantastic and treated me and my entire family with the utmost respect. She was on time and stayed a little past her scheduled end time. She worked hard that day, even in the Colorado monsoon and did it all with a smile.
Since then, I have used Frances for my daughter and her BFF's photo-shoot, family photo-shoot and getting ready to have my 1 year anniversary photo-shoot with her.
I guarantee your pictures will be just as perfect as mine were on my special day!
